In a world that often pushes us to focus on what we lack, it’s easy to fall into the habit of constantly asking life for things—money, success, relationships, recognition. We are taught that if we just ask for what we want, we can manifest it. But what if the act of asking, especially when it’s rooted in fear or scarcity, is actually what’s holding us back from the very things we desire?

Rather than focusing on the material or specific outcomes, there’s a deeper, more powerful approach: ask life how you want to feel. When you do this, you align yourself with the law of attraction in its purest form, because life responds not to your words or wishes but to the energy you vibrate. By focusing on feelings and energy, you shift from a state of fear to a state of creation, putting yourself on the path to attracting what truly resonates with your authentic self.

The Flaw in Asking for Things

When we ask for something, it often comes from a place of fear or a sense of lack. We think we need a better job, a new car, or a romantic partner to feel fulfilled. The problem is, these desires are often shaped by external pressures and our own insecurities. We ask because we are afraid of not having enough, of not being enough. This mindset keeps us locked in a cycle of wanting, needing, and striving, never fully satisfied with what we have or where we are.

The truth is, asking for specific outcomes puts limitations on what life can offer. We become so fixated on the thing we want that we close ourselves off to the broader, more abundant possibilities the universe has in store for us. When our desires are motivated by fear or lack, we attract more of that energy into our lives—more fear, more lack, more dissatisfaction.

Vibrating with Intentional Energy

Instead of asking life for things, ask how you want to feel. This is where the shift happens. Feelings are powerful because they are the energy we emit into the world. When you focus on how you want to feel—whether it’s joy, peace, love, or abundance—you vibrate at a higher frequency. And life, in turn, responds to this frequency by bringing you experiences that match it.

For example, instead of asking for more money, ask yourself how having financial abundance would make you feel. Is it freedom, security, or joy that you’re truly seeking? Once you identify the feeling, begin cultivating that energy in your everyday life. Start by appreciating the freedom, security, or joy you already have, no matter how small. As you raise your energetic vibration to match those feelings, you naturally attract circumstances and opportunities that align with that energy.

The law of attraction isn’t about asking for specific things—it’s about becoming a match for the energy of what you desire. When you vibrate with the energy of abundance, life will naturally bring more abundance your way. When you vibrate with the energy of love, you’ll attract more love. This is the true essence of the law of attraction.

Applying the Law of Attraction through Energy

Now that we understand the importance of vibrating with intentional energy, how can we apply this in our daily lives? Here are a few practical steps to help you shift from asking for things to aligning with the energy of how you want to feel:

1. Get clear on your desired feelings: Take a moment to reflect on the areas of your life where you feel lacking. Ask yourself, “What do I truly want to feel in this area?” For example, if you’re unhappy at work, it might not be about wanting a new job, but about wanting to feel valued and fulfilled. Once you’ve identified the feeling, write it down.
2. Cultivate those feelings daily: Start looking for ways to experience your desired feelings now, even in small ways. If you want to feel peace, create peaceful moments in your day—whether it’s through meditation, taking a walk in nature, or spending time with loved ones. By focusing on how you want to feel, you raise your vibration and become a magnet for more of that energy.
3. Let go of the “how”: One of the biggest barriers to manifesting is our attachment to how things should unfold. When you’re focused on feelings rather than specific outcomes, it becomes easier to trust life and let go of rigid expectations. Trust that life will bring you what you need to match your energy, often in ways you didn’t expect.
4. Practice gratitude: Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations you can emit. The more you appreciate what you have, the more you open yourself up to receive. Make it a daily practice to express gratitude for the feelings and experiences you already have, no matter how small they may seem.

When you stop asking life for specific things and instead focus on how you want to feel, you align with the law of attraction on a deeper, more authentic level. You move from a state of fear and limitation to a state of creation and abundance. By vibrating with the energy of the feelings you desire, you naturally attract experiences, opportunities, and outcomes that match that vibration.

So the next time you catch yourself asking for something—whether it’s a job, a relationship, or a material possession—pause and ask yourself: “How do I really want to feel?” Then focus on cultivating that energy in your life, and watch as life responds to your vibrational shift.
