We will dive into the lessons from the best-selling book The Secret which changed the lives of millions of people and go over real-life success stories. Are you ready?
Does the law of attraction work for weight loss?
The answer to this question is short and sweet – YES! The Law of Attraction can indeed be used for weight loss as the concept of the practice is simple yet so easy. Your thoughts and feelings create your reality, which means as well the way you look, your weight, and your overall health. When focusing on your desired outcome and using the technique of visualizing yourself in the perfect shape and weight, the Universe will provide the motivation, the ambition, and the opportunity to reach that goal.
Most importantly, note that you have to put in work, such as eating healthy and working out. Continuing to eat over your caloric intake daily, and not getting enough movement, will harm the process. Think about that, as more nutritious food you eat, drink enough water, and move your body you will automatically be full of serotonin and endorphins which are the “happy” hormones, and being in that state of mind your vibration is rising and that what you desire is easily attracted and manifested. Be ready to make the necessary adjustments to create a healthy lifestyle and lose weight.
How can I trick my mind to lose weight?
When it comes to attracting anything in your life, you first have to be and act as you desire to become. To start, get up and go to the grocery store. Fill your fridge with healthy and nutritious food. When looking in the mirror, see yourself in the best shape of your life. Visualize yourself living that lifestyle, fitting into the clothes you want to wear, and most importantly, feeling how you would feel when achieving that goal. Before getting started, sit down with yourself, grab a pen and paper, or if it is more convenient, use your phone or laptop.
Make a list of what you want to achieve, such as how you want to look or what size you want to wear. From then on, whenever you try on clothes, imagine yourself wearing them in the size you desire. When you look in the mirror, stop and look at yourself and see yourself in the shape you wish to be. If you want to take it a step further, start buying clothes that are smaller. The idea is to trick your mind and how do we do it? By taking constant action and showing up as the person we want to become, the rest will follow.
How to set intentions to lose weight
You may wonder how to set the right intentions and how to kick-start the process of achieving your desired weight loss goals. To set the right intentions, you should do the following:
- Set a specific and clear goal of what you want to achieve.
- Visualize yourself feeling confident and happy with the weight you desire.
- Get creative and create a vision board for yourself. Browse through Pinterest or Google and choose images that resonate the most with your goal.
- Practice affirmations and repeat them throughout the day
- Have 100% faith in yourself and that you are able to achieve that goal.
- Take consistent action towards your goal and stay focused.
How to manifest weight loss with the law of attraction?
- The first step in using the law of attraction to lose weight is to clearly identify and picture your goal. This is creating a clear mental image of yourself at your desired weight and setting particular, measurable goals for how much weight you want to lose.
- Believe in your ability to achieve your goal: To make the law of attraction work for you, you must believe that you can reach your weight loss goal. This includes releasing any limiting beliefs or doubts you may have about your ability to lose weight.
- Focus on positive affirmations and visualization: Tell yourself positive affirmations on a daily basis. Visualize yourself having already reached your weight loss target and feeling satisfied and secure in your physique.
- Take action toward your goal: While visualization and positive affirmations are vital, taking action toward your goal is much more important. This includes making healthy choices like eating a balanced diet and exercising on a regular basis. Instead of becoming caught down in the future, the key is to focus on the current moment and take little steps toward your goal.
- Surround yourself with people who support your weight loss goal and avoid those who are dismissive or negative. Remove any triggers that may drive you to overeat or make poor decisions, such as keeping junk food out of the house. You can improve your chances of success by surrounding yourself with positive people and avoiding negative influences.
- Practicing gratitude will help you shift your focus from what you don’t have to what you have. You can shift your perspective and begin to recognize the positive parts of your current situation by being grateful for the things in your life, which can make it easier to attain your weight loss goal.
- Perfectionism can hinder weight loss by causing you to be overly critical of yourself and your efforts. Instead of concentrating on setbacks or mistakes, try to focus on progress and enjoy minor triumphs.
- Mindfulness can assist you in becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings, making it simpler to detect and modify problematic thought patterns. Being more attentive allows you to become more in tune with your body and its needs, making healthy decisions easier.
What does the Secret say about weight loss?
According to The Secret, the world-famous movie and book, weight loss can be achieved by focusing on the desired outcome and using the power of visualization to see yourself at your desired weight. The Secret teaches that the Law of Attraction can be used to manifest weight loss when focusing on positive thoughts and emotions. It also emphasizes the importance of consistency and taking action toward your goal, as well as having faith in your ability to achieve it. Confidence is key!
The author of The Secret, Rhonda Byrne, has an interesting point of view on this topic. In one of her interviews with Newsweek.com, she advised not to focus specifically on losing weight because if we focus on losing weight, we will attract the need to lose more weight. This is the very reason that diets do not work. Instead, Rhonda advises focusing on feeling good and healthy, and our body will naturally adjust to our desired weight. She also mentions that our condition of being overweight is created through our thoughts.
In the most basic terms, if someone is overweight, it came from thinking “fat thoughts,” whether that person was aware of it or not. A person cannot think “thin thoughts” and be overweight. It contradicts the law of attraction. Rhonda advises that The Secret is about shifting your focus from lack, which creates more lack, to abundance, and that includes the abundance of health, wealth, and happiness. Applying this principle to weight loss as well, by focusing on feeling healthy and happy, rather than on losing weight, can help everyone achieve their weight loss goals.

She manifested to lose 1 pound a day and by adjusting her mindset, she achieved it. Based on my personal experience, I discovered the Law of Attraction when I was in 7th grade while my parents were watching the movie The Secret on a cozy Sunday afternoon in the living room. I became curious and sat down with them to watch it, and ever since, I have used the Law of Attraction to bring into my life whatever I desire. My first concern was my weight, as I had been overweight for a long time, and I always wanted to get in shape and lose weight.
I set my mind to it and started to look at food as nutrition rather than emotional support. I also started walking and discovered my passion for Zumba. Whenever I looked in the mirror, I saw my future self, fit and slim! With time and enough effort from my side, I managed to lose 13 kilos in a time span of 6 months. Since then, I have kept the weight off and rebuilt a positive relationship with food and my body, knowing that I am enough and that my body is so powerful and beautiful.
Conclusion
The Law of Attraction works in every aspect of our lives, including our weight loss journey. We should focus on the fact that we cannot lose weight magically out of anywhere, but we also have to set our mindset for it and learn to love ourselves, and our circumstances, and to believe in ourselves that it is possible to lose weight. Once we learn to be patient and fall in love with the journey, not the goal, the Universe will shower us with all that we need to be consistent and keep going. Opportunities will flow in, and we will find suitable ways to lose weight and adjust our mindset. Everything is possible when it comes to the Law of Attraction, and all it needs is our positive outlook on ourselves and the world.
