DANGER! DANGER! AVOID THESE WORDS!
Okay, so we’re clear on how critical the process of allowing is to the attraction process, right?
As I’ve said, attraction is an active, not a passive process, and you need to closely monitor your thoughts and feelings to ensure that your vibrations are in line with what you are asking for.
In my experience, there are at least two key words that have the power to cut off the attraction process off at the knees. The first word is "how." As in, yes, I want to bring all I want to me, but HOW will this ever happen? Again, because we are logical creatures we want to make sense of this whole attraction process we want attraction to fit into our current rules and modes of operation. Usually it does not. We want the reassurance of knowing how attraction works. While this is quite natural given our thought habits, you cannot allow skeptic thought to become your dominant vibration.
How will money arrive at my doorstep? How will I attract the love of my life? How will I find a career that brings me joy every day? Behind much of this is the belief that we must be doing something other than feel good in order to get what we want and the doubt that our feelings become things. Yet when we put forth that question of HOW, the underlying vibration that goes out to the universe is something like this:
"I don’t really think any of this will happen. I have very strong doubts about all of this. If you can explain it to me over again, perhaps I will doubt it a little less." Repeatedly asking HOW indicates that you still believe that you must do something beyond keeping your vibration positive. And that feeling of doubt will not make you a vibrational match for what you are asking for (unless you are asking for more doubt!).
The point is that in this active process of monitoring your thoughts and feelings, become aware of when that three-letter question pops into your head. Notice how your feelings change immediately from thoughts that feel good to thoughts that do not feel good. This is the point at which you must stop your current thinking and change your vibration.
The other word to become aware of is "but." Too many times I hear people say things like, "Drew, I really want to start living abundantly, but…" "Sure, I’d love to find a career that brought me joy and gave me lots of free time, but…" And again, with a three-letter word, the dream is ended. Whatever follows that little conjunction stops the allowing process. There’s the old saying that when you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them. Anytime we use the word "but" following the description of what we really want, we’ve just argued for our limitations. And we shall attract those very limitations to us.
Become aware of these two words – how and but – and those words like them that stop you from just feeling great about the fact that what you really want is on its way to you. Like any pattern of thought, this is just a habit and habit need time and practice to change. When these words come up in your mind, you’ll need to recognize them, stop yourself from going further down that path, and re-orient yourself on that which pleases you.
