Pivoting is a game in Law of Attraction Toolbox, a manifestation app, built around one question: “So what do I want instead?” You say what is bothering you plainly, then turn it around into what you would rather have. It is for the moments when you notice you are focused on something unwanted.
What is the Abraham Hicks pivoting process?
In Abraham-Hicks teaching, every subject is really two subjects: what is wanted, and the lack of it. Pivoting is the deliberate turn from one to the other. It is lighter than a focus wheel, because it is one turn rather than a full wheel, so it is useful when a bigger stretch is not possible yet. The power is in making the turn on purpose instead of staying pointed at the problem. For a fuller picture of the teachings, read Who Is Abraham-Hicks? Core Teachings + 5 Practices.
What you can do with Pivoting
- Name what you do not want in a line or two.
- Tap Pivot and state what you want instead, in the present, in your own words.
- Save each pivot and look back at a list of desires that began as complaints.
How to pivot in the app
- Open the Games tab and tap Pivoting.
- Under “What don’t you want?”, write it plainly. The prompt reads “I don’t want…”.
- Tap Pivot. If the box is empty, the app says “Write down what you don’t want before pivoting.”
- The screen changes to “So what DO you want instead?” Your first answer stays visible, dimmed, under “What you don’t want”.
- Write the other side of it as a desire, in the present. The prompt reads “I want…”.
- Tap Save. A celebration screen appears. Tap Back first if you want to reword the unwanted side.
Example
Step one: “I don’t want to keep feeling behind on money.” Tap Pivot. Step two: “I want to feel steady and in control of my money.” Save it. Later, open Saved Entries and you will see a growing list of wanted statements, each one born from a complaint.
Tips
- Pivoting works well from anger, blame, discouragement, disappointment and frustration. You only need enough clarity to name what is wrong.
- Do not worry if the wanted statement does not feel fully believable yet. The pivot is about direction, not arrival.
- If even naming the unwanted feels like too much, the app suggests quieting your mind with a meditation first.
- Tap the note icon at the top right to capture a quick thought.
- Keep the unwanted side short and honest. A line or two is enough, and the screen reminds you that naming it shows you exactly what you do want.
Where your entries go
Saved pivots are listed under “Pivoting” in My Journey and then Saved Entries. Each row shows what you wanted and the date. Swipe to delete, or tap Edit at the top right. Open a pivot to see “What I didn’t want” and “What I want instead”, and tap Edit to change the text.
