Here’s Why You’re Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction

Here's Why You're Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction

So you’ve discovered then Law of Attraction and you’re super pumped about creating results with your findings!

You set your intention, put it out there then you sit back and wait….and wait…and wait.

Does that sound familiar?

When you don’t get the results you want fast, it can be hard not to take it all personally.

The first thing to understand is that this isn’t because the Law isn’t working!

It’s always working–just like gravity!

The true problem always comes back to us. And I’m willing to bet there’s a good chance that you’ve probably just gotten in your own way.

When you’re not getting results with the Law of Attraction, typically one of three things has gone wrong.

So if you’re serious about getting results, then it’s time to troubleshoot your manifesting practice!

Today we’re going to dive right into the three main reasons why you’re not manifesting results so you can make the adjustments and get back on track again.


3 Reasons Why You’re Not Getting Results With The Law Of Attraction


Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction Reason #1:

You Don’t Really Want It



Well here it is–the most obvious and important manifesting question of all–do you really want your goal or intention?

And I mean on a heart and soul, cell-shifting passion sort of level?

It wouldn’t be all that weird if the answer was actually no.

Sometimes we attempt to manifest things because we think we should: Because everyone else is doing it. Because that’s just the way it is! Because that’s what we’ve always wanted. Because what else would we even do?

Or maybe you’re trying to manifest for some dark reasons: Because we want to one-up someone or to show someone that we were right. Or because we want to validate ourselves from someone or something in your past.

As I always say, you can manifest anything you want as long as you’re clear about your why.

But if you’re coming from one of those dark places (revenge, ego-boosting), then your energy is still tied to that dark place. It’s pretty damn difficult to manifest things when your core energy is hurt or anger!

It’s also difficult to manifest things that you aren’t actually all that pumped about!

So it’s time to get honest with yourself! In the end, you’re living your life for you. Trying to prove something to someone else or to follow the pack is just taking your precious time and energy away from the things that you do want.

The Cure: Always make sure your manifesting wishes are aligned to your soul mission! Your purpose. Your life’s work! And if you don’t know what that is quite yet, then go for the things that truly light you up–not the things that you think other people will be impressed with you for.

Why You're Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction


Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction Reason #2:

You Don’t Believe You Can Have It



Do you really (again, like with your whole heart) believe that you CAN have your intention?

It’s one thing to want something. It’s an entirely different game to truly believe that you can have it!

Many of us get stuck on feeling worthy of our goals. We want something but we also have a million excuses why we can’t have it: We’re not skinny or pretty enough. We haven’t “earned” it. No one’s told us we can Who do we think we are asking for that anyway?

If this resonates with you then it’s time to work on your worthiness levels! And the best way to do that is to just throw the idea of worthiness straight out the window.

The problem with the idea of worthiness is that when we fall for that line of thinking, we never ever truly measure up to where we think we should be. There will always be more work to do, more effort to put in, more weight to lose, a boyfriend to find. Our brain is really good at looking at successful people and figuring out all the “reasons” why we’re so different from them–and then turning that into an excuse for us not being there!

It’s totally normal to have doubts and even experience some negative emotions around your intention. But if you can’t EVER get on the level of believing that your wish can be yours, then you’ve got some work to do.

The Cure: One of the best ways to jump over this hoop is to look for people who embody the thing you want. No one is perfect! There’s surely SOMEONE out there in the world who’s doing the damn thing despite all the million excuses your brain has told you are in your way. Find that person (or those people!) and spend your energy (aka time and attention) on them. The more you can train your brain to see that all those reasons its come up with are stupid, the easier it will be for you to conquer those limiting beliefs and move forward!

Why You're Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction


Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction Reason #3:

You Think Something Bad Will Happen If You Get It



Secret worries about future potential problems are the sneakiest of all the manifesting blocks!

Life isn’t perfect! And that means when we up-level our life and start going for new scary goals, then we’ll automatically inherit a whole new set of problems! (“Mo’ money, mo’ problems!” as they say!)

Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have MORE problems in your life. But every intention and goal (no matter how good!) will give you a whole set of new ones.

The real issue here is that our brain likes to keep us comfy and cozy. Above all else, it’s primary job is to keep us SAFE (so we can have babies and keep that DNA going!). So our brain is hyper-wired to be on the constant lookout for DANGER. (We’re all the descendants of people who SURVIVED all that danger!)

Obviously, in this modern age, the new situations and problems we’re inviting into our life are rarely actually dangerous but our brain hasn’t got the memo just yet! It would rather stay over here, dealing with the shitty problems we already have, thank-you-very-much. Because even though we have problems now, at least we already KNOW what these problems are. Who knows what those new problems are all about! And the unknown=eeeek.

The Cure: It’s time to take over our brain and let it know we’re in charge!

The best thing to do in this situation is to acknowledge all the potential problems square on so that our brain won’t feel so unprepared (and therefore likely to run away or self-sabotage).

This is where I like to play the Why? Game Which really means just asking yourself the question why three times.

