How to Manfiest Question

 

 

 

I went out on a date recently with a guy that I knew wasn’t the one – but I said “yes” anyway thinking we could have some fun. Actually, I went out with him three times. However, there are definite things about this man that I am not attracted to. I want to get married and have a family. I don’t want to waste my time with someone that I know isn’t the one – but I also want to enjoy my life in the process. I feel guilty for seeing him and then I feel guilty for telling him that I don’t want to see him. I am also frustrated that what I want seems so far away – that sometimes I just say “yes” to keep from being alone. I don’t want to be insensitive and rigid but then I don’t want to be alone either. I’m frustrated and want some answers – or better yet – I want my true soul mate!

Maybe the real question here is —- Is this co-dependence, the plight of a perfectionist dreamer or are you just human? The answer may be to take a look at all three. First, let’s look at guilt, because when it comes to soaring – guilt is like molasses on your wings – it’ll keep you from flying until you let it go! A friend of mine once said to me, “guilt is optional.” I’ve never forgotten that statement. While there has been a rare occasion where I assess my actions to discover that the option of guilt is justified – I have generally set myself free from the purgatory that habitual, co-dependent type guilt has caused in my past. I simply ask myself – did I make this decision in alignment with my higher values? If the answer is “yes” – then my intentions are to be honest and loving and I do not choose the option of guilt. I pray: “Divine Peace is now established within the hearts of everyone involved and I am grateful that God is at work in this situation, now. I release this in love and I let it go.”

We are not responsible for the feelings or reactions of others, we are only responsible for how we choose to feel and react to others. Second, since time is important to you – let’s not waste any by trying too hard to understand the problem. Instead – let’s focus on solutions and on attracting what you really want. As a creative life coach, that’s my job – to remind my clients that you will NEVER attract what you ideally desire with your attention on “what you don’t want.”

It can be useful to glance at the problem – simply to gain enough insight to derive more of what you are wanting but only long enough to make new decisions and launch new desires. We are radiant beings that draw into our lives – the very things and effects we put our attention upon.

Therefore, if you are a magnet, do you want to magnetize steel or iron fillings? Stephen Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People says “Begin with the end in mind.” This is an important aspect of intentional attraction because the creative mechanism is Teleological. What’s that? Teleology is the study of final causes – especially as it relates to the circumstances and events leading up to the final event. This science indicates that every thing happens not in isolation of each other but were actually caused by the final event. I’m sharing this with you to make a point – every date, every stare, every conversation, every interaction with a potential mate is an opportunity for you to more vividly recognize and determine what you ideally want. Then from this state of increased awareness influence the final event (the right one) to ensure that you are indeed attracting exactly what you desire and nothing less. I have experienced more breakthroughs and seen more personal growth in my clients from this ONE tip – and that is — to joyously appreciate all “the signs of land” along the way. I use this in my workshops frequently.

In Florence Scovel Shinn’s, The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn, she conveys the importance of looking for the “signs of land.” When Christopher Columbus’ crew cried mutiny – he was rescued from the plank by the seagull that sailed over head and by the twigs and timber that floated under toe because if there are birds and plant life – then they must be close to land. Therefore, if you can truly appreciate every interaction as a “sign of land” then you will keep sailing and eventually hit the homeland. The other option is to look at a date, get frustrated that he’s not the one and then jump ship – when just through the fog awaits your ideal mate on the beach with a coconut “frou-frou”- drink in his hand and a smile on his face. The “one” may not be the first, second, third or even tenth rock you hit but if you appreciate the experience then you will continue moving forward instead of backwards. If you don’t appreciate this sign of land as an opportunity then you’ve just aborted the vision by being focused on the negative – instead of the positive. For example, if you get a date with a guy that’s as boring as a boulder and complain, “this isn’t what I want! I’m not attracted to this one at all.” Then in essence you turn your ship around and lose every opportunity to discover – what is it I like about this one? What is it I don’t like – and what is the opposite that I now know I want? What about me might have attracted these qualities in him? What thoughts do I have that may be limiting and be attracting limiting qualities in a mate? And, what do I need to improve in my personality to become more of what I want in a mate and therefore be in harmony with what I want?

Remember – where there are signs of land – there must be land! Stay focused on your desires, be true to your heart and values, be grateful for all your interactions, make decisions that bring you Peace, Joy and greater Vitality and you will absolutely hit your homeland. After all, the soul mate that you desire – desires you!

How to Manfiest Question

Any advice for handling the stress of the moment when the income is just enough, the person is living paycheck to paycheck (applying for better jobs) and there is a sudden crisis — an unexpected bill?

Law of Attraction Help

There’s only one thing to do: Let it all go!

Here’s the problem: when you feel stress then all you can attract is more to feel stressed about. The Universe responds to your vibration of “hand to mouth” and willingly supplies you with just enough income to continue living “hand to mouth”, on the treadmill of “earn, spend what I earn, earn spend what I earn, earn… etc.”

