Of all the issues we have with strengthening our manifesting mojo, a lack of trust is basically at the root of it all when you really think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

We read about LOA and something just resonates..we think there is something to it.\u00a0We start doing our work, and manifestations are popping up in all areas of our life. This ‘proof’ makes us believe even more, but there may be certain areas of our life where the more’negative’ energies are really strong, and things aren’t moving as swimmingly as we would like them.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are certain things we want that are super-important to us, and this makes it hard to just sit back and relax. We may have allowed ourselves to want things that we never would have, before having a better understanding of the attraction process. Now that those floodgates have opened, the thought of not getting them can really throw us for a loop.<\/span><\/p>\n

The old paradigm of taking control, making things happen, suffering through hard, unpleasant work to reap reward and ‘figuring it out,’ is pretty deeply ingrained, and overcoming that conditioning takes a bit of mental effort. We have lots of limiting beliefs, and are relying far too heavily on our past experiences, and current reality, in determining what might be possible for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

We so want to fully surrender, and truly step into that feeling that everything we want is ours for the taking, and no matter what happens, we are always moving towards it. You may have actually achieved this state of pure trust for a few precious moments, and it is absolutely divine. But, then it quickly dissipates. That’s okay if you are not in this space every second. I don’t know if there is anyone who has reached that level of clearing out all doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. Though it would be absolutely amazing, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

This whole attracting thing is a process..as your awareness expands, your attitude shifts and empowering beliefs become more dominant, your experience will start to improve. You will let in more and more. In theory, you can go from totally being unaware to all of this to master manifestor in one leap, but anyone capable of making such a leap would probably already be living at their max potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you begin attracting the highest possibilities for yourself right off the bat? Probably not, and that’s okay. Will you be able to cultivate the highest opinion of yourself and your abilities within your first week of studying conscious creation? Unlikely, and it’s fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

For someone who is just starting her personal development blog, she may not be at a space where she can truly see herself as the next Louise Hay. For someone who is just starting out their home based business, and doesn’t know a thing, he probably can’t imagine becoming a well-known name in the field, getting top dollar for his programs and consulting services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about all the great things you attracted into your life before you were aware of something like law of attraction. You had a vibration that was a mix of positive and negative beliefs. There is a good chance you did not do anything specific, set any specific intentions or gave much thought to this stuff before it showed up\u2014it just did because you were a match to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means you don’t have to achieve some state of perfection to get the things you want. Now that you are deliberately working on your energy, and taking an active role in shaping your experience, imagine all the great things you can create? You may need to do some work on your belief system, and practice a bit on focusing more positively. One of the things you will likely have to do some work on is cultivating that trust. When that grows, it is like a ripple effect that spreads to whatever else you may be doing to make these internal shifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few tips for building the trust crucial to the process of attraction, and creating our most desired realities with the greatest ease possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap Your Mind in a Cocoon of Positivity to the Best of Your Ability<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the reasons building this trust is so hard ,is all the information you have taken in over the years, that flies in the face of this whole concept. Your subconscious has bagged and tagged every experience, memory, thought and piece of information you have had your entire life. While you have likely formed many positive beliefs as a result of this mish mash, there are plenty that are pretty negative. Not all of them are absolutely horrible, but have certainly contributed to living small, not expecting much from life, creating a very limited view of yourself, and what is possible, and not having very much enthusiasm for human experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we have lacked a strong degree of awareness this whole time, we have no idea the full extent of the various outside influences in shaping our belief system, and how we regard ourselves. We haven’t a clue none of this crap actually belongs to us, and it was implanted. After all this time, it certainly feels like ours, but we can return to sender anytime. All of this ‘stuff’ influenced our external experience, and we wrongly take this as ‘proof’ what we believe is indisputable fact. We have no shortage of evidence in our own lives, and in that of countless others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being more cognizant of what we expose ourselves to is important on many levels, and it is one of the most powerful tools for strengthening trust. We can’t build trust in a concept if we are constantly letting in all manner of things that make it hard for us to buy into said concept.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

