When it comes to creating the life of our dreams, there are 3 simple mistakes that most of us are making. Yet these can completely scupper our plans, making it nigh on impossible for what we dream of to arrive.
In fact, when it comes to manifesting, our job is simple. Just do the opposite of what most of us are doing!
Here are the 3 simple mistakes and what you can do instead.
- Hanging on to what you’ve got
It’s a basic fact of manifesting – Law Of Attraction – that the Universe needs a vacuum to fill. If you’ve already got too much stuff, it’s tough for more to enter your life. Similarly, if you’re so scared that you’ll run out, you can end up hoarding. Then you’re sending out the message of fear of lack and so you’ll be getting lack. It becomes a vicious circle.What can you do instead?
Keep the energy flowing.
Blocked or stagnant energy can completely prevent you from attracting new abundance into your life.Every time you get a chance, have a clear-out. Go through your closet and be ruthless, giving away EVERYTHING that you don’t wear any more or that doesn’t make you look great.
Declutter your home. If you don’t seriously love having something around – no matter who gave it to you or how much it cost – give it to someone else who will love it. Otherwise you’re sending out the message big time that you’re happy to settle for being surrounded by stuff you don’t like. And guess what that will bring you more of…
Get spending. Let your money flow. Have you been getting freaked out about money? Desperate to build up your savings, to the extent of putting off, say, essential repairs or doing jobs yourself that you’re not enjoying? Then you’re not only telling the Universe that you’re scared you won’t have enough money, but you’re also telling it you’re cutting back, so you need less. No one is saying you should be reckless, but it’s essential to be honest with yourself and see whether the emotion behind saving and holding onto stuff is fear-based.
By creating the space, you’ll automatically attract more of what you really want.

- Trying To Stay In Control
Trying to control how things come into your life – how your dreams become reality – is a great way to miss all of the open doors and really slow things down. If we’re too busy expecting things to be done our way, then we won’t spot the signs and will completely miss the sychronicities and signposts that the Universe has ligned up for us. It’s like programming your satellite navigation system but then ignoring every direction it’s giving you.What can you do instead?
Get out of the way!
Instead of making your job to ‘project manage’ how your dreams are manifested, make it your job to spot the signs along the route. Not only is this less stressful, it’s also faster and what comes your way will be bigger and better. You’re no longer restricting the Universe by insisting on ideas that your conscious mind has thought of.
. - Not being clear about what you want
So often we don’t get what we wanted because we didn’t hold a crystal clear vision of what it was we were asking for. It’s like a kid asking for a bike at Christmas and then being disappointed because it was a tricycle instead of a motorbike.What can you do instead?
Be explicit about what you want. Choose it consciously, not by accident. And be aware of how you will feel when you get it – and feel that way now. It isn’t about saying your dream home has to have a pink front door and roses growing up the fence – though it might have these. Manifesting is about getting the essence of your desire. That’s why it’s so important to know what has motivated you to want something and experience what it will feel like, once you’ve got it.Otherwise you’re just being vague – and you’ll get pot luck results.
Imagine you were going on holiday. You would make sure you knew where your destination was. If you were driving on the motorway, you would watch out for every sign that mentioned your destination, and follow those signs. And, even if you took the long way round, you would still get to where you wanted to go. You wouldn’t just set out, not sure where you were heading, and get distracted by every potentially interesting sign, asking yourself whether it might be taking you in the right direction : “Maybe that’ll take me where I want to go. I wonder where that might be?”
Clarity and focus are essential for manifesting.
The 3 Golden Rules Of Manifesting
- Let things flow – give up hoarding
- Let the Universe show you the way
- Be clear about what you want and stay focussed on that – and that alone.