This fear-fueled treadmill actually sets up a vibration that creates the unexpected bill or emergency. It’s unavoidable that a sudden crisis will arise just because you are always feeling like “there’s never enough to get ahead.”

Therefore, let it all go! When you surrender to what IS, you release the resistance that holds it in place. You may not be able to un-create what is currently on the table (or not on the table) but at bare minimum you will be getting off that vibrational treadmill of lack!

I realize this is difficult but it has to be done if you want to create something better for yourself. Do not allow yourself to be the victim of your own thoughts. You have to be a crusader against stress! It is impossible to create prosperity when what you see and affirm in your reality is the opposite of prosperity – even if that’s the truth.

Even if what is really happening looks like: “I earn $1200.00 per month and my bills are $1400! How can I afford to…” I’m not suggesting that you deny what is happening or that you abandon hope. I’m suggesting you surrender to what is happening and choose to accept it without resignation. Surrender to the reality without giving up.

 What this might look like is:

“I surrender to this being the way that it is. I can’t do anything about it in this moment anyway, so I might as well accept it. I let it all go; knowing that somehow this is all perfect. Somehow this is part of the Divine Plan for my life and I accept it. God doesn’t make mistakes and therefore, it is no mistake that this is happening to me now. I’ve been through worse situations (or I know others have been through worse situations) and I’ll survive this one too! It’s all going to work out. It always does.” When you feel worried or apprehensive, walk your surrendering process through the worst case scenario. For example, “If the worst possible thing that could happen, happens – so be it! There’s a Divine Order to life and I surrender to that order, now. If it’s meant to be that “this horrible thing happens” then I’ll live with that. I accept it. I’m at Peace with it and I let it go.” Now, TELL the Universe what you want. Once you’re at peace (but not complacent) with what is then you want to redirect your energy to be on target with what you want. Speak your truth as fervently as you surrendered! “I’m at Peace with what is but what I WANT Universe is an abundant supply to handle any issue easily and effortlessly. I want to feel totally secure with my life, my future and myself. What I want is to feel at peace and enthusiastic about my finances. I want to be content, knowing I can purchase anything I desire, when I desire it in cash. I want to know that I have an unlimited supply that is instantaneously at my fingertips whenever I desire it!” Get the lavish picture you’ve just created? You’ll know you’ve changed your vibrational point of attraction when you FEEL more at ease and confident.

Then, if you can muster the energy and focus, you want to do two more things: 1) Change your words from “I want” to “I intend to have this.” And 2) let it go again! “I let this go knowing this or something better for my highest good is in my life now.”

I add the last two instructions as the optimal handling of the situation because sometimes it’s difficult to work up the gumption to start off saying, “Universe I intend to be rich, rich, rich!” – when you can barely pay the auto-repair person to let your car out of hock. Therefore, always start with what you WANT then when you’re feeling confident let it go with the intention that you will not rest until you have this! Have yourself a little spiritual temper tantrum and by God, the Universal Fairies will respond to your desires now!

How to Manfiest Question

I have read & purchased many books on creating abundance and it does not seem to be working. My income has not increased and I am very frustrated. I am an avid reader and try to implement what I’ve read into real life and I see no results.

Law of Attraction Help

Let me first acknowledge that your feeling of frustration is normal and for some, enough to say, “I give up and I’m going to stop trying to use this nonsense.” And, should you decide you’re ready to stop trying, that may be the very best medicine for the situation!

You have probably heard the story of the many couples who have been trying desperately to have a child and they even go through all the infertility programs, invitro processes and any other tool known to modern science but still can’t get pregnant. Finally they say, “Forget it! We give up!” And they adopt a child. Then, as if by some strange miracle, after they adopt, they get pregnant. The modern science term for this is psychogenic infertility. I would call this the activation of the Law of detachment and the Law of allowing.

So, if you are trying really hard to manifest more money and it just isn’t happening – then give up! (Apply the Law of Detachment) Allow yourself to say okay, forget this and instead ask yourself what you can do (physically) now to feel better about your situation. (Apply the Law of Allowing) The answer may be cut expenses, sell possessions, ask for help, consolidate debts, and/or take a second or third job. It doesn’t matter what the answer is it only matters that you do something NOW to get yourself in a better “feeling” place about your life and finances.

The issue is really about how you feel. It is impossible to manifest anything that you want when you feel frustrated. All that you will be able to manifest from this place of frustration will be more things to be frustrated about. I would suggest that your next order of business would be to surrender to things being the way they are right now – forever. In surrendering to the way things are, what you actually do is release your resistance to having them be in your life. When you release resistance, you let go of the vibrational rope that has been holding the poverty in your experience in the first place.

One way to do this is to make a list of the 50 things in your life that you feel negative, frustrated or angry about. Then take each and every one and surrender to “this is the way it is and possibly will always be. I’m not going to fight this anymore. This experience (be specific) is in my life now whether I fight it or not and I’m just NOT going to fight it anymore. It is what it is and I let it go. If this is what is part of the Divine Plan for me then so be it. I surrender to the Divine Order of life and accept it as perfect now!”

