It is also at this time that I'm tired. It has been go go go most of the school year and not only is my daughter a teen in high school, but my husband is a busy science and math teacher.
When May comes and June follows, I don't just pull away from people and things I also pull away from thoughts and desires. At first I felt a little uneasy with the idea of "forgetting" what I was working hard toward manifesting. But in time, I have found that old sayings aren't only true but they apply to a lot of things in our lives.
A watched pot won't boil. Watching the clock makes the day longer. These sayings can play a part in our manifesting as well. If we focus too hard on what we are desiring it could mean that if feels like it will never happen! Our attention is focused too much on the "idea".
If you feel like you've been in a manifesting workout and your brain is cloudy, here are some tips you can use to ease your frustrations and continue to guide you through manifesting your desires.
1. Take a break, but be in a good vibration.
Believe it or not, even though I wasn't focused on my desires manifesting, I believe that because of a combination of good vibrations and initial loving communication to the universe about my desires had been made, that being able to let go and let the universe do it's job still got me to where I wanted to be.
2. Realize that manifestations sometimes happen in steps according to where your life is today.
I haven't met one person who didn't ask the universe for help with finances, be it to decrease debt or increase income. If you are that person, so nice to meet you! We shouldn't expect that our requests will be fulfilled immediately nor in the exact amount that we are hoping for in one day, though I know of some unique cases this has happened - it isn't impossible. It is important to recognize small positive increases (or decreases) and to ensure that we keep those vibrations good and healthy during those times. The best way to keep it flowing? Gratitude. If you haven't practiced this in a while, get back to it soon and your life will be the better for it. Note: Sometimes when we ask for decrease of debt or increase of income, they come from places we never thought of before and not necessarily a relative leaving us money, a raise in our pay, or a new law that automatically lowers our debt. Sometimes the small act of someone making us dinner so we can save $10 is part of that process. Gratitude will help it grow exponentially.
3. Actions speak louder than words.
If actions are yelling and boasting to the universe what we are desiring and our thoughts manifest our desires (good and bad), then combining the two should create a Tsunami of help. If you are trying to find the love of your life or your dream house, thinking about it and vision boarding it are wonderful ways to begin your search. But make sure you are active in your quest. Good vibrations add more energy to your requests. If you are looking for your soulmate, then feel how you want to feel when you are with your soulmate and do the things that will make you feel that way. An example of this is to take yourself on romantic picnics in places that you would go to with your soulmate. It isn't cheesy, it's wonderful. I love going to the local University gardens for a picnic and when I'm there I feel alive. That feeling resonates and vibrates with me and around me and lifts the spirits of everything around me. Asking for a house and then not doing anything to get the house can be defeating. Are you researching loans and empowering yourself through education? Don't ever assume anything, like you aren't good enough. My husband and I were turned down twice by two different institutions after having short-saled our home. But because I wouldn't give up and I believed that we were worthy of a home and each no wasn't a door closed in our face but the opportunity to find another one to open. Because of this, I wasn't afraid to ask our Credit Union. They were happy to say yes. And it has been nothing short of pleasant since. Alternatively, if you've got the loan approved but no home lined up yet. Start packing! Downsize! Clear your clutter! Do everything to get ready for a move, even if it isn't going to happen just yet.
