When you have a mental illness, whether it be depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, or bipolar disorder, to name a few, you may fear that mental illness and the Law of Attraction don’t go together. The fear comes from the belief that you are constantly facing a lot of negativity because of having a mental illness.
Of course, it does not help that there are plenty of articles online hosted by chronic illness websites about how the Law of Attraction is ableist. That is another misconception of the Law of Attraction among many because it is not.
The Law of Attraction works for anyone, regardless of your mental and neurological health. Therefore, if you have depression, anxiety, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, and other ailments, it can work for you if you know how to use it. The same goes if you have classic autism or cognitive impairments. If you understand the basics, you can use them. So, let’s talk about how you can make the Law of Attraction work for you despite any mental illness or neurological condition you have.
The Most Important Thing Is To Cut Yourself Slack
You have a mental or neurological illness. Unfortunately, you cannot help it as your condition results from chemical and structural imbalances in the brain. Once you can understand that at the heart level, you will feel lighter. It is critical to realize this and be kind to yourself because otherwise, you may keep beating yourself up for depression or another mental or neurological disorder.
If you keep beating yourself up for it, then you will believe you will not be able to attract anything positive in your life. And once that happens, you know you are using the Law of Attraction the wrong way.
At the same time, don’t fake feeling better too. If you try to fake it, you will not feel authentic, which will go back to believing that you are not worthy of good things. It is essential to allow any emotion or feeling to flow and pass, which is the only way to come to acceptance and stay kind to yourself.
Once you realize this, set an intention to feel better and allow anything to come into your life that you truly want. This will be a slow process, and you will have some difficult days. However, it is essential not to sway from your intention.
As Long As Your Intention Is Pure, You Attract Positivity At The Heart Level
You always have to remember that once you set a solid intention to feel better and go after what you want, it is in your heart. If the purpose is locked in your heart, you will keep coming back to that even after some rough moments. If you have depression, you may have some days where you are feeling low, or if you have anxiety, you may face a trigger that will cause you to attack. If you have ADHD and lose something, you may get angry because that is a difficult habit to break.
However, remind yourself of your intention when that happens. You desire to feel better and to go after what you want. You want to improve yourself while accepting the truth that you have the condition. Because of that, a bad day or a bad few days will not attract negativity.
Once you practice falling back to your heart’s desire each time you have a setback, you will break the cycle of feeling unworthy to attract anything positive in your life.
Make Meditation A Habit
When attempting to improve your mental health, one of the best things you can do is practice meditation daily. You will want to get into the habit of it. Start for five minutes, and you can focus on your breathing, and then you can work your way up. Once you become more accustomed to it, then you can increase the time you meditate. Eventually, you can practice some visualization which can also help you with using the Law of Attraction.
Commit To Working With A Therapist
If you are not seeing a therapist, you will want to see one. Unfortunately, you may have to endure some trial and error with therapists as some types may not be compatible with you. You also want to go to a therapist specializing in your mental illness, so you are receiving the right help. Another thing to do is do the homework your therapist gives you, which will help you go after the intention you set. That is to feel better so you can attract great things.
Your Diet Matters
If your diet consists of sugar and trans fats, you need to make some significant adjustments. If you eat junk food and fast food, you are not helping your overall health, contributing to poor health and a constant poor state of mind. If you need to go to a dietician or a nutritionist to help you get onto a path of healthy eating, then that is a great idea! However, stick to fruits, vegetables, nuts as long as you don’t have an allergy to them, proteins, and drink plenty of water. You can enjoy an occasional sugary treat without it lowering your vibration – as long as you keep it infrequent.
Get Moving
Exercise helps to bring out the endorphins in your brain, which is the happy chemical. When you commit yourself to a half-hour of activity, whether it is doing aerobics or taking a brisk walk, you are going to feel so much better from that alone. If you keep at it, you will find that your bad days are more infrequent than they used to be! Exercise is not only good for your physical health. It is essential for your mental health.
If you can do those things regardless of what type of mental or neurological illness you have, you can make the Law of Attraction work in your favor. But, of course, don’t forget to keep seeing your doctor, and don’t forget to take your medication if you have any prescriptions. By doing this, you are taking care of yourself, and that alone will help you work with the Law of Attraction!
