Law of Attraction: Shifting Energy When What You Want Seems Light Years Away from Your Current Reality Part 1

You get law of attraction in theory, and believe things can be different. But then your mind is like…um, no. It implores you to take a good hard look at your life now and asks how in the hell can you get from here to where you would actually rather be?

It doesn’t mean to shit all over your dreams, and thinks it is helping protect you from disappointment and the big, black void of the unknown that we have been conditioned to be absolutely terrified of.

But, your mind ,as much good it does in countless ways, can really be the proverbial wet blanket, when it comes to consciously creating your reality.

It won’t just jump on board with this new way of thinking and being; it doesn’t like stuff that is new and uncomfortable, even if this new and uncomfortable stuff will create all sorts of awesomeness.

It has come to various conclusions about how the world works and doesn’t like having them challenged.There is just so much proof these conclusions are true, as witnessed in your own experience, the people close to you and the world at large.

But what has happened up until now has no bearing on what is possible. There is an invisible support system that will help you in countless ways, so long as you allow it to.

You may not transform your whole life overnight, but things can start changing quite quickly. You can start attracting all sorts of things that bolster your trust and faith, which will let in even more stuff, creating a wonderful cycle.

When where you are now seems really far from where you need to be, just voicing your desires and sitting back and waiting for them to come won’t sit well, and you probably can’t get into an energetic space where events will unfold this easily.

You have to do a bit of ‘work’ to start genuinely feeling better and bring your mind on board with this whole attraction thing.

I know it can seem like a tall order, but it’s totally possible…and on that note, a few wisdom nuggets to assist you in doing so:

 Just Focus on the Next Step…That’s All We Can Ever Really See Anyway

One thing that can easily stop us in our tracks is thinking of all that would need to happen to get where we want to go. All the things we need to figure out. All the elements that must come together for us to get what we want.

And as such, any enthusiasm we may have mustered up thinking about this thing we want to attract quickly gets extinguished.

This line of thinking can be particularly disheartening when your mind is having a really hard time seeing how anything you want is even remotely possible given the current circumstances of your life.

But here’s the thing. You have no idea the million different ways what you want can unfold.

You have no idea if what you want right now will be the same exact thing you want a year from now, or even a month from now.

You have no idea what inspirations, ideas, opportunities and people will present themselves to you that shape your path.

You have no idea how awesome things can get once you start consciously working with your energy…you can have so much more than whatever you have in mind now.

If you got a glimpse of all the awesomeness you can create, it would probably freak you the f$ck out to be completely honest.

Do your best to just focus on right now, and what you are feeling pulled to do right now. I say do your best because you are not going to succeed with this all the time…we are so ingrained to try and figure everything out right now.

The fears and doubts are strong. It will be challenging to ignore your current reality as irrelevant.

Make peace with that and don’t beat yourself up too much. I say too much, because let’s face it, you are probably going to do that too. It’s all part of the lovely process of conscious creation…all sorts of fun crap we have to face and clear out.

So, what is your next step? And in figuring this out, things will work out much better if you take it based on your intuition and what feels good, not what you think you ‘should’ do. Because like I always like to remind you lovely people…you are always after a feeling no matter what.

Do what you can to feel those feelings now and you’ll attract a bunch of other stuff that feels just like that. No matter what unfolds, it will be all good because it’s all going to feel awesome, and again…that is all you really want at the end of the day.

Focusing Positively Isn’t Just Going to Happen…You’ll Have to Work at It

We are not very accustomed to thinking about what we want in a positive way. You probably have attracted all sorts of good things in your life before you became aware of law of attraction, and you most certainly already have some beliefs that have been serving you well, so you’re probably not starting from scratch completely.

But, if you are really feeling dissatisfied with your life, and you feel like there is a lot of stuff you want that you don’t have, a good chunk of your focus has probably been on what you don’t want. You have a number of beliefs that aren’t serving you, and that have led you to attract whatever is unwanted in your current experience.

There is a lot of momentum behind these negative beliefs. You have attracted lots of experiences that validate them, and your mind is not just going to let them go. Most of us weren’t raised in an environment where we were taught to truly shoot for the stars and that helped us strengthen that innate power we have to create our reality.

