I have Britney Spears song in my head right now! It totally pumps me up when I’m working out!
Ok, that’s not even the topic of this post though. But I thought it was fitting with the title!
I think most of us feel like we are beyond the basics of manifesting. You totally know and can recite the way that energy flows attention goes. Feeling good and visualizing are key factors in attaining your desires.
You have read the books and told all of your friends and you even post motivational quotes on Facebook just to make sure everyone knows that you’re spiritual and you “get it”. Maybe if you post enough of them, you’ll actually start to believe it deep down.
Yes, you have your doubts. Of course it feels like it could be real. It sounds exciting and other people seem to understand enough to get results. But as often as you listen to uplifting podcasts, read books about law of attraction, even pray and meditate, nothing really changes.
So you buy another book. Maybe that one will have the thing that will really make it happen. As you read it, you feel lit up just like you did before. Yes! Okay, this is it! This has to be it! This feels true, this feels good!
Months later, and you’re still single, broke, feel like shit, hate your boss, drive the beater.
Time for another book.
Sound familiar? Or was that just me?
I struggled for far too long like this. I read literally hundreds of amazing books. I attended several seminars and workshops that all taught me the same thing. I had no doubt that this reality could be mine. But I couldn’t understand why, after everything I knew and all the time I spent reading and learning, nothing shifted for me. Why me?! Why was everyone around me manifesting these lives that were brag-worthy and I would take more steps back than forward?
What I finally realized, after waaaaaaaay more time than was necessary, was that I, yes I, was the problem.
Well Duh! Now I see that. You probably could’ve told me that, right?
But until you see it for yourself, you’re blind to it.
So I’m passing my message on to you so that you don’t have to struggle waaaaaaay too long. You can change everything in your life just like that. **snapping fingers** Whatever isn’t working in your life can change almost overnight. And if it’s not, it is you, gorgeous soul, who needs to take a look within and discover where you can do a little work.
It isn’t enough to know this stuff. You could memorize every word on every page of every book. You could listen to Tony Robbins on repeat all day long. You could subscribe to every attraction-based podcast on this planet. But if you don’t apply what you learn and make it real in your life, good luck with everything but you’ll still stay as miserable and unhappy as you were before you started.
And actually even more miserable because now you actually KNOW what life is supposed to be like, and you still don’t have it.
How do I know if you’re miserable and unhappy? Well…..are you?
I know you are because you’re searching for a way to feel better. You’re sincerely craving more from life and desperate to finally see some sort of proof to hold onto so that things will become easier to believe in. That struggle hurts a bit.
So back to passing my message on to you. Here it is. You have to do the work, bitch! I love you with all my heart and I say it with so much love. You have to make it your sole priority daily to feel good. You have to stop looking at what doesn’t make you happy. You have to ignore your bank account if you want more than it now has. You have to feel complete and whole even if he hasn’t asked you out on a date yet. You have to start speaking in a way that supports your goals, your vision, your desires. You have to be thankful for what you have and content where you are as you totally expect everything you want to show up. You have to practice detachment and constantly watch and work on your vibration.
Especially in the beginning, it does feel like work. There are so many thoughts to watch! So many people driving you bat shit crazy! So many people to vent to your BFF about. It’s almost like a diet. You binge eat the weekend before you start your healthy eating. It’s just an excuse to do something that is out of alignment with your desires.
But honestly, YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT. You can have a life that is holy, happy, and hella rich! It’s all yours for the taking!! You have so much waiting for you that there’s no way you could even experience all the brilliance in this one lifetime. It would blow your mind if you knew what was waiting for you.
And you are so determined to focus on what you don’t want. You’re so damn determined to be right! Have you ever stopped to think that the life of your dreams is on the line? Do you really want to hold yourself back because you have a story to tell?
Think about that for a moment. Your lazy way of thinking and lack of dedication to making sure you stay connected to God, your Source of abundance, the giver of everything…Is it worth it? Is the trade off really worth it?
Because if you truly believe that you can have it all (and I believe you believe!) then why the hell wouldn’t you begin first thing in the morning and become ruthless until you go to sleep and commit, commit, commit! Remove yourself from negative conversations, replace the thoughts that don’t feel good, stay in gratitude.
Don’t even look at the things you can see as evidence of things working or not. As soon as you place your attention on what hasn’t shown up yet, you take yourself out of that creative vibration. Just stay firmly planted in the spiritual vibration and know that it’s already yours.
It doesn’t have to take you years like it did me. It can happen now! I hope it happens for you now! I know that it’s possible. Stay the course and see it though.
You know the funniest thing about it? It’s really only a commitment to be happy. And that’s all you really want anyway!
You can do it! I’m cheering you on and believing in you.
Now get to work!
