Raise Your Abundance Vibration In 5 Easy Ways

Raise Your Abundance Vibration In 5 Easy Ways

by | Jan 7, 2021 | Energy, Law of Attraction, Manifestation | 0 comments

I remember years ago when I first heard about the need to raise your abundance vibration to attract more of what you want. At the time, I didn’t understand what this meant or how to go about doing it. I listened to Law of Attraction experts talk about positive thinking and positive emotions and I tried everything they suggested. It helped, but my life didn’t really change in any great way.

I still felt lacking, I still felt alone and I still felt powerless to truly change my life. I felt that way for a very long time. It was hard. In some ways, it felt harder to keep striving for change than to simply give up and accept that ‘this is just how life is’. I very nearly did exactly that.

Since then, I’ve learned that true acceptance is the path to peace and more abundance. But its one thing to settle for the status quo because the battle feels too painful and quite another to live in peaceful acceptance of the abundance that already exists. They each have a very different energy vibration.

To raise your abundance vibration is to shift to a higher, faster vibration. Not just in your thoughts or emotions, but in your body.

The vibrational frequency that attracts everything to you is found in every cell in your body.

The way to raise your abundance vibration is to focus on the physical body. It’s your physical body that’s manifesting your physical reality. The clearer the energy flow in your body is, the higher your vibration will be.

Here’s 5 simple ways to start shifting to a higher frequency.

Breathe

If you’re reading this article, then you’re clearly breathing. But oxygen is absolutely vital for energy flow. Without enough oxygen, the vibration in your cells will slow down and they will start to die. Given that every cell is an individual power source for life, it’s vital that they receive what they need to stay healthy and vital. The healthier they are, the faster they will vibrate. The faster they vibrate, the clearer the energy flow.

To receive the full benefits of oxygen, we must breathe deeply. Most people don’t think about how they breathe and therefore the amount of oxygen that enters their body is limited. Its important to inflate the entire lung including the lower part that is connected to the nervous system. A lot of the symptoms of anxiety can be alleviated by simply taking some deep belly breaths. As you breathe in, your belly should expand fully. As you breathe out, your belly should deflate fully.

Stop and take 3-4 deep belly breaths every hour and you will immediately feel the increase in energy that the additional oxygen will provide.

Eat Lightly

The food you eat has a massive impact on how you feel. When you eat heavy food, you’ll feel heavy. When you eat light food, you’ll feel light. There is a direct correlation between the food you eat and the amount of energy you have.

What do I mean by heavy or light food?

Examples of heavy food could include starchy vegetables, bread, pasta, meat, dairy, sugary treats and fried food. The quantity of food is also important. Let’s think about the western Christmas dinner for a moment. It’s a veritable feast of heavy food. And what happens when everyone’s finished eating? They fall asleep. Your body literally shuts you down so it can go to work digesting and eliminating everything it cannot use. When you eat heavy food, your body needs to go into overdrive to process it. This can take many hours and expend a lot of energy. Your vibration slows as a result.

Examples of light food could include salad greens, fruit, nuts, raw vegetables and some grains. When you eat light food, your body is able to quickly process it and return to maximum vibration.

When you eat mostly light *food, you raise your abundance vibration, feel lighter, more energized and more vibrant.

Rest

Your body needs you to stop so it can work on repairing and restoring the health of your cells. When we’re constantly distracting ourselves with technology, running from task to task and thinking all the time, our body doesn’t have the chance to focus on the vital systems of keeping you healthy. It will do the most vital tasks while you’re sleeping but many of the more complex tasks get left undone. Over time this creates breakages in the system and energy cannot flow correctly. Sleep is important but so is rest. Take time to sit in nature, meditate, reflect or just be. When the internal systems in your body are working efficiently, energy flows freely. The clearer the flow, the higher your vibration.