Once you feel “okay” and at peace with the way life is today. Then you can begin fantasizing about what else you would like and thereby attract more. However, stay aware of how you are feeling and if you feel frustrated then know that you are not allowing your good. Maintain a sense that all is well and you will be in alignment with the greater good that you previously and currently desire!

Additionally, before you take drastic action please recognize that if you do something life changing, and drastic before aligning your energy then you will not be happy with those results either. For example, if quitting your job today feels right then know that you can’t get it wrong. However, you must also know that whatever feeling you leave your job today with — is the feeling that you are creating your new job with. In other words, if you don’t want another job that’s worse or at best – just like this one – then you have to heal your feelings towards this job so that you can create anew.

One way to do this would be to forgive this current experience and everyone involved with it including you. For example, you can bless this job as being what you needed up until now and perfect in every way. If you really want to leave it behind, then bless it until you feel totally at peace with it being exactly what you needed in your life up until now. Then bless whatever comes next as perfect in every way.

When you do make a decision, be FEARLESS! Bless your decisions and bless your future. Don’t take action out of fear, anger, or frustration. If you only take action out of peace and love, then you will have an fun, easier time getting to your next positive adventure.

Question: I’m a widow, and I was left with nothing but problems. How do I manifest something better?
Hi Anisa, I am writing to you because my husband had a heart attack last Thursday and died, Sunday, August 26th, 2007. A lot of things happened to me that were not good. I really need help to attract better things into my life. My husband could not work because of alcohol and could not help me. I want better situations to come into my life. He did not leave me anything but problems with his family etc. Could you please give me some guidance or suggestions? Thanks, -B.

Question: How do I not attract narcissistic people?

I’d like to know about how to not attract people in my life that are extremely narcissistic, I’d like to use EFT with that but I would not know where to start. I have two siblings that are extremely narcissistic and since I have attracted narcissistic relationships. I need to stop that and not be attracted to that. – Kathy

Dear Kathy,

Remember that whatever we put our attention upon expands, so first you’ll want to fully accept, love, and appreciate what has been so that the feeling of love (as opposed to repulsion) is what you begin to project. Start with a list of all the things you DON’T like about narcissistic people, then use EFT to get rid of each and every emotion surrounding this list.

Question: I’m panicked about debt! How do I use the Law of Attraction to manifest prosperity?

Hello Anisa,

I stumbled upon your site while looking for ways to manifest prosperity. Something I would have never thought of if not for a friend who sent me to the enlightened being website. I began searching the net and found your site.

I’m currently part time and I was in college but quit after I found out it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I have about $20,000.00 in debt and 960 $ on my credit card.

I’m panicking because I really don’t know how I’m going to pay it all off!!!

I’m tired of having money problems. I would just love to finally be able to enjoy my life and not worry about being broke. What would you recommend I do to manifest wealth and prosperity?

Thank you, Melanie

Dear Melanie,

It’s really hard to manifest ‘getting out of debt’ when ‘debt’ is what is so clearly on our mind, isn’t it!?! First surrender to what is, then clear your limiting beliefs, then begin focusing on what you want instead. And, most importantly – follow your guidance, you will have to take divine inspired action courageously and boldly if you are to truly ‘manifest’ what you want.

Is there really any such thing as

Law of Attraction Help

No! There is not some outside force, doctrine, or prearranged destiny asserting itself upon us. However, in our knowledge that we are unlimited, and fully capable of creating our own reality with our thoughts, it’s easy to get caught up in our desires and kick ourselves for NOT creating more on target. This is terribly counterproductive.

When we get attached to what we want, we lose our power. By surrendering to what is meant to be, we play a game with our subconscious that allows us to let go of our attachment, and be at peace with whatever is. “Whatever is – IS. It’s neither good nor bad – it just IS.” By surrendering to “whatever is meant to be, will be,” we are simply making peace with life thereby releasing our resistance and creating a foundation of serenity upon which we may create intentionally our destiny/desires. We can shift our attention from “what IS” to what we want when we are at peace with what is.

Another way of saying what is “meant to be,” is to say, “I accept the fact that the Law of Attraction is at work here and now. The Divine Order is established and at this moment, I accept and appreciate this thing/situation to be the perfect manifestation of the Laws of Creation.

These Laws are always at work! Therefore everything is exactly as it’s meant to be now! I surrender and find total peace in the Laws of the Universe at work in my life now. I am at Peace knowing that the Law of Attraction is unchangeable, immutable, and unbiased and whatever I have created in this moment is perfect for my highest growth now. It can be no other way! If I have enacted the Law of Attraction to manifest “this experience” in my life, then I can enact it to unmanifest it and create something better. However, in this moment, I find total Peace knowing all is well. All is in perfect order and I relax and appreciate this now. I am at peace now.”

