The above is my disagreement with LOA.
Your thoughts are your thoughts, they don't effect the manifestation of what you want. Consciousness is the creator and creation can't be seen with the mind because mind is part of that creation. Another way of saying it is the thoughts come too late to effect anything.
Some will argue that thoughts are the creator because they've seen correlations. Correlation does not imply causation.
Thinking about what you want won't hurt anything, it just adds to the thousands of thoughts per second that roll through the mind. You could say it just adds more junk to the creative space.
IMO, living in the present moment (which you mentioned), keeping your focus on what is, an quieting the mind will spark the fires of manifestation for your desires more than a busy, chatty mind using LOA will.
Do I think we have free will? I change my opinion on that month to month. Right now this is what I think: The I, my ego, doesn't have free will and it should stop trying to direct the manifestation of everything and just relax. The I that is my consciousness has free will, but it is way below my conscious awareness to really know.
