Is Your Resistance to Change Keeping You From Manifesting Your Desires?

Often times we're stuck in our lives because of our resistance to change. We want to manifest our desires but are not open to what the Spirit has to offer or what's put in front of you help you move forward toward the change you want to manifest. 

Many times we'd rather stay in our comfort zones hoping that things will turn around rather than taking the risk to get what we truly desire.

Change is not always easy nor is it always convenient but it's always rewarding and can be beneficial. We're often afraid to change, afraid of the unknown. But it's the stepping out that things begin to unfold and a new life begins.

And if you are really ready (and please be honest) then Kristen is ready to go all in with you!

Listen, I know Kristen's Go Big Now! VIP Program will give you the tools, knowledge and accountability you need to get a massive jump start.

I'm going to be completely honest with you here...

The Go Big Now! VIP Program costs money...

But Kristen has made sure it will cost you much less than what it would for you to get a mocha latte or any other crazy coffee drink every day.

She's not looking to get you into the program and then hope you forget that you are in it while you keep paying money...

And she'll even let you use the entire program (including the group calls with her) Risk Free for 2 whole months. If you don't like it or use it she'll give you your money back...no questions, no pressure, no stress...that's it!

Struggling to Manifest Your Desires? Try These 3 Mental Motor Skills

Struggling to manifest your desires? Perhaps you're grabbing desperately after what you want and find that your desires are becoming more elusive to you.

What's happening here? You're doing all you can to get the results you want but are still coming up short and can't figure out exactly what's going on.

So you get frustrated and focus on why things aren't working out for you. The more desperate you become, the more aggressive you go after your desire, the more you push what you want away from you, creating a negative wave of energy signals around you.

Let's look at a practical example - my 10 month old daughter found playing with a balloon quite fascinating. But because she had not yet learned the motor skill of gentle grab, each time she went after the balloon, stretched out her hand to grab after it, the balloon floated further away from her. So she became frustrated and went after the balloon more aggressively. Again, the balloon kept floating further away from her.

It was not until she learned the art of gently but firmly taking the balloon that she was able to hold it and play with it. Other times she'd relax, sit and observe as the balloon floated over to her.

So let's look at 3 mental motor skills you can use to attract what you want to manifest your desires.

Mental Motor Skill #1 - Set your intentions

When you want to manifest your desires, set your intentions for what you want and put your attention to the results you desire and not on what you don't want.

Your intentions are spiritual seeds. So when you set your intentions you're putting your intention seeds into the soil of Universal Spirit. You become in alignment with universal energy that will open the flow to what resources you need to manifest your desires.

Mental Motor Skill #2 - Put your attention on what you want

Put your attention on your intention. What your eyes are focused on creates your reality. The more you are focused on your intention, the more you will go into action mode to create the results you desire. More inspired ideas will come to you to help you on your quest.

Mental Motor Skill #3 - Let go of the outcome

Set your intentions but let go of the outcome. Allow the Universal Spirit to work on your behalf and synchronize events at the right time to match the results you want.

Action Thursday - 4 Action Steps to Think Different to Manifest Your Desires

What you're experiencing right now came as a result of the way you're thinking an2d the choices you made. To change your experience you need to think differently so you can make different choices and manifest the desires you truly want. If you find that you're not making progress towards your goal, then it's time to think different - change your thought processing, look at things from a different perspective.

Begin using these 4 action steps right away

Action Step #1 - Observe your thought patterns

Being consciously aware of your own thinking patterns will help you make the necessary adjustments you need to attract the things you desire to experience. Become an observer of your thoughts. And this can only be done by making a conscious decision to pay attention to what's going on in your mind. You can only fix something when you're aware of what's wrong.

Action Step #2 - Observe your actions

Observe your past as well as your current actions as a result of your thinking patterns. Where have they led you and where are they taking you now. How have your past actions or what you're doing now contributing to you not having the success you desire? What different set of action steps could you take right away that will give you different results?

Action Step #3 - Change your perspective

The way you think about things and process information affects the actions you will take from there. If you've been looking at, say for example, your relationship in a way that doesn't encourage loving feelings but stirs up anger and resentment, how can you look at your relationship from a different perspective? Perhaps you've been holding on to some grudge that affects the way you think about our partner, how can you release that grudge, forgive and look at your partner through a different viewpoint? 

