You already understand that knowledge is power. And when used properly, it can change the world.
But before taking on changing the world, there are the little changes each and every one of us struggles with. The ones we reject because we don’t fully understand them.
Manifestation, Attraction, the Law of Abundance are all widely misunderstood topics. They are often rejected people as some sort of mumbo jumbo hippie talk.
And that’s just because there are countless myths surrounding them. Myths that have been ingrained in our general knowledge and belief system so much, that we end up completely rejecting the true benefits of manifestation.
While there are numerous myths, I’ll share just a few of the ones I’ve personally struggled with. The ones that made my path cluttered with obstacles. And the ones that, once eliminated, paved the way for true abundance in my life.
1. Avoid Negativity
So many self-made manifestation “gurus” preach this. And it’s impossible. Negativity is not what comes from the outside. It’s our response to negative behavior, speeches, and actions. When met with understanding and compassion, negativity is the first building block on your path of self-fulfillment and manifestation. Become the energy you believe in and share it with others!
2. Focus, Fixate, Obsess
This is the most harmful myths out there. Obsessing about ANYTHING will only lead to frustration. It starts with excitement. Then quickly turns into frustration. The energy, the vibration you’re sending into the universe will no longer be a positive one. And you will not manifest your desires! You will BLOCK them.
So stop obsessing! You need to TRUST that you will manifest what you want.
3. Abundance = Material Gain
I personally started my manifestation journey desiring a better financial situation. I wanted to finish my mortgage early, to get rid of my student loans, and to qualify for a lease on a new car I really want. I even put them up on a vision board, alongside photos of my dream vacation destinations.
And nothing happened. Because every time I would look at them, I’d be sad and frustrated seeing all the things I did not have! Only when I gave up those feelings and realized that manifestation starts with a positive state of mind I was able to manifest them all.
4. It’s All About the Destination!
FALSE! And you might have felt it now. Because when you only focus on the final goal you miss amazing opportunities along the road. You miss connections, experiences, and most important, valuable life lessons that make the journey easier. So to put it simply, stop and smell the roses!
5. You Manifest Through Your Thoughts!
Now this will never happen! If you believe you can lie on your couch and a bag of cash will drop from the sky on your lap, you’re dead wrong! Manifestation works through thoughts, actions, feelings, AND frequency/vibration combined!
You won’t be able to manifest anything if you don’t take action towards your dreams. So yes, you need to open up and talk about your plans! You need to take action, even if it’s with basteps. It’s better than doing nothing and it’s definitely part of true manifestation techniques!
6. Manifest ing Is Hard and Difficult!
