Diana Vickers - X Factor 2008

X Factor contestant, Diana Vickers has revealed how she turned to a self help book to help her deal with the loss of her pal Laura White from the competition.

MSN quote Diana as saying:

"I’m reading a book called The Secret and it’s all about positive thinking. It’s about saying if you want something so much you can’t say, I don’t want this to happen. I can’t be like ‘I don’t want to go home this week’ because I’m thinking negative thoughts.

"This is my little philosophy, it will happen because I’m thinking it. People are like magnets and will attract anything from the world around them. So I keep thinking ‘I want to stay this week, I want to stay’ and hopefully I will.

"Laura was reading it. She didn’t really live by it though! She was a bit of a worrier like me. She said, ‘I haven’t finished it yet but you should read it’."