Law of Attraction Help

 

 

 

A client once told me, “I’m a lost soul with no purpose. Each day it gets worse. I need to “figure it out”, or why live? Nothing ever changes.” Because of my profession, people call me every day who feel that their lives are a “mess”, that they are victims of circumstances and situations that are out of their control, and who continue to re-live patterns of behavior that sabotage, defeat, and dis-empower their lives.

I noticed that these people who are desperate for change have several things in common. The first thing is that none of them EXPECT anything to change. This in turn feeds the same reoccurring habit – they are focused on what they do NOT want. The old habits, fears and prejudices that come from previous experiences rear their ugly heads. If we become frozen by our fears it is helpful to identify them, find out where they come from, and then finally learn the tools to release them. A friend asked once why she attracted the same type of man into her life over and over again. She then named several qualities, which she considered to be negative and did not want in a mate nor in a relationship. She had been focusing on that which she did not want, and coming from intense fear that each time she met a man he would “be just like the others”. She was feeling in a lack of what she really wanted and was coming from “that place.” Since like energy attracts like energy, (and her energy was full of fear), she had been creating in her reality exactly what she feared the most. She had been creating “by default.” I suggested to my friend that I teach her some tools to learn that would help to manifest her dreams – in all areas of her life. She was excited that she finally had a “place to start.”

One modality is Time Line Therapy ™, which was very effective in helping to eliminate limiting belief systems about herself and the world around her. It is also useful in resolving those unresolved negative emotions, such as fear, anger, guilt and sadness. Sometimes it may take getting to the root of the problem to understand where our patterns of behavior come from. Sometimes the unconscious mind represses memories (sometimes from trauma or “not so nice experiences”). With a simple technique, she understood where her issues stemmed from and was able to have a positive knowing from the experience. She was able to integrate it into her consciousness with understanding and awareness. Those old fears and limiting belief systems that she had incorporated into her life started to dissolve. She came to see that she is an unlimited perfect human being that is right where she needs to be, and that she is responsible for, and in control of, her own happiness. All she needed was some direction and the tools to do it!

The next step was to integrate this into her life NOW and help her create her future. She already knew what she didn’t want so it was easy to see the contrast and identify what she DID want. She started composing affirmations surrounding what she wanted in all areas of her life. We also used Time Line Therapy™ to insert goals in her future. This tool became invaluable to her. It entails not only visualizing what you want, but also FEELING what it is like to have the goal completed already – in the now, at the present time – and to feel appreciation and gratitude. It is also important to USE YOUR IMAGINATION and add all of the other senses to the picture: in other words, to give it life!

The “law of attraction” works: The universe cannot help but give you what you desire if your energy is positive, loving, joyous, and focused on what it is that you want. Using it will be of greatest benefit and will assist you in attracting ALL of your dreams into your reality.

Law of Attraction Help

When our story contains real experiences that caused us pain of any kind, we have a story that is sabotaging our ability to effectively apply the secret law of attraction.

Our “story” is akin to the Kraken of our Mental Sea! It lies submerged in the depths of our mind waiting to annihilate our self-confidence, our positive intentions and our dreams. When our ship comes in, it clambers through our mind so quickly and with such destructive force that sometimes we don’t even know what just happened. The only thing we know is that we just watched our ’ship’ sail by!

Our ’story’ is so familiar to us that, like the Kraken, we’ve heard the folk tales, but don’t believe it’s real or that our ’story’ could really be the cause of our sorrow. Therefore, its destructive force (the dream-wrecks that it leaves in its wake) is inexplicable, unidentifiable and deceptively invisible to our naked eye. We are left feeling indignant, dumbfounded and looking to blame someone or something (like the Universe) for our unfulfilled desires.

When limiting beliefs and negative emotions are present, whether we are aware of them consciously or not, they erode our positive intentions and thus prevent us from naturally creating what we want.

Like Perseus, you have to defeat the Kraken!

You have a couple of options and in my experience, they work better in unison. First, claim your unlimited potential with powerful, emotional, visions and affirmations of the life you want and the life you would have liked to have had (as if you actually had it). This alone, with enough commitment, consistency, persistence, faith, confidence, certainty, gratitude, faith, joy, love (and this list goes on and on) can be powerful enough to do he job.

Chances are, if you had enough faith to attract what you want with affirmations alone, you would have already done it.

Therefore, if your ’story’ is destroying your positive intentions, then this next option is the mental Kraken slayer for you!

Find and neutralize your story using the amazing power of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

For example, if love is what you desire and you don’t have enough of it in your current relationship or if you’re single, then ask yourself, “What are my most dominant feelings about this?”

And, if you’re honest with yourself, IF you don’t already feel GREAT and already have the LOVE you desire, then you’ll find that you feel disappointed, frustrated, impatient or even worse – apathetic and hopeless a portion of the time!

As long as your emotional ‘radio signal’ is broadcasting ANY message other than joy, love, acceptance, courage, optimism and peace you are actually repelling, rejecting, and preventing your optimal relationship from materializing.