On one hand, attraction is a very simple process\u2014the Universe wants to give us all the stuff we want, as quickly as we can let it in. It is not expecting us to jump through hoops, and work hard to prove we really want it or are worthy. Our mere existence entitles us to all the awesomeness available to us and we just have to claim it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, on the other hand, it can be complex because of all the conditioning that has put us out of touch with our ability to manifest, and that powerful creator within. Just getting LOA in theory is a great start, but we need it to permeate our being on the deepest level, where we KNOW and FEEL the truth on a grander scale . Your mind is not readily going to accept these concepts, and just abandon all it has believed to be true for so long.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, there is going to have to be some deliberate effort on our parts to make the internal shifts. This work doesn’t have to be hard or painful, but it has to have some degree of consistency. We have to take stock of our current situation, and see where we may be dropping the ball attraction- wise. And one of the biggest issues is what we are exposing ourselves to, what we are letting in.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are serious about improving your life through applying the principles of attraction, then you need to protect your mind and your feelings fiercely.<\/b><\/i> Stop talking about your financial problems, and steer conversations with others into a different direction as best you can; avoid the discussions about how your country is going to hell in a handbasket; don’t get sucked into conversations with all your single girlfriends about how all men suck and how hard it is to meet people; stop consuming the news in any form\u2014don’t worry, if there is something really important that is going to affect you, you’ll hear about it. Right now your vibration is too fragile to be dealing with such negativity on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

And avoiding the negative stuff is not enough\u2014it is a great start, but you also need to feed your mind things that will help you start feeling better and more optimistic. Information that will challenge your current way of thinking, and convince you it is nothing more than an opinion, a really crappy one at that. Don’t go on an information binge, just consuming, without application and reflection. Find a few books, blogs or whatever that really resonate, and study them. Apply the tips, digest the information. If you really want to give yourself a fighting chance, you need to be the bodyguard of your mind, and only grant admission to things that will support your efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting Specific Intentions is Fine,But Work on Feeling Good Overall<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is a piece of advice you have seen dispensed here many a time. In fact, many things I talk about in one particular post have often been referenced in some other context. There are two reasons for this. First, the core elements of successful attraction are actually few, but have various nuances that apply to different aspects of the process. Second, repetition of the information is important for really buying into it, and edging out all the crap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The core reason for feeling good just for the sake of it, and to not always be focusing on attracting specific things, is because we attract based on what we feel. When our vibration is higher, and we are feeling better, lots of great stuff that matches this higher vibration will make its way in ,without us having put any specific effort towards these manifestations.<\/span><\/p>\n

This worthwhile endeavor is also beneficial for strengthening trust. First, the better we feel overall, the more receptive we are to the materials discussing Law of Attraction, and other ideas that support the belief we can have good things, actually deserve good things, can create whatever we want, and can be happy, like truly happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

From this higher-vibing space, we resonate more with this information, and we are in closer proximity to the big us, our higher self, that has always known these simple, yet powerful truths. God, what our higher selves must think as they watch us fumble through this existence, suffering needlessly! As loving and perfect as they are, there must be times they just want to slap us in the face, and be like..WHAT is wrong with you people?<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, as it was mentioned above, feeling better overall raises our vibration, which is where attraction is at. As that raises, our outside experiences improves, and we let in all sorts of wonderful. The more we attract, the more we begin to believe LOA is real. And the more we believe it is real, the easier it is to trust we are taken care of, there is some force out there orchestrating all of this in a way we can’t possibly fully understand and don’t need to<\/em><\/strong>, and what we want will be delivered to us at the perfect time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of attracting something is the same no matter what area of our life, no matter how big or small the thing. When we start seeing stuff actually happen, no matter what the manifestation, our belief that this same awesomeness can be put into process for the things that we really want, that are really important to us, grows and solidifies.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we are technically not supposed to rely on outside appearances to bolster our faith, let’s face it…we have our doubts, and it makes us feel all happy and relieved, when we see something that helps us believe. It’s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you have set some specific intentions, and you have your vision boards, do your visualizing, affirm, and whatever, it’s all good. So long as that stuff actually helps you raise your energy and bolster your belief what you want is coming, keep at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, don’t forget to focus on feeling good overall, and doing things that make you happy, well, just because they make you happy. The Universe and your higher self know what you want,and they really don’t need your conscious participation at all actually. But most of us aren’t vibing so high we can totally release and get out of the way. It is what it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

