Allowance

Okay – you know WHAT you want (Clarity), you lined up with your idea 100% (Alignment). Now, are you standing in the way of it happening?

Allowance is about being nonresistant and open to letting in whatever it is that you want. It’s not unusual for great opportunities to show up on your doorstep and be ignored.

Why? resistance, that’s why. Resistance will counteract any manifestation of what you want. Resistance will cancel out any movement forward. Resistance prevents what you want from coming to you. We all do this to some degree, and we are not usually doing it consciously. After all, who would deliberately set out to create something and then mess it up right before it happens? Not me! Nevertheless, I do it all the time.

The most common method and the easiest way to resist is through negative thought or negative self-talk (see the link above). This can be very subtle. Slinking in to your thought patterns, and insinuating itself comfortably so you don’t recognize it.

Two of my favorites are the simple, “Yeah, right!” attitude that clearly says to the Universe that I REALLY do not believe this will ever happen. Or how about the “Yeah, but…” statement that will stop any movement forward by focusing on all the probable negative consequences of something?

Well, there are tons of negative thoughts that hang out in my mind, and it takes some awareness to recognize them. Once you recognize them, the easiest way of circumventing those tiny negative thoughts is to substitute another, better feeling thought in its place. For instance, the “Yeah, right’s” can become “It’s possible..”, and the “Yeah, but’s” can become “The good thing is…” At some point it just becomes a habit to think the positive thoughts, then your most natural train of thought will be less resisting.

Resistance shows up in lots of forms. You’ll recognize it by how it feels. These are all going to have varying degrees of negative emotion attached to them:

• Self doubt
• Feeling inadequate
• Lack of money
• Measuring how far you have yet to go
• No time
• No people who support your dream
• Missed opportunities
• Lack of education
• Physical limitations

When you feel like tackling one of these monsters, you might begin some intensive Personal Development work. Think of this list as guide posts that are pointing you to your next steps. You can counter any form resistance by actively finding a remedy.

Go down the list again. Feeling doubtful, inadequate and lack of support from family & friends? Go find people who will build you up. There are many groups out there that will do that. Can’t find one? Start one. Is a lack of education is holding you back? That’s an easy one to fix – find a class and go for it! Every single thing your mind can invent to stop you from proceeding toward your goal can be overcome.

Sometimes the best way of getting out of resistance and into allowance is to temporarily focus elsewhere long enough to feel all negativity lift. See a movie, take a nap, meditate. Stop thinking about the lack of that thing you’re after and grab some positive thoughts and hang on to them. Make a list of positive thoughts and carry it around with you like a security blanket.

The Universe is generous. More opportunities will show up, just make certain you step into the next one that arrives. Be courageous about this. If it takes doing some “processes” to alleviate limiting belief, ease your fear, or adapt to a new function in your life, you can do it. You’ve read or heard about other people’s success stories. That can be you…get off the couch and go for it, whatever it is. Do whatever it takes.

I got this in my email this morning. It seems to refer to this subject.
