Podcast #98: Law of Attraction: Is Fear of Criticism Messing with Your Manifesting?
Thank you so much for explaining most important point of manifestation process. Like you said at the beginning of podcast most of us do struggle with it.
For me when I read your blogs or listen to your podcast I just pay attention to the message you are giving. I didn’t really pay attention to what kind of language you are using. Yes for me those were just words and they were not as much important as the message and insights behind them.
You are right in saying there is always going to be somebody who is not going to like either whole you or part of you. And when I see somebody criticizing people like you I think sometimes its just out of jealousy. They are mad at the fact that why they are not the one who can write all these things. Why those messages are not coming to them. Lol
you are doing great. I like your teaching and the way you articulate concepts. And I believe sometimes using bad language delivers ‘good message’ better way and makes it more touching. Because the person who is using it really wants you to think about that message.
Thank you :).
Hi Rhea
Thanks for your lovely and insightful comment as always. I thought that was a really great example of the type of criticism that holds most of us back, keeps us from being ourselves,etc…–mere opinion and personal preference. If we can get more comfortable with not taking it so personally, life gets so much easier and removes a major barrier to living more authentically and in ways that will make us most happy. Gonna get judged no matte what so might as well do what you want!
I love your clarity and every word you use in all your blogs there’s a natural flow and contextually this resonates with an unobstructed very clear understanding imparted with the with the occasional curse word that is I find just the spice needed to enhance the point(s) being made. Do what and how you do-it so well! Excellent blog.
Hi Earl
Thanks for your comment and I’ll keep bringing the spice!
Hi kelli,
I do suffer from fear of criticism but digging deeper into the why I am afraid, I discovered it’s because I’m afraid that the negative I hear is true for example, I am trying to leave my old orthodox church that believes that Christianity is the only true religion and that those who don’t believe are excluded from heaven and discovered Divine Science church that believes that all people will come to know the truth eventually whether in this life time or the next, the thing is that new belief feels so peaceful and divine to me but on the other hand I still don’t fully trust it because there seems to be verses in the bible that confirm my old beliefs so if I talk to anyone about my new beliefs that I want to believe 100% I fear their criticism because I’m afraid they will put me back in the doubting zone and I will be afraid that they are right. I guess I must be confident in myself and in my beliefs first but I don’t know how to do that.
Hi Tina
The only thing you can do is explore more deeply for yourself what you think to be true and not true. It is also important to remember that you don’t necessarily have to reject all the teachings of your church–some of them might feel really good to you and that’s okay. The issue is the ones that don’t, that make you feel afraid, that make you view God in a fearful way,etc…Do you really want to keep believing those things? Do you actually think they are true? Also, you don’t have to discuss this with anyone who might criticize you, especially if you are really fragile right now. It ultimately comes down to rejecting the idea that just because something is uncomfortable, it is an excuse not to do it. Our mind thinks that is a great reason. It is a choice you can make for sure, but it comes at a high cost much of the time.
