Of all the issues we have with strengthening our manifesting mojo, a lack of trust is basically at the root of it all when you really think about it.
We read about LOA and something just resonates..we think there is something to it. We start doing our work, and manifestations are popping up in all areas of our life. This ‘proof’ makes us believe even more, but there may be certain areas of our life where the more’negative’ energies are really strong, and things aren’t moving as swimmingly as we would like them.
There are certain things we want that are super-important to us, and this makes it hard to just sit back and relax. We may have allowed ourselves to want things that we never would have, before having a better understanding of the attraction process. Now that those floodgates have opened, the thought of not getting them can really throw us for a loop.
The old paradigm of taking control, making things happen, suffering through hard, unpleasant work to reap reward and ‘figuring it out,’ is pretty deeply ingrained, and overcoming that conditioning takes a bit of mental effort. We have lots of limiting beliefs, and are relying far too heavily on our past experiences, and current reality, in determining what might be possible for us.
We so want to fully surrender, and truly step into that feeling that everything we want is ours for the taking, and no matter what happens, we are always moving towards it. You may have actually achieved this state of pure trust for a few precious moments, and it is absolutely divine. But, then it quickly dissipates. That’s okay if you are not in this space every second. I don’t know if there is anyone who has reached that level of clearing out all doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. Though it would be absolutely amazing, right?
This whole attracting thing is a process..as your awareness expands, your attitude shifts and empowering beliefs become more dominant, your experience will start to improve. You will let in more and more. In theory, you can go from totally being unaware to all of this to master manifestor in one leap, but anyone capable of making such a leap would probably already be living at their max potential.
Will you begin attracting the highest possibilities for yourself right off the bat? Probably not, and that’s okay. Will you be able to cultivate the highest opinion of yourself and your abilities within your first week of studying conscious creation? Unlikely, and it’s fine.
For someone who is just starting her personal development blog, she may not be at a space where she can truly see herself as the next Louise Hay. For someone who is just starting out their home based business, and doesn’t know a thing, he probably can’t imagine becoming a well-known name in the field, getting top dollar for his programs and consulting services.
Think about all the great things you attracted into your life before you were aware of something like law of attraction. You had a vibration that was a mix of positive and negative beliefs. There is a good chance you did not do anything specific, set any specific intentions or gave much thought to this stuff before it showed up—it just did because you were a match to it.
This means you don’t have to achieve some state of perfection to get the things you want. Now that you are deliberately working on your energy, and taking an active role in shaping your experience, imagine all the great things you can create? You may need to do some work on your belief system, and practice a bit on focusing more positively. One of the things you will likely have to do some work on is cultivating that trust. When that grows, it is like a ripple effect that spreads to whatever else you may be doing to make these internal shifts.
Here are a few tips for building the trust crucial to the process of attraction, and creating our most desired realities with the greatest ease possible.
Wrap Your Mind in a Cocoon of Positivity to the Best of Your Ability
One of the reasons building this trust is so hard ,is all the information you have taken in over the years, that flies in the face of this whole concept. Your subconscious has bagged and tagged every experience, memory, thought and piece of information you have had your entire life. While you have likely formed many positive beliefs as a result of this mish mash, there are plenty that are pretty negative. Not all of them are absolutely horrible, but have certainly contributed to living small, not expecting much from life, creating a very limited view of yourself, and what is possible, and not having very much enthusiasm for human experience.
Because we have lacked a strong degree of awareness this whole time, we have no idea the full extent of the various outside influences in shaping our belief system, and how we regard ourselves. We haven’t a clue none of this crap actually belongs to us, and it was implanted. After all this time, it certainly feels like ours, but we can return to sender anytime. All of this ‘stuff’ influenced our external experience, and we wrongly take this as ‘proof’ what we believe is indisputable fact. We have no shortage of evidence in our own lives, and in that of countless others.
Being more cognizant of what we expose ourselves to is important on many levels, and it is one of the most powerful tools for strengthening trust. We can’t build trust in a concept if we are constantly letting in all manner of things that make it hard for us to buy into said concept.
On one hand, attraction is a very simple process—the Universe wants to give us all the stuff we want, as quickly as we can let it in. It is not expecting us to jump through hoops, and work hard to prove we really want it or are worthy. Our mere existence entitles us to all the awesomeness available to us and we just have to claim it.
But, on the other hand, it can be complex because of all the conditioning that has put us out of touch with our ability to manifest, and that powerful creator within. Just getting LOA in theory is a great start, but we need it to permeate our being on the deepest level, where we KNOW and FEEL the truth on a grander scale . Your mind is not readily going to accept these concepts, and just abandon all it has believed to be true for so long.
