Getting a bit frustrated with your efforts to manifest something? Do things not seem to be working? Is this whole law of attraction thing turning out to be a lot harder than you expected? Are you super-pissed at yourself for not being able to let in what you want?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you filled with a sense of despair that you will never get what you want? Do you feel like you have failed? Are you convinced there is some vibrational defect that is apparently beyond repair and you might as well just accept your lot as it is in this moment?<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a sucky place to be, and many people who begin working consciously with their energy, have been here at one point. You are not alone. I have been here at certain times, and I get how frustrating it is to struggle with this whole ‘creating our own reality’ thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In today’s post, I share three insights that I think are particularly helpful for seeing what’s up vibrationally, getting back on track and rediscovering your enthusiasm for conscious creation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Have You Been Glossing Over?<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest reasons people have trouble manifesting is the mistaken belief that we must get all happy 24\/7, focus on the positive, and just ignore the negative. We pretend things don’t bother us that really do; we think we have to start loving things we hate, or just roll with the punches when it comes to undesirable elements of our immediate reality, lest our negative energy will screw it all up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discomfort in various forms may surface, but we stuff it back down. We go into denial.<\/span><\/p>\n

There may be a fear that copping to what is really going on will somehow make it more intense, that it will become an even bigger barrier. But that is not going to happen. The acknowledging is the very thing that will fix the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

On some level, we believe we can ‘hide’ this from the Universe, and it can just give us what we want anyway. But it is in our vibration, and it can’t ever be defied, not ever, ever, ever. We can’t just pretend our way through consciously creating our reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, you have to ask yourself..what have you been glossing over?<\/span><\/p>\n

What isn’t feeling good that you are simply ignoring, rationalizing or minimizing?<\/span><\/p>\n

What fears and beliefs are still strong that you are pretending aren’t strong?<\/span><\/p>\n

What energies are still in your life that are diluting whatever positive momentum you are banking?<\/span><\/p>\n

What things are you still doing that you don’t want to be doing, or feel painful, hard or draining, but are powering through anyway, feeling like there is no other choice but to grin and bear it for now?<\/span><\/p>\n

What boundaries need to be set but haven’t in order to make you feel better? Or have you tried to set boundaries but have been inconsistent with applying them?<\/span><\/p>\n

If something is going left unexplored, or you are not fully admitting to how you really feel about something, your vibrational feedback will keep alerting you to it. The more you ignore it, the louder the feedback gets, and that is when the bigger, nastier manifestations start to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is when you get potentially get sucked even further into the pit and away from what you want, and bouncing back becomes more challenging because the resistance will just continue to build.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like some of you may already know from reading my list email from Monday, I manifested a nasty spill on my scooter earlier in the day. The road by our house is rocky, unpaved and uneven, and it can be a bit treacherous.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was going super slow, but managed to wipe out anyway. Falling on such a surface scratched\u00a0and bruised up\u00a0my leg up real good. The bike landed right on top of it, and I can’t really walk.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, I really didn’t feel too strongly about this manifestation either way…I was kind of in neutral space emotionally. Physically, I was in pain, but it really wasn’t bothering me. I knew it served a purpose, but nothing was really happening at the moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, the next day, I had a lot of stuff come up, stuff that I was glossing over. The frustration of not being able to walk brought out frustrations I had about other things too. This wasn’t some monster accident, nor had I been suppressing anything big time, but nonetheless, I was. And this incident was enough for me to look more closely.<\/span><\/p>\n

I went with it, and that led to other things surfacing, things I really didn’t even realize I felt or thought so strongly. I had a nice good cry, and talked it out with Ryan. Some of this stuff didn’t make any sense ‘logically,’ or seemed kind of silly.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter how small something seems, how irrational, or whether or not you think you ‘should’ be feeling particular feelings or thinking particular thoughts. Don’t judge, just let it up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, even people like me, who are so good at explaining this attraction thing, that are really good at helping others shift their energy, have their ‘stuff’ too. And look at all the awesome crap I have been able to manifest. You don’t need to be perfect, trust me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I speak from experience when I say how important it is to be honest with ourselves about what is really happening inside, what we are thinking and feeling. This is by far the most helpful thing that has allowed me get more advanced in my manifesting and shift my energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the moment, it will feel really freaking uncomfortable, but this is almost always a necessary piece of the puzzle when we are feeling really stalled in our manifesting efforts and nothing seems to be going as we hope. There is something there that needs to be brought out into the light, examined and cleared.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honestly Assess Your ‘Efforts’ at Shifting Your Energy<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like I discussed in my last post<\/a>, the theory of attraction and actually manifesting in our current vibrational reality can be quite different. Technically we don’t need to do a damn thing but decide what we want, feel good about getting it, and taking inspired action when it strikes.<\/span><\/p>\n

