Don't sabotage

One of the biggest challenges deliberate creators face is
the fear of letting go. More often than not, this fear
stems from a strong doubt that the universe is listening;
or even distrust that the universe wants to deliver your
desires.

Beneath the doubt and distrust are usually some limiting
beliefs that keep us locked into a state of limbo, wanting
something better but not quite believing it will happen.

Below are two common limiting beliefs, along with helpful
tips about what to do if you believe you may have them too.

The first belief is: "I'm not deserving of this great thing."

Even if you know intellectually that you deserve your
desires, you may have a deep emotional belief that holds it
back. This belief may have been formed when you were a child
and your parent scolded you for being "greedy" or "selfish"
when you asked for something you wanted; or it may be the
result of caring for other people and consistently putting
yourself last.

Regardless of how the belief may have been formed, clearing
it is as easy as consistently reinforcing your own
worthiness every day. Make a list of reasons why you think
you do deserve to have what you want.

Self-talk yourself into a positive state of self-worth by
saying things like, "There's not a single reason why I
shouldn't have this thing. I'm a good person, I do a lot
for others, and I'm willing to do something nice for
myself too."

Keep doing this daily and within a very short period of
time you should notice that you are starting to feel much
better about yourself and truly believe in your worthiness.

The second belief is: "If I let go and trust, it won't happen."

This belief is often the result of a perception of the
universe (or God) as being cold, judgmental, and distant.
When we obsess over an intention, what we're really doing
is trying to make it happen on our own, rather than trusting
that the universe will take care of it for us.

Deep down inside, we really don't believe that the universe
is loving and benevolent. So, on an energetic level, we
shove the universe aside and say, "I know you won't do this
for me, so I'll do it myself; move out of my way."

Needless to say, the universe simply conforms to our belief
- which creates a lot more stress and work for us, and
very little progress on our manifestations.

To overcome this belief, start building up your trust in the
universe each day. Ask for help with plenty of small things,
and ask in an affirmative way. Say, "Universe, I need to
get to work on time, and I know you will make it so traffic
is light and moving smoothly this morning."

Then expect it to happen. Over time, you will begin
noticing how often you seem to have "unseen helpers" jumping
to answer your requests - and your belief will begin to grow
and have an effect on your bigger manifestations too.