Move Your Body

We understand that exercise is important for health. There’s a saying, ‘use it or lose it’ that really applies here. But it’s also important to move so that energy doesn’t become stagnant. It’s a bit like the contrast between a flowing stream and a pond. The constant movement of a stream keeps the water clear and fresh but a pond needs maintenance as the lack of movement causes stagnation. Stagnation is slow flow and it’s the same with the energy flow in your body. Moving your body gets your heart pumping, your lungs expanding and contracting and ‘shakes everything up’. Movement is therefore vital for efficient energy flow. It doesn’t have to be high intensity *exercise but the more you can move, the higher your vibration will be.

Check Your Posture

This is one of the most simple but powerful things you can do for yourself. When you ‘stand up straight’ you immediately increase the flow of oxygen around your body. Every organ returns to it’s correct position, veins can open up freely and your energy is free to flow without blockages.  Stand up, take a deep breath in, push your shoulders back to open your chest, lift your head and look straight ahead. You’ll immediately feel a sense of freedom in your body. This is increased energy flow and its one of the easiest ways to raise your abundance vibration.

In conclusion, bring your awareness to your body as the powerhouse of energy that it is. Pay attention to how you breathe, eat, rest and move. And always lift your ribcage up and out, pull your stomach muscles in to support your spine and keep your chin lifted away from your chest. Practice this when you sit, when you stand and when you walk.

With practice and awareness, you will feel lighter, more energised and you will raise your abundance vibration to attract more of what you truly want.

Changing Your Thoughts Is Not Enough To Change Your Life

Changing Your Thoughts Is Not Enough To Change Your Life

by | Jun 6, 2020 | Energy, Law of Attraction, Manifestation | 0 comments

You’ve probably heard  that changing your thoughts will change your life. But although your thoughts have a lot of power, they are not enough on their own to change your life.

Here’s why …

Everything we learn throughout our lives is imprinted through the projection and absorption of energy. We’re receiving and imparting information through emotion. Or to put it another way; through e-motion (energy in motion). It’s the energy behind what we say, hear, see and do that leaves the biggest imprint. We forget the things we only ‘hear about’; we remember the things we ‘feel about’.

Without feeling there can be no knowing – Allanah Hunt

Think about it in terms of watching a movie or reading a novel.

Some storylines really speak to you and you connect deeply with the characters. They stay with you for a while even after the movie or novel has ended. When you see the book or film trailor in the future, you will probably feel an echo of the same emotions you felt during your previous experience of it.

Other stories leave you cold. You watch or read impassively and when its over, you promptly forget about it. In fact, you may not even remember you’ve read the book or seen the movie if it comes across your path in the future.

I use this example because it reminds me of a book I started reading a few years ago. The book started off really well. It engaged my attention and I was enthralled by the storyline.

But as the author wove the plot deeper into the book, I began to have doubts. Although I liked the characters and the idea behind the story was great, it started to get a little far-fetched. I began to wonder how the character was going to get out of the predicament he’d created for himself.

And then … I turned a page and that was it for me.

The author had literally written himself into a corner and the only way out was to invent a completely ridiculous escape. Something to do with a cat with supernatural powers. I don’t remember the details because at that point I threw the book down in frustration and disappointment.

 

We Learn Through Emotion

I will never forget that book. I can’t tell you what it was called, who wrote it or how it ended, but I remember how I felt about it. I remember the part of the story I reacted to but I don’t remember the rest.

 

I connected with that story and it moved me. It moved my energy in two equal but opposing directions. My level of enjoyment was equalled by my level of disappointment. I had a strong e-motional response. That emotional response imprinted a memory and I can still feel an echo of those emotions when I think about the book now.

It’s the same in life. The experiences that are the most emotionally charged, are the ones we remember most. We don’t always remember the surrounding events clearly, but the energy of those experiences is imprinted forever.

That energetic imprint is triggered when we experience an event in the future that unconsciously reminds us of the past. And we will always act when e-motion moves us.

There’s another way of illustrating this too.

How do you KNOW something is true? It feels true doesn’t it. There’s a congruence between the thoughts in your mind and the feeling in your body. I call this Energetic Alignment.

And how do you KNOW something is a lie? It feels like a lie. There’s an incongruence between what you’re hearing and how you’re feeling in your body. I call this Energetic Conflict.

