Clarity Through Contrast is a game in Law of Attraction Toolbox, a manifestation app, that turns what you do not want into a clear picture of what you do want. For each thing that bothers you, you write the unwanted side and immediately restate it as the wanted side. It is for anyone feeling frustrated, disappointed or overwhelmed.
What is Clarity Through Contrast?
Abraham-Hicks teaches that contrast is not a mistake. It is step one of every creation, because knowing what you do not want instantly clarifies what you do want. This process uses a worksheet-style layout, pairing each unwanted thing with its flip side, so the contrast becomes useful clarity instead of something to suppress. For background, see Who Is Abraham-Hicks? Core Teachings + 5 Practices.
What you can do with Clarity Through Contrast
- Optionally name the situation you are working on.
- Write as many pairs as you like: “What I don’t want” and “What I want instead”.
- Save the whole exercise and read it again later.
- Add more pairs to a saved exercise, or edit it.
How to do Clarity Through Contrast
- Open the Games tab and tap Clarity Through Contrast.
- Optionally type the situation in the field that reads “What’s the situation? (optional)”.
- In the first “Clarity Pair 1” card, write one thing you do not want under “What I don’t want”. The prompt reads “I don’t want…”.
- Right below it, under “What I want instead”, write the flip side. The prompt reads “I want instead…”.
- When both boxes in a pair are filled, a new pair appears automatically. Keep going until you have emptied out the contrast.
- Tap Save. A celebration screen appears when it is saved. Tap Clear if you want to start over; the app asks “Clear all entries?” first.
To save, you need at least one thing in a “What I don’t want” box. Otherwise the app shows “No Entries” and asks you to write at least one thing you don’t want before saving.
Example
Situation: “Work this week”. Pair 1: “I don’t want to feel buried in emails” becomes “I want a calm inbox I can clear in an hour”. Pair 2: “I don’t want to be interrupted all day” becomes “I want long stretches of focused time”. Pair 3: “I don’t want to dread Mondays” becomes “I want to start the week feeling ready”.
Tips
- Clarity Through Contrast works best from frustration, disappointment or overwhelm. You need just enough stability to name what is wrong.
- Once your list is done, put your attention on the “What I want instead” side only.
- If a want still feels out of reach, soften it. The app’s own tip says “I want to feel a little better about this” counts.
- Tap the note icon at the top right to jot a quick note without leaving the exercise.
Where your entries go
Each saved exercise goes to a list titled “Clarity Through Contrast”. Open it from My Journey and then Saved Entries. Rows show the situation name if you gave one, otherwise the date. Swipe to delete, or tap Edit at the top right of the list. Open an exercise to read your pairs; tap Edit to change the text, and use the plus button to add another pair.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a clarity through contrast worksheet in the app?
Yes. The Clarity Through Contrast game works like a worksheet: each pair has a “What I don’t want” box and a “What I want instead” box, and you can save the whole exercise.
How is Clarity Through Contrast different from Pivoting?
Pivoting is one turn: you state one unwanted thing and pivot to what you want. Clarity Through Contrast lets you build a list of pairs about one situation, so you end with a fuller picture of what you want.
Do I have to fill in the situation name?
No. The situation field is marked optional. Saved exercises without one are listed by date.
Can I add more pairs after saving?
Yes. Open the saved exercise from Saved Entries and tap the plus button to add another pair, then save your edits.
