Let’s dive into a foundational yet often overlooked principle of the Law of Attraction: Be for things, not against things. At first, this might sound like semantics. But this shift—from pushing against to leaning into—holds profound vibrational implications.
When you’re against something, you’re focused on what you don’t want. And, as the Law of Attraction teaches us, whatever you focus on—you attract more of.
Let’s walk through some everyday examples of how this subtle but sneaky mindset can show up and how shifting your focus can bring more alignment.
Example #1: Being Against Debt
You might say, I just want to get out of debt! On the surface, this might sound like a perfectly reasonable, even positive desire. But notice the vibration of that statement. Get out of debt is focused squarely on… debt.
What you’re really doing here is energizing the problem, not the solution. It’s like swimming upstream while staring at the shore you’re trying to leave.
Instead, be for financial freedom. Be for abundance. Be for the feeling of ease with money. Shift your mindset with statements like:
-
I’m moving toward financial clarity.
-
I love the idea of money flowing to me with ease.
-
I’m building wealth one aligned choice at a time.
Example #2: Being Against Your Job
Have you ever caught yourself saying, I can’t stand my boss. I hate this job. It’s so stressful! When you’re focused on everything wrong at work, you’re broadcasting that low-vibe signal loud and clear, and the Law of Attraction responds with more of that.
Instead, find aspects of your job you can appreciate, even the smallest ones. Be for your growth. Be for your resilience. Be for the paycheck that supports your lifestyle or the skills you’re building. Shift your thoughts to:
-
I’m getting clearer about what I want in my career.
-
I appreciate the stability this job provides while I align with something better.
-
Each day brings me closer to meaningful work I love.
Example #3: Being Against Aging or Your Body
This one hits close to home for many. People often find themselves unconsciously against their bodies—whether noticing wrinkles, weight gain, or a health condition. The thoughts can go something like, I need to lose this weight, or I hate how I look in pictures, or even Why is my body betraying me?
But here’s the truth: You cannot criticize yourself into well-being.
Instead, be for your well-being. Be for energy. Be for vitality. Be for self-love at every age and stage. Try shifting your mindset with affirmations like:
-
I love caring for this amazing body.
-
Every cell of my body is responding to love.
-
I’m choosing foods, thoughts, and movement that honor me.
Example #4: Being Against Traffic, Politics, or the Weather
Even in little moments, we slip into resistance. Stuck in traffic? You might grumble: This is ridiculous! People don’t know how to drive!
But guess what? Your vibe is one of resistance, and it only snowballs from there.
The same goes for watching the news or arguing online. You’re against “those people,” against “what’s wrong,” and then wondering why you feel anxious or drained.
Instead, be for peace. Be for solutions. Be for patience. Even if the circumstances don’t change, your alignment does. Say things like:
-
I use this time to breathe and reset.
-
I trust that everything is unfolding for the highest good.
-
I’m choosing my vibration, no matter what’s happening around me.
A Simple Practice for the Next 24 Hours
Over the next 24 hours, notice every time you’re against something—traffic, bills, your to-do list, your weight, someone’s opinion.
Then ask yourself: What am I for instead? Let that question shift your focus, your words, and your vibe. That’s where your power lies.
Closing Thoughts
Remember, being for something doesn’t mean you’re passive. It means you’re deliberate. You’re aligning with what you do want—because that’s what the Law of Attraction responds to.
So take a breath. Be vibrationally for the life you’re creating.
Until next time—stay aligned, stay curious, and keep choosing your vibe on purpose.