With me so far?

Sounds reasonable doesn’t it? But there’s a catch.

There’s a reason certain things feel true and others feel like a lie. And it has almost nothing to do with absolutes and almost everything to do with imprinting.

A child learns through watching other people’s reactions, responses, emotions and behaviour. As another person’s energy moves, a child instinctively responds and it leaves an imprint. That imprint becomes their truth. It becomes a part of the child’s normal.

In essence, they’ve learned a model of the world by watching others model the world to them.

This is true for every single one of us. What we’ve learned has become our truth. It’s become what we believe absolutely.

Why do we believe it?

Because it feels true. There is an alignment between the thoughts in our head and the way we feel in our body.

Which is where life gets really interesting …

Why?

Firstly because we each believe something different. We each have a different version of the truth. We each have an individual version of normal. My normal is different from yours, which is different from your partner’s, parent’s, children’s, friend’s and so on.

People with a similar version of normal feel right to us whereas people with a very different version of normal feel wrong.

We’re attracted to some people and repelled by others. There’s either an energy match or an energy mis-match.

When something feels right, you’ll embrace it.

When something feels wrong, you’ll reject it.

Secondly, what we believe to be true is guiding our lives. Or to put it more strongly, driving our lives. The way we feel about something determines what we’ll see, how we’ll react, respond or behave and the choices we’ll make. This is how we’re creating our experience of life.

What feels true becomes true – Allanah Hunt

That’s why changing your thoughts is not enough. Your thoughts are simply a projection of what you already know to be true. When you try to convince yourself that something else is true, it feels like a lie.

How do you know something is true? There’s an alignment between what you hear, the thoughts in your mind and the feeling in your body.

And how do you know something is a lie?  There’s a conflict between what you hear, the thoughts in your head and how you’re feeling in your body.

That alignment or conflict is a result of instinctive learning through emotional imprints. It’s unconscious and it’s the foundation of your life.

Reality therefore, is nothing more than a ever looping series of personal truths made manifest through the power of Energetic Alignment.

Your life will always reflect what you unconsciously know to be true.

If your life is going brilliantly well, you can stop reading now. You’re already energetically aligned with what you want. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

But if your life doesn’t look the way you want it to then you might want to keep reading because chances are, at least some of what you unconsciously know to be true is not the truth at all. Perhaps its just a lie in disguise.

The lies that are manifesting your life

Everything you know about life has been imprinted by others. Your parents, your teachers, your peers and your society.

Some of what you know has come from conscious learning. Lessons taught in school, how to drive a car or how to use an app are all examples of conscious learning. This type of learning is easy for you to access and simple to alter as new facts come to light.

But most of what you know has been unconsciously learned.

You’ve learned by unconsciously absorbing other people’s truths through the imprint of e-motion. 

You’ve learned a lot through reward and punishment. When you behave in a way that pleases others, you get a reward. It might be a smile, a hug, a compliment or some sort of certificate or gift. When you behave in a way that displeases others, you get a punishment. It might be a frown, a cold shoulder, a telling off or you may have something taken away from you. Although you may not always comply with others’ expectations, you nonetheless learn what’s acceptable and what’s not. 

But you also learn by feeling other people’s emotions around situations that do not directly involve you.

You’ve learned about love or more specifically, what love looks and feels like. You’ve absorbed people’s opinions and judgements of others and they may have become a measure of how you choose a partner. How you choose your friends. Or how you love yourself.

You’ve learned about money or more specifically, how easy or hard it is to come by. You’ve absorbed people’s opinions and judgement about the poor, the rich and those in between. Those opinions may have become a measure for your career choices. How you value money. Or for how you value yourself.

You’ve learned about food, exercise, humor, how to think, how to act, who to be and the difference between right and wrong by the way others’ respond to everything that happens around them.

Slowly and subtly you’ve learned the unconscious truths that are currently manifesting your life.

Not through what people have told you but through what people have shown you. Their responses, actions and emotions have left deep imprints that are driving your life today.

