5 Signs You Are Trying Too Hard With Your LOA Practice

1. You are doing all the right things aren't getting better. In fact, it seems like things might be worse.

I'm going to lump us all in here together because I'm pretty sure we've all been there.

Visualizing - check
Affirmations - check
Acting as if - check
Getting fucking happy - check

And nothing. It's like crickets up in your manifesting world. Or worse yet, it's not crickets because that noise you're hearing is the next shoe dropping.

This is what I might refer to as vortex constipation syndrome. It's all in there. You've done your "work". However, nothing can come through because you're straining too hard.

Let it go. Walk away from it. Preferably focus on something that makes you laugh or smile. Focus on another problem if you have to.

Taking your foot off the gas and just letting it coast for a bit will feel better and it might just let things fall into place without your constant jacked up attention on what's not there yet.

The forces of the Universe can manage whatever it is better than you can. So, relax yourself and pour a cup of tea - and just keep repeating the tea or whatever it is you need to do to settle into your zen instead of beating your deliberate creation practice with a stick.

2. You'd rather do the dishes, scrub the toilet, or clean the black crusty ick out of your pug's face wrinkles than do your deliberate creation practice.

When your deliberate creation practice starts to feel like work that's when you know you're doing it wrong or you're doing the wrong practice. Yes, it's important. Yes, consistency is key. However, the energy of efforting isn't going to get you anywhere you want to be.

I'm a girl who can strong arm a deliberate creation practice with dogged determination - and enjoy it. However, when I'm finding excuses to do anything but, I know I either need to replace a practice with something that actually elevates my vibration or give it a damn rest.

How do you know your LOA practice is working?
It makes you feel better.

If not, you may as well be watching re-runs of Friends, because at least that might make you happy for half an hour.


3. You don't laugh. You don't joke around. You've basically gone so serious you bore yourself.

You are like a ninja level Manifestor. You've got all the best gear. You've got the best coach, the best mediation audios, you schedule your daily practices and do them like a boss.

However, you can't remember the last time you had a hard laugh or cry with your BFF or the last time you had rocking mind-blowing sex. When you look in the mirror you see a face that's all business and is wrinkling with determination, but you're noticing your laugh lines are starting to fade.

Unless you want to manifest a future reality that's all business and no play, you're working it too hard. The Universe likes lightness and joy. That energy moves mountains and makes miracles. If you're stuck in a rut that's too serious, all of your manifesting and everything else is going to feel like hard work.


4. You're routinely asking the Universe, "WTF???"

If you're pissed off at yourself, the U, or railing at God, you're definitely trying too hard.

That energy is like super-glue that keeps you stuck to whatever you do not want to be attached to. Anger and frustration fuel a shit storm.

Repeat after me:
"I can be peaceful where I am."
"I can be peaceful where I am."
"I can be peaceful where I am."
"I can be peaceful where I am."

And when you're done repeating that, take a deep breath or five and actually get peaceful.

All feelings are sacred and if you're angry, that is super-sacred energy. So, feel it. Honor it. Scream if you want to. But do not get stuck there. Throw your temper tantrum. We've all been there - then get on with your zen-self and pour yourself that cup of tea.


5. You've quit noticing how awesome things are right now.

Seriously, your life is ok. It's probably better than ok.
If you aren't noticing the sunset or smelling the roses, you need to take a break and look around. Life is amazing and you're center stage for the greatest show in the Universe. Welcome to your day, Sunshine! You're lucky to be here.

If you're not delighted by the sheer mystery and majesty of being alive, you're not in the vibrational range of miracles. There are too many things to celebrate to effort too much with your deliberate creation practice or anything else. If you're "trying" really hard, it might be time to find a reason to party and just sit back and watch the fireworks unfold. It's always an awesome show.