So, there is going to have to be some deliberate effort on our parts to make the internal shifts. This work doesn’t have to be hard or painful, but it has to have some degree of consistency. We have to take stock of our current situation, and see where we may be dropping the ball attraction- wise. And one of the biggest issues is what we are exposing ourselves to, what we are letting in.
If you are serious about improving your life through applying the principles of attraction, then you need to protect your mind and your feelings fiercely. Stop talking about your financial problems, and steer conversations with others into a different direction as best you can; avoid the discussions about how your country is going to hell in a handbasket; don’t get sucked into conversations with all your single girlfriends about how all men suck and how hard it is to meet people; stop consuming the news in any form—don’t worry, if there is something really important that is going to affect you, you’ll hear about it. Right now your vibration is too fragile to be dealing with such negativity on a daily basis.
And avoiding the negative stuff is not enough—it is a great start, but you also need to feed your mind things that will help you start feeling better and more optimistic. Information that will challenge your current way of thinking, and convince you it is nothing more than an opinion, a really crappy one at that. Don’t go on an information binge, just consuming, without application and reflection. Find a few books, blogs or whatever that really resonate, and study them. Apply the tips, digest the information. If you really want to give yourself a fighting chance, you need to be the bodyguard of your mind, and only grant admission to things that will support your efforts.
Setting Specific Intentions is Fine,But Work on Feeling Good Overall
This is a piece of advice you have seen dispensed here many a time. In fact, many things I talk about in one particular post have often been referenced in some other context. There are two reasons for this. First, the core elements of successful attraction are actually few, but have various nuances that apply to different aspects of the process. Second, repetition of the information is important for really buying into it, and edging out all the crap.
The core reason for feeling good just for the sake of it, and to not always be focusing on attracting specific things, is because we attract based on what we feel. When our vibration is higher, and we are feeling better, lots of great stuff that matches this higher vibration will make its way in ,without us having put any specific effort towards these manifestations.
This worthwhile endeavor is also beneficial for strengthening trust. First, the better we feel overall, the more receptive we are to the materials discussing Law of Attraction, and other ideas that support the belief we can have good things, actually deserve good things, can create whatever we want, and can be happy, like truly happy.
From this higher-vibing space, we resonate more with this information, and we are in closer proximity to the big us, our higher self, that has always known these simple, yet powerful truths. God, what our higher selves must think as they watch us fumble through this existence, suffering needlessly! As loving and perfect as they are, there must be times they just want to slap us in the face, and be like..WHAT is wrong with you people?
Second, as it was mentioned above, feeling better overall raises our vibration, which is where attraction is at. As that raises, our outside experiences improves, and we let in all sorts of wonderful. The more we attract, the more we begin to believe LOA is real. And the more we believe it is real, the easier it is to trust we are taken care of, there is some force out there orchestrating all of this in a way we can’t possibly fully understand and don’t need to, and what we want will be delivered to us at the perfect time.
The process of attracting something is the same no matter what area of our life, no matter how big or small the thing. When we start seeing stuff actually happen, no matter what the manifestation, our belief that this same awesomeness can be put into process for the things that we really want, that are really important to us, grows and solidifies.
While we are technically not supposed to rely on outside appearances to bolster our faith, let’s face it…we have our doubts, and it makes us feel all happy and relieved, when we see something that helps us believe. It’s okay.
So, if you have set some specific intentions, and you have your vision boards, do your visualizing, affirm, and whatever, it’s all good. So long as that stuff actually helps you raise your energy and bolster your belief what you want is coming, keep at it.
But, don’t forget to focus on feeling good overall, and doing things that make you happy, well, just because they make you happy. The Universe and your higher self know what you want,and they really don’t need your conscious participation at all actually. But most of us aren’t vibing so high we can totally release and get out of the way. It is what it is.
The order won’t get lost. The Universe won’t conclude you don’t want the things you want, if you start enjoying your life now without them, or you aren’t thinking about them every second. As far as acquiring something through the means of conscious creation, we get the goods based on what we feel and believe, not the exact amount of effort we are putting into aligning ourselves, or how much we think about what we want.
So, if something makes you feel good, it is worth your time. Don’t dismiss any activity because it doesn’t seem like you are ‘working’ on yourself, or it appears to be frivolous. The more frivolous the better, in most cases.
