This Is Why LOA Doesn’t Work For You

Does it seem like you’ve been trying to make LOA work for you, but the harder you try, the less it seems to be on your side?

Do you wish that it would just be as easy as everyone is making it look to manifest the “more” that you deeply want to experience in this lifetime?

It’s frustrating as hell to watch people who have been at this whole “manifesting” thing for way less time manifest on demand as if they have a magic wand while you still struggle to see any type of result in your life.

But you know you’re never going to give up until one day it takes, because you KNOW like you know like you know it will be worth it once it finally clicks into place!

So let me help you along in your journey, as a recovering LOA junkie trying desperately to make life look and feel the way I wanted to, but struggling for years to see much in my world change for the good.

The biggest realizations that I had that changed everything immediately for me was that:

I was waiting for something to happen; a result in my world to change as evidence that what I wanted was available. And I would only have permission to feel wealthy, abundant, and even happy if I received that thing.

My mission in using LOA, if I was being honest, was to “get” stuff. It was an outside-in approach.

I was living from eyesight (what my eyes could see) and what my 5 senses told me was real instead of living from insight (what my Soul knew to be true) and took action from my limitations.

I was trying to make something happen, instead of cultivating the energy to welcome what was already here in the invisible to make it visible.

The truth is, if you’re waiting for something to happen, or trying to make it happen, you’re going to be waiting a veeeerrrryyy long time. It’s like staring at yourself in the mirror and waiting to see your reflection smile. It’s not going to happen until you do it first. YOU have to be the cause of your desires manifesting.

If you are trying to “get” anything, the message you’re sending out to the universe is “I don’t have it yet!” And as much as it might appear to be the case, you actually possess everything you desire within your consciousness. It’s waiting to be let out! So next time you’re thinking about what you want to get, shift your thinking to how can I let those qualities out of me into the world.

And if you’re living from what your senses tell you are true, you’re always going to be a step behind and it will feel like you’re living every day on repeat.

Why?

What you’re living in the physical is just a representation of your past beliefs and thoughts. So if you only believe in what you can see, you’ll never be able to live from the vision that is in your heart and Soul.

My whole life is mostly spent in a fantasy land where very little of what’s in front of me is even acknowledged. I love my life and I have so much fun watching everything unfold, but I return back to my inner state quickly so that I can expand and open up to even more.

This is what it looks like to live as a visionary! And this is where all the magic happens!

The Myth About Ease and Flow Busted!

There’s a lot of talk in the spiritual entrepreneurial world about ease and flow.

And rightfully so!  It is time that there be more conversation around life working from a place of intuition, inspiration, and Soul-guidance.

The only way (imho) to really be successful in every sense of the word is to stop pushing so hard and allow a supernatural power to take over for you.

When you surrender control and allow the Universe to direct your moves, words, and thoughts, you become charged with an energy that makes you super productive and efficient as hell.

When I’m speaking or writing from ease and flow, every single word comes out so easily.  It’s as if (and actually, more literally than “as if”) I’m being taken over and used as a channel for a message that wants to be shared through me.

And when I’m not in that state of ease and flow, it takes me way more time to eek something out, and it is never, ever as “good”.

But the truth about ease and flow is that it isn’t always easy.

You’d be wrong if you thought that people who work from this state always have things turn out the way they expected to.  They fail, fear, and feel “off” sometimes too.

They are faced with really scary decisions that are uncomfortable…They are challenged to grow and expand by taking actions that scare the ever-loving shit out of them too.

It’s just that at a certain point, they learn how to choose faith over fear.

They just choose to say yes to their yes because it feels good and everything always turns out right (even when, in the moment, it might appear to be working exactly the opposite!)

Do you see the difference?

Flow and ease doesn’t mean living a cake-walk life.

It simply means that the challenges are a welcome opportunity to surrender to God.

It means being available as a channel for miracles to be worked through knowing that you’ll be on purpose and thus supported by the Universe.

It does NOT mean never being uncomfortable.

And it does NOT mean you don’t have to show up and do the work.

But it DOES mean that the work feels more rewarding.

Like, even now as I’m typing these words, I feel in such a state of flow that my body tingles and I’m filled with energy.  So much energy that I can’t type fast enough because I feel like I’m going to climb out of my skin.  (Expansion often feels like this btw, different convo for a different day, but if you’ve ever experienced it, you know what I mean!)

Something greater than me is taking over and speaking through me.  At almost 11pm when I actually intended to do a little bit of business training for myself, this message needed to be spoken so here I am.

See?  I’m doing “work”…I’m showing up!  It’s not like there’s nothing to do.  It’s just that the work assignment comes from God and calls for you.  Versus the alternative which is taking action from a space of needing to get a particular outcome and forcing it out of you.

I’ve done both.  I wish I could say that I’m constantly in a state of flow.

But my ego loves to think that control is a better option.

“What if you just completely stop caring about things and turn into a lazy bum?!”

“You NEED to get this done, or else you won’t (fill in the blank–have enough money, get more clients, be visible online….)

Working from force is ego-driven and is filled with lack-energy.

You’re cutting off your real source of power because of yourself, there really is nothing you can do.

