Got Rituals?
by Jeannette Maw

When starting with a new client, one of the first things I ask is what manifesting rituals they currently use.  For example, some folks visualize their day ahead before they open their eyes, others listen to recorded affirmations on the way to work, others don't have any habits in place at all.
 
Or so they think.
 
The fact is we all have manifesting rituals in place already.  We may not be aware of them, and they may not be bringing what we want, but I guarantee each of us has manifesting habits in place already.  Whether they serve us or not is another question!
 
Here are a few examples of the manifesting habits and rituals we unconsciously engage: 

• each time you write a check or slide the debit card, you run a mental tally of your declining bank balance
• when a date or a friend suggests an outing together, you are quick to offer them an easy out in case they change their mind or are only asking to be "nice"
• every time you sit down to relax, you think of something you should be doing
• when a big event or responsibility rolls around at work, you imagine all the ways it could go wrong
• each time something goes right in your life, you credit someone or something else for it
• at the end of every day you count up the things you shouldn't have eaten
• you regularly spend lunch hours gossiping with coworkers

These examples might not sound like insidious manifesting habits, but they each have a way of either negating our manifesting power or employing it in the service of what we DON'T want. 
 
Focusing on declining money, weighing yourself down with "should" thoughts, mentally anticipating ruin or disaster, not giving yourself credit for the amazing person you are - there are lots of ways we hold ourselves out of the sweet spot of easy, successful deliberate creation.
 
The good news?
 
It's easy to become aware of your unconscious rituals and start to change them.  All it takes is a willingness and intention to be aware, notice without judgment what you see, and then commit to a plan to change the habit.
 
(That's where a coach often comes in handy!)
 
The bottom line is that until we're willing to truly see how we're using our mind power, we continue to sabotage ourselves, all the while wondering why things don't go our way.
 
If you're reading this article, you're a powerful creator of much, much more possibility than you even realize.  My intention is that you wake up to that power and start using it for your good!