Action Step #4 - Come from a place of positive energy

If you respond to life from a place of love, life will mirror what's inside of you. If every situation you encounter you allow love to be the focal point, the walls of resentment, anger etc. will begin to lose its grip on you. Love grows, heals, unites. In the presence of love all non-life-giving energy dissipates. 

No matter what adversity you face, you can turn things around by thinking differently and coming from a place of love.

What To Do When Your Taking Action Doesn't Seem To Be Working To Manifest Your Desires

So you're taking action but you find that nothing you're doing seems to be getting you to the point of manifesting your desires. 

Everyone's saying you need to go after your dreams and here you are trying to do whatever you can to make your dreams a reality but you feel stuck because the energy you're putting into making the dream a reality is not bringing in the rewards you expected, what do you do?

Here's where you need to take a closer look at if you're taking action or inspired action, there's certainly a difference between the two. I'll explain with a scenario: You want to go to the grocery store which is west, however, you get into your car, turn on the ignition and begin to drive east. You keep going east and become frustrated because you can't seem to find the grocery store. 

You decide to change directions and drive south. Yes, you're still moving and you're still driving but the grocery store is still in the west. Will you ever get to your destination? Not likely. 

It's the same thing with your desires. You're taking action, you're engaged in some activity, some movement but they're not getting you to where you want to be, until you decide to take inspired action. 

What then is inspired action? They come with wisdom, knowledge, accurate direction either from someone who knows the way whether it's through a stranger or a friend or it comes through an inspired idea. Inspired action will get you to your destination with less effort and less frustration while also drawing other people into position to help you realize your goal.  

Instead of continuing down the path you're on, stop, analyze what you're doing, identify the activities that are occupying your time but not giving you the results you want and look for those things that are actually producing better results and direct more of your energy into that. 

Busyness is not an accurate measurement for progress because often times we can achieve the same and most often better results with less steps. The key is to find out what steps are the most productive to success in manifesting your desires. 

Watch out tomorrow as we go through specific action steps you can take to get inspired answers that will get you out of the maze of confusion and onto the path of manifesting your desires.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from feeling stuck, frustrated and overwhelmed to being self-empowered.

Action Thursday - 5 Action Steps to Go with the Flow to Manifest Your Desire

Going with the flow not only gets you in sync with the universal energy but it also puts you into a relaxed state of mind so you're open to receive what the Spirit has to offer at each given moment. When you are tangled in frustration and/or preoccupied with negativity, you hinder your mind from being consciously present to see what's in front of you - what the Spirit has brought to you for your benefit. 

So let's look at 5 action steps you can take right now to go with the flow to manifest your desire.

Step #1 - What do you want to manifest?

What is it you truly desire? Come face to face with this because this is the starting point before anything physically manifests. All that we see in our universe came into existence because of a desire - whether the desire came from the Great Universal Spirit or from us, consciously or not - it all began from a thought that became emotionally charged into a strong desire and continued to take form from there.

Step #2 - Relax

I cannot count how many times things have come to me when I was in a relaxed state, often not even thinking about my desire at the time - the answer just showed up. When we're full of negative energy - anger, frustration, stress - it makes it difficult for us to see the answer and the path we need to follow to get to the results we want. 

Step #3 - Release the outcome

You do not know all the ways in which a desire can come into manifestation in your life and if you become rigid in receiving your desire in one way and one way only, you may very well be hindering your results. Releasing the outcome, letting go of how it will all work out or the path in which your desire will come gives the universal energy the freedom to bring it to you in the best way possible. 

Step #4 - Be open 

Be open to the channel through which the Spirit has chosen to help you. Watch out! This may come to you shrouded in adversity. E.g. you ask for a successful business but then you lose your job though on the surface this may seem like an unfortunate situation. But if you look for the hidden gem with eyes of positive expectation, laying beneath the surface you'll find the opportunity you've been waiting for but only manifests itself as you are open to the Spirit and expect the best outcome no matter what. 

Step #5 - Take action!

What can you do right now? What do you feel you should do or could do or are inspired to do right now? It may be to just relax and allow - then do that. It may be that you need to start from where you are and use whatever resources are available to you right now. It may mean that you start moving and have an open heart and keep your eyes and ears open to where the Spirit is showing you to go to moment by moment. Whatever it is, do that, take action and in taking action what you need will show up to help you take the next step.

