3 Ways The Law of Attraction Can Improve Your Lifestyle

The Law of Attraction, which is part of the 12 Universal Laws, is perhaps the one that has gained most notoriety. Although it has existed for eons, it wasn’t until the release of ‘The Secret’, in 2006, that the concept started to seep into the public domain.

Given that the concept also overlaps with some religious teachings—like the word of faith movement— the practice has quickly gained traction throughout the western world. The Law teaches that you attract what you are—if you believe in something strongly enough, and set your mind on it, you will see it become a reality.

You can manifest the business of your dreams

In business, too, the Law of Attraction has fascinated entrepreneurs as a serious method for manifesting revenue, clients or new product lines. Celebrity talk show host, and entrepreneur, Oprah Winfrey, famously devoted a whole episode to the phenomenon. As a devotee of the practice, she inspired many to follow in her wake.

Whilst many have dismissed it as mere ‘positive thinking’, author and certified Law of Attraction life-coach, Divina Caballo, has taken the modality to new heights. In her exploration of the practice, she has focused on harnessing the very powerful attributes of the three minds—conscious, subconscious and superconscious.

Describing her own experience of applying the Law, Caballo says: “I had a picture of the type of business I wanted to run. The types of fruitful relationships I wanted to cultivate. However, I just seemed to get the opposite. It took me some time to realize I was full of negative subconscious self-beliefs and the universe was simply returning what I was exuding. As soon as I deleted the subconscious beliefs, (not just the conscious beliefs) everything in my professional life began to shift; every interaction became positive and satisfying.”

You can clear your life of limitations

To reap the rewards of the Law, it is widely accepted you must first eliminate all of the negative mindsets that so easily hamper progress. To achieve this, Caballo encourages her clients to regularly partake in unblocking sessions where a transformational form of energy technique is used to negate or unblock subconscious or superconscious areas of the mind that are causing a cessation of positive events and outcomes.

Caballo explains, “Perhaps, your goal is to make a million dollars. That’s the conscious mind verbalizing your intentions. But, in your subconscious, you might have hundreds of negative beliefs—’I’m not good enough’, ‘I don’t deserve this.’ The negative subconscious belief is always going to win… it’s more powerful than the conscious mind alone.”

Abandoning negativity can also have a marked effect on one’s physical appearance. So many English expressions identify the toll that stress can have on the body—”He carried the weight of the world on his shoulders,” or, “She was worried sick.” It seems the human race has always had an innate awareness of the deleterious effects of self-deprecating thoughts.

Caballo recalls a female client who underwent “reprogramming”—a process of purging unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with more productive ones—only to experience a sudden change in her health. Having suffered with five separate diseases, the client was shocked to receive a clean bill of health from a doctor—no disease markers. As well as the diagnosis, Caballo says the client had “a lot of energy, incredible sleep and boundless energy.”

You can connect with your inner creative genius

For those who want to harness the full capacity of the human mind, there remains a third realm—the superconscious mind. This is often referred to as the ‘All-Knowing’ mind, a reference to its involvement in dreams, intuitive impulses, wisdom, innate talents and creativity.

Many report periods in life where they feel more connected to this area of their mind. For example, teenagers and young adults seem to be more creative and vibrant. They are more attuned to the subtle messages coming from the superconscious mind. Society urges most of us to abandon that type of intuitive thinking in favor of logic and reason. Nevertheless, those who listen to this ‘voice’ display greater creativity in disciplines such as singing, dancing or writing. For business people, this might offer the ability to create a new ad campaign, devise a new product or simply spot an opportunity in the market.

Caballo adds: “The superconscious mind is responsible for the majority of your manifesting power. Your higher self ‘dictates’ marketing and product ideas. You shouldn’t worry about what you are going to come up with; it’s already being transmitted to the deep recesses of your mind. The reason most people struggle to discover their life’s purpose, or feel like they lack talent, is because they have a blocked superconscious mind. Spiritual practice can help to open this up and manifest your unique, divine plan.”

When Seasons Shift: Dr. Leeshe Grimes on Grief, Loneliness, and Finding Light Again

Some emotional storms arrive without warning. A sudden change in weather, a holiday approaching, or even a bright sunny day can stir feelings that don’t match the world outside. For many people, the hardest seasons are not defined by temperature; they are defined by what’s happening inside, where grief and loneliness often move quietly.

This is the emotional terrain where Dr. Leeshe Grimes has spent her career doing some of her most meaningful work. As a psychotherapist, registered play therapist, retired U.S. Army combat veteran, and founder of Elevated Minds in the DMV area, she understands how deeply seasonal shifts and unresolved grief can affect people. Her upcoming books explore this very space, guiding readers through the emotional weight that can appear during different times of the year.

What sets Dr. Grimes apart is her ability to see clearly what many people overlook. Seasonal depression, for example, is usually tied to winter months. But she often sees it appear during warm, bright seasons, the times when the world seems happiest. For someone already grieving or feeling disconnected, watching others travel, celebrate, or gather can create its own kind of heaviness. Sunshine doesn’t always lift the mood; sometimes it highlights what feels missing.

The same misunderstanding surrounds grief. Society often treats it as a short-term experience with predictable phases and a clean ending. But in her practice, Dr. Grimes sees how grief keeps evolving. It doesn’t disappear on a timeline. It weaves itself into routines, memories, and milestones. People learn to carry it differently, but they rarely leave it behind completely. And that’s not failure, it’s human.

Her approach to mental health centers on truth rather than pressure. She encourages clients to acknowledge the emotions they try to hide: sadness that lingers longer than expected, moments of joy that feel out of place, and the waves of loneliness that return even when life seems stable. Instead of pushing for quick recovery, she focuses on helping people understand how emotions shift and how to care for themselves through those changes.

Much of her insight comes from her military years, where she witnessed the emotional toll of loss, transition, and constant survival. She saw how people continued functioning while carrying pain that had nowhere to go. That experience shaped her belief that healing requires space, space to feel, to speak, and to move through emotions without judgment.

In her clinical work today at Elevated Minds, she encourages people to build small, steady habits that anchor them during difficult seasons. Journaling helps them recognize patterns and name what feels heavy. Community support breaks the cycle of isolation. Therapy creates a place where emotions don’t have to be minimized or explained away. And intentional routines, daily sunlight, mindful breaks, and calm evenings help rebuild emotional balance.

Her upcoming books expand on these ideas, offering practical guidance for navigating both grief and seasonal depression. She focuses on helping readers understand that healing is not about escaping pain. It’s about learning how to live with it in a healthier way, honoring memories, acknowledging loneliness, and still allowing room for moments of light.

What makes Dr. Leeshe Grimes a compelling voice in mental health is her ability to bring language to experiences that many struggle to explain. She reminds people that emotional seasons don’t always match the weather and that there is no single path through grief. But within those shifts, she believes there is always a way forward.

The seasons will continue to change. And with the right tools, compassion, and support, people can change with them, finding steadiness, softness, and light again, one step at a time.
