You started consciously working with your energy to create all sorts of great stuff in your life. Taking control of our energy, letting ourselves want the things we truly want, and operating from a space of empowerment is pretty awesome and creates good feelings all around.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we start this whole deliberate creation thing, we may expect an easy ride, full of warm fuzzies and all sorts of great things pouring in from every corner. But, then after a bit, we may start to run into some unpleasantness. This attracting thing is not as easy as it is made out to be\u2014it actually is, but we just make it harder in countless ways, but as time goes on, we will get out of our own way with greater frequency.<\/span><\/p>\n

We start experiencing things we didn’t expect, things that really don’t feel good. The disillusionment, fear and doubt start to grow. We may not be feeling good all the time, and we feel badly about feeling badly, which just makes it worse. There is a part of us that really resonates with the principles of attraction and we get it in theory, but it is not trickling down into that space of true knowing at the pace we might have expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I wanted to talk about a few things that many people experience once they start this ‘work,’ and my thoughts on handling these snafus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, before that, I wanted to let you know about a FREE call I will be doing about law of attraction and money. It will take place on January 26th from 8 to 9 pm EST. I will be hosting it through Anymeeting, and there will be no registration necessary. You can find the log link here<\/a>. You will learn some helpful nuggets for making yourself more magnetic to money, and will have the opportunity to ask questions–there is a chat feature available if you are shy about speaking up. Looking so forward to it. And now back to the post….<\/span><\/p>\n

Lowered Tolerance for Your Current Circumstances<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, you stumbled upon this law of attraction thing, and you realized that you can create whatever life you so desire, you have immense power to mold your reality and there is never any reason to settle for anything less than what you want. We create our experience from the inside out, and this is how it works for everybody no matter who you are, where you live, your race, your religion, gender or what your life has been like up until now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Discovering this truth can really put a pep in our step. Seeing a world of possibilities where there was once nothing feels pretty great. Knowing we call the shots, and nothing outside of us can truly affect our life, or ‘get in the way’ opens up a whole new way of looking at the world and that of which we are capable.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, discovering this truth often comes with a downside. You may find yourself developing a lower tolerance for the undesirable aspects of your life as it is in this moment. Now that you know you just don’t have to ‘make the best of it,’ ‘accept your lot’ or keep living in denial about how you really feel because you believe you can’t change any of it, you want things to change, and you want it NOW. This existence is no longer acceptable, and the resistance to your current state of affairs is growing.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is understandable. Once we realize things can actually change, we want it yesterday. You have always been kind of unhappy with certain elements of your life, but may not have fully acknowledged the extent of it. Now that you have, it can feel a bit more intense.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll have your moments of disgust, frustration and whatever..it’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up about it. But, it is important to work on shifting this type of energy to the best of your ability. These types of feelings can put a dent in our vibration, and not liking how things are now is naturally going to lead to us noticing the absence of what we would prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n

A strong focus on what is still missing will keep things missing…this state of mind is not conducive to manifesting because we have to feel now (at least most of the time) how we would feel if we already had what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we will most quickly attract what we want when we can embody the feelings that lie behind it in this moment, you want to focus your attention on things that deliberately make you feel good, and develop more positive perspectives that are genuinely positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this means you don’t have to pretend to like your a-hole boss, the job you really hate, or anything else that is really not working for you. While we can technically feel good no matter what is happening, love everyone, and what have you, we all naturally have our preferences and that’s fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what you can do is make the deliberate effort where to shift your focus so you are building genuine positive momentum. Maybe you don’t love your job or your boss, but you are really good at what you do, and your clients love you, or you have really great work friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you are trying to build a nice online business on the side and absolutely love writing your blog posts, and interacting with your readers\u2014really step into the good feelings that arise when engaged in those activities. Visualize this endeavor becoming a success.<\/span><\/p>\n

See the seeds that are there right now that indicate better things can happen for you. Make time to do things that make you feel good and take your mind off what you might not like. I know I sound like a broken record with the whole ‘do things that make you feel good’ advice, but I can’t stress the importance of this enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peeved about Manifestations of Those Who Aren’t Doing the ‘Work’<\/span><\/h2>\n

Law of attraction is always working for everyone, whether they realize it or believe it. The thing is, we are largely unaware of the force, and we are not really in the driver’s seat. The whole attraction thing is going strong 24\/7, but most of our manifesting is happening unconsciously.<\/span><\/p>\n