It’s not enough to change your thoughts. You haven’t learned through thinking. You’ve learned through feeling. You’ve learned through emotion – energy in motion.

When something feels right, you’ll embrace it.

When something feels wrong, you’ll reject it.

The only way to replace the unconscious ‘lies’ that currently feel like the truth, is to release the energetic imprint of them. This creates space to learn a new truth. To imprint a new truth through feeling.

You cannot change your life by changing your thoughts by force. You will only create conflict.

Your reality will automatically and effortlessly shift when your energetic alignment shifts.

Ask, Believe, Receive. Are You Saying ‘NO’ To What You Want Most?

Ask, Believe, Receive. Are You Saying ‘NO’ To What You Want Most?

Ask, Believe, Receive

This is the creative process that is as old as time itself. It’s been mentioned in every religious text and spoken of by mystics, philosophers and Law of Attraction teachers throughout the ages.

I’m sure you’ve heard of it too.

It’s a simple three step process that many people see as the key to manifesting everything they want.

And of course it is.

But, there’s more to this creative process than meets the eye.

In over 10 years of studying the Law of Attraction and Manifestation, I’ve learned that the way most people are using the creative process is backwards. When you start by asking for what you want you shift your focus away from the truth of this process.

The real key to manifesting everything you want is being ready and willing to receive.

I can hear you saying you’re ready. I thought I was too.

I’d asked and asked. I’d worked hard to expand my mind to believe that it could happen for me. I focused my thoughts on the abundance I knew was coming. I did everything I thought I needed to do to make the Law of Attraction work for me.

Nothing happened.

Well perhaps not nothing, but nothing substantial. Nothing life changing. And certainly nothing that felt like my ‘prayers’ had been answered.

I became disillusioned and felt like giving up. I very nearly did.

But somewhere deep within me, there burned a tiny flame. A spark that told me I was missing something. A spark that told me there was something more …

So I went searching for it.

Have you ever heard the saying, ‘Seek and you will find?’

Well I found the missing piece of the puzzle and it changed everything.

Because I had the creative process backwards.

I’ll let you into a little secret.

The Law of Attraction and Manifestation is all about Energetic Alignment

You could call it vibration or frequency. Not the vibration or frequency of your thoughts but the vibration or frequency of your energy.

How do you know what your energetic alignment is?

You’ll feel it as your core emotional state.

It’s important to understand the difference between your emotional state and your emotions.

You’re emotional state is your ‘all the time’ energetic state.

It’s the way you feel in your body most of the time. The way you feel when there’s nothing particular going on. When you’re just going about your day. When life is just humming along and there’s nothing to spark a specific emotion. You probably won’t even notice how you feel because it’s your ‘normal’.

But your energy is always vibrating.

It’s your life force. And it’s manifesting your life.

Emotion = E-motion. Energy in motion. Or more specifically, your energy in motion.

When you feel an emotion, you’re really feeling your own energy move in response to something or someone else.

The event, circumstance, or person is simply the trigger that sparks your energy into motion. Each time you act or *react from the energy spark you’re feeling, you either reinforce your existing energetic alignment or realign your energy to a new vibration or frequency.

*(re-action = re-enacting a past experience as if it’s happening today)

Your Energetic Alignment is your Energetic State

It’s the vibration of your energetic state that is manifesting your life

Ask, Believe, Receive

Your Energetic Alignment signals what you BELIEVE

What you BELIEVE is what you unconsciously ASK for

And you will always RECEIVE whatever you unconsciously BELIEVE and ASK for

It will happen automatically

It can’t be any other way.

This is the Law of Attraction in action.

Getting ready to RECEIVE is the act of Energy Re-alignment

How do you do that?

Start by becoming aware of your thoughts, emotions and actions.

Instead of pushing away the ‘negative’ thoughts and trying to change them, listen to what they have to say. Your thoughts are literally your energy communicating with you in words. Behind every thought there’s an emotion. And emotion drive action.

Your thoughts and emotions will always match because it’s your energy you’re experiencing. When you pay attention, you can connect with the energetic alignment that is manifesting your life. You can learn what it feels like.

