The law of attraction is often equated to some form of magical thinking where you just get what you want because you want it. That’s not totally untrue actually but just wanting what we want is not enough to manifest it. We have to be a match to it energetically, and there is a good chance we may not be.
Making peace with that is probably the first step you need to take on your manifesting journey, a step that will save a lot of suffering.
Podcast #54: Law of Attraction: Making Peace with Your Resistance and That You May Have Some Work to Do
The EXACT thing i needed to hear this evening, I am often getting in my own way! Perfect timing, thank you, youre a gem 🙂
Hi Claudette
Thanks for your comment and I am so glad this was helpful for you.
The thing I have heard you stressing as of late is to make sure to do things that make us happy, and I think that’s the most important part, and the part that I struggle the most with. The manifestation that I am looking for is a better job, so I am not happy with the job that I currently have (except when I’m at work, and then I’m okay with it!). I have come to dread/hate going to work (even though some days are really, really fun) and I don’t know to flip that. I feel like something in that has to do with how powerful I feel, or perhaps something about self-worth (most of my resistance comes from my low feeling of self-worth). I don’t feel like I have the power to change my situation in life because I don’t have the experience to back up my qualifications (or maybe I’ve just looked at too many job postings and been disappointed, lol). I know that I am an idealist, and when I find out the truth of something doesn’t match what I want, I reject it immediately (like in college, when the classes didn’t exactly match what I imagined from the description, I would drop them). I wonder if that’s the problem, that I am idealizing my first job (which was when I was a teenager and I worked at a summer camp) and comparing all my other jobs to it. Hmm. Food for thought! (Or, erm… food for feelings. I should chase the feelings and not analyze it too much, right? xD)
Thanks Kelli! I really appreciate your podcasts and blog posts; they have helped me make sure I am paying attention to my energy. Also, thanks for letting me work out my train of thoughts/feelings in your comments. 😉
Hi Emjay
I find writing things out to be really helpful. It helps you really see what is going on, and getting it out of your head can be good for breaking up some of the energy. It is possible you may be idealizing your old job to some degree but also pay attention to what you liked about it–that can clue you in as far as what sort of ‘energies’ you are looking for in your ideal job. The self-worth issue as well as other feelings being triggered by your situation is your first priority though–that is the true cause of feeling badly not that you don’t like your job.