The order won’t get lost. The Universe won’t conclude you don’t want the things you want, if you start enjoying your life now without them, or you aren’t thinking about them every second. As far as acquiring something through the means of conscious creation, we get the goods based on what we feel and believe, not the exact amount of effort we are putting into aligning ourselves, or how much we think about what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if something makes you feel good, it is worth your time. Don’t dismiss any activity because it doesn’t seem like you are ‘working’ on yourself, or it appears to be frivolous. The more frivolous the better, in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note the Signposts that Show You are Going in the Right Direction<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some manifestations fall right into our lap, in their full glory. Then there are some that unfold over a longer period of time. This might be for a number of reasons. Perhaps we are not quite a match for what we want at the moment, and we need to do a bit of work on our mindset and feelings. Or maybe we are not fully ready for a lot of change all at once, even if we consciously want it,and things are going to come in bits and pieces\u2014the Universe and our higher selves are absolutely perfect in orchestrating things for our greatest benefit. Again, they really don’t need us. In fact, most of the time we are just getting in the way. This is something we may never fully realize, myself included!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, because we might not get something in full form right away, but we are aligning with it, we will experience things that demonstrate our energy is shifting and we are lining up with what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are a blogger who wants to be more successful in selling your products, and you find an increase in traffic, and comments, after seemingly no action for a long time. Don’t dismiss this because you are still not getting sales or clients. They’re coming, so long as you don’t crap all over these signposts, and note that what you want is still not here yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

You want to find a boyfriend, and find yourself coming into contact with more men who seem like a great match\u2014you are having those great conversations you imagine having with your man. You feel more at ease and confident around men than you ever have. Don’t get all discouraged when you leave the bar without anyone having asked for your number. Hie is coming as long as you don’t crap all over these signposts, and note that the person you want is still not here yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

These things are not coincidences. They are manifestations that show you are on the right track. Don’t dismiss them because they don’t seem important, or because they are not the actual manifestation. It is easy to get so fixated on what we want, that we totally dismiss all the signs that it is on its way.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you see these manifestations for what they really represent, that trust will get stronger and stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Closing….<\/span><\/h2>\n

God, wouldn’t it be great if we could just totally buy into this LOA thing full bore instantly? How amazing would that be? Being constantly assaulted by awesomeness, while doing almost nothing to get it, except the things that feel really good to us. Never dealing with the icky doubt, or having to step into our crappy beliefs to own and finally release them? Yes please.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically, it is totally possible. But, an unlikely scenario. It will resonate for sure, and we’ll know there is truth to LOA. But, the mind is resistant to change. You have believed the things you have believed for so long,\u00a0you are not just going to drop them like a hot potato.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, with that being said, making this shift doesn’t have to be super-painful and drag on for years and years. It is important to also realize this shift does not have to be some 180 where you go from where you are now, riddled with limiting beliefs, to some master where you don’t have a single one. It is all about what is predominant…you just have to get work on getting to a 51\/49 mix. Lots of good things will start happening, and that 51 percent will grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may find you have an easier time cultivating this trust in certain areas of your life than others. It will probably be more challenging to build this trust when it comes to the things that are really important and you really want, like turning your passion into a profitable business ,or finding a person with which to start a family,when your biological clock is ticking so loudly you think you may go deaf.<\/span><\/p>\n

As your faith in LOA grows, you will allow yourself to want bigger and better things, and you will run into new layers of resistance that were not activated by previous, ‘smaller’ desires. You will get mad at yourself for feeling the doubt and fear, but it is natural. You’ll note what is coming up, and you’ll find a way to deal with it. As you grow and evolve, you may find yourself wanting things you may not have wanted before, and you are treading into all new territory, and stuff will probably come up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make peace with this process\u2014there is always going to be new things you want to create, and you’ll likely have to do some inner work to let them in, but you don’t have to suffer. It is just all part of this glorious game.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you really apply the three tips I gave here, I guarantee your trust will increase, and the more we trust, the easier and more joyful the ride gets.<\/span><\/p>\n