Note the Signposts that Show You are Going in the Right Direction
Some manifestations fall right into our lap, in their full glory. Then there are some that unfold over a longer period of time. This might be for a number of reasons. Perhaps we are not quite a match for what we want at the moment, and we need to do a bit of work on our mindset and feelings. Or maybe we are not fully ready for a lot of change all at once, even if we consciously want it,and things are going to come in bits and pieces—the Universe and our higher selves are absolutely perfect in orchestrating things for our greatest benefit. Again, they really don’t need us. In fact, most of the time we are just getting in the way. This is something we may never fully realize, myself included!
So, because we might not get something in full form right away, but we are aligning with it, we will experience things that demonstrate our energy is shifting and we are lining up with what we want.
You are a blogger who wants to be more successful in selling your products, and you find an increase in traffic, and comments, after seemingly no action for a long time. Don’t dismiss this because you are still not getting sales or clients. They’re coming, so long as you don’t crap all over these signposts, and note that what you want is still not here yet.
You want to find a boyfriend, and find yourself coming into contact with more men who seem like a great match—you are having those great conversations you imagine having with your man. You feel more at ease and confident around men than you ever have. Don’t get all discouraged when you leave the bar without anyone having asked for your number. Hie is coming as long as you don’t crap all over these signposts, and note that the person you want is still not here yet.
These things are not coincidences. They are manifestations that show you are on the right track. Don’t dismiss them because they don’t seem important, or because they are not the actual manifestation. It is easy to get so fixated on what we want, that we totally dismiss all the signs that it is on its way.
When you see these manifestations for what they really represent, that trust will get stronger and stronger.
In Closing….
God, wouldn’t it be great if we could just totally buy into this LOA thing full bore instantly? How amazing would that be? Being constantly assaulted by awesomeness, while doing almost nothing to get it, except the things that feel really good to us. Never dealing with the icky doubt, or having to step into our crappy beliefs to own and finally release them? Yes please.
Technically, it is totally possible. But, an unlikely scenario. It will resonate for sure, and we’ll know there is truth to LOA. But, the mind is resistant to change. You have believed the things you have believed for so long, you are not just going to drop them like a hot potato.
But, with that being said, making this shift doesn’t have to be super-painful and drag on for years and years. It is important to also realize this shift does not have to be some 180 where you go from where you are now, riddled with limiting beliefs, to some master where you don’t have a single one. It is all about what is predominant…you just have to get work on getting to a 51/49 mix. Lots of good things will start happening, and that 51 percent will grow.
You may find you have an easier time cultivating this trust in certain areas of your life than others. It will probably be more challenging to build this trust when it comes to the things that are really important and you really want, like turning your passion into a profitable business ,or finding a person with which to start a family,when your biological clock is ticking so loudly you think you may go deaf.
As your faith in LOA grows, you will allow yourself to want bigger and better things, and you will run into new layers of resistance that were not activated by previous, ‘smaller’ desires. You will get mad at yourself for feeling the doubt and fear, but it is natural. You’ll note what is coming up, and you’ll find a way to deal with it. As you grow and evolve, you may find yourself wanting things you may not have wanted before, and you are treading into all new territory, and stuff will probably come up.
Make peace with this process—there is always going to be new things you want to create, and you’ll likely have to do some inner work to let them in, but you don’t have to suffer. It is just all part of this glorious game.
If you really apply the three tips I gave here, I guarantee your trust will increase, and the more we trust, the easier and more joyful the ride gets.
Your Turn…

Hey Kelli,
It’s funny that you wrote about this because I was kind of struggling with this a couple of weeks ago. Something that I really wanted was finally coming together but because it didn’t happen the way I expected I kept waiting for something to happen to ruin it all.
It was like I couldn’t just trust the process and everything going on. I was appreciative but just wouldn’t allow myself to get too comfortable. I finally found a way to trust in not only it but the future. Looking back on positive things and how things have manifested and stabilized in the past helped solidify my trust.
~Lea
Hey Lea
Thanks for sharing your experience. We all struggle with the trust to some degree–to fully believe 1,000 percent would probably mean dropping every limiting belief we have. But, the trust grows over time. IT can also be hard to trust when it comes to things that are really important to us…we are so emotionally invested, it can be hard to just relax about it, or not try and control things. Looking back on past situations where things came together for us is a really, really good thing, and one of my most common recommendations for people who are struggling a bit with the things they want to manifest. When we can remember the times it has worked in the past, it bolsters our faith it will happen again!
When I saw this title in my email, I almost cried! This post could not have come at a more perfect time!
