I first learned about the Law of Attraction back in 2009 when I read the book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne. As I held the book in my hand and read the quote from the Emerald Tablet, “As Above, So Below. As Within, So Without,”every fiber of my being lit up with excitement. I knew this book held the answer I was looking for.
At the time, I had just given birth to my daughter, Alexis. Like most first-time parents, I was overwhelmed with joy and love I’ve never felt before. But with those positive feelings also came anxiety.
I have been prone to anxiety my whole life, and when I looked down at this perfect, beautiful child that was dependent on me for everything, I knew I wanted to give her the world.
We were living in a hundred-year old home in the small, rural town my husband grew up in. This town had a population of 1,000. You heard me right…1,000! It had about 5 churches, a gas station, and a bank.
While this cute little country home and town was a nice change of pace from Chicago, it wasn’t the environment I wanted to raise my daughter in. I began worrying about things like the possibility of there being lead paint or mold in the house that we were unaware of. The electric had never been updated and was not to code, so I worried about a fire.
My anxiety turned to helplessness. I was just starting my corporate career, so I was making entry level pay and my husband had been laid off from his job. With no degree, his job options were limited. I felt stuck. I dreamed bigger but had no idea how I’d ever get there. It seemed impossible.
That’s when my mom handed me a copy of The Secret. I read the whole book in one sitting, then read it over and over again. Within 3 months, I manifested the $30,000 down payment I needed to buy my dream home located in the best school district in Southern IL. I got an unexpected promotion to management of a Fortune 500 company, and the pay raise allowed my husband to go back to college to pursue his career goals. It also gave me the money to pay my mom’s bills, so she could move down the street from us and help take care of our daughter while we were at work.
Every area of my life that had been lacking was now abundant. All within 3 months! As the Law of Attraction became more mainstream, I was glad to see so many people learning about it. But to my surprise, most people didn’t click with it like I did. I was watching people struggle to manifest even the smallest of things.
I began to wonder why it was so easy for me and not for others? Over the next few years, I began researching everything I could get my hands on to uncover the barriers to manifesting.
Here’s what I found:
Law of Attraction Barrier #1 – Inconsistent Goals
How often do we think about a goal we want, and 2 hours later we think about a completely different goal that contradicts the first goal. Take the example of a car. Have you ever thought one day that you would like a G wagon, then a few days later all of a sudden you think about how you want a Range Rover? We have to be crystal clear on what we want. We have to visualize ourselves achieving that goal. Visualize every detail as though it’s right in front of you. Having that level of clarity is needed.
Barrier #2 – Toxic People
Have you ever been so excited about a goal only to have your great idea shot down by a friend? In an instant, you go from feeling elated to completely deflated, frustrated and filled with doubt. This is why I don’t share my big plans and goal with anyone until I’ve accomplished them. There are a few key people in my life I know are supportive and positive, but outside of that close circle, I don’t share my dreams until I’ve made them a reality.
Barrier #3 – Limiting Beliefs
Our subconscious mind spent the first 7 years of life downloading information around us. This information became hardwired in our brain to form our belief system. The rest of our lives, our belief system is reinforced over and over again by society, our parents, the school system, etc. While we have learned good information that kept us safe like obeying safety rules a laws, we also learned some limiting beliefs.
Even as an adult, when we consciously focus on overcoming these limiting ideas, we often don’t find success because our subconscious is in control 90% of the time. The only way to overcome these limiting beliefs once and for all is by reprogramming our subconscious mind. The only way to do that is by replacing those limiting beliefs with positive beliefs consistently over time. I teach you step by step how to do this in my course Manifest and Mindset Total Immersion. You can also grab my top favorite affirmations here.
Barrier #4 – Low Vibrational Frequency
The only way to manifest something is to align with the vibrational frequency of what you’re trying to manifest. If you are dwelling in a low vibrational frequency, you will attract things of a low vibrational frequency. If you work on raising your vibe and FEELING good more than bad, you will be a magnet for abundance in your life. Self-care is essential. Focus on your mental and physical wellbeing, and you will see a shift in how much more you manifest when you FEEL good.
Barrier #5 – Not Being Present
The only way to manifest something is to align with the vibrational frequency of what you’re trying to manifest. If you are dwelling in a low vibrational frequency, you will attract things of a low vibrational frequency. If you work on raising your vibe and FEELING good more than bad, you will be a magnet for abundance in your life. Self-care is essential. Focus on your mental and physical wellbeing, and you will see a shift in how much more you manifest when you FEEL good.
The best way to keep your mind in the right place and stay focused on manifesting your goals is by surrounding yourself with a positive and supportive community and using resources available to you.
