The more I work with LOA and shift beliefs that no longer serve me, the more I realize how easy it really is to improve our lives and get the things we want. But, it took me awhile to get to this point. The way I thought, felt and behaved prior to becoming aware of this force, was very, very different. In theory, we can flip a switch and just change course overnight. But, in practice, this just isn’t going to happen, and that’s okay<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know there are a lot of well-meaning LOA enthusiasts out there that love to let everyone\u00a0 dealing with some \u2018heavy\u2019 stuff know how simple it truly is, and just tell them to ‘be love’ or they already have all they need, etc…, but they’re really not helping. Sorry guys.\u00a0 I wholeheartedly agree with these types of sentiments, but this just isn’t going to cut it with people who have been significantly struggling with life, and have found themselves in a really bad way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their line of thinking is eons away from the kind that makes application of LOA ‘effortless.’\u00a0 Everyone telling them how easy it should be just serves to make them feel badly about themselves because it doesn\u2019t seem easy, and for having negative thoughts and feelings. It makes them worry things can’t get better unless they somehow feel good every second, and this isn’t necessary to start seeing changes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all flawed human beings and sometimes we make really bad choices that really f$ck up our lives; we grew up around certain people who had really crappy beliefs, and eventually they became our own. Certain things happened to us that soured our view of life, and we came up with loads of other limiting beliefs that we piled on top. We look around at people around us, and things happening in the world at large, and we find plenty of proof that supports our shitty view of life, which further solidifies it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when all this gets mixed together, we may find ourselves in a life that has not been too kind. This is where severe financial struggles, abusive relationships, major self-esteem issues, hopelessness, constant \u2018bad luck’, nothing ever seeming to go right and a severe<\/em><\/strong> victim mentality are born.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are starting your work with LOA from this far down the pit, commencing with the usual applications of the principles will probably not work for you. There is a bit more that needs to be done to really get your vibration up, get things moving in the right direction and keeping you from giving up on work that can change your life dramatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are my tips for working with LOA from a really low space. I\u2019d also like to add that this stuff is also applicable to people who may be a bit further up the path vibrationally but find themselves struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before you dive into that, take a look at this short video…<\/p>\n

Acknowledge Where You Are Now and Accept<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With all this talk of the importance of feeling good to get LOA working for us instead of against us, you may begin to feel a lot of resistance against your bad feelings. You\u2019ll be mad they are there; you\u2019ll be mad at yourself for feeling them, and that you let things get so out of control. The idea we have so much power over our reality is very empowering, but it can also lead to a lot of self-flagellation for dropping the ball for so long. You think how much suffering could have been avoided if you had done things differently sooner, and that stings.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is all understandable, but don\u2019t beat yourself up too much here. Yeah, you made quite the mess for yourself, but you can\u2019t change the past. I believe everything happens as it should, and now was your \u2018time to shine,\u2019 for whatever reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acknowledge your feelings; accept they are there. You still may not like them, but when we stop resisting them, and stop judging ourselves for feeling badly, we greatly cut back on the suffering, which is borne of how we are responding to what happens to us, not what has actually occurred. Getting all down on ourselves for not being happy is certainly not an effective way to evoke more positive feelings, that\u2019s for damn sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recommend getting out a piece of paper and a pen, and writing down all your feelings, and dig a bit to get at the root of what is going on and uncover the beliefs that you have been carrying around. So, as you write down a feeling, ask yourself why you feel that, and then that. So, being mad at your husband for leaving you, may morph into feeling like you are not good enough to be loved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t make yourself feel bad for feeling badly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving into Better Feeling Thoughts<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Moving into better feeling thoughts is key to shifting your reality, but when you have been feeling really, really badly, this process can be a bit more slow-going, and again, that\u2019s okay.<\/em><\/strong> It\u2019s a lot easier for someone whose life is pretty okay now, and who just wants it to sparkle a bit more, to move into a better place emotionally than someone who is really going through some rough stuff, like trying to improve herself so she can leave her abusive husband, or dealing with severe money strain.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you what thoughts to think, as it is a really subjective experience, and you\u2019ll probably have to play around with some different lines of thinking. One thing to remember is you moving towards better feeling thoughts from this lower place may mean reaching for other types of thoughts that aren\u2019t exactly \u2018positive.