When we don't like what we've got, conscious creators can turn to the story we tell as our first and most important tool of change.
We have to stop telling it like it is if we expect it to be any different.
Waiting for reality to cue us for a new story makes for a long wait. Because reality awaits our cue - through how we speak and think it into being.
What if we thought of the year in terms of dominant vibration, rather than goals, desires or resolutions?
This episode invites you to consider what you'd like to feel in 2022 rather than what things you'd like to manifest ...
Acclimating to what we want is a process. Even after our desire manifests in physical reality, that doesn't mean our alignment practice is done.
I found out the hard way that just because it got here doesn’t mean it has to stay here if we don’t continue the frequency that brought it in.
One of the most common questions conscious creators ask is how many times they should engage their manifesting exercise. How long does it need to be? How often should they be doing it?
The answers depends partly on how active your gremlins are on the subject. Something that's harder to believe in will take more work than something you easily expect ...
Since Universe can't change until we do, it's worth knowing what internal change is - and isn't.
It isn't giving up the vision when reality doesn't morph fast enough for you. It isn't taking your vibrational cue from current external circumstances.
True change is when we're able to hold the vibration of what we want regardless of what is or isn't happening out there. That's wisdom from the kitten tamers.
What did my scale, my tech support, and my Great Pyrenees all have in common? They're each giving me a chance to practice unconditional living ...
That's where we don't require things to change before we feel better right here and now. Because if we can't like it here, we won't like it anywhere.
There are three core skills essential to every conscious creator’s success.
Without these, we’ve got a significant handicap in our LOA game.
But once we have all three practices fully honed, we become manifesting maestros ...
When a fellow creator shared positive news and I heard myself enviously responding, "I'd love to be able to say that," I knew that was my cue to start speaking it so.
We're continually speaking and thinking and feeling our way into our next reality, so sometimes we have to be willing to say it before it's true in order to make it so.
Sometimes our culture/communities promote values that don't support our LOA game. That's when it can seem like conscious creators have to choose between exercising strong manifesting skills or earning social approval.
What's a savvy creator to do when socially acceptable values like humility, selflessness and hard work oppose key manifesting principles like self-love and effortlessness?
Are you living by muggle protocols? If so, it might be time for a change.
Here are five manifesting protocols for conscious creators.
Pro tip: hack this list to create your own custom practices for best results.
My latest reminder that we live into the stories we tell, no matter how unlikely they may seem.
In fact, the more we tell it, the stronger the likelihood it's coming to fruition. The odds are in favor of whatever story we speak into being.
We can stop trying to figure it all out ourselves and instead learn to rely more on our inner Harvey ...
That's that wise, connected part of ourselves that knows the best way and the best timing to dreams come true.
When we can figure out how to love what we want even when we don't yet "have" it, even when everyone else seems to have it so effortlessly, even when it seems like something we should have had by now, even when we're staring at our own failures right under our nose ... that vibrational switch from missing it/failing at it/mad about it to the vibration of appreciation/enjoyment of it requires Universe to grow more.
That goes for our money, our relationships, our lovers, our health, our material desires, our skills, our creations, our professional aspirations - all our dreams.
Including black-eyed Susans in the garden.
It can be frustrating when the thing we want manifests once we stop needing it to.
How are we supposed to stop wanting and needing the things we really want and (believe we) need?
There’s an easy remedy: get better at liking what we’ve already got.
When we get better at not needing the next thing to unfold because we realize there’s already plenty to enjoy, we’ll see all the good things flow like magic.
When will we stop trying to figure out how to get what we want, and instead listen to the source that already knows?
We each have an inner wisdom that knows the way to our desires. Whatever we want, our inner guidance knows the perfect timing, the perfect people, the perfect places, the perfect words, the perfect actions - all we have to do is listen and honor it.
When I realized Harvey was reading my mind, I got new inspiration to clean up the thoughts and images I held about him.
But the truth is we each have a mind reader in the house, responding to every thought we engage.
Which is why this is a good time to get better at imagining what we prefer instead of letting our minds wander into unhelpful territory ...
For fellow creators wondering about investment vehicles, insurance plans, debt management, or anything else related to managing their money, there's one question worth asking first that will make all the difference about what results you get.
How we treat ourselves is a demonstration to how the world should follow suit.
It's worth learning to demo self-love, in thought and action, so we're an easy match to receiving the best from the world around us.
Sometimes when we try too hard we get the opposite results we want.
There's manifesting magic to be had in chilling out and letting it come to you! (Magnus cuddles are proof of it.)
Whether it's a positive rave or a negative rant, whatever we put our attention on (especially attention that activates strong emotion), more of the same is coming ...
My simple manifesting story reminding us to trust inner guidance to let Universe make it even easier and even better ...
Sometimes knowing too much about what's possible and what isn't shuts down delivery of our desires.
Being willing to be wrong - and thus allowing a different reality to reveal itself - can be a sweet secret to success.
When a big decision needed to be made, I realized leading with doubt and confusion wasn't going to get me anywhere.
Activating alignment can sometimes be easier said than done to resolve tricky situations, but it's worth getting right ...
A growing pile of rocks in the garage was a tipoff that I might not be acting from an abundance mindset ...
It wasn't hard to see the correlation between skipping rocks and money. Maybe you'll get some inspiration from this personal insight, too.
What does the alignment journey look like when we find ourselves in despair and disempowerment?
We shouldn't be surprised when what feels better involves brief hits of outrage and revenge. I remembered this yet again when a nuisance airbnb came to a street corner near me ...
