Are you holding on to foundational thoughts of lack? If someone asked me that question a year ago, I would have said, “Of course not! My intentions are positive, and I trust the power of my own manifestation.”
What caught me by surprise over the last year was the discovery that deep within me, I was holding onto ‘lack thinking’. We all know that this can create the opposite of what we desire and deserve!
Let’s play out a few examples:
My thoughts about support:
My intentions were that my life flows easily and effortlessly – that all the support I need is available to me. I believed it. I knew it was true. But one day I caught myself saying to someone – (not a premeditated conscience thought) – “I always have to work hard for everything in my life.”
In an instant, I realized that I have carried around this thought for years! It had become a part of the energetic fabric of me. It had become a foundational thought for me and my life. I quickly went to work to shift that thinking on all levels.
My thoughts about time:
My intentions were that I had a peaceful flow to my life where I was centered and balanced. Then one day, I found myself saying, “I can’t keep up. There is not enough time!” Wow! Where did that come from?
In exploring this, it appears that my ‘not enough’ thinking has become a norm in our society. There is not enough time, not enough money, not enough love, not enough caring, and not enough understanding. We are a ‘not enough’ society, and this mass consciousness creates and recreates our world. The result is a behavior to hurry up and get as much as you can, before someone else takes the little bit that there is. In truth, there is more than enough for everyone.
It occurred to me recently that my local economy is so linked to Real Estate buying and selling. It is a foundational thought of everyone right now that there are not enough buyers. As a community we have ‘lack thinking’ as part of our fabric! I wonder what would happen if we all collectively shifted our own thinking to: “There are many buyers of real estate who have the money and the motivation to purchase in our area.”
Bottom line, the universe reacts to all thoughts. If you are holding on to lack thinking subconsciously, while manifesting with positive intentions, you are sending mixed messages!
I have recently structured an abundance workshop that has two distinct parts: (1) Shifting your lack thinking and (2) manifesting the life you desire. I believe the process of getting rid of the old before bringing in the new is extremely important. Especially, if the old is working contrary to your positive purpose!
No one is immune to ‘lack thinking’. What’s yours? What is so integrated into the fabric of you, that you are not even aware of it?