For the most part, that power has been squashed and we have been taught that we don’t have that much power at all really. Moving from this space to that happy shiny one where we get to have all we want by simply believing we can, and controlling our focus, is not going to be a smooth, effortless transition.

In theory, we can totally do that, but all that resistance stands in the way. And if the life you want, and the life you have now seem to be on completely opposite ends of the spectrum, you are most certainly not going to just be able to step into this new reality fully, because you are going to have a really hard time believing you can, and that’s normal.

The old programming is very strong, and you will easily default to it, if you don’t make an effort to build that positive momentum.

So, even though tools like visualizing are simply a means to an end, and you don’t need to use them, they are going to be necessary at this point. You are going to need to do something to shift your focus and help you cultivate that more positive energy.

While getting clear on what you want and setting an intention to get it, is very powerful as it begins to create the energy of what you want, it needs to be nurtured. The energy that contradicts it needs to be cleared out.

This doesn’t mean you have to think about what you want every second, or devote hours a day to various tools. But, if when you think about what you want, you feel all sorts of badly, and you are having a hard time generating any positive emotion around it, you need to work on that.

If you find yourself automatically defaulting to the old ways of thinking and feeling, you have to work on that.

This isn’t about totally clearing everything out immediately. You’ll have moments when you feel fear, doubt or whatever. That’s to be expected. You just want to work on feeling good about getting what you want more than you are feeling badly and that you don’t think you can have it.

It might take a bit to tilt the balance, and that’s okay. The good news is, as you begin to bank that positive momentum, thinking and feeling better becomes easier. As your vibration raises, you become a better match for all that positivity and it floats into your experience more naturally.

You don’t have to work as consciously to get there. When you revert back to the old ways, this ‘new way’ is not as far away and you can get back to that space more easily.

Now that you have a better understanding of how your reality is created, you must be willing to make the shifts. You can’t just blame your mind anymore, and keep stuck in the same patterns and behaviors.

Don’t Worry about Action Right Now

For the most part, we tend to place a heavy emphasis on taking action when it comes to making changes in our life, and clearly, there will be actions that we will take to create our more desired reality. But what is happening in our inner world is the core determinant of our experience. Our actions are manifestations of our energy actually.

And because of this heavy emphasis on action, you may feel really badly about your current lot in life and getting what you want because it doesn’t seem like there is much you can really do right now.

Quitting your job may not seem feasible. You don’t have the money to move out of your parent’s house. You can’t just pick up and move to somewhere you would rather live. And so on and so forth.

But, you don’t really have to worry about doing much of anything at this stage. The beauty of creating our reality by shoring up the warm, fuzzy energy that will allow us to receive the things we want is that we can accomplish that without taking any sort of action.

Our reality is just a mirror of our predominant thoughts, beliefs and feelings and once we start shifting all of that, our outside experience will shift right along with it…it has to. It’s like if I’m driving a car…if I turn the wheel left, the car has to go left, it can’t go right.

Things can start changing as soon as your focus starts changing.

Things can start changing as you express a willingness to believe things can get better even if you don’t know how it will happen or what ‘better’ looks like.

Things can start changing as soon as you begin flowing some energy towards what you want by visualizing or using other tools that make you feel good, or by just allowing yourself to do things that make you feel better, regardless of whether it has any relation to what you want to manifest.

In Closing

You don’t fully believe what you want is possible, and it’s cool. Given what you have been conditioned to believe your whole life, that is totally understandable. Make peace with the fact you can’t just go all in with this whole LOA thing…the less you resist your resistance, the easier it will be.

Be willing to start feeling better before you are given a reason to. Feed your mind the information that will help you revamp your thought patterns and programming. Be more cognizant of what makes you feel badly, and adjust accordingly. Stay in the moment as best you can, and try not to think ahead to six months, a year or two years.

Focus on things in your life now that are good and develop a true appreciation for them…that will open you up to receiving more things to appreciate. Your mind will fight you on focusing positively when there are things in your experience you don’t like…it believes that is where our attention should be until it gets ‘fixed.’ But, you get to choose.

Do shit that makes you feel better. That is probably the best thing you can do right now…seriously.