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, someone experiencing a heavy degree of self-pity or shame may find moving into anger provides great relief and makes him feel better. So, while you can\u2019t really take this route once you get over these first few humps, right now<\/em><\/strong>, think anything<\/em><\/strong> that makes you feel better<\/em><\/strong>, no matter how \u2018negative\u2019 it may seem. This may involve a good old revenge fantasy against your ex\u2019s new girlfriend, blaming someone else for your problems or just thinking really mean things about someone who you are not really liking at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing about thoughts\u2014they are actually manifestations too. What pops into our minds is based on our current vibration, so when you raise yours, you will be \u2018delivered\u2019 thoughts that match this higher vibration. There will be less work to do in terms of generating \u2018better\u2019 thoughts because they will come to you automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t force yourself to say affirmations or adopt a line of thinking that sounds good but feels anything but. You want to work on actually feeling better, not just pretending you do. That is the difference between true positive thinking and denial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Deny Your Current Reality for Fear Admitting It Sends the Wrong Message<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you learn more about LOA, you come across a lot of information that essentially amounts to acting \u2018as if.\u2019 You have to feel good now; you have to feel like what you want is already yours, and so on and so forth. And, this is true because creation is now, so you need to raise your vibration now.You can\u2019t tell yourself you\u2019ll feel better once you get what you want. You can\u2019t have a sense of need around your desire.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, it is easy to get the idea that admitting your struggles now can be a problem attraction-wise because by doing this, you are not acting \u2018as if.\u2019 You get the idea it is better to just ignore what is happening since your work with LOA will fix it. By giving it our attention, we will just get more of the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, acting in this way can really work wonders for you, IF you feel good and have a high level of trust. But, chances are, you don\u2019t feel good because you are dealing with some major problems, and you don\u2019t have a large degree of trust in a process you have just recently discovered. Attraction is based on how we are feeling, not what we are saying and doing. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you are having major money problems for example, and you fear facing the debt collectors and telling them your situation, or that you are having a lot of trouble paying your bills, because you think that will send a message to the Universe to keep you broke, stop and think for a minute about this decision from a \u2018feeling\u2019 perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

How is this course of action making you feel? I would gather you probably feel sick to your stomach most of your waking hours. I imagine you feel really fearful and prone to moments of pure panic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, think about how it would feel to call those debt collectors, explain your situation, get a payment plan set up and have them off your back? How would it feel to admit you are having trouble paying your bills, and taking steps to reduce your expenses immediately, such as cancelling your super-expensive phone plan or cable, making a budget and living a bit more simply for the time being? I bet those things would make you feel really good! And, that is the name of the game here.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t stick your head in the sand because you fear admitting to the bad stuff will send the wrong message. Admit what is happening, and do whatever you can to make yourself feel better, because things can\u2019t start changing until this happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Worry about Dreaming Big Right Now <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Can you go from practically homeless to a business mogul? No doubt. Can you go from barely getting by to making more money than you ever have within a few months time? Absolutely. When you understand how attraction works, you realize anything is possible for us so long as we adopt a belief system that supports this type of awesomeness. We realize our current and past circumstances have absolutely no bearing on what is possible for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, again, you want to work with the process in a way that actually makes you feel good,<\/em><\/strong> and it is okay if you don\u2019t shoot for the stars right out of the gate. If you are currently out of work from your minimum-wage job, you may have visions of getting another job with similar pay because that is all you can really think about in a way that feels okay, and doesn\u2019t activate a ton of resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a woman who found the courage to leave your abusive husband, and you are in a bad way financially, you may have your sights set on any job that will give you enough money to pay your rent and put food on the table. It\u2019s okay you aren\u2019t setting your sights on becoming the next big female entrepreneur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, things can only improve if we are feeling better, and you want to focus on goals that evoke this feeling. And as you see things start falling into place, your faith in this whole LOA thing will strengthen, and you will realize the sky is the limit. Then you\u2019ll start wanting bigger and better things, and you\u2019ll get them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be Compassionate with Yourself<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Be proud of yourself you have made the decision to lift yourself up; many people never make this decision\u2014they are very entrenched in their negative belief systems, and can\u2019t possibly see another way than the one they have lived. You have a lot of beliefs to shift, and that won\u2019t happen overnight. As you move along your path, other beliefs will rise to the surface that need to be dealt with as your desires get bigger and bolder. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll still have bad days. The \u2018old\u2019 beliefs won\u2019t go away so quickly. You\u2019ll have days when you don\u2019t feel great, and you\u2019ll think all of this is complete BS. Be compassionate with yourself during this process. You aren\u2019t a master of the human experience, and you don\u2019t need to be. Show yourself some love. Celebrate all your victories, good decisions and manifestations, no matter how small they may be.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s my two cents on working with LOA when you are in a really low place. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments. What advice would you give to people who are coming from a really low place vibrationally? Were you ever in that space, and how did you get out of it? Are you there now and if so, what are you struggling with? What are some of your LOA victories that are strengthening your faith in this process? Looking forward to your responses so we can all have a nice chat.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