We actually don’t even really need the action part at all, but most of us probably can’t truly buy into the belief we don’t have to do anything; for the most part, we kind of want to take action and participate in our manifestations..but I digress as I often do.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if we had no resistance, this would really be all that is required, but we do. This means that there will be some degree of effort involved in shifting our energy, reforming our self-image and releasing beliefs that are not serving us.<\/span><\/p>\n

This work doesn’t have to be painful or take hours a day, but there has to be some degree of consistency, at least for a period, until we more naturally enter a feel-good space, and there is less resistance around what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to be honest with yourself here…have you really been doing what is required of you to make the shifts?<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be times when we really need to step into our shitty feelings and feel them.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be times when visualizing will be super-important because it helps us get clear, and helps us build momentum behind the energy we want to cultivate more strongly.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be times when we have to be willing to step back from action and ways of being that are interfering. We can’t manifest with greater ease, unless we are willing to step back and trust the Universe has got this.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be times when we have to make a deliberate effort to spend our time in ways that make us feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

How well you have really detached from what you want?<\/span><\/p>\n

How much do you really believe you will get this thing?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have really been struggling, I guarantee that you will find that perhaps you haven’t been ‘trying as hard’ as you claim to have been trying. And it’s okay..just own it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will feel a hell of a lot better<\/b><\/i> realizing the struggles are resulting from being a bit of a manifesting slacker, and you can turn things around with some renewed commitment, than to be convinced that you are doing everything right, and for some unknown reason, things don’t seem to be working.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are You Making the ‘What’ the ‘How’?<\/span><\/h2>\n

This one can be a bit tricky because naturally we have our sights set on specific manifestations. We have desires for specific things, and we believe having them will make us feel good in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we are entitled to want whatever we want. But, sometimes, without realizing it, we make what<\/b><\/i> we want the how<\/b><\/i>. We have our sights set on a specific set of feelings, way of life and what have you, and can easily be convinced that only certain things can fulfill this vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

We get very attached to how things are supposed to look, and what needs to happen for us to feel like we have ‘succeeded’ with our manifestation. Anything else would be failure, or not as satisfying plain and simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when we do this, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to manifest these particular things. We are constantly noticing their absence. We have a really hard time feeling good now, in this very moment. There is great difficulty in just going with the flow, and enjoying the manifesting process.<\/span><\/p>\n

We close ourselves off to countless other manifestations that will give us exactly what we want; we shut the door on things that may be an even better representation of our ultimate desire.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you claim to want may not be what you actually truly want..your higher self knows what is best,(and I don’t mean that in a mom knowing what is best for her kid kind of way) and wants to help you line up with it, but we get in the way by being so attached to certain things.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you may be very attached to growing your current business venture\u2014nothing wrong with that, but in being so convinced that this is the only way you can feel accomplished, make money and all that other stuff, you keep out other opportunities that can give you all that you seek just the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can still find success with this venture if that is what you really want, or you might find yourself going off in another direction. But, no matter what, it will be all good because whatever you manage to manifest will feel just like what you want, and that is all you are after ultimately, a feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you decided that money is the only way to live a better life or get the things you want? When things are a bit weak in the money department, it is very easy to determine that is crux of our current problems, and that is we had more, all would be well. But, lots of the stuff you think you need money for, you actually don’t. A lot of what you truly want has very little to do with money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Really ponder whether you are making your ‘what’ the ‘how.’ You may be surprised at the insights you gain, insights that will be tremendously helpful in getting unstuck. When you open yourself up to more possibilities, you will begin to see manifestations that will restore your faith in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Closing…<\/span><\/h2>\n

I hope that if you are feeling really frustrated with your law of attraction efforts, something in this post resonated with you, and will provide something to chew on.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how far away you may seem from what you want, or how ‘unsuccessful’ your efforts have been up until this point, it is no way an indicator you can’t have what you want, or that your vibration is beyond repair.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can take a bit of practice to get things moving in the right direction, feeling and belief-wise. Just doing a 180 isn’t likely to happen, and it doesn’t need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

You most likely have had some manifestations that showed you were moving in the right direction, but dismissed them. You may have been presented solutions that you rejected for seeming too easy or for some other weird objection presented by your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have probably been doing better than you are giving yourself credit for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just step back and reassess. Let your intuition guide you. Be willing to move gradually than make huge leaps..to your mind that seems like it will take longer, but it will actually move you along much more quickly because there will be less resistance. You have to be willing to be a bit patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things don’t necessarily need to take a long time, but you may not get your full-fledged manifestation immediately. It’s okay. Learn to enjoy the journey a bit more.<\/span><\/p>\n