And that knowledge frees you to make a powerful shift in each and every moment.

It frees you to release and replace.

To repair and restore.

To realign and recreate your life anew

Abundance is your birthright

Your wish is my command!

 

Vantage Point – Shift Your View, Shift Your Life

Vantage Point – Shift Your View, Shift Your Life

by | Jun 30, 2018 | Energy, Law of Attraction, Manifestation | 0 comments

A few years ago I watched a Dennis Quaid film called Vantage Point. The film was full of action but it wasn’t the storyline that made the biggest impact on me. It was the way it was filmed.

The film starts with the President of the United States being shot while delivering a speech in a public square in Spain after which a bomb explodes killing many of the crowd who had come to hear him speak. This might sound like a ‘spoiler alert’ but this all happens in the first 10 minutes of the film. After the bomb explodes the pieces of the scene fly back together in a super fast rewind before starting to play again. This happens several times and although to begin with you’re not sure quite what’s going on, as you watch you realise that you’re seeing the same events but through the eyes of a different person. Each time the footage plays you’re seeing a different perspective or from a new Vantage Point.

It’s actually very clever. The story plays out like a modern day ‘whodunnit’ and as you watch you begin to see how the events you’ve seen in each of the versions fit together.

And the reason this made such a big impact on me?

It reminded me of life

Each one of us is seeing the events around us through our own eyes. Through our own perception and perspective. From our own Vantage Point. It’s natural that this is how it is right? We look at what’s happening, what we’re experiencing and we tell ourselves that what we see is the truth.

But is it really? Or perhaps its just a version of the truth which if you were to shift your Vantage Point, or shift your perspective, might disappear and reappear as something quite different. What you see always depends on where you stand.

Some things are hidden from view because something else is blocking the line of sight

It doesn’t mean it isn’t there though.

If you move a little, or a lot, suddenly more is revealed

Think about buying tickets for a concert or sports match held in a stadium. Usually there is a sliding purchase price depending on how good the view is from the seats you select. If you want the best Vantage Point, where you get to see everything clearly, you may need to pay a little more. If you choose the cheaper seats then chances are you will miss some of the action. You might see it on the big screen but from where you’re sitting, you can’t see it at all.

And isn’t that what the big screen is for? To ensure you don’t miss the action no matter where you choose to sit? Let’s think about the big screen as the big picture. The big picture is made up of millions of tiny information pixels and if some of them don’t get displayed correctly, the picture is incomplete.

It’s the same with life

To see the big picture we need to have all the information. Most of us never take the time or make the effort to get all the information to discover the truth. We simply look at what’s happening from the viewpoint we’ve been given and believe that that’s all there is.

But there is so much more. What if you were the person on the other side of the conversation.

How might it look from there?

You’ve probably heard the expression ‘put yourself in somebody else’s shoes’. And maybe you’ve tried to do that. Maybe you’ve been able to imagine how someone might be feeling based on how you think you might feel in the same situation.

But what if it’s closer to home. What about when it’s someone you’re disagreeing with? Or someone you’re arguing with? How easy is it for you to shift your view then?

Not so simple huh?

It’s important to remember that everything is subjective and just because something is true for you from your experience, doesn’t make it true for someone else. They are looking through their own experiences and their own understandings.

You’re standing at a very different Vantage Point …

Sometimes it’s hard to accept that what we believe to be true is only part of the view. That in fact where we’re standing is dictating the view we can see. And if we were to honestly and respectfully change places, we might see a very different truth.

Think of the referee on the football pitch. It’s difficult for them to see everything as the action happens very fast. But the on-pitch cameras catch it all. They are positioned in various places around the stadium so they can catch the events from every perspective. If one camera doesn’t show the action clearly, another one will. When you view the action from different angles, the big picture is revealed allowing the referee to make the correct decision.

Same in life.

Only when we shift our view can we see the big picture

Only then can we see the truth that lies between two people. The next time you find yourself in an argument or disagreement with someone, why not take a step back for a moment. Press rewind and look again from a different Vantage Point. Adding a new perspective to what you’ve always believed to be true is life changing. You cannot simply go back and ‘un-see’ what you’ve discovered.

