So, you’ve been trying out the law of attraction and it just isn’t working for you.  You are wondering, “What’s going on?  Why is it taking so long?”  You begin to think this stuff just doesn’t work, or maybe it does for other people, but somehow you’re special and it just doesn’t work for you.

Here is one area you might explore

When you get together with friends or even when you listen to the self-talk in your own head, what story do you notice you are telling about your life or circumstances?  Are you focused on your clear, bright vision of your ideal life?  Are you feeling it and speaking of it as though it is already here?  Are you feeling the essence of why you want it?
Or–are you rehashing the past or stressing about the future?  Are you complaining, coming up with all the reasons why you can’t have what you want?  Do you subscribe to the misery loves company club?  When people ask how you are, what do you tell them? 

Chances are, it’s some combination of both.  The more you tell the story of lack, however, the S…L…O…W….E…R your manifestation will be in arriving.  If you listen to most conversations, people are chatting away about who did what to whom and how bad the economy is, how the government is corrupt and what awful thing their neighbor (spouse, mother, sibling, etc.) just did.  Sometimes it feels that in order to fit in, we need to be telling our tale of woe.  Don’t fall for it!  Where you choose to place your attention will determine what you are a vibrational match to.  You can be the example and set the tone.

And here’s another interesting fact:  Scientist have discovered that just five minutes of complaining will lower your immune system for the next six hours!
So What Can You Do?

It can be a challenge to speak as if you have already manifested something that is not here yet–especially the dream career or business, your ideal life.  The key here is remember the essence of why you want it.  How do you expect to feel when it is here in all it’s glory?  Sit with that in a quiet time and really get touch with that feeling.  Do you think you will feel a sense of aliveness, freedom, self-esteem?  Have you ever felt that way in your life before?  Remember that feeling and bring it into your body.  Where do you feel it?  What are some things you could do right now to create that feeling?  WHY do you want it?  What function will it serve in your life?  Can your needs be met in some other way?  Be open to how what you want will come to you.

When you practice getting into vibrational alignment with how you expect to feel–like you are “wearing” the vibration of what you want, then your manifestation will  happen more quickly.   Daily practice is key.   With practice, you will be able to bring that feeling up in an instant, no matter what else is going on around you.  And when people ask you how you are doing, you can honestly answer from that practiced place of feeling.  When they ask, “How’s business?” you can say, “It’s getting better and better!”
