Challenges In Manifesting

Welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert,

A brief,

Positivity-inspiring chat and meditation designed to uplift and motivate us to live our best lives.

Let's get in the flow.

Today,

We are going to talk about maybe sort of the challenging side of manifesting.

You know,

I know nobody wants to really get into talking about the negative stuff,

But I really feel like that if we talk about the negative stuff and how to deal with it,

Maybe a light will turn on for somebody,

You know,

And they'll be like,

Oh my God,

You know,

Because that's what this is all about.

And I don't want people to get themselves in a place where they stop trying to manifest because weird things keep happening.

Okay,

So that's kind of where my head goes with this,

Right?

So a few of the challenges that I hear about.

These are great.

First of all,

I start off thinking positively and everything is going great.

But thinking so negatively and then all of a sudden everything like falls to pot.

Let me restate that.

The first challenge,

I start off thinking positively and everything's great,

But then all of a sudden negative thoughts start to come in and everything falls apart.

Well,

Here's what I want to say about this.

Okay,

Rome was not built in a day.

Okay,

So if you are thinking of shifting your thoughts and you're thinking about,

Okay,

I need to do this to shift my thoughts and all that stuff.

It takes time to learn where these thoughts are,

Why they're coming in and when you even learn,

This is the crazy part,

When you even learn about your triggers and you start to shift your thoughts,

You're still going to have bad days.

You're still going to have challenging days where it's hard to find the gratitude.

It's hard.

Right?

Here's my point about manifesting.

This is what I love about this,

Right?

This whole thing is not about stopping anything bad from happening in our lives.

It's about shifting our perspective on those bad things.

Every day is a new day to start over.

Every day,

Every day,

New day to start over.

And if we go into it,

Knowing that we have control over those thoughts,

Every day,

Every minute of every day,

Knowing that we can start over,

That's why,

That's how manifesting actually starts to come into play in your life.

Now I want to talk about the second thing,

Okay?

And this is even more challenging than the first thing that I mentioned,

Right?

Let's talk about money and manifesting.

That is a big subject,

Right?

And it's sticky.

And I'll bet you that when I said the word money,

Everybody,

Even if you don't realize it,

Your brain went to manifesting money.

Oh my gosh.

Here's the point about money and manifesting money.

Actually,

Most people have thoughts about money,

All sorts of different types of thoughts about money.

You want it.

You need it.

Don't we all need it,

Right?

Some people fear it.

Some are desperate for it.

Okay,

When we start out manifesting,

I really,

Really,

Really think that it's important to not focus on money or getting stuff or winning the lottery.

And here's why.

Those thoughts that I just mentioned,

The desperation,

The needing,

The fearing of it.

Those are all thoughts that we may or may not realize that we have.

We may not even realize that we have that.

So why can't I have as much money as she does?

Why does money come so easily to him and nothing to me?

Like what?

Feeling desperation around something,

Money or anything actually pushes it away.

I know.

I know.

Not good.

Feeling fearful that you don't have it,

Whether it's money or anything else,

Feeling fearful that you need it right now.

It pushes it away in terms of manifesting.

Because here's the thing.

These are all negative thoughts,

Right?

They're lower vibrational.

I'm going to say it this way.

They're lower vibrational ways of being.

The fear.

There's nothing lower vibrational than fear,

Right?

So there's fear.

There's desperation.

There's jealousy.

That's why I'm saying around money,

We all have thoughts.

And what we want to do is shift our perspective.

You're going to love this about our lives,

Our families,

Our jobs.

If we start to shift our perspective there and start there.

The things that are happening right here,

Right now,

If we start to shift that.

It's like we're starting to carve out chunks of the wall.

It's like we're starting to carve out chunks of that wall that stops us from having everything we want in our lives.

We may not even realize that we're thinking of those things.

Right.

And to explain this in another way.

Simply put,

If we work on,

And you're going to love this,

Right,

Feeling grateful for everything in our lives right here,

Right now.

The good and the bad.

If we start to appreciate how pretty great right here,

Right sitting here,

Right now.

If we start to appreciate that those walls and those pre-existing ways of thinking and living will start to come down.

Pretty extraordinary,

Don't you think?

Really,

Really extraordinary.

You're not alone.

And that's why I tell people do not start manifesting lottery numbers because it's not going to work and then you're going to be like,

Nah,

This manifesting thing.

What do you seriously?

It's about putting the money stuff on the back burner.

I hate to say it that way,

But it's true.

Putting the money stuff on the back burner and appreciating what's happening in your life right here,

Right now.

Right at this moment.

At this moment,

We are having an incredible conversation about joy and about gratitude and about creating our own life.

So right here,

Right now,

It's awesome.

Like,

I feel great.

Start out small.

Because it's actually not small.

You know,

Feeling the gratitude.

Finding those five little things that you are grateful for.

Just putting that into practice every day is huge.

OK,

So let's meditate really quick.

OK,

So the mantras.

There are two mantras that you can choose from.

OK,

This first one is I feel grateful for my full life.

The wonderful things and the lessons.

I feel grateful for my full life.

The wonderful things and the lessons.

The second mantra that you could try is money comes easily and effortlessly to me.

Money comes easily and effortlessly to me.

That's the thing.

Feeling the gratitude.

So let's close our eyes.

Take a deep breath in feeling.

Let's breathe in on this inhalation.

Let's breathe in joy and peace.

And release.

Beautiful.

Feeling that peace deep down within your soul.

Feeling that gratitude.

So now we can take either of the mantras,

Whichever one sits with you,

Using your intuition.

Choose your own mantra.

I feel grateful for my full life,

The wonderful things and the lessons.

Or money comes easily and effortlessly to me.

I feel grateful for my full life,

The wonderful things and the lessons.

Money comes easily and effortlessly to me.

So I will keep the time and let's begin.

We can start to bring our awareness back to our being.

Breathing in abundance and love and gratitude.

And release.

Gorgeous.