And speaking of next step, I have a very special offer for you right now, a Free 30-Minute Self-Empowerment Session with me.

Another Real Life Example of Going with the Flow to Manifest Your Desires

In yesterday's post we discussed how we got our desire for apricots satisfied. Today we'll look at another example from something that also happened while we were in the city. 

At another parking lot, while I waited in the car for Dad and a couple of the older girls to return from the store, my 9 year old noticed a vehicle as it passed by. She thought it was a friend of ours who usually comes into town on the weekends but actually lives in the city. My daughter thought that it would be a treat to see him. 

When Dad and the older girls returned, we drove out of the parking lot and while we waited for the traffic lights to turn green, lo and behold who do we see driving by? Yep, our friend. We decided to follow him and sounded the horn as he parked his car and was headed towards his workplace. He was totally surprised to see us - my daughter's desire manifested right in front of our eyes. 

What's the mindset here? 

1. Emotional Charged Desire

She really wanted to see our friend and thought it would be a nice treat. I could hear it in her voice as she expressed her desire - it was one that was emotionally charged. 

Are you emotionally connected to your desire? Do you feel your desire from your heart?

2. Let it go 

The thing is we also joined in with her in agreement saying that it would be nice to see him and that was the end of that. We didn't really discuss it anymore. But what was happening was that the universal energy was set in motion to bring her exactly what she desired. 

With all that energy put out there everything flowed in precise synchronicity to manifest this desire - from the time she made her wish, to the time we left the parking lot to be positioned at the traffic lights to see our friend drive by. That brings us to the next point.

3. Positioning

As we go with the flow, not entangled with negativity, we naturally move into position to receive what we desire, being at the right place at the right time. Everyone involved, everything we need all comes together at once, all starting from a thought. 

Tomorrow, Action Thursday, we'll look at some action steps and something special for you as you become self-empowered to go with the flow to manifest your desires.

 

Real Example of Going With the Flow to Manifest Your Desires

Last week on our trip into the city, while we were parked in the parking lot, I observed behind the fence a tree laden with apricots. So I was talking with one of my daughters wondering how much the owners would charge for a bag of apricots. I didn't go ask them though. 

We left that area and took the children for a drive and on our journey we ended up at the local airport where we got to see a couple of small planes coming in. 

After we left the airport, we decided to drive some more before we headed back home. As we were driving on one of the local roads, we came to a roadside tree also laden with apricots. We were able to stop the vehicle and picked some to take with us. 

The desire to have apricots opened the door and manifested a way for us to enjoy them. We went with the flow; being open to what the Spirit had to offer. We didn't initially get the apricot from the first tree because we didn't know the owners. However, a way was provided for us to still enjoy apricots without having to intrude on someone else. 

When you become clear on what you desire to achieve in life, the possibilities to have that desire become reality are endless. Once you keep an open mind and are willing to go with the flow of the Spirit what you desire will manifest itself, the offer will present itself to you with ease. 

We were simply having a good time with our children and following where we felt prompted to go. It is in this willingness to do as we were instructed that our desire was satisfied. 

What is it do you desire? Become clear right now, let your imaginative skills go to work for you, envision your desire and allow your mind to be open to the direction the Spirit is taking you.

Tomorrow we'll look at another real example of 'Going With the Flow to Manifest Your Desires.'

Mastering the Art of Going with the Flow to Manifest Your Desires

When you go with the flow of the Spirit, things happen, miracles occur. You become untangled from stress, frustration and you are free and open to what the Spirit has to offer.

In this state of being and relaxation, the synchronicity of life occurs. Things begin to fall into place, your desires are satisfied and you can marvel at how everything has come together so easily and effortlessly without you having to force, push or 'make it happen'.

When you let go and flow with the Spirit, the problem you've been trying to resolve for the longest time simply unfolds the solution and you wonder, "Why hadn't I thought of that before?"

Sometimes we become so caught up with life's schedules/ the rigidity of our schedules, we miss what the Spirit has to offer.

Practice the art of going with the flow so you can master it and live in a more relaxed state of mind.

Affirmation: 

I am open to what the Spirit has to offer today.

