The #1 Rookie Manifesting Mistake I Made (So You Don’t Make it Too!)

A few years back, I was living in the SF Bay Area and dancing professionally with a group in the Mission District.

One particularly grueling, sweat-filled rehearsal, we got a 20 minute lunch break and  yours truly in her infinite wisdom, totally spaced on bringing snacks or a lunch.

My options and time were limited.

But across the street was McD’s.

Now, I truly would rather gone anywhere else, but with 16 minutes and counting left until I had to summon some massive cosmic energy to dance for another few hours, I decided to take my chances.

I apologized in advance to my body.

“Hello, Welcome to McDonalds. Can me help you?” a friendly lady with a heavy accent asked me.

“Um, yea, I’ll have the McChicken, but please…just put lettuce and tomato. None of that sauce stuff.”

She looked at me kinda weird, like I said something in Sanskrit to her, but she nodded, tapped her buttons, I paid and she told me to move aside and wait for my number.

Time left to eat: 7 minutes.

Oh. My. Goddess my tummy was rumbling. I could taste the rubbery chicken in my mouth and all I could think of was grabbing it, scarfing it down and sprinting back to the studio.

“Number 7!”

Yay!

I grabbed it and just ran to the studio, figuring I could have 1 minute of peaceful eating on the floor.

I ran up the stairs, picked a corner and tore open the yellow wrapping like a starved dog.

And I took a bite. Bliss was coming.

But something tasted funny.

It seemed a little light.

I opened the sandwich and what was there?

Lots of lettuce. And. Tomato. Only.

Wrapped in bread.

The chicken was M.I.A.

The Lesson: PeekPhotographyDorall-0949

I wanted to cry and yell at that lady so bad, but it taught me an important lesson on manifesting.

Here it is.

Watch your words. You have to be specific.

I asked for lettuce and tomato only and well…that’s exactly what I got.

I could have blamed it on the lady’s limited English or I could take full responsibility as a powerful manifesting Goddess and next time, just clarify.

I chose the latter after that day.

5 self-love mantras

How was your holiday?

I’ve been spending it with my dad in Houston, Texas watching re-runs on Netflix (he just recently discovered its amazingness) and connecting.

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve found that this week after Xmas in the States has me in this in-between space of releasing and purging….and taking inspired action towards what I’m creating next year.

It’s like one minute I want to create and the next, I simply want to retreat.

This push-pull energy used to frustrate and confuse me until I was able to truly tap into the greater message as we close out the year.

Your 2015 gift + a simple request (chance to win a FREE oracle card deck!):

The message came to me in the form of 5 self-love mantras that I’d love to offer you this week (see below).

Mantras to help you move through releasing whatever it is that is leaving your life…and mantras to help you find the strength and the courage to take the next right actions that present themselves to you to move forward. Use them by saying them aloud, writing them down daily in your journal and most of all, infusing them with your emotion and intent. That’s when the magic can happen!

1) Mantras;

“I am willing to let go what wants to go…and let in what is meant to come in.”

“I am exactly where I need to be and all is well in my world.”

“I consciously forgive myself and anyone who is pulling on my energy. I choose to be free.”

“I accept love in whatever form it presents itself and let love pour out in massive quantities! I AM love!”

“I am enough. I am enough. I AM enough.”

Live Like a Goddess

do you have energy leaks? how to know + what to do to increase your happiness ASAP

Want more happiness?

Want that hot guy or gal to notice you?

Want to put something out into the world but feel held back?

A great place to start: Plug Up Your Energy Leaks!

Energy leaks are quite simply places in your life that hold stuck energy…maybe because you haven’t acted on something you know you need to act on, or it could be a statement where you told yourself one thing you’d do one thing but did another (or didn’t do anything at all!). Also, quite literally, it can be something as simple as having a leaky faucet (that is symbolic of opportunities escaping your life!)

The cost of energy leaks:

When we don’t plug up our energy leaks, you have less energy, you may have trouble sleeping and being mentally alert for the important things in your life. You may feel uninspired to finish a project that means a lot to you and from an energetic perspective, you limit the amount of love, opportunities  and financial prosperity that wants to come your way!

The good news is that once you identify where you may be leaking energy, you can take the steps to plug them up!

Some common and not so common examples of energy leaks my clients have shared with me and some easy fixes:

  • Not paying a bill or invoice on time (pay in full or create a payment plan to take care of it)
  • Keeping a sweater that you got as a gift that you never liked, but you feel guilty to give away (have a release ritual around it and give it away girlfriend!)
  • Texting an ex when you’re lonely and giving them hope that there is a chance of reconciliation when there isn’t. (Um, just say no. Delete their number.)
  • For entrepreneurs: Holding onto business partnerships or clients that are less than ideal (Have “the talk” or send that email…your cash flow will likely increase as you attract ideal people!)
  • Keeping old pens that don’t work (Throw them out!)
  • Broken clocks or watches that don’t work (really, broken anything-fix it or toss it!)
  • Telling a friend you would send them a resource and forgetting to (that’s an easy fix-send it already! you’ll feel so much better!)
  • Making an appointment with a friend/doctor/coach/family member and failing to show up or reschedule (Apologize and reschedule if you can!)

Do any of the above ring a bell?

What about the little energy leaks you tell yourself?

They are just as detrimental to your capacity to receive what you’re asking for. Some I hear:

  • Saying you’re working out today and when your i-phone reminder goes off, you blow it off and watch netflix because you “deserve a break.” (I’m guilty!)
  • Telling yourself you’re going to ask a friend for the money she owes you but when the moment comes, you don’t say anything because you don’t want to be “mean.”
  • Saying yes to going to an event that you know you’re never going to go to (but you don’t want to be seen as “not a team player”)

All this stuff costs us valuable energy.

But it’s all within your control, even though it may bring up some temporary anxiety, fear or insecurity.

Q: So…for this week’s challenge, I want you to tell me in the comments: What is one energy leak you’ve identified in your life?

What step are you going to take to plug it up?

Be brave Goddess!

This is your time to show yourself and the Universe that you’re serious about changing your life, one step at a time!