For example, if you are already in a relationship – then what do you think happens when you feel that habitual feeling of disappointment when he/she does the ‘thing’ you asked them not to do or doesn’t do the ‘thing’ you asked
them to do?

I.e.…. Have you asked them to call when they’re going to be late and once again they don’t? And, you instantly feel slighted, unappreciated and hurt?

This same reaction happens over and over again with the many ’slights’ we perceive in our current relationships and with each new ‘emotional signal’ we send out – we actually cause more and more of the love we want to disappear.

What if, however, you could change your emotional signal -so that no matter what your partner does you feel connected? What if you could change your ’story’ and thereby change your reaction, your vibrational signal and restore your connection to ‘the Truth that all is well and in Divine Order’?

And, what if within this connection, you begin to apply the law of attraction in such a manner as to inspire them to start calling every time, etc.?

Wow – you’d not only feel better (the most important rule for any conscious creator) but you’d then stop getting what you don’t want and you’d start getting what you do want instead!!

Now, what if you’re single? If you’re single and you want a relationship, then what do you think happens when you go out on a date with a ‘dud’ and have that same feeling of, ‘all the good ones are taken’ and ‘I’ll never find someone I’m attracted to’?

This emotional signal only has to go out a very few times before it begins to CREATE and ATTRACT in your world the very thing you don’t want – more dud dates!

With EFT we can get in there and neutralize the ‘fear of the dud date’ and/or the ‘fear of being hurt’ that causes our habitual perceptions of reality (our mental Kraken).

Once neutralized, you can begin launching a peace-filled, intentional story that contains the vibration of hopefulness. From this place of peace, your creative visualizations are capable of reverberating back to you in full force to yield the relationship that you really, really want!

But what if your Mental Kraken is completely hidden to you? What if the story that continues to wreck your dreams of love, health, happiness and wealth is completely subconscious and you just can’t find it no matter how hard you try to hunt it down?

We all have elements of our past that we don’t individually recognize. We simply have to deal with what we think may be our story and use that as a starting point.

In my Attract a Mate with the Power of EFT and LOA eCourse, for those seeking to create (or re-create) a relationship, one of the first things we do is look at the ‘most common negative relationship stories’ and assume that it would be beneficial to neutralize them.

The audios walk the participant through the process of EFTing and then positively implanting what they want to create instead. Then, the workbook asks a great deal of questions meant to stimulate one’s individual ’story line’
in order to discover the unique negative beliefs and subconscious thoughts that are sabotaging their goals.

This same method can be applied to any mental Kraken that a person may have.

This is what conscious creation is all about – intentionally using the power of the mind to tap into the law of attraction with a ’story’ that serves as your magical alchemist; transforming your life into the fulfilled potential of your heart’s desires and your life’s purpose.

I have found that with EFT and LOA together, we help our inner negative thoughts get out of the way so that we can be the powerful co-creators that we were born to be!

It is said that “one must have as many goals as possible. One ideally must fill their life with 5000 goals, to be very wealthy, even small things must be included”. But there are many authors who say that one must have around 2-3 main goals and having too many of them would dissipate our energy. Which is actually true as these two seem to be going counter to each other? – Jai

Law of Attraction Help

What do the most successful and wealthiest people in the world have in common? They have written goals, they are willing to pay the price for achieving them and they put for the sustained effort to achieve them.

Did you know that 97% of the world’s population will never realize their full potential? Perhaps you’ve read “100 college student” study? The students that were the most successful (the top 3%) did only one thing different than those who were less successful: they wrote down their goals.

Did you also know that writing your goals down increases your odds of achieving them by 80%?

We set goals for clarity, purpose, fulfillment and intentionality. We use our goals as a means of clarifying what we want to achieve, as a compass for focused purposeful living and fulfillment and to simply utilize the powerful law of attraction.

Goal setting is a trait of a successful achiever. The simple act of committing to paper what you want to do, be and have serves as an effortless beacon, an attraction magnet to invite great things into your life.

Some experts say, “Always have a date attached to your goal” while others say, ‘no deadline, as a date only causes attachment and doubt’. Some will say, ‘focus on 3-6 goals at a time and forget all others’, while others say, ‘have as many goals as you possibly can.’

Guess what?!?! You get to explore and decide what works for you!

Play with goals and creative manifesting routines until you figure out what method or madness inspires you to your greatest success, while simultaneously recognizing that there are proven pathways of success and you don’t have to re-invent the wheel.

My suggestion is to set small, daily, achievable goals, interim milestone goals and your B-HAGs (Big, Harry, Audacious, Goals). Use the tried-and-true SMART goal-setting method (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) combined with my Living Vision in Divine Order process (give thanks and accept Divine Timing simultaneously.)
When you write your goals down, you are automatically applying the law of attraction. The Universe will begin to put circumstances and opportunities before you that will support you on your path towards success.
Here’s what I do…

Daily:

My Primary Focus Goals

Choose 2 to 3 goals (maximum) and put forth your full attention upon these objectives until they are fulfilled. I write these goals down daily. Taking daily, inspired action towards these primary focus goals on a consistent, daily basis will propel you to success. These goals get full living visions each and every day.