All good is here now and everything is unfolding itself right now for my ultimate good.

I am abundant now. Abundant life-energy is now flowing in and through me and manifesting itself in all of my physical circumstances in the form of joy, peace, prosperity, happiness and above all, a satisfied life.

I am complete. I am whole.

Tomorrow we'll look at a live example of 'Going with the Flow to Manifest Your Desires'.

Action Thursday - 3 Mental Action Steps to Help You Get Specific to Manifest Your Desires

Last post we looked at 3 mental action steps to help you get specific on manifesting your desires. Information is great but they have no effect if you don't take action on them. 

Here are 3 action steps you can use to reinforce what you've read. 

1) Action Step For Your imagination 

Observe a child at play to reconnect with your inner child and reactivate your imaginative skills. Develop those imaginative skills to create the life you desire. As a child creates the character personality in his/her play, what are the personalities of the characters in your life story that you'd like to create? What are you doing with your characters? 

The characters you create may come from the relationship you desire to manifest or the friends you'd like to have. What about the lifestyle you'd like to have? Begin to allow your inner creativity to come alive as you explore your options. Once you decide on your specific goals, continue to expand on them and add more fine tuned details. 

2) Action Step For Your consciousness

Check with how you feel about your particular situation. Are you following what your head says is the logical thing to do? Look within to your inner feelings. How do you truly feel about what you're doing? Are your feelings in agreement with what you're doing or is there conflict between your mind and feelings? Are you doing this because of what others say you should be doing or is this what you truly desire? 

3) Action Step For Focus 

Set aside a ten minute segment so you can bring your imagination and feelings into focused attention to achieve your goal. Ever sat to watch a 2 hour movie without interruption? Instead of occupying your time with what others have created out of their imagination, it's time for you to use the mental tools to create the same for your own life. Start small and build from there.

3 Mental Tools to Help You Get Specific to Manifest Your Desires

Vague desires result in vague results. So you need to get very specific with what it is you want to manifest in your life. Not sure how to get specific on what you desire? These 3 mental tools and action steps will get you started. 

1) Your imagination

If your imaginative capabilities have become dull over the years, now is the time to get them active once again. Your imagination is the workshop of the mind and here is where you begin to create or recreate your life. 

Ever noticed how a child becomes so actively engaged when playing with his/her toys. They bring to life all the characters needed to enhance their fun experience. Children learn at an early age to explore their imagination but as they grow, the adults around them often suppress this vital part of their lives which plays a major role even into adulthood. 

2) Feeling consciousness

Have you lost touch with your true feelings? Have you been doing things because it's the logical thing to do regardless of what you truly feel inside of you? Your inner feelings or intuitiveness have been given to you as a guidance system. They help to steer you on the path that's right for you. Take the time to become conscious of your feelings and reconnect with them. 

3) Focus

When a child is playing, have you ever noticed how focused he/she can become? Their imagination and feelings are fully engaged in what they're doing, so focused. This may be the only time that you ever see your child really focused and absorbed with anything. This is the time I usually take advantage of to get other things done. 

As adults we often allow many things to distract us from focusing on our goal. Give your attention and focus on the specifics of what you desire to manifest.

Action Thursday - 3 Steps to Coming out of your Mental Comfort Zone to Manifest your Desires

When dealing with comfort zones, of the three levels - physical, spiritual and mental, I believe that the mental comfort zone is the most important because it greatly influences the other two. The mental comfort zone can inhibit or allow progress on both the spiritual and physical levels. 

We stay in our physical comfort zones because of the way we're thinking. We also remain in our spiritual comfort zones because of the way we're thinking. When we deal with how we're thinking, our perspective on things and life, all other areas fall into place. 

It is because of the way you view your current situation, either from fear or from progress that you physically stay or leave. You're thinking that if I leave what would be the outcome? Uncertainty in your thoughts hinders you from taking the first step forward. 

Same thing with your spiritual comfort zone. What if I opened my mind to look at another perspective? Perhaps what if what I've been taught could be flawed or there may be other ways to look at what I've come to accept as truth? Then your life could head in a positive direction. 

Or you can decide to be so rigid in your belief because of the fear that what if what you believed all your life becomes questionable, then what? 

