You nervously put yourself out there…
Taking the plunge, pushing your comfort zone boundaries as you step out onto a limb…
The excitement builds as your new project starts going well…
You’re riding high on a wave of success and then all of a sudden…
Everything starts crashing down around you…
“Why?” you cry!
One minute you’re in feast…the next you’re in famine.
Why is this happening?
This is the energetic response to your comfort zone boundaries being pushed…
Your deep-seated beliefs are being challenged…
They don’t like it and they’re pushing back HARD!
They want to see you retreat back to where they want you…
Safe and sound in your comfort zone…
But your inner fire is ready to create a new level of success…
You’re ready to create a new normal.
How can you turn things around?
Take a step back and take a look from the outside in…
See that this has all been created due to the vibration your fears and resistance have created…
It could be fear of success, fear of failure, fear of change…only you will know what your fear is but it’s important to look it squarely in the eyes and face it head on.
Five steps you can take to turn things around
1. Take responsibility for creating the resistance
When you take responsibility for everything that happens in your life, you take back your power…
Resistance can appear as lack of money flow, a negative reaction from your partner, illness…
It’s basically anything that doesn’t appear to be going right…
2. See things that appear to be going wrong as things that are actually going right
When you take a step up and push your comfort zone boundaries, you’re sending a message to the Universe that you want a different life…
Your wish is its command so it immediately jumps into action and starts rearranging everything to create the life you’re asking for…
Which means it will probably turn your world upside down and on its head…
This is where most people freak out because they see it as a sign that they’re heading in the wrong direction. They quickly retreat back into their comfort zone and get back to doing things the way they always have…
The problem with that is that you’re not going to create a new normal by doing things the way you’ve always done them…
To create a new normal, you have to start doing things differently, which means ‘out with the old, in with the new’ and having faith to hold your space and stay on track…
See things that are going wrong as messages from the Universe to guide you…
3. Let go, surrender to the process and stop worrying!
When you surrender to the process something magical happens…
You start to see things from a different perspective…
You start to see that things aren’t as bad as they appear to be…
Worry will only serve to create more of what you don’t want…
When the overwhelm sets in, stop, take a deep breath and bring your focus back to the moment…
Stop and think….What is the reality of this very moment?
Allow yourself to feel the peace, serenity, safety and support from the Universe from being in that moment and know that everything’s going to be ok…
How can you look at things differently?
Ask yourself, “Why is this happening for me? What do I need to learn?”
When you see things as being worse than they are, you effectively create more of what you don’t want…
But when you stop and focus on the moment, you can see that things really aren’t as bad as you think they are…
My partner and I were driving along one day and he heard a sound coming from my rear, right hand tyre…
There was a piece of metal stuck in it, so I took it to the tyre shop…
They pulled it out and to everyone’s surprise, it was…
A battery clamp! A 6” (15cm) piece of steel that holds a car battery in place…
What?!
It had gone into my tyre and flipped around on an angle, so the damage was minimal…
But instead of getting upset about it, thinking, ‘Why me?’ and creating a downward spiral of more of the same, I knew it was a sign for me to check my energetic levels…
Cars represent direction…
The left side represents your spiritual side, the right side represents the physical side…
A car that’s not moving forward means you’re not moving forward…
My tyre was still intact, but I knew that if I didn’t heal this energy within me straight away, things would get out of hand…
I took a deep breath, allowed myself to be in the moment and felt the support from the Universe…
I expected the tyre repair to go well and I allowed everything to work out fine…
And it did…
This brought my awareness back to the importance of allowing myself to see and feel the abundance in the moment and to not let unrealistic fear lower my vibration…
4. Allow yourself to receive what it is that you want
It’s not uncommon for self-sabotage to sneak in undetected and make an appearance in the form of apparently unfortunate events…
It’s one thing to want something bigger and brighter but it’s another thing to allow yourself to receive it…
Check in with what your beliefs are around having what you want…
Maybe it’s a worthiness issue…
Maybe you’re afraid of what you think you might lose if things change…
Only you will know your answers but being aware of this and taking steps to heal those areas within you will open the door for what you want to come to you.
5. Be honest with yourself
Being honest with yourself as to the areas you need to heal is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself…
Take the pressure off…allow yourself to be an imperfect human and take time out to connect with your soul…
Be honest with yourself about your truth…
Be honest with yourself about your beliefs and fears…
And be honest with yourself about where you need to step up and take the aligned action that will propel you in the direction of the future that you want.
You’ve got this!
When you can take a step back and take action as opposed to simply reacting to the process, you have the power to change your world…
Reaction to the contrast will simply set you back to square one…
Seeing the contrast for what it is and taking aligned action, will set you on the path to success…
It might take some time…
It will certainly take strength…
But keep moving forward, hold on for the ride and know that everything is working out just fine!