My ToDo list and God’s ToDo list

This is an Abraham exercise that is simply indispensable. This list includes any item that you have on your plate right now; from returning calls and emails, to praying for a friend, to writing thank you notes, to picking up the dry-cleaning to manifesting a million dollars for your new business venture. You have two columns on your ToDo list, your side (left) and God’s side (right). Anything that you can’t get done today or that you know you will not be doing today becomes God’s ToDo. Simply draw a line from your side to God’s and hand it over to Him/Her!

Top 6 Goals for Life

You can identify these goals by answering the question, “When I’m on my death bed (at 132) and I’m looking back on my life, if I have accomplished these top 6 goals then I will have lived a meaningful life that made a difference.” These top 6 goals are actually the materialization of your values.

I write these goals down every day because nothing that I do matters if it’s not in alignment with these top 6 goals. Immersing myself in the full intentionality and awareness that these guiding goals are the foundation upon which all of my activities must be based supports me in continually assessing my path in order to adjust accordingly.

My Victory Log and My Gratitude List

Nightly, I review my day for what I’m grateful for and any and all victories.

Weekly:

Top 10 Goals for Right Now

These goals allow me to focus on the project milestones and action items in a more detailed manner. By writing these down on Sunday and putting them at my desk or in my calendar as a reminder, I have my ‘bigger things first’ list right in front of me. I check them off one by one and review these goals several times a day to make sure I’m focused, productive, and on target.

All elephants must be reduced to bite-sized morsels! This is my ongoing list of project goals, milestones, action items, and questions. I take time to reverse engineer every goal and every project that is worthy of my attention. (I qualify this because not every goal gets my attention and reversed engineered right now. Some goals are there for the Universe to work on without me!)

This monthly activity breaks my big dreams down into achievable and believable steps while simultaneously instills a dialog between me and the Universal Intelligence. It’s not necessary to know ‘how’ I’m manifesting every big goal, but if it’s a project that I can breakdown into mini-accomplishments (the “what(s)” of the project) then the big U will support the manifestation of the resources, action steps, and methods (the “how(s)” of the project.)

One very important aspect of this exercise is the identification of what I don’t know; the questions that I will eventually need to have answered. I find that whenever I am procrastinating on a goal, 90% of the time it’s because I don’t know what to do next, I’m unclear or I’m afraid of making a mistake. By identifying the questions to be answered; the ‘what do I need to know to accomplish this goal’ questions, I inspire the Universe to give me answers to not only these questions but to questions that I didn’t even know I would need answered.

The 100 Things I want to be/do/have before I die

I review, add-to, envision, create treasure maps of and/or take inspired action upon anything on this list that calls me in the moment.

For example, this is simply my list numbered from 1-100 of:

Things I want to do:
1 – learn the guitar
2 – find a great customer service assistant
3 – take a cruise to the Mediterranean

Things I want to be:
4 – be more patient and loving with my children
5 – be more persistent with my EFT
6 – be more organized

Things I want to have:
7 – new curtains and fabulously stylish window dressings
8 – a dentist that understands holistic medicine and law of attraction
9 – a fun and enlightened social circle of friends that inspire, entertain, and uplift me.

My list is not broken down into categories as the example above, but I simply have an ongoing list of my 100 things! I have had many of these lists through out the years and I like to keep it all on one page so that I can know exactly what I want to visualize during my next creative manifesting appointment (with God and I).

Yearly and/or Quarterly:

My Treasure Map:

I create treasure maps of specific goals that I’m focusing upon. I cut out pictures and words that give met the emotional essence of what I will feel when I have this ‘goal’ and paste together a collage that I enjoy fantasizing and visualizing with regularly.

My Values for Life and Comprehensive Goals:

This is my list of the goals I have for the 13 different compartments of my life. Every goal will fall under one of the following headings: Self-Growth (Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Emotional, Personality), Relationships (Family, Mate, Friends/Community), and Worldly (Financial, Career/Life Purpose/Path, Material, Activism, Adventure). I choose to break my goals down once a year just to stay on top of life and make sure I’m being intentional.

It’s been said that we cannot hit a target that we cannot see. Setting goals is simply a conscious creator’s way of clearly ’seeing’ the target(s).

The above system is what I do that works for me. Your method does NOT have to be anything like this in order to be successful. If the above feels overwhelming (and if you’ve never been a goal-setter before, it just might) then start with the most important goals (My Top 6 Goals for Life) and that’s it!

I find that if I try to focus every day on all my goals, then I dissipate my energy and experience greater setbacks and frustration. Therefore, funneling my goals down with a system such as the above, allows me the best of both worlds – greater vision and singular focus.