After the AMAZING Christmas holiday I had and then the “rug being ripped from under me” so to speak, I have been having a hard time building my trust again. I’m a little afraid that if I get too many good things coming to me, I’m just going to be disappointed again – not just knocked down, I mean knocked down, stomped on and maybe even stabbed just for good measure. But I have been asking myself how I can open myself up to trust again and I have been getting little “hints” all day long. I want to trust because I KNOW that LOA works.
I didn’t know about the call until today. I will definitely sign up for that. I think by Monday, I will be more than ready for a big ol’ energy boost. Thank you so much for this post! 🙂
Hey Summer
I am so glad that the post was helpful and really resonated for your current situation. It is interesting what you said about worrying about good coming to you because that might lead to unwanted things happening. I think on some level, many of us believe that there has to be some sort of balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ things–we will all certainly have a mix of both in our experience, but like there is some larger force at work causing it. Not sure if that resonates with you or not..I know that at one point, I discovered that there was a part of me that maybe thought that was true. Having followed your experience in your comments, I can tell you have been having a lot happen on both ends of the spectrum. To be, this represents a lot of energy moving, and while it might be uncomfortable at times, or downright suck–let’s be honest–ultimately, it means bigger and better things vibration-wise. I have experienced some of that over the last few months, and the end result has been leveling up for sure.
Hi Kelli! I’ve been following you for the past few weeks. And I really resonate with this posting. And it’s really nice of you to reply every comment and be compassionate with us! 🙂
Career wise, I’m quite satisfied with my current job. I love my job and coworkers. They are awesome! But when it comes to love, I think I make lots of mistakes especially because of my fear. When I see bread crumbs, I get frustrated a lot more when it comes to love.
But I can’t seem to fully understand that attracting a relationship and attracting a banana are pretty much the same in LOA perspective!! I’ve seen some proofs in my life but still can’t fully accept it.
So yesterday, I was upset and decided to test LOA. I imagined and tried to feel, test the imaginary banana. And while I was surfing the net, I saw a big picture of banana when I didn’t expect it to come LOA
Is it true that attracting banana and attracting relationships could be the same? And is it normal to make a lot of mistakes and struggle with not being able to fully understand LOA along the way?
Hi Jamie
Thank you so much..so glad you are liking the blog. That resonating is really important when it comes to choosing the sources of information for furthering our understanding of a certain topic. It means that this source is beneficial for us personally and will offer what we need in this moment.
Your experience is very common..we are often better at manifesting in certain areas than others, or feel more attached to certain types of manifestations. Relationships and money are two of the biggest problem areas because there is a lot of emotional charge around these subjects, and we may have had a lot of negative experiences that make it hard to believe things can be just as we like them.
It can be hard to grasp that the process of attraction works the same for everything, but it really does. What makes certain manifestations seem harder is having a lot of limiting beliefs, fears,etc… It is easier to manifest things where we don’t have a strong attachment to the outcome, or it is something we don’t feel is central to our happiness. You are not alone in not being able to fully accept it…I doubt there are many people who trust with every fiber in their being. But, as the trust grows, you will see more manifestations, and you will have greater faith that you can manifest bigger things or things that you think you probably can’t have now. It is totally normal to struggle–it is not easy to totally drop our old beliefs and ways of being and just start believing something else with all our hearts instantly. Just keep learning, keep paying attention to the signs, and most importantly, remember that no matter what happens, it is there to help you on your journey. When you can remember that, you will be able to maintain a more stable vibration and keep up the trust factor.
Hi Kelli,
This wonderful post could re an ebook. I loved reading it and had to read it a few times because there is so much information in the article.
As far as I see it, LOA is a way of life. It is not just a quick fix with a thought and a wish. Many people have difficulty with it because they are unable to remove the negativity from their lives. And, interestingly, negativity dominates in most people lives, even when they are not really aware of it.
When I first came upon LOA some time ago, I was surprised at my own negativity, I did not even realize I was projecting.
You are so right, it takes patience and even practice to “get it right”. But once you get rid of the negativity and replace it with positive thought a whole new world opens up for you.
Hi Dana
Thanks so much for your comment. I am so glad you liked it. I do lean towards longer posts because I feel there is so much ‘nuance’ to the attraction process that can help people understand it better, and have more to ‘chew on’ in terms of applying it to their own life. Our mind wants to participate, and we need to engage in various strategies to get it on board so we can really recondition. You are so right about it being a way of life…we attract based on what we are, and simply saying we want something will not be enough to make it happen if we are not a match to it. This doesnt necessarily take a lot of work, but there is a bit involved because of our current belief system not supporting this type of reality.
