I Understand The Law Completely…So Why Am I Still Struggling To Stay In The State?
Hi everyone,
I want to start off by saying I’ve known about the Law for nearly 4 years now. I’ve spent countless hours reading, studying, analyzing, testing, and ultimately applying it in my own life. At this point, I can confidently say I understand the concepts extremely well and could explain the Law in great detail to pretty much anyone. Knowledge honestly isn’t my issue anymore…the “doing” part is where I’ve struggled.
One of the biggest things for me has been staying in the state consistently. I’m actively working on changing the belief that this is difficult for me, because I know even identifying with that struggle is still reinforcing it.
My current desire revolves around love. Quick backstory. I’m 26 now, and in June of 2025 I got out of a 7 year relationship. Since then, my ex got into another relationship, and honestly, as painful as that was, it also lit a fire under me and pushed me to make a lot of positive changes in my life.
Where I’m struggling is this:
I can get into the state. I know what it feels like to assume the wish fulfilled. I’ve had moments where I genuinely feel like it’s done, where I fall asleep assuming I already have the relationship I desire and everything feels natural. But maintaining that state consistently for long periods has felt challenging.
I’ll have days where I feel completely aligned, confident, detached from the old story, and genuinely at peace. Then other days I catch myself slipping back into thoughts of being alone, not chosen, thinking about my ex with someone else, reacting to the 3D, spiraling a bit, etc. You guys probably know the cycle.
What’s frustrating is I’m very aware of my thoughts now. I catch negative patterns almost instantly. But sometimes I feel like I’ve become so hyper-aware of whether I’m “doing it right” that I end up monitoring myself constantly, which ironically pulls me out of the state even more.
I still persist. I always return to the desired state eventually. But it hasn’t necessarily felt “easy” or natural yet.
I do SATS most nights. Some nights feel amazing and effortless, other nights I fall asleep in the old story. I know circumstances don’t matter and I know the 3D is only reflecting previous assumptions, but emotionally, some days are definitely harder than others.
For the people who’ve genuinely gone through this and came out the other side:
What was the turning point for you?
Did you also go through periods where it felt like you were constantly flipping between states? Did you feel like you weren’t “doing it right” at the time, even though things eventually worked out?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who can relate.
Thanks everyone :)
