Yes, but HOW do I manifest?
In the woo-woo world of manifesting, there are gurus galore giving advice on how to call in your desires.
There’s a whole movie on the topic - you may have seen The Secret.
You don’t have to look very hard to find more people charging you to learn how to “get more money” than you know what to do with. I’ve discovered it’s rather simple in concept and most people are trying way too fucking hard.
Here are the basics:
💡 You ask for what you want.
😍 Believe it can and will happen.
🤩 Imagine how you will feel when you get what you've asked for.
❤️ Appreciate and express gratitude when it happens.
When it comes down to it, though, most people are left asking themselves What am I doing wrong? when day after day, they don’t have that thing they have asked for. What the hell Universe? Where’s my new man, that sporty car or millions in my bank account?
It can feel as if there’s some secret ingredient that’s missing or you’re doing it wrong. In reality, it’s usually not what’s missing that is the problem. It’s what’s stuck in the way. It’s the thing you can’t see that’s blocking your desires.
Limiting Beliefs.
We all have them. We usually don’t even notice they are there.
Limiting beliefs are simply things you believe to be true because you’ve thought them for so long. When you actually look at it, you can poke holes in it. You can ask yourself, wait, is this ultimately true?
For example, you want a new relationship, but all you do is complain about how much online dating sucks and constantly say things like: All the good men are taken. It doesn’t matter how many times you journal out your list of all the qualities of your perfect man or visualize him standing in front of you or FEEL him next to you. If you are sending out mixed signals to the universe, you’re getting in your own way. You are blocking your desires. You’re limiting your potential. These thoughts are your limiting beliefs.
Now when it comes to money, most of us are walking around with some really messed up ideas. We are carrying so many limiting beliefs about money and our ability to get more of it. There are so many layers to the crazy limiting beliefs about money and it can be quite complex to dig into your own. Our society simultaneously glamorizes & criticizes the uber wealthy.
Well, how are we supposed to call in more money if we also think those people who have lots of it are greedy or bad? Why would the universe give you something you actually don’t want?
Here are some of the more common limiting beliefs around money:
Money is the root of all evil
Rich people are just assholes
Money is always running out.
There’s never enough.
People who drive expensive cars are pretentious.
It takes money to make money.
It’s fascinating to me to listen to people talk about money, those who have it and those who don’t. We all have opinions, thoughts and ideas, but when we really stop to ask ourselves why we believe that or if it’s actually true, we will start to uncover the lies we tell ourselves. And THAT my friends is how you manifest more money. Tell yourself the truth. Shed the limiting beliefs and then go back up to the top of this post and try those manifesting steps again.
I’d love to hear your limiting beliefs about money. What have you been telling yourself? Comment below!
As always, if you need help identifying what’s keeping you stuck or what’s blocking your desires, we should work together!
