Immersing ourselves in a teaching like the law of attraction naturally causes us to zero in on all the things we want and trying to manifest them. That’s all good.
But it is easy to lose sight of the core reason we are doing all of this–to be happy. That noble goal can take a backseat to just getting our ‘stuff.’ So I’m chatting you up about this important question. Enjoy.
Podcast #51: Law of Attraction: Do You Even Care If You’re Happy?
Thank you for your podcast.
I did happen to see Melody’s video and the whole way through it I was smiling because it hit home a few things. Your podcast really reinforces them. You two kind of go together, same page.
I have made a conscious choice to be happy for the sake of getting my stuff, but I know know the Universe knows it was fake, so now I am choosing to find the small things to be grateful for, to appreciate what is. Having faith what I want will come when I am not faking, not so desperate for it and appreciating what I do have. Being genuinely happy I think is a key. I am saying to the universe I want my stuff – of course I do! Instead of having a belief I truly need it and right now. Creating detachment and I hope raising my vibration to my “stuff”. Hopefully I am on the right track. Thank you again Kelli!
P.s. I’d be interested to know how to stay positive and happy when people you know always like that Sadnesses character from the movie Inside out?
Hi Viv
Thanks for your comment and I am glad you enjoyed it. Gratitude for what we have now is really powerful because it put us in an energy of receiving and allows more things for which to be grateful to show up. Dropping ‘need’ is the most powerful thing we can do but of course challenging. It’s okay if you are ‘struggling’ a bit with all of this. That is normal. Don’t be afraid to engage with your emotions and don’t put pressure on yourself to enter emotional states that just aren’t in your reach at the moment. As for the second question, I think that could make a good blog post–how to maintain your energy around lower-energy people. I think I will do that next week. Stay tuned.
Such an excellent and poignant question, and it makes complete sense. The “need” to have ones stuff really can get in the way. I love how you put it, and how you put the goals of the mind out there for us to think about. It’s agenda is a bit different than the ultimate goal. Enjoyed the podcast.
Thanks Kelli!
Hi Corin
Thanks so much for your comment and so glad you enjoyed it. It is important to keep our mind’s agenda and machinations in mind because it typically doesn’t have our best interests in mind.
Hi Kelli,
I have a question for you. I believe I attracted someone into my life, but then did not think I was worthy of him once I received it and then lost him. This has happened more than a few times over a span of, believe it or not, six years. Recently he appeared somewhere i did not expect him to be. I brushed him off because I felt he was looking so good and I was looking crappy. Now he is being distant.
I believe now that I attracted him, but then I lost him because my thoughts/energy made me think I was not worthy of him.
I am getting to the place where I am seeing myself as worthy, but now I am wondering if I have blown it one too many times. I many times can I attract him back to me. I believe we are connected, I believe we are meant to be, but I am worried that I have messed it up with my negative thinking. Does loa..I don’t know …expire on a particular subject.
Hi Issha
We can often attract people into our life that can be a good match for us but if we don’t feel worthy, we will sabotage the relationship in some way. This is what may be happening with you. Clean up the worthiness issues and he may come back and it can work. Or his sole purpose might be to help you with this issue and then he will gravitate out of your life and it’s not meant to turn into a relationship. Or you may be attached to him for one reason or another and he is the person who your mind wants for one reason or another but he is actually not a good match for you.
The key here is working on your issues of worthiness and whatever else is being triggered by the absence of a relationship in your life–that is ultimately what is going to get you the good relationship and the feelings you are after. Don’t focus so much on attracting a specific person–I know our mind doesn’t like that answer but it will save you a lot of suffering in the long run.
Hi! Love your posts, def cheered me up when I was feeling down. I have a question though, what do you do if (when your not in your best mind set) you can’t seem to think about or put your fingers on exactly what makes you “feel good” or what your genuine passions are? How do you get in touch with these feelings when your feeling down and unwantingly putting to much energy on negative stuff that is out of your control and doesn’t even exist? I’d love to hear back from you!
Hi Andrea
I think your question would make a great blog post…stay tuned.