Your fearful, small self isn’t capable of being inspired.

Inspiration comes from Spirit (the antithesis of fear).

So, what do you want?  How do you want to feel?  What idea, message, or action really turns you on and excites you?

How can you bring more of that into the world?  Or more accurately, how can you LET more of that out of you as a channel for the Divine?

What are you saying “yes!” to?

That.

Yes, that.

That is your ease.  That is your flow.

Can you feel it?

That is what you want to act on.  Even and especially when it feels scary.  Even if you don’t exactly know how.  Even if you’re afraid of how it’s going to turn out.  Even if you’re afraid you might fail.  Even if you’re afraid of being judged.

Those things don’t go away when ease and flow are present.

It’s just that ease and flow give you a whole lot more motivation to actually be stronger than your fear.

I love you!

 

 

How to Find the Courage to Get Yourself Unstuck!

Getting unstuck takes courage.  Don’t think for a minute that opening up to a bigger life is an easy path.

You’ve been misled to believe that if things get uncomfortable then it wasn’t meant to be, and so you sit and wait until you feel ready for the next move.  But waiting just gives you more time to wait.

If you want to live a bigger life, and expand into a bigger, more capable, happier version of yourself, you’re going to have to get uncomfortable (usually very uncomfortable) first.

Stepping into unknown territory is downright frightening, at least to your ego.  If the scenery isn’t familiar, you’re guaranteed to have a voice in your head that says what you’re doing is irresponsible, frivolous, or stupid.

It will tell you that things aren’t going to work out.  You’ll be sorry you made a mistake.  You should just play it safe.

This voice isn’t good or bad.  It’s just a program that needs your recognition, love, and acceptance.

So don’t “kick fear in the face”….I think people are too quick to want to get rid of the fear.  But the fear isn’t going to run if you fight it.  It will fight back.  The harder you push, the stronger it pushes back.

Not a fight I want to get into, you?

Ok.  So let’s try something different….something more empowering….something that will help you to transform fear into love and possibility.

What if you could just witness the story that was creating the feelings of fear?  What if you got brave enough to listen without buying into the story but bringing all of it to the surface so that it can release and move like it wants to?

Something I constantly remind myself is that I don’t have to do this work by myself.  When I feel like I have to do it all on my own, I feel stressed out, overwhelmed, and afraid that I’m not doing enough, and that nothing is going to work.  (More mind chatter to love, accept, release!)

But when I drop down into my heart and I allow my heart to do my thinking for me, I am always reminded that there is a solution to every problem that exists in the mind of God.

A Course In Miracles teaches that as soon as we detoured into the illusion of fear, God created the Holy Spirit to guide us back to love as soon as we decide to, because God corrects all mistakes the minute they happen.

But it is always a choice, because we have free will.

You can choose to fixate on your fears, or ask for the Holy Spirit to change your mind.

That’s really a big shift.

We are really quick to ask God to chance our circumstances, but what we really need is a shift in perception.

Because the way we perceive things in our lives becomes our reality.

So in order to change your reality, the quick path to being more available to receive what you want is to see things differently.

Are you more interested in what has already appeared in your physical reality?  Do you let your reality dictate what you believe is possible and available?

What you focus on expands!

So if you’re focused on the manifested reality, that’s what you experience more of.

If you want to create miracles and live a life beyond your wildest dreams, you have to have the courage to step out of the confines of this 3D world (of form) and expand your awareness to include what’s really real (5D).

Love is real.  Wealth and abundance is real.  Joy is real.  Peace is real.  Creativity is real.  Intelligence is real.  Satisfaction is real.  LIFE is real.

Anything else is just a figment of your imagination, created by your mind.  And that might feel intimidating, but when you realize that since you created it, you can un-create it, now you have your power back.

I’m not saying that you should deny your present reality.  What has already manifested has already manifested.  What hasn’t yet manifested hasn’t yet manifested.  But once you acknowledge where you are and accept this present moment, now you can choose to create something new.

So this is where the courage comes in.

It takes massive courage to believe in something you can’t see.

It takes MASSIVE courage to look beyond what you see and experience now and believe in something different.

It takes MASSIVE COURAGE to take faithful steps of action that defy all odds without any guarantee that it will work out the way you want it to.

But if you want something different (and better), this is the work.

So are you willing?

Are you willing to say yes to your yes even when you don’t feel capable in the moment?

Are you willing to take a step into the unknown where you will be met by God’s outstretched hand to support your soul’s life vision?

And are you willing to continuously do the work over and over again until it sticks?

This is how you get unstuck!  YOU get yourself unstuck….by changing your perceptions, thinking differently, taking scary actions, and then cleaning up the messes as you go along!

You have to accept that the process is going to be messy.

You have to be okay knowing that you will fail, fall, get up, stumble, fail, dust yourself off, fail again.

Nobody ever expected the baby to master walking before she was ready, right?  We just helped her along the way and celebrated every tiny achievement (and didn’t even consider beating her up emotionally when she hit the floor!)

Courage means supporting yourself and being your biggest fan even when nobody else is looking or nobody else cares.

And isn’t that where we all usually drop the ball?

We feel like we should be further than we are right now.