Law of attraction is not some special force that is only activated by the few who become aware of our power. Before I learned about all this stuff, I had plenty of good things happen to me. I definitely had some limiting beliefs, but plenty of generally positive ones too. I imagine this is true for many of you reading this. You may not have been attracting the highest possibilities, but you were still a match for all sorts of good things.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember being awesome at job interviews, and always being very confident. The way I saw it, if someone was calling me to come in, he considered me suitable for the position, and the actual interview was just some sort of formality. There was only ever one job I applied to that I wasn’t offered, and I had a bunch of weird energy around it anyway. This was just how I was…there was no pumping myself up, visualizing, shifting any sort of beliefs. I had no blocks around this area, and it showed in my ability to attract job offers with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is easy to forget sometimes that this force that creates everything we see and experience is neutral. It is not judging, deciding or doing anything else that us humans do. It can’t give you something you want because you have wisened up, and realized how things really work, because you are a good person or because you are trying hard. It doesn’t see you as more ‘worthy’ of manifesting something good as compared to other people, because you are working consciously with your energy so diligently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing to keep in mind as well when you feel yourself getting kind of jealous, or feeling a sense of unfairness when people who are not doing the ‘work’ seem to be getting stuff you aren’t, is to keep in mind you have no idea what other people’s manifestations mean to them, why they manifested it, how they feel about it, so on and so forth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s take relationships for example. There are a million different reasons someone could attract a person into her life in a romantic sense\u2014it doesn’t necessarily mean she has some love-friendly vibration, is aligned for romantic bliss or whatever. For all you know, this partner could represent all sorts of negative things for that person, things that mirror negative beliefs she has. Again, we have no idea what a manifestation means to a person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically, we don’t have to do anything to attract something. Feeling super-good is actually not absolutely necessary to get something\u2014the most important ingredient is lack of resistance. But, doing some ‘stuff’ and working on feeling good is usually a necessary part of the equation because we may have a lot of deeper blocks around a particular type of manifestation and it just won’t go away, and we really don’t feel good about our ability to get something, so we have to shift that. Just getting to neutral may not be sufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, when you are really going for bigger and bolder things that you probably never thought possible to have previously, we usually need to raise our vibration pretty high, which means feeling good is a very important part of the equation. You don’t just want any relationship, any job or something that is just ‘good enough.’ You want the whole enchilada in all its glory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The feeling good makes attracting a lot easier\u2014the more we feel good, the more we attract. The more we attract, the more we trust. The more we trust, the easier it is to get out of the way, and let the Universe work its magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t mess up your manifesting game by paying attention to what is happening with other people. Don’t overanalyze their life and what they are doing, don’t compare. None of it ultimately matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased Anxiety Surrounding Negative Thoughts and Feelings<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because of the importance of our thoughts, beliefs and feelings in attracting what you want, it is easy to get hyper-vigilant about our emotional state, and thoughts in any given moment. You may not be shifting a particular belief as quickly as you would like, and it is bumming you out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we are aware of what is really at the core of creating our reality, it is easy to become really anxious about our struggles to make the necessary shifts, and our negative thoughts and feelings. We realize we are the ones in control, and we don’t want to keep ‘messing things up.’ There may be a fear that all the negative will just wipe out all the good momentum we have been trying to build.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, it really doesn’t work like that. Our vibration is a mish mash of a whole bunch of stuff. As you shore up your energy, and start feeling positive more of the time, that is all getting ‘banked.’ You just need to work on getting that to be dominant.<\/span><\/p>\n

A stray negative thought here and there, or bad mood, is not going to have a disastrous impact on your manifesting efforts. To monitor every thought we have would be next to impossible, and with the volume we are dealing with, and the nature of the human mind, some fears, doubts and negativity is bound to slip in here and there. But if we practice just releasing them, and not paying them mind, they will pass more quickly without picking up any extra steam.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not really the negative thoughts and feelings that will do us in during these times, it is our resistance to them. When we are fighting them, we are giving them more power, and adding on some extra layers of negativity courtesy of our strong disdain for their presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we ar are focusing on a negative feeling, the worse it will feel. The more we focus on a negative thought, the more negative thoughts we will attract; and the more likely it is the negativity will trickle down into the feeling realm, where we may have previously been feeling relatively good, despite these sorts of thoughts popping in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, there will be times when it is a good idea to examine our negative thoughts, beliefs and feelings more deeply to see what is going on within. There may be some things we need to figure out to really and truly make significant shifts ,and release things, that are not serving us. But, don’t feel so anxious about it. I am talking about the big things that are really pervasive, like deep money worries and the like. You’ll know when it is time to examine and just time to put your focus elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, you have bought into some stuff that is not exactly empowering and positive; your view of yourself may not be super-awesome, and doing a total 180 on all of this by the weekend probably won’t happen, and it doesn’t need to for good things to start coming into your experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attracting things is way easier than we think it is, and it really doesn’t take as much effort as we think…but to get to this point of ‘ease,’ we have to wade through some muddy waters first, and clean some things up vibration-wise. And the more we raise it, the easier things get. The resistance weakens, the negative thoughts and feelings become less frequent and intense, and the beliefs begin to transform.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Closing….<\/span><\/h2>\n

No matter what is popping up for you, it is serving you somehow. There is something there that will be helpful for you in your manifesting journey. If you have set intentions for what you want, you are moving towards it, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. Think of all the great things you may have manifested already, since you started this work and even before. This will shore up your trust, and give you a nice emotional boost. When things aren’t going as great, show yourself some love, and be more accepting of these moments. Being perfect is not a requirement for creating great stuff, always remember that.<\/span><\/p>\n