I think a lot of us discover how negative we are…not like being miserable people or anything, but simply believing lots of things that really don’t support being happy.
Thanks so much for your insights..hope to see you around here more!
The title sounds so familiar and I think that I embody #1 pretty well 😉 Where did you get that title? You’re creative. Awesome post, awesome points. As you can sometimes painfully attest to I’m big on 1. I give my first hour daily to the Universe – my Power Hour – and things get less and less serious in my life as I become more wrapped up in a cocoon of positive-ness. Thanks KC well said for the Trust Train crew!
Ryan
Yeah..I kind of stole the whole ‘trust train’ thing..forgot to give you credit. Yeah, you do embody it quite well…I am a bit jealous sometimes! Whatever we can do to strengthen our mind on a regular basis, the easier it will be to really embody a conscious creator.
Trust is something I really have to work on every day. I think when you have been kicked around in life, trust doesn’t come easily. However, the universe is one thing you can trust 100%, because it is simply a reflection of what you are giving out. The challenge is, you can’t physically ‘see’ it, but it’s there, more surely than anything else in this life that you can see (but not necessarily trust).
I was going along lately feeling good about everything, then I decided to apply for jobs after a long time not working. I applied to two agencies, from whom I haven’t heard back yet – less than a day after I sent the resume, I found myself starting to freak out, first with little niggling thoughts….which led to thoughts like ‘what if no one will ever hire me ever again??” even though I feel pretty confident. I have to really remind myself that the universe is working not on finding me A job, but on finding me the PERFECT job (I am affirming that I will get a pretty amazing job every day) and that might take a little time. I do have to get my mind out of the way and let the universe do its job.
Hey Bunny
You are certainly not alone in that one…I don’t know if any ‘regular’ non-guru person has that trust 100 percent. We have just taken in too much
stuff that interferes with that ability. But, we can certainly cultivate a good deal of it, and create amazing changes. THe ‘good’ just has to outweigh the ‘bad’ and we can start getting results. That is a great point about being able to trust in the Universe because it is merely a reflection..that can solidify our ‘resolve’ because we know we are in control and we can get a more desirable ‘reflection’ with some mental work on our part.
I remember you mentioning that, and it is easy to let the doubt creep in when the prevailing beliefs about a certain type of action is on the more negative side…like it being really hard to find a job after not working so long because of raising kids. I sense that the positive thoughts are stronger than the negative ones..we have so many thoughts in a day, some ‘negative’ ones are bound to creep in. It is all about the predominant feeling and energies and I can tell yours are of the more empowering ilk. Just remember that whatever happens, it is all serving you in some way. Like for example…you get a job offer but it is not quite what you want…that is there to help you clarify your desires, and to show you have choices. Good luck and keep me posted!
Thanks for the encouraging words, Kelli. The truth is, I come from a very negative background. I started out my life with very negative disempowering conditioning about myself and everything else. I actually thought that good things in life weren’t for me and I didn’t even bother dreaming. Only junkies and criminals could understand my frame of mind back then. But it’s been a blessing because it feels amazing to go from THAT to THIS (it’s been a long hard road over several years), and know that my possibilities are ever expanding. BUT when I am low, or tired, those thoughts creep back in so I have to actively work on my vibration all the time. I’m currently experiencing the highest vibration that I have ever had and let me tell you it’s worth the effort!
I read something by Bashar recently that I try to remember: “The first sign that your reality is changing, is that YOU have changed.”
You are welcome. It is amazing you have made such a huge shift. When we are working at the level of shifting our feelings and thoughts, that lays a very strong foundation for change. It might be a gradual process, but it is dramatic and life-altering nonetheless. We all have our low moments…that happens to the best of us. The great thing is, because we are giving more and more momentum and strength to the higher energy thoughts ,feelings and beliefs, we can gravitate back to them more easily. That is a great quote and so true.
Hi Kelli
I’m truly just starting my journey by listening to the Secret CDs. Although I’ve always manifested when I was young, I guess as I got older, I got tainted. Now, I’m starting again.
I’ve definitely noticed that I’m manifesting some of the things that need to be in place to make some changes and to resolve some issues in my life. Changes have actually been almost instantaneous in that I see progress and things and people are coming into place to help me resolve some of my issues. I see that as positive.