Look again

What you see might surprise you!

Being Real (Staying Authentic) In A World Of Fake

Being Real (Staying Authentic) In A World Of Fake

Being Real (Staying Authentic) In A World Of Fake
Energy | It's All About You
Allanah Hunt

Staying authentic or being real is not easy in a world of reality TV, inflated egos, exaggerated success and fabricated identities.

It can feel like you need to put on a mask to get noticed, to attract attention or to make any kind of impact.

However, the problem with this strategy is that the world is tired of fake smiles and although we have become accustomed to following those stars of reality, in truth many people are looking for someone who is real, is authentic and who they can trust. They have become sceptical of fake news, rigged television shows and ‘celebs’ who are simply famous for being famous.

The world needs you to be your true self. Even if that world is just the few people you interact with on a daily basis. Your children need to you to be the best version of you so they can become the best version of them. Your partner needs you to be you so they can connect with the reasons you’re together. Your work colleagues need you to be you so they can benefit from your knowledge and your wisdom. The company you work for needs you to be you so you can show up and do your best. Your friends need you to be you so you can be honest and true with each other.

And you need you to be you so you can truly experience life in its fullest.

So how can you keep yourself real in a world that demonstrates the opposite?

Take Time Alone

Life has become a superhighway of information and we’re so often running between our real world responsibilities and the demands of a technological world, that there’s no time for anything else. Our ‘down time’ is television watching, Netflix and social media. Scrolling constantly through a news feed to keep up with what’s happening ‘out there’ instead of taking time to discover what’s happening ‘in here’.

Many people exist in some kind of hovering space, suspended apart from themselves as they live vicariously through others. Almost like watching the world flow around them without actually being a part of it. When we focus on what is outside of ourselves, instead of what is within, we become a version of everything we surround ourselves with.

How can you be real if you don’t take the time to connect with who you are?

To know yourself, you must take time to be with yourself. Being by yourself and entertained by technology is not alone time – it’s simply keeping yourself distracted. Alone time is time away from distractions. It’s taking a walk in nature, it’s meditating, it’s going for a long drive in silence, it’s journal writing, it’s a long bath on a cold evening. Alone time is you and yourself, alone and connected.

Put Your Needs First

Your needs are important. In fact, meeting your own needs is absolutely vital as it affects every part of your life. When we take care of others without also taking care of ourselves, we find we are in a constant state of reaction. We’re playing catch-up, constantly on the back foot, desperately trying to cope, to manage and to be all things to all people. This leaves little space for you to act from your true self.

But when you take care of yourself first, you can show up in all your glory. Instead of feeling fragmented and frazzled, you will be calm and capable. Instead of being irritable and overwhelmed, you will be happy and enjoy your interactions with others.

And it’s a reciprocal process. As you take care of yourself and show up being real, the people around you will also be happier, more content and more loving and kind to you.

Follow Your Peace

In between the madness that is modern life, there are moments of peace. A sometimes fleeting moment when you catch a glimpse of yourself. When your mind is quiet, when just for a second, you sit outside chaos and simply are.

Watch out for those moments. Learn to recognise them. It’s whatever makes you sigh in contentment. It’s when you feel most yourself. It’s when you’re being real. What surrounds those seconds of peace. Where are you? What are you doing?

By paying attention to those times when everything feels right in your world, no matter how fleeting they might be, you can begin to deliberately create an atmosphere of peace for yourself.  Follow your peace. Step into your peace. This is where you will find balance, serenity and ultimately where you will find yourself.

Find Your Courage

Life has a way of bringing us to heel. We discover very quickly that there are certain things that are ‘normal’ and certain things that make us ‘weird’. And for sure there are rules of society that we need to obey to maintain order. But it’s the people who are prepared to be go through life being real no matter what the consequences, who truly live. Who change the world.

Courage lives in the heart of each of us but sometimes we lose it.

