Attention Is Creation: Understanding the Spiritual Law That Expands What You Focus On, and Eliminates What You Don’t

Have you noticed that whatever you continuously observe, react to, feed, fight, fear, or obsess over becomes more rooted in your experience?

This isn’t coincidence. It is a spiritual and psychological pattern unfolding. The more you engage with something — emotionally, mentally, or energetically — the more real it becomes.

This is because of a profound spiritual law: where your attention goes, your energy flows, and what you energize expands.

And remember: energy doesn’t discriminate between what you “want” and what you “don’t want.” It only responds to focus.

To the universe, to your subconscious, and to your energetic field, focus is fuel. Whatever receives the most of it grows. This is why situations you struggle against often tighten their grip, while the ones you nurture begin to expand.

Think of Your Attention Like Sunlight. Whatever You Shine It On Grows.

For example, if you keep replaying a hurtful conversation, the hurt deepens. If you constantly think about how someone wronged you, the resentment multiplies.

And the reverse is equally true.

If you focus on healing, healing expands. If you focus on gratitude, reasons to be grateful multiply. And if you focus on your path, the path becomes clearer.

You can see this in everyday life. Imagine two people in similar circumstances — both dealing with financial pressure. One spends every day worrying, rehearsing worst-case scenarios, and talking about everything that feels overwhelming. The other spends time identifying opportunities, practicing calm, and focusing on solutions. The first person deepens their stress. The second strengthens their sense of agency. Same situation, vastly different internal realities.

In spirituality, we learn that you do not eliminate an unwanted situation by resisting it — you eliminate it by withdrawing the energy that sustains it.

Here’s an example to illustrate this: Imagine a person dealing with a colleague they dislike. Every day, they talk about them, complain about them, relive interactions, and expect the worst. The colleague becomes a main character in their emotional world, even when they are not physically present.

Now imagine another person dealing with the same type of colleague. They set boundaries, choose neutrality, limit mental engagement, and redirect their attention toward their work, goals, and their peace.

The first person energizes the problem, while the second starves it. Same situation, different outcomes.

Practical Ways To Make An Unwanted Situation Vanish From Your Life?

As I mentioned earlier, you do this by removing the energy that sustains it.

Here’s how:

1. Stop feeding it with attention.
Every time you talk about it, replay it, overanalyze it, or check on it, you give it energy.
Practice conscious non engagement. Detachment really is freedom.

2. Redirect your focus toward what you do want.
Your mind needs a new home for its attention. So choose peace, purpose, clarity, creativity, and healing.
This will weaken the old pattern and strengthen the new one.

3.Change the story you tell.
Shift your internal language from “This always happens to me” to “This situation is losing its power in my life.”
Language shapes energy.

4. Act like the version of you who is already free.
Your behavior teaches your energy what to believe.
So move with confidence, choose actions that support your growth, and step out of cycles that no longer reflect who you are becoming.

5. Create practical distance.
Sometimes the most spiritual act is a physical boundary such as blocking a number, stepping back, saying no, limiting exposure, or changing the environment.

When the energy source is removed, the situation begins to dissolve.
It loses momentum, loses relevance, and eventually loses access to your inner world. This is the power of energetic withdrawal.

And when you stop feeding what drains you, you create space for what uplifts you.

A Final Thought

Life will always offer distractions, challenges, and situations that ask for your attention. You are not required to give all of them your energy.

Your attention is sacred. It’s your creative power. If there’s something in your life that is draining your focus or pulling you away from who you are becoming… do not fight it, just simply stop feeding it.

Starve the distraction… feed your purpose… and watch how quickly your life begins to realign.