Start where you are and proceed in the direction of your dreams. Be consistent, persistent, and resilient; never let setbacks, perceived failures, or obstacles defeat you. Fearlessness is a choice and once you begin to choose it, you’ll be amazed at how sweet and easy your life can unfold.

I love January – there’s just something magical about realigning with my intentions and goals at the start of a new year. However, there’s always that particular ‘resolution’ that shows up year after year and what do you know – here it is again; the same resolution that I’ve had for 10 years running is still there, not entirely ignored but not entirely fulfilled either!

Last year I said I was going to spend more time with my children… well, I guess I wasn’t specific enough because although I spent time with them, was it really more time? Was that time really better than or more attentive than the year before?

Last year I said I was going to pay better attention to my honey’s needs, be sweeter and more flexible during disagreements and make magical moments a part of our every day existence. Hmm… did I really achieve this? Well… not entirely. And, I better not send him a feedback survey as I won’t be able to maintain my ’sweetness’ intention when I disagree!

There are others as well… I didn’t accomplish my mental, spiritual or physical goals consistently and oh, here’s that one about organization: “I am organized, productive, efficient, and reliable! I return calls promptly and willingly and my email inbox is organized and easy!” Yikes! I clearly do not understand what I wrote here… my office is more like a ‘bull in a china-shop’ and ‘my calls and inbox are back-logged’ now more than ever!

Okay, looking at my unmet resolutions as well as my victories, I can see that although I did not accomplish them ALL, I did have a great number of victories and have more to be grateful and excited about than the opposite. Allow me to remind myself, by reminding YOU:

We are conscious creators! If we don’t like the weather, then we get to re-create it! However, if we don’t like ourselves, then we cannot expect to change anything consistently. We must first address the primary source of our foul climate before we can move on to creating paradise.

The source of our ‘foul climates’ will always be our internal negative thoughts and limiting beliefs. Now, having said this have you ever wondered why sometimes you’re feeling really positive about life and you still get ‘bummer’ creations?

I call this my petulant Blue Shoes Vibration. I have a feeling that you have your own Petulant Vibration about something, so see if this doesn’t fit somewhere in your life.

I have a regrettable and at this point, entirely embarrassing confession to make about my navy-blue shoes problem. You see, I am unable to attract navy-blue shoes that are comfortable! I know… I’m supposed to be teaching folks how to manifest and here I am unable to manifest something as simple as navy shoes that are also comfortable!!!

Here’s the scope of my problem. In the last 2 years, I have gone through more navy blue heals than I care to admit. I feel as though I’ve walked a groove into the DSW aisles; I’ve searched through Nordstrom’s and then Payless and every shoe store in between. I have even manifested two pair of free navy shoes (random gifts from friends, who knew nothing about my personal navy-shoe-drought) but they have all turned out to be nothing more than a one-night-stand!

In fact, last month, I wore my newest pair of beautiful navy-blue shoes at an all day seminar. When I bought them I was so very hopeful. That evening, when I reached out to push the up button on the elevator, I simultaneously slam dunked those navy pumps into the trash can!

How did I get to this terrible state of possibly never being able to wear any of my navy suits again? I repeatedly and consistently demonized those navy-blue shoes. Every chance I got I’d rant about how I can ‘never find any navy blue shoes that fit!’ Now, being the powerful creator that I am… it’s true. And, until I change my focus from ‘what is’ to ‘what I want instead’, it’s vey unlikely that this dilemma of mine will ever go away!

Now, how does this relate to making this year the best year of your life? Let me explain…

We all have our petulant vibrations! Any source of disconnection that we experience emotionally will manifest physically unless we are more aligned more of the time. This of course is where meditation, yoga, prayer, EFT, essential oils or any of the other ‘tools’ you use for realigning yourself are useful.

However, I also find it extremely supportive to look back on the year and ask myself where might I have a ‘petulant navy-blue shoe’ dilemma in the other areas of my life? And, I suggest you pay particular notice of any area of your life where you are particularly self-critical.

I’ve heard Abraham (with Jerry and Esther Hicks) say, “your vibration is always where you last left it”. This is as true for me and my navy-blue shoe problem as it is for any other unfulfilled dream or goal that I might have. Thus, your vibration (for the good, the bad, and the ugly) from last year will project itself into this year unless you intentionally re-set your intentions and vibrations to higher levels of ease, effortlessness, love, peace, and harmony.

If you want this year to be your best year ever, then take some time to uncover any petulant vibrations (thoughts, limitations, patterns of negative experiences or behaviors) and get rid of them!

Use your affirmations or a vision board or your favorite creative visualization or emotional freedom technique, but do yourself a favor and use this month as the time to kick off any old shoes that no longer fit! And, take on an entirely new intention of creating the best year of your life.

Happy Manifesting!

Hi Anisa, I am a little confused. I am practicing the Law of Attraction. to get and manifest your desires, you desire it, see it and feel it in your heart. Like a movie in your mind. I am wondering why the Law of Detachment is saying the opposite of what the Law of Attraction says? Regards,Neil

Law of Attraction Help

Hi Neil,

Thank you for your email and questions.

