One of the things we don’t see coming when working with a teaching like the law of attraction is having to deal with all the ‘ick’ we have been carrying around our whole lives. We get to allow these feelings and acknowledge them. The trick is not ‘fighting’ for them, which is very different. Here are some thoughts on the difference.
Also, don’t forget to check out my newest series starting tomorrow:
Manifesting C#ckblockers: Tackling the Most Common Forms of Resistance
Podcast #80: Law of Attraction: Allowing Your ‘Negative’ Feelings Vs. Fighting for Them
That was such a sublime explanations of something I’ve been doing all my life but haven’t quite been able to define. I realized I have a difficulty forgiving when my efforts fall flat or don’t bring about the outcome I wanted. So I place an embargo on creating because I don’t want my ability to do something to be brought into question, since I rely on that so much. It would be super enlightening if you could expound on this and whether manifesting could be tied to the growth mindset ( vs the fixed mindset of I’ll believe it when I see it).
I binge on your content and I love it because it’s succinct and authentic. You’re not trying to be someone you’re not. You cuss, which is so awesome. It allows me to feel like I don’t have to change 360° in order to grow.
Also, I have a feeling that the strong urge you had towards the end of December to give discounts on products is a sign of your soul ‘nesting’ in preparation for bigger and bolder stuff. I wish you the best!
Hi Mulki
Thanks for your comment and I am glad you enjoyed the podcast. This can be a tricky aspect of this process for sure. Being forgiving of yourself is a huge part of this and really really important. While we use the word ‘create’ a lot I sometimes think it’s not the most accurate way to describe the process. In a way, we’re kind of not doing anything–it’s more about ‘receiving.’ Thinking of that way can take some pressure off thinking it is something you are ‘responsible’for all on your own. I think curse words can be great for emphasis and humor and they are just words to me so I just don’t censor myself–glad you enjoy them 😉
I work in childcare, which is exhausting. I’ve been looking for a different job since April of last year, but with no luck. I try really hard to have good days and stay positive, but there are days I have an awful time; when the kids won’t listen, when my staff aren’t being watchful, when parents don’t like me, etc. But there are also days that I love it; when I have awesome staff, when my supervisors support me, when I can let go and have fun playing with the kids. I try very hard to take each day, each shift, as it comes. I have started to really enjoy my job by accepting that I have bad days where all I want to do is quit. But I stay, and then maybe I’ll have an awesome day the next day. And you know what? Now that I am enjoying it, I am actually finding more jobs that I actually want to apply to.
Thanks for this podcast, Kelli. I think I’m beginning to understand more and more what you mean by ‘just feel your feelings’.
Hi Marjorie
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience. I noticed the phrase ‘trying really hard’ popped up a couple of times there. It’s good to be cognizant of our energy and make that conscious ‘effort’ to be more positive and think of things with perspective that serves us better, but when we find we are ‘trying really hard’ to do that, it usually means there is something we are really fighting against or it wouldn’t feel so difficult. Set that intention for sure but don’t feel a lot of pressure to ‘make’ yourself happy–that will actually make it easier to do so. It sounds like you are starting to see some ‘evidence’ of your vibrational shift and that always makes it easier to maintain that state of mind.
