This is how our pessimistic attitude actually leads to the exact outcomes we expect. Research has also shown that a negative mood or attitude puts others off, hurting our relationships. We literally see bad things when they don't exist. Indeed, research shows that if we're already feeling bad (if we're anxious for example), we're more likely to interpret neutral circumstances in an anxiety-provoking way. And you're likely to feed a cycle of negative emotions that can manifest the exact negative day you expected. You're more likely to see neutral things as terrible. This is what is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.įor example, if you wake up "on the wrong side of the bed" and you expect your day will be terrible, you're actually more likely to do things that make your day terrible. There is also research showing that whatever our expectations are, they tend to be confirmed. To manifest what we want, we need to believe we can do it, feel strongly enough about it to be persistent, and ultimately engage in the behaviors that bring about the outcomes we desire. And that is key: manifestation takes work. This science-based approach instead shows us that if we truly believe we can achieve something, we are willing to put in the work to achieve it.

So you work hard to get into a good school, work hard while in school, and create a successful therapy practice that brings you a lot of joy.