It becomes smaller each time we put ourselves ‘out there’ and get knocked down, but it never goes away. You can tap into that courage that saw you climb trees, run into the waves, make new friends, learn to drive and fall in love, anytime you choose.

I choose to be true to myself, despite the risk of ridicule from others, rather than try so hard to fit in that I end up incurring my own dislike – Allanah Hunt

Build Your Resilience

There’s courage and then there’s resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back when life knocks you down. It’s the ability to harness the strength within you to get up and try again. It’s the choice to never give up on life. Resilience is all about adapting. And more importantly, being willing to adapt. Nothing stands still and the tighter we hold on, the more we hurt.

Start by making small changes and tiny alterations. Put yourself in new situations. Use your courage and inner strength to build resilience for life so when the big things occur, as they ultimately will, you can grow and adapt. So you can embrace change without losing yourself.

Revel In Your Uniqueness

We all have things that make us unique and special but when we’re trying to ‘fit in’ we focus on our similarities to others rather than our differences. We hesitate to bring our sense of humour to a conversation for fear of ridicule. We dress in clothing that makes us indistinguishable from others and in doing so we extinguish our bright light. 

We quiet our inner voice and instead show up in a way that we hope will make us acceptable.

We shy away from what brings us joy preferring to follow the crowd in apathy. We conform to an ideal we believe is ‘right’ instead of embracing our true uniqueness.

Don’t be a clone that belongs. Be brave and allow your specialness to come out of the darkness where it is hiding. Let it break forth and revel in it. Buy that item of clothing that keeps drawing your eye. Let your spontaneity burst forth and see where it goes. Allow yourself to be different from those you currently know and pay attention to the new people you meet. As you allow your uniqueness to shine, others can too.

Share Yourself

Being real comes from deep within you. It’s that part of you that is brave, that part of you that is resilient, that part of you that is at peace. When you’re completely connected to your real self, you will automatically show up in the world as you.

You will lower the masks that have allowed you to feel safe but have ultimately become a pretence that is painful. You will stand a little taller, smile a little wider and laugh a little louder. Your natural beauty, inside and out, will begin to shine more brightly and your eyes will sparkle with authenticity. People will fall in love with you, admire and trust you as you step more fully into your realness.

And those who don’t can simply go on their way. You can let them go in the knowledge that nothing is ever lost.

Even if you miss them for a moment, you’ve missed yourself even more.

And now that you’re here, you will stay true to you no matter what.

Because you are too important to sit on the side-lines of your own life.

Because it’s time to be real

It’s time to be YOU!

5 Reasons That Stop You Achieving Your Goals (and what they truly mean)

5 Reasons That Stop You Achieving Your Goals (and what they truly mean)

by | Apr 2, 2018 | Energy, It's All About You, Manifestation

How many times have you given yourself a hard time for not being where you want to be? Whether it’s business goals, a New Year’s resolution, a new skill or just one of those many things you’ve started but never completed, we all have times when despite our desire for things to be ‘different’ we just can’t seem to take the action that will get us there.

It’s frustrating, debilitating and downright detrimental to your self-esteem and self-belief.  You know you can do it, you can visualize it being your reality but … for one reason or another, it’s just not happening for you.

So let’s take a look at five of those reasons and see if we can figure out what’s truly going on. Take note of the reasons that feel familiar or true to you but do yourself a favour and read to the end as that’s where I’ll bring it all together and give you some tools to move yourself toward your goals.

I Have Too Much Else To Do …

Busyness has become an obsession in our fast moving world. There’s work, the kids, the house, friends, obligations, activities, technology, other people’s expectations … sometimes it feels like we’re on a merry-go-round that we can’t get off.

But if you break it down, how much time do you spend doing each of the ‘must do’s’ on your list? How many hours a day, a week, a month do these things consume? If you were to keep a time-sheet of your busyness for an entire month, you might be surprised at how much free time you actually have access to.

Even if you are an exceptionally busy person, there are ways to prioritise your activities to make space for the things that are important.

