I’ve been hearing about the Law of Assumption for a while now, but, as usual, I arrived late to the party. Metaphorically speaking, of course. You know how it is—you hear about something, roll your eyes because it sounds like yet another buzzword, and move on. Except this one? It kept showing up. Like a persistent little whisper in the back of my mind. So I finally decided to dive in.
Spoiler alert: It’s not just a buzzword.
What Is the Law of Assumption?
Let’s start with the basics. The Law of Assumption is simple: whatever you assume to be true, becomes true. It’s like placing an order with the universe, but instead of begging or wishing, you act as if it’s already yours. Neville Goddard, the guy who popularized this concept, basically said your imagination is the ultimate creator. If you assume you’re wealthy, loved, successful—whatever it is—and genuinely live from that state of mind, the universe has no choice but to match your vibe.
Sounds too good to be true, right? I thought so too. Until I tried it.
Why the Law of Assumption Works (and Why It’s Not Just Woo-Woo)
Here’s the thing: your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. Crazy, right? When you vividly imagine something, your body and mind respond as if it’s happening. This is why athletes visualize winning games and why worrying about something that hasn’t happened can make you physically ill.
The Law of Assumption taps into this phenomenon. By assuming the reality you want, you’re essentially reprogramming your subconscious. And since your subconscious is the driver of your actions and decisions, your external world starts shifting to align with those assumptions. It’s not magic; it’s science—with a little sprinkle of magic on top.
How I’m Using the Law of Assumption
Confession time: I’ve been guilty of living in a state of doubt and lack. When my blog’s income started dwindling, I fell into the trap of assuming things would only get worse. Guess what? They did. Shocking, I know.
But here’s what I did differently once I embraced the Law of Assumption. Instead of focusing on the lack, I started assuming abundance. Every morning, I told myself, “This blog is thriving. I’m attracting the perfect readers who love what I share and click on every ad like it’s their job.” (Okay, maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.)
I started acting like my blog was already a success. I wrote with more confidence, updated old posts with a fresh perspective, and—here’s the kicker—I stopped obsessing over the numbers. And you know what? Things started to shift. Slowly, but noticeably.
Practical Steps to Use the Law of Assumption
If you’re ready to try this for yourself, here’s how to start:
- Get Clear on What You Want: Be specific. Instead of saying, “I want more money,” say, “I am financially secure and making $5,000 a month.”
- Visualize It: Spend a few minutes every day imagining what it feels like to already have what you want. Feel it in your bones.
- Act As If: Start living like your assumption is already true. What would you do if you were already successful, loved, or wealthy? Do those things.
- Let Go of the “How”: Your job is to assume the end result, not figure out every single step to get there. Trust that the universe (or your subconscious) will handle the details.
- Persist: This one’s important. Doubt will creep in. Old habits will try to pull you back. Keep assuming, even when it feels like nothing’s happening. Consistency is key.
What’s Happening Now
Since embracing the Law of Assumption, I’ve noticed a shift not just in my blog but in my mindset. I’m not stressing as much about what’s “wrong” because I’m too busy focusing on what’s going right. And that shift? It’s powerful.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to try something new, this is it. Assume the best, act as if, and watch how things start to align. And if nothing else, it’s a lot more fun than living in doubt.