The law of attraction operates on an energetic level – drawing and magnetizing comparable energy; energy and experiences that are vibrationally attuned with our most dominant thoughts. When we desire something, we launch a vibration that begins to bring that experience into our lives. However, desire alone is not enough to complete the vibrational creation. It’s when we take our thoughts to the level of ‘allowing’ that our dreams can solidify and materialize.

The law of detachment says that we must relinquish our attachment to our desire in order to manifest it. Let’s look at what detachment is and what it is not. We are attached when we feel that we will not be satisfied until or unless we get what we want (our desires fulfilled) therefore we are ‘attached’ to the outcome. Desire alone without faith, willingness, confidence, acceptance, expectation and/or certainty yields a vibrationally descending or repelling space. Desire alone is NOT enough to manifest our dreams.

Detachment does not require that we give up our desire. Detachment is not apathy or indifference. Effective detachment never feels negative – ever! Effective detachment feels freeing! When we are successfully detached from the outcome we feel like the Universe has our back; like all is well; like we can trust in our greater good; like we are absolutely certain that all that we desire is already ours.

Seeing and feeling what we want in our hearts absolutely supports the conscious creation of the life we desire. However, if we see it and feel it during our meditation but then later in the day continue to acknowledge ‘we still don’t have what we want’, then we counter-act the very creation we launched earlier. We are STILL applying the law of attraction, but we are attracting the opposite of what we ‘desire’ and the opposite of what we ‘envisioned’ earlier.

For example, I have a friend that owes back taxes. We spoke about her manifesting the money to pay them off and how wonderful it would feel to be financially free. As we were discussing her living vision, it came out that what she wanted was “to not have the pressure of this debt.”

Unfortunately, the vibration of ‘back taxes’ and ‘pressure of debt’ is so incredibly negative that it’s a real challenge to get into the space of, “all is well” and “I am financially free.”

As you can imagine, even though the desire is strong for financial freedom, as long as the subconscious thoughts are resonating with the fear of the back taxes, then the desire ALONE is not enough to attract resolution.

This is where the law of detachment comes in. It is essential to intentional creation to get into a feeling place of peaceful expectation that what we want is already at hand. As long as we are ‘attached’ we will continue to focus on the negative aspects of what we don’t want and the fears that come up as we doubt our ability to manifest.

Effectively applying the law of attraction requires both desire and acceptance. Practicing the law of detachment is how we can accept and expect what we desire. The two laws work harmoniously to support us in effectively applying the power of our minds and the universal laws of creation.

Using EFT to apply the Law of Detachment
(Examples given.) 

Emotional Freedom Technique is simply awesome at supporting the Law of Detachment in our lives. (This is not an understatement!)

If you feel ‘attached’ to the outcome of whatever you want to create, use EFT to get rid of the attachment.

Here’s a quick way to clarify the attachments and EFT them away:

1 – List what you’re afraid will happen if you don’t get what you want.

2 – Take the reasons on your list that are the most troubling, put them into an “Even though I’m afraid.” statement.

3 – EFT the negative – starting with the set-up phrase then one pass on the points with the negative reminder phrase (Set up: Even though I’m afraid.) & (points: “.this fear”).

4 – Now implant the positive (the positive opposite of this fear that you want instead). For example, “What if I were at peace.” or “What if I trusted in the Divine Order.” or “I choose to allow myself to courageously and boldly..”

A few generic set-up examples:

Even though I’m afraid that I can’t have what I want..

Even though I’m afraid that I’ll lose (this thing) if I don’t get what I want.

Even though I’m afraid that even if I get what I want this will happen too.

Even though I’m afraid that it won’t be enough.

Even though I’m afraid that I won’t be able to handle (this) if I get what I want.

Even though I’m afraid that I’m inadequate and don’t possess the (talent, intelligence, skills etc.)..

(Remember, you’ll do three set-up phrases on Karate Chop point or Sore Spot then you’ll use a negative reminder to do one pass on the body points. Then, you’ll complete the EFT round with positive implants. See below.)

A few generic positive implant examples:

What if I were optimistic and trusted in myself to see this through easily?

What if I were hopeful and allowed myself to be happy?

What if I trusted in the Divine Order and knew all was well?

What if I were satisfied with ‘what is’ and still easily allowed myself to reach for me?

What if I courageously and boldly took action now?

What if I were willing to risk failure and risk success?

What if I were at peace now?

I choose to trust in the Divine.

I choose to allow my greatest good to flow effortlessly to me now.

I choose to enjoy this moment and joyously create the next too.

With EFT & LOA, you’ll find that you begin to enjoy an overall sense of wellness that you may have never experienced before. Each round of EFT creates subtle but lasting results. Ask anyone that’s done EFT for an extended period of time. They will tell you that they ‘don’t know why’ but their life is simply more peaceful, joyous, and easy! It must be all that EFT!!!!
