3 WAYS YOU MAY BE BLOCKING YOURSELF FROM RECEIVING

I have spoken to quite a few women about how they're trying ALL THE THINGS, yet nothing quite seems to be working. When we dive a little deeper, I see that they're pushing, pushing, pushing without leaving any room for flow. Here are a few ways you may be blocking yourself from receiving clients, attention, income, ideas etc etc:

1. WORKING NON-STOP - we got into FREEDOM-BASED businesses for a reason, right? We want FREEDOM. Even if you're working full time while trying to start your biz, set time in your schedule to do things away from the computer. Go for a walk. Go to a concert. Go get a damn ice cream cone. Leave room for things to come to you instead of pushing things away.

2. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE "HOW" - You have no idea what the future holds, so why try to control it? When you try to control every single thing, you're not letting the Big U give you what you want and need. Set intentions, create a game plan, and then let things COME to you. Don't get irked when it doesn't look exactly how you thought it would.

3. BEING DESPERATE - The energy of desperation is a huge turnoff...in dating AND in business. Whether you think it does or not, your energy comes out in everything you do. That shit can be felt. Usually being desperate stems from trying to figure out the "how", so ease up on that, trust that the Big U has your back, and get in touch with your intuition to strengthen that trust.

Take a look at the things above, and see if you've been doing any of them. If you've noticed that things don't seem to be flowing lately, this could be why. Take a break, trust the process, set intentions, and stop trying to control every single detail. It'll take practice, but you got this.

THE GRATITUDE GAME THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

THE GRATITUDE GAME THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

I went home to visit my family and friends a few months ago, and I was shocked to find out how much complaining they did. This isn’t news to me, don’t get me wrong. In fact, I used to join them wholeheartedly in talking about all the “shit that sucks”. However, things changed a year and a half ago when I moved across the country with my girlfriend, Andrea.
 

I’ll paint you a little picture of her:

Andrea is one of those naturally happy and optimistic people who says things like, “but babe, money is easy to make!”, and MEANS it (I know, where the fuck did she come from? I had to work on that shit). She always sees the glass half full and gives people the benefit of the doubt. She always stays playful and energetic. She NEVER (and I mean NEVER) complains about anything. It’s like living with Abraham Hicks or something. And she’s the opposite of woo-woo.

We’ve been dating for three years and living together for 1.5, so she’s kind of rubbed off on me.

Anyways, I went home to visit my friends and family for a month, and I was SUCKED into a black hole of negativity and fear. You know how it is: someone starts complaining about something, and your energy is immediately downshifted to UGH. It sucks.

I knew I had to do something to stay positive, but it felt so difficult. So I made up a little game:

The Gratitude Game: EVERY single time you hear a negative comment or complaint, you say (in your head - otherwise it’s weird) something that you are incredibly grateful for or excited about.

Example:
Friend: I hate my job, everything sucks, and I make NO money
You: (I am so grateful that I know what my passion is)

Simple, right?
Also INCREDIBLY PROFOUND.

I started realizing I was grateful for things I didn’t even KNOW I was grateful for. It became more and more of a game as time went on, and I was having an INCREDIBLE time doing it.

The benefits?

• I manifested working with my dream coach (with someone else offering to help pay for it without me asking)

• I got more traction in my business than EVER before

• I had a conversation with my father that I’ve been waiting to have for over a decade

• I found my true voice

• My relationship hit a completely new level of appreciation and connection (this includes better sex life)

• Life became more fun

• I became more alive

It’s a simple practice that takes NO time, becomes MORE fun the more you do it, and can ENHANCE your life ten-fold.

I still continue this game today, and I couldn’t NOT share it with you.
Try it out.

Give it a shot.
See what happens.
 

Let me know if you have any gratitude practices that have changed your life

Much love,

Alex