We are afraid that we won’t be enough.

We worry that we are going to make a big mistake.  (And you will!  But it’s totally okay.  God never holds those kinds of things against you, and He helps you course correct along the way.)

Progress happens in your life when you begin to transform your mind.

Take faithful and courageous steps from an empowered place, and go within to reset your emotions when you feel off, and then do it all over again.

Shift, act, shift, act.

That’s really it.

There’s nothing very complicated about it.  Just requires commitment, faith, and a desire that is worth it.

P.S.  I have a few spots for a free strategy session with me to identify why you’re stuck, and show you on the call how to get unstuck!  Book your free call here!  (Limited to 10 people.  This link will not work when the limit has been reached.)

 

Just because something feels real and true, and you can give a million reasons why you have all the evidence to back it up, doesn’t make it Real.

And if you don’t like it, you have every reason to shift your thoughts so that they support you instead of keeping you stuck.

I recently uncovered a limiting belief that I had no idea was running in the background of my mind.  When I recognized it, I immediately used it to uncover what is Real so that I could re-engage my power and expand what was possible for me.

In conversation, my mentor said, “I learn really fast!”  She said it with absolute certainty and authority.

I immediately realized that I had a belief that it took me a long time to really internalize something.  And the habits that supported that belief were not effective.  I would read sentences over and over again, and return back to lessons to listen to the words again to make sure I had it down.

Shifting a belief can be as easy as just deciding that you choose something different from this point forward!

So here are 3 declarations that will give you the power to speed up the time it takes you to learn and apply.

  • I learn super fast!
  • I internalize and implement what I learn immediately.
  • I have quantum shifts daily that impact my life dramatically and positively.

Can you feel how powerful these simple statements are?

Try them and tweak them to fit your own style.  And let me know how they work for you!

3 Of My Favorite Mind-Shifting Practices To Help You Change Your Beliefs

The world you see is a direct reflection of the thoughts you think.  As Wayne Dyer is so often quoted, “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life!”

I’m not telling you anything new.

But isn’t it frustrating as hell when you KNOW that your thoughts are limiting your ability to live a life that sets you on fire, but you can’t, to save your life, actually shift into a more empowering belief system?

Here’s what didn’t work for me:

“Just chant new affirmations!”  Well I don’t know about you, but that just felt like a big tug-of-war between my old mind and new.  I never really got anywhere just affirming something I didn’t deep down believe.  The idea is nice, but who’s getting that shit to work??

“Envision the life you want!”  Truth be told, visualization from the perspective of trying to change a belief just made me feel like shit.  I was envisioning the life I wanted, but didn’t have.  Not fun.

“Create a vision board!”  For me this was just another form of visualizing and reminding me of how far I had to go before I was living it up!

The popular ways of manifesting just didn’t work for me.  And I gave it my best effort!  I studied manifesting for over 10 years like a Jedi, no joke, with very little to show for it.

After that decade was almost over, I decided I didn’t want another 10 years to go by with me trying so damn hard and still feeling like a complete failure.

So I decided to search for another way.

Which is, of course, what I found…and I’m going to give you my 3 favorite mindset-shifting practices to help you permanently change your beliefs!  (You’re welcome)

  1.  Ask Effective Questions:  Your mind loves to search for the answers to your questions.  The problem is that we often ask the wrong kind of questions.  Usually we are feeding our minds questions that lead us to receive disempowering answers.  Like, “How could I be so stupid?!”  Well, ok…here’s how…

    Effective questions lead to answers that make you feel better.  So if you’re feeling unworthy, incompetent, or not good enough, an effective question would be, “What does it feel like to know 100% that I’m worthy?”  “How competent does the Universe think I am?”  “What if I just knew that I was more than good enough?”

    The trick is to ask the question, and then just leave it alone.  Your mind will go on a hunt to find the answer, and when you design the question to give you the most empowering answer, you’ll start to see things from a different perspective.

  2. Simply release:  This shifter might sound over-simplified, but often shifting a belief really is as easy as releasing the belief that no longer serves you.  Once you become consciously aware of a limiting belief, just try, in that moment, to release it.  You might need to release several times before it’s gone for good, but it is time well-spent!  Once you release a pattern of thinking that doesn’t work for you, you allow a higher level of truth to take its place.
  3. Model others:  This is one of my favorite mindset shifters.  It stems from the understanding that from a spiritual perspective, we are all one.  So what someone else has within them also exists within you.  A talent, belief, ability, thought system, way of being…all of these things are available to everyone if they are available to anyone.

    If you feel challenged by simply releasing a belief (shifter #2), step into the mind of someone else who already has the opposite belief (or a belief you want to emulate) and feel what it feels like to think from that perspective.  When I was struggling to allow myself to receive a certain amount of money because it felt selfish and undeserving, I tuned into the frequency of a millionaire mentor of mine who had already embodied the energy of “it just comes to me with ease!” and felt what it was like to be her.  When you do this, YOU actually experience the emotions.  And EMOTION is what wires in those new beliefs!

There you have it!  3 very easy ways to help you get your mind straight and working on your side instead of against you!

Let me know which one is your favorite!