I do trust that this is real. I see the proof and things start to move in the directions I need. I just have to get better at staying positive. The tip I find most helpful is to daily think/meditate on what you want, but I also find it useful to listen or read the words that inspire you each day. I listen to the Secret CD and that definitely helps and reminds me of what I need to do mentally myself to make it all happen.
Great post, very informative, very encouraging.
Thank you,
Barbara
Hey Barbara
I think we have all experienced that ‘tainting’. Life can kind of get in the way, and this causes a real disconnect. We get so caught up in day to day living, and our life experiences can kind of ‘beat us down’ mentally and cause a more negative outlook. What you are doing now with this deliberate focus on materials that resonate with you is one of the best things you can do. It will help build momentum behind the more positive thoughts and beliefs, and they will become more dominant. You will keep experiencing more and more that shows you there is something to all of this, and that will build the trust. Sounds like things are going great, and keep me posted on all your awesome manifestations!
Hi Kelli,
One of my favorite sayings ‘life gets in the way.’ And oh boy can it. But I’m readjusting my thinking and preparing myself for the good things to come. I bought the Secret about 2 years ago and it is helping to change my mindset so I expect great things now. Looking forward to growing that momentum! So exciting that we can change and adjust life to our positive thoughts. You’ve been an inspiration in our short acquaintance and have given me hope. Thanks for sharing how it works and how well it works.
Barbara
Hey Barbara
It sounds like that momentum is increasing quite nicely for you already, so keep at it. Just remember to be patient and compassionate with yourself in the moments you may not feel great or whatever…there can be a tendency for getting a bit too hard on ourselves while doing this work. That means so much to me that I am helping you in this journey. Just keep doing what you are doing, and you will let in so much good stuff, things that you can’t even imagine now.
Hi Kelli,
I agree. I’m seeing little things that will lead to what I desire. I’m so grateful we came across each other. This is wonderful to hook up with people who understand. And thanks for the reminder to be compassionate and patient. I think God put me on this earth to learn patience. 🙂 so this is all a part of the process for me. I’m still learning so may reach out to you.
Take care and have a great week.
Regards,
Barbara
Those little things are signposts that your energy is lining up with the things you want, so be sure to celebrate them. We always seem to find what we need when we need it, if we are open. The Universe always has our back. It sounds like you are doing wonderfully and I am here for anything you need. Have a great day
Hi Kelli
Heard a lot about you especially at Ryan’s blog and now I regret why did I visit your awesome blog so late.
Your unique way of writing is awesome and while talking you communicate so many dry points in a very entertaining way.
The title of the post is itself so powerful and reminds me the famous theory of attraction that is foundation stone of several discoveries.
Checking the right direction is must to keep journeying rightly to finally reach the ultimate destination.
Thanks a lot for sharing this post with a lot of new information with the blend of unavoidable attraction.
Hi there
Thanks so much for stopping by. Better late than never! I am so glad you like my writing style…that is always important but especially since I tend to write longer posts. Not as long as Ryan, but long nonetheless! So happy you enjoyed the post and found it inspirational. When we can start strengthening that trust, amazing things begin to happen. We don’t have to understand it fully, just have to go with it.
Hey Kelli,
I hadn’t really thought about the better we feel, the higher our vibration is. I like that!
I’ve set some intentions and was really focusing on them for a while. I read The Circle Maker last Spring and I started focusing on my intentions every day. I’d walk around my yard, praying circles for one of my biggest intentions: to pay of my mortgage and own everything outright. I would then journal about it every day.
Then I listened to a Louise Hay recording. She said put your intentions out there and just wait for them to happen. She said when you order something at a restaurant, you don’t keep checking on the order. So, she believes we shouldn’t be checking on our intentions. Just as you mentioned, they will happen when they are supposed to happen.
So I try to be cognizant of them and have daily affirmations about them, but I don’t focus on them so much any more. It’s funny too, because I created a vision board last February and I’ve already seen some of the items come to fruition. I think it’s because I’m just trying to listen to God’s direction, instead of being head strong on what I think my direction is supposed to be.
Great post. Thank you! Have a wonderful week. Lisa
Hey Lisa
Thanks for sharing your experience. That is a great analogy and one I have used myself as well. It can be a tricky balance sometimes between that release and working on raising our energy to let certain things in…the latter requires some degree of focus on our ‘stuff. Our feelings are always a good guide for knowing what we should do. I think you struck a good balance there. I love what you said about being open to direction from that all-knowing force…that type of surrender is where the magic happens. We are in control in the sense we get to dictate our experience through our energy but we are open to trusting that it will come together and we don’t try to control the how.