Here are 3 steps you can use to change your life and manifest your desires by coming out of your mental comfort zone:

1) Be open

When you are open to set aside your current way of thinking so you can embrace the new or embrace that which is truth, then you are setting the stage to coming out of your mental comfort zone. 

2) Ask questions

You may ask, "Is there another way I could look at my situation?" For example, you may have been trained to believe that you have to work a full-time job in order to make ends meet or work both a full-time job and a part-time job in order to get the income you need. But if you were to ask the question, "Is there another way to look at meeting my needs? Then you are making the mental adjustment, coming out of your comfort zone to embrace change. 

By the way, I've been there years ago, going from working a full-time and a part-time job while being pregnant and studying at the same time to working a part-time job making more money than both jobs put together. That's what happens when you are open and ask for another viewpoint. You get answers you may never have taught possible. 

3) Mental willingness

You know, you could get an answer to your problem, but if you are mentally unwilling to accept the answer and take the necessary action steps to implement it you'll be stuck where you are. Sometimes, it's not that we don't get the answer; it's that we are unwilling in our minds to do what we're inspired mainly to because of fear.

Look at your mental comfort zone now and examine what you need to let go of, what you need to change, what adjustments you need to make that will help you to move forward so you can begin to manifest your desires.

Change your Life - Coming out of your Spiritual Comfort Zone to Manifest your Desires

We may hold on to spiritual beliefs that hinder us from growing spiritually and from manifesting our desires and as a result our foundation may become shaken in times of adversity. This happens when what we believe creates a false sense of security around us. Then we go through traumatic experiences which either cause us to go deeper spiritually or turn our backs entirely on God.

This is part of the shaking process, the coming out of the spiritual comfort zone and false belief. You may find yourself feeling disillusioned, feeling lost. But at these times, when we listen to the Spirit, we come into the truth as we release the anger and resentment toward the current situation as well as toward God.

Many of our beliefs may have come from other people's point of view and has nothing to do with truth or our personal experience. This is the time that we're called to a personal experience with the Spirit, to come into a more intimate experience, to deepen our own spiritual walk and gain more understanding of what the Spirit has to offer us. 

Until you've come into your own personal spiritual relationship with God, you'll find yourself constantly relying on others to tell you what the truth is. And when you encounter adverse situations, how will you stand and remain on solid ground? How will you maintain your inner peace?

We weren't designed to remain stagnant in our spiritual growth. Our entire lives are dependent on how we grow spiritually, on how we deepen our connection with the Great Universal Spirit and become more and more consciously aware of our connectedness to the Spirit and all that there is. 

Out of our spiritual growth comes the manifestation of our desires. As we grow, our quiet time deepens; our sense of belonging deepens to that which is greater than ourselves. We become more in tuned with the subtle vibrations of the Spirit and the inner promptings. 

If you've been questioning your own spiritual beliefs and feel the inner call to go deeper, be confident in asking the Spirit for answers to those things you don't understand. Make it a conscious effort to spend that time listening within to what the Spirit is saying to you and gain understanding through the subtle lessons of life. 

Tomorrow we'll look at Comfort Zone #3 - Mental Levels - and the steps to take to come out it. 

Affirmations - How to Use the Formula for Success with Affirmations to Manifest your Desires

Knowing about affirmations and how they work is only part of the benefit. You get the full benefit when you put this knowledge into use, not only once but over and over again until they leave their imprint in your life. Remember the formula for success R=IOT, Repetition = Imprint Over Time. When you repeatedly use the elements of affirmations you become stronger in understanding the application of affirmations. 

Let's look at each element with the application of the formula for success.

Element #1 - Belief

Repetition of your affirmation affirms your belief. It strengthens it. You begin to feel more empowered from within even if at first you may not have fully believed your affirmation, your mind will begin to accept this belief as true over time. You may say, "I do believe I can have this. I do believe I can achieve my goal. I do believe I am whole." Something inside of you will click. 

Because all the while you've been repeating your affirmation you've been nurturing that thought seed and it's been growing inside of you. You can consciously connect with it because it has gone through the germination period within you and has started to grow where you can actually feel your belief-strength growing in you.

Element #2 - Feelings

As you add the feeling element over and over to your affirmation, you are forming the inner connection with your affirmation. You are engaged in the process of owning your affirmation. You are becoming one with your affirmation. The more you can feel your affirmation, the more you can see yourself experiencing your desire and the more fuel and energy you are adding to that dream. 