Here’s an example of the Why? Game at work:

Q #1: Why don’t I want to get the raise at work?
A: Because I’ll have to take over a bunch of new responsibilities and I’m not sure I can handle it.

Q #2: Why don’t I think I can handle it?
A: Because I get nervous around new things and the person who currently does that job does it so well.

Q #3: Why do I think that person can handle better than I can?
A: That person has been there for years and is much older than me! I’m not sure I can keep up.

Seeing your fears for exactly what they are has a funny way of lessening their hold over you. Of course, every new job has a learning curve! You’re allowed to take some time to pick up a new skill, even if that involves making a few mistakes along the way. Thinking that you can’t do something because someone else can do it better is of course totally false!

Your core fears are always hiding just below the surface so make sure you do the work of taking a good long look!

Why You're Not Getting Results With The Law of Attraction




In the end, when it comes to overcoming your manifesting “problems” the answer is always to hold the intention and have patience. You have to hold faith, even when it looks dire. You have to hold faith, even when your deadline has come and gone. You have to hold faith, even when shiny objects come up that are close but not quite what you want. You have to hold faith because you will be tested.

So how well are you passing your test?

Reminder: THIS ISN'T YOUR FOREVER PLACEMeaning: Reminder: THIS ISN'T YOUR FOREVER PLACEMeaning: whether good OR bad, this moment is only temporary.And even when the sh*t is hitting the fan, there's so MORE to your story than what's on the surface.Let me get personal for a moment.I've been pretty open here about my dark night of the soul story.(Basically, going from being married, living in a beautiful loft apartment, having a successful business with my partner to getting dumped, business dissolving & living in my parents basement. Overnight!)Way back then I was FIRMLY stuck on what was happening to me.The worst part was really the fact that I was telling myself I would never be happy again. I lost & game over.Looking back now, I can see how it was THAT particular story of mine that was the most painful and damaging.Feeling hopeless fed my depression and really made me feel like there wouldn't even be a point in TRYING to do anything great ever again.But I'm happy to say I was SO wrong about that!Back then I firmly FELT like I was in my forever place--even though it WASN'T.Bit by bit, I healed myself. I got stronger. I started listening to my soul desires and got busy with manifesting them all into reality.NOW I know that the lessons I learned back then have been my most valuable.They led me to TRUST myself and in the journey, even through fear, self-doubt and not always knowing WHERE I was going next.Without that moment, I'm sure I would NOT be here: with a book and business I'm so proud of, living out my dreams in Europe.So today I just want to REMIND you: there's more to your story only always.I know 2020 was tough for so many of us (Corona, BLM & more)And maybe you needed to read this today.So please know: you might not be able to see how it's all coming together right now.But trust that one day down the road, you'll look back and see:That THIS exact, with all the suffering and hardship WASN'T all in vain.It actually all came together to make me who I was ALWAYS meant to be.

Oh hey there friend! 💗There are lots of new f Oh hey there friend! 💗There are lots of new faces here & it's been a little while since I last introduced myself.So hello! My name is Jenn & I'm on a mission to connect you to your MAGIC.I teach you how to create the life you want by using your MIND.You might have heard that you can use the Law of Attraction to attract what you want through your emotional states.Which IS true.But most of us don't realize that our THOUGHTS create our emotional state.Repeated thoughts become beliefs.And those beliefs create our MINDSET.So when you have a low sense worthiness around ANYTHING you happen to want to manifest, you WILL see only lack and limitation.You WILL buy into the old programming that tells you you could never do/be/have that.You WILL secretly self-sabotage and get in the way of the very things you want so much.I used to feel lost and down on myself. And I used to HATE what my life was like.But something inside of me was pointing me in the direction of learning more about spirituality and personal development.The more I learned about manifestation + the brain, the moer the pieces began to click together.And the faster my life began to RAPIDLY change!(Check out my story on how I manifested my book deal for example.)I'm telling you this because I KNOW you can create so many of those dreams of yours, if you JUST learn how to get out of your own way.And that's what I'm on a mission to do, every single day.Want to work with me? You can get started with manifestation with my Manifestation Journaling Workshop.Or if you're ready to go deeper in a private setting, drop me a DM to learn more about my hypno-coaching program!AND PS - I'm also about to launch my Recode membership site (which I'm SOOO excited about). So stay tuned for that!But I'm SO DAMN EXCITED to have you here for this journey! And I thank you so much for being part of my little manifestation community. Now--let's TRANSFORM!
Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming? Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming?Emoji me below if you're part of Team Manifestation! 👇👇
What do YOU need to believe to create your next le What do YOU need to believe to create your next level-reality?Remember: your old beliefs created the life you're living now.But instead of getting upset about that, it's SO much more useful to think on where we want to go next.So what do YOU want to create?And what do YOU need to believe in order to get there?This is the CREATION part of being a Conscious Creator: meaning that YOU get to decide on what your life looks like. But you also have to do the work to CREATE it, starting from the inside out.So get excited about what YOU are going to start believing in next! &  happy weekend to you #teammanifestation !
