Here's how the whole "manifesting" thing actually works

Ok, real talk? I have some mixed emotions about the idea of “manifesting.”

I know the whole “law of attraction” thing is basically a religion for some folks, and I have no doubt this video will likely land a few strongly worded emails in my inbox. Even so, here it is: my no-holds-barred, honest opinion about all things manifest, beginning with the book that started it all, “The Secret.”

This episode's a long one, but if you can stick with it, there's a lot in store, including what's actually happening when you "manifest,” why some people are more naturally positive than others, and, lastly, how to attract love, success, and good stuff into your life (hint: it has less to do with "the Universe" and more to do with "channeling your attention").

Is this the *cheat code* for feeling happy?

This ridiculously simple happiness hack releases serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins instantly.

For many of us, happiness doesn’t always come all that easily. We fuss and we grind, spending outrageous amounts of time, energy, and money trying to make ourselves happier. We buy sports cars and run marathons, but, at the end of the day, happiness - or any positive emotion for that matter - may actually be much more accessible (and a hell of a lot less expensive) than we might think.

Thich Nhat Hanh once noted that "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy." Could happiness be a lot easier than we’re making it?