When you feel that energy inside of you, you become more excited about it which propels you forward into more inspired action and draws creative ideas to you. You were given feelings for a reason and are not the sign of weaklings but the strength of the empowered because you feel alive and not numb or disconnect from the desires that come out of the core of your soul. 

Element #3 - Visualization

The imagination is the workshop of the mind and as you use it to visualize your desire over and over again your creativity to build your ideal image becomes more vivid. This imaging process communicates with the brain which in turn sends that message over and over to your body. 

What's happening in this process? The energy wave is being transmitted to your body over and over again influencing your body cells. All of this becoming a part of the intangible aspect of the manifestation process which eventually crystallizes on the tangible plain. 

The way we look at things determines our perspective which in turn influences our experience and then our reality. Repeated visualization changes our perspective, changes the way we look at our situation which will influence our experience and ultimately our manifestation. 

Combining all three elements together produces a great energy wave that creates change in your life. Don't forget to follow the inspired ideas as they come to you and take the necessary action on the physical plain. Keep your eyes open for others that may come into your life that hold in their hands the answer to your solution. We are all part of the whole and even if the solution did not come to your mind, it may arrive through someone else. Pay attention. 

Look out tomorrow for Action Thursday and get ready to go through the step by step process of creating your own affirmations.

Affirmations - 3 Elements To Empower Your Affirmations So You Manifest Your Desires - Part 3

Your imagination plays a vital part in the vitalization of your affirmations. What do you see when you're repeating your affirmations? What do you imagine? Do your words create a picture in your mind?

Element #3 - Visualization

Our brain communicates in images. Therefore having a clear image of your desire is the first step in visualization. Let's use our health example from above. What does it look like to you being healthy? What picture do you imagine? What's your mental image? Are you full of energy when flu season comes around? You can breathe easily, you feel strong, you feel confident at that time of the year because your body is whole and you know it. Can you see that image clearly? Make it even more define if need be.

Now, apply this concept to your own personal situation. Do you see yourself enjoying and living the life of your dreams? What does it look like to you? This is where a vision board can be a very useful tool. Having a vision board and not connecting with it would be the same as saying affirmations and not connecting with them emotionally or believing in them.

The purpose of the vision board is to help you get clear on what you desire, have a mental image of your desire and as you look at your vision board, adding your feelings to having your desire, that image is imprinted on your brain which sends that message to your body. As you're feeling the feelings and believing in your vision board image, you're implanting this into your subconscious where it will take root.

This vision board technique helps to develop your imagination bringing vivid colours and images to your brain. If you memorize this image, even when you are not in front of the vision board, you can still have a vivid image imprinted in your mind. Seeing the picture now?

How does the Formula for Success work with Affirmations? Look out tomorrow as we dive into this.

Affirmations - 3 Elements To Empower Your Affirmations So You Manifest Your Desires - Part 1

If you've tried affirmations in the past and they didn't work for you or if you want to know how affirmations work so you can benefit from them you need to have these 3 basic elements to empower your affirmations. On their own, saying words do not have the effectiveness. You've got to add the fuel to keep the affirmation fire vitalized.

Element #1 - Belief 

If you don't believe in the affirmations you're using then you'll not get any results at all. You've got to believe in what you're saying. Your belief or put another way, your faith makes you whole. What you believe in will become your reality. If you don't believe and want to believe, you can nurture this belief until your mind accepts it. 

For example, if you believe that you're prone to getting the flu every flu season and you start using the affirm, "I'm healthy and whole," at first you might hear your mind say, "Yeah, right." That's the initial conflict between the new programming and the old. It's like going into a lake. The water's cold at first and you feel that initial shock to your system. If you continue to stay in the water, your body adjusts to the temperature and now it doesn't feel as cold any more. You actually begin to accept the temperature and start to have fun. 

It's the same with the new affirmation. If you keep repeating your new affirmation to yourself, "I'm healthy and whole," soon enough your mind will agree with you and you'll find that you can now accept this as your new belief.

We'll cover #2 element on Monday. 

Look out tomorrow - Action Thursday, as we review the action steps you need to take to make affirmations work for you.
