Is The Secret for real?

I’m a great believer in doing anything I can to make my daily life more joyful, healthier and to keep the abundance flowing, but I have to be honest a few months ago I was not a happy camper. Normally I can bounce back from most of life’s curve balls, but i’d taken a beating of late and it had almost snuffed out my mojo.

My lovely Mum suggested I have a go at using The secret app …now my first response was no way, I hate those things, there’s no way a stupid app is going to help me!

And my life continued on… full of stress, ill health and lack.

To give you the short version, it took another two people mentioning how changing the daily conversations I was having with myself (and others, I’m not a complete loon!) would help attract new opportunities, synchronises and energy into my days. My life would subtly change in a matter of months. I just had to be consistent with it… Did you know, it takes between 30-90 days to change a habit, and crappy thinking is just another unhelpful habit.

The Secret is based on the Law of Attraction; the ability to attract into our lives whatever we spend our time focusing on. If your main point of focus is what is not working in your life, the theory goes that you will continue to receive more of the same.

Now this is not new news to me, when I ran my therapy practice I passed on the same advise to the people I worked with… I had just gotton so far into my own rut I couldn’t see it.

Stop for a moment and think about the conversations you’ve had with people recently. Have you got together with your friend and shared your problems? I thought a problem shared is a problem halved right? What if that’s not how it goes, what if by having a good moan you’re just asking for more of the same??? Holy moly, I don’t know about you, but stuff really needed to change if that is the case, because I was most definitely done with my current reality!

So I checked out The Secret app… I’m an android user, my phone is an oldie but a goodie, so no problems installing it, so far so good. Then I had to pay for the thing, now that challenged me, did I want this gizmo enough to pay almost fiver for it?! My knee jerk response was absolutely not! And then the calmer less stroppy version of me chirped in… what if this really did change my life, and I missed the opportunity because I was too tight to pay a fiver?

Interesting thought eh? Sometimes in life you just have to take a punt, you can weigh it all up, write your lists of pros and cons, get other peoples pennies worth on it but in the end, the only person who can change the way your life is going is you!

So I invested a little in a hope, that perhaps if I followed this program I just might find a happier life along the way.

I filled in my list of desires, which interestingly took me longer than I thought to come up with.

I read the daily inspirations and affirmations, Yeah yeah, I heard most of them before, like a stroppy teenager being forced to do her homework… I was waiting to be impressed!

My first check from the universe came in for £500, the game is, you have to spend the money to receive more the next day and the amount keeps going up, Happy days! How easy is that, to begin with really easy, I paid of stuff, fixed stuff, treated myself to a new wardrobe all the obvious stuff.

Then I had to start getting creative, I had £20,000 and I had to spend it. So then the fun really began. I paid off family and friends mortgages, sent them all on first class world trips. I bought massive parcels of land and turned them into nature reserves, I set up charities. I gave a cash to all of my neighbours, so when they woke in the morning it would be like Christmas had come early! Now this is way more fun than just spending it on myself, now I’m sharing the Love.

I found myself looking forward to the cha-ching on my phone, letting me know the Universe has once again blessed me with good fortune…who’d have thought it, an app can be fun!

So here I am just shy of 4 months in and I’ve got some pretty interesting stats to share with you:

I have a total of £8,321 in manifested money, yes, that is actual money in my pocket! All the little discounts, refunds and miracles to do with money that the app had me tune in on and make a note of really did add up!

I have joyfully spent £7,730,650! That has blown my mind, as its in a completely none guilty way…spending money without guilt is a really new feeling for me, who knew what jolly good fun it is.

I feel more worthy of abundance, I am able to acknowledge the abundance that I have already in my daily life, I have joyful conversations far more than I complain. I am more happy, healthier and wealthier… If you want a penny’s worth from me, I’d say give it a go, you may just surprise yourself too…
