We are all energetic beings. We are constantly sending out signals, moods, energy, vibrations… whatever you want to call it. Whether this is science or woo-woo airy-fairy doesn’t really matter in the long run.
What you resist, persists.

In the 2001 movie “America’s Sweethearts,” Eddie (John Cusak) spends some time in a wellness center, recovering from the very public breakup of his celebrity marriage. Part of his program includes expressing gratitude: “I’m grateful for the earth… I’m grateful for the stars and the sky…” While the movie portrays his chanting of gratitude as a point of comic relief, there’s truth to the scenario.