It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? – Henry David Thoreau

I’ll Do It When …

This is one I’ve used many times and to be honest, it still comes up for me from time to time. NOW just doesn’t feel like the right time. In reality, I’m simply putting off something that I could start today.

This could sound like:

  • I’ll start my new eating program on Monday – it just doesn’t make sense to start today
  • I’m working on other things right now but once I’ve finished those, I’ll get right on it.
  • I’ve got a super jammed schedule this week but next week looks better – I’ll start then
  • It’s taken this long to start, a bit longer won’t make any difference

Don’t wait until the perfect time to begins something important. Sometimes later becomes never – Allanah Hunt

It’s Really Not That Important …

When we’re struggling to take action towards goals we know are vital if we are to live the life we truly want, it’s easy to convince ourselves that it doesn’t really matter.

This might sound like:

  • Yeah, it’d be nice to finish that project but it’s not as if I’m going to end world hunger
  • I guess if it was important to me, I would have done it by now
  • It’s not really going to make that much difference to my life
  • My life is okay as it is – I don’t need that thing to be happy

All of these sound valid and reasonable, and all of them will stop you in your tracks.

I Need More Information Before I Can Start …

I love learning and have spent many years gathering information. My brain is full of knowledge but all the knowledge in the world, will not help me take action towards my goals. Information is stored in a part of the brain that is very different from the action taking section.

I know so many entrepreneurs who get stuck in this place. The search for knowledge is admirable and often necessary, but it’s easy to stay in the learning loop and never use it to catapult you to what you want.

This may sound like:

  • Once I know how to do this … I’ll be flying
  • I don’t understand how that technology works
  • I need to create a system for that
  • I’m not sure what the best plan is for me

Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge. Let your learning lead to action – Jim Rohn

Something Came Up …

There are times of course when life temporarily gets in the way of our goals and we must turn our attention to something else. However, it is easy to look at all the other things that ‘come up’ and forget to turn out focus back to what we desire for ourselves and get back on track.

There will always be distractions or something in your periphery vision, sometimes valid but most simply designed to take your focus away from the changes you want to make.

And then there’s ‘shiny object syndrome’ (SOS) which I work consciously to ignore but something that still plagues me from time to time.

SOS may sound like this:

  • That was a good idea but this one is better
  • What if I was to do this instead?
  • I’m not sure if I like that … I think I’ll start again

I remind myself that the path to achieving my goals is dedicated, persistent and aligned action. Progress is one foot in front of the other in the same direction whilst leaving space for inspiration to guide you.

All of the reasons above are real and at times they are appropriate. But sometimes these are stories we tell ourselves to ‘let ourselves off the hook’.

There’s a couple of things going on that when any of these or other reasons come up.

Firstly, your brain is designed to keep you safe and will send out an automatic ‘warning’ message when you start to do something new. The message is heard as a doubt and often followed by a seemingly rational reason not to take action. This is your brain’s job but you get to make the ultimate choice. Unfortunately, many of us get stuck here and second guess our desires. Doubt can feel like your intuition, but it’s often just your brain alerting you to the fact you’re taking an action you’ve never taken before.

You can use a simple technique when you hear that little warning voice. Thank your brain for taking such good care of you and ask it to support you in what you want to do. You may need to do this several times, you may need to do it every time you sit down to focus on what you want for a while, but if you keep taking action, your brain will catch up as it understands and adapts.

And secondly, sometimes what you want is not aligned with your values. We are all driven by the desire to meet some fundamental needs. The fastest and most efficient way to push through any internal resistance and find your true motivation to take action, is to tie what you want to your highest values.

According to Tony Robbins, the key six human needs we are all driven by are:

  • The need to feel loved and connected to others
  • The need to feel important or belong
  • The need to know what to expect
  • The need for the excitement of something new
  • The need to evolve and grow
  • The need to give to others or make a difference

When you are able to identify the top one or two needs you are driven to meet in your own life, and tie your desired outcome to what drives you, you will no longer hear the reasons that stop you from taking action towards your goals. You will be determined, focused and do whatever it takes to create what you desire for yourself.
