LOA Recon with the Good Vibe Coach

When we call in something new and better, we have to be willing to make room for that change. Life continually wants to get better for us, and in order for that to happen we have to let go of what was in order to allow for what's coming. This is a reminder to welcome change when it's upon you ...

A short but sweet reminder about how our focus changes who shows up for us ... which is why the guy I'm dating is different for me than he was for anyone else. Here's to seeing the best in everyone around us!

Some of us act like our problems are powerful things we have to grapple with, when the truth is they can't exist without us. Problems literally rely on us for their very existence. When we stop feeding them, they stop existing. This is the conscious creator remedy to problems you'd like to disappear ...

Next time you're frustrated or discouraged because you can't see how things are going to work out for you, remember you're not supposed to see "how." Your job is to see "what" you want, not how to get there.

When it seems like all the news is bad, all the things are breaking, and nothing will ever be good again … When no one's nice, and the wrongs can't be righted, and you can't even have a good cry because the tears are all used up … That's a good time to give yourself solace. Grant yourself the gift of relief.

Even when you think it can't get any better, that's exactly what life does when you flow appreciation, because that's what momentum does. Whatever you activate grows! That was this week's reminder out on a new trail with Harvey ...

After a love interest stopped giving me what I wanted, and I eventually stopped needing him to deliver, it came together beautifully. This alignment was somewhat accidental, but you can learn from my experience and do this on purpose next time something isn't coming together for you ...

What happens when you love someone so much you can't stop talking about how much you love them? That stuff rubs off. :)

When it's time to make a big decision, I don't have to evaluate the options. I don't have to perform due diligence. I don't have to ask the experts. I don't have to know all the angles or consult the oracle. All I have to do is listen to what feels better. That's how inner guidance points the way forward. I love remembering that I never need to decide anything. The way is always clear when I listen within to the part of me that knows.

If you think money can't come to you because you don't have a job or any other way it can flow in, you're right. And if you think money comes to you in all sorts of delightful ways even when you don't have a job, you're right. This is the story of a guy who doubled his income with an "attitude of gratitude."

You can speak up, or not. You can protest, or not. You can be peaceful about it, or not. You can focus on what feels better, or not. No one knows what you should be doing right now except for your inner guidance. Trust that above all else.

When you want to lose the weight, or get rid of the debt, or heal from this illness or stop feeling lonely ... It's good to remember that we can't get rid of what we don't want. Whatever we focus on grows. So when you want to get rid of something, it works way way better when we engage these two things.

What do you consistently do every day without fail? Most of us have something we're super regular about: our daily coffee, checking email, taking supplements or meds. Of all the things on our daily to-do list, an alignment practice is the one we'll get the most leverage from!

How much contrast do you engage before remembering you can call a halt at any time? I was 17 hours in on a mildly miserable experience before realizing it was time to change my mind. Here's to remembering sooner rather than later that we are in charge of how much contrast we put up with ...

All this talk about global recession sounds like a good time for us to remember that we each create our own financial reality. These are the three thoughts I use to stay aligned to financial abundance when others choose differently ...

This isn't our first rodeo. Conscious creators know how to play with contrast. We know how to stay out of resistance. We know how to say yes to what is and to look forward to what comes next. Here are three questions to help us make the most of our time with coronavirus ...

This is our time to shine, fellow creators! We of all people know how to manage our vibe when reality isn't giving easy reasons to feel good. We've likely not encountered a more powerful vehicle for ushering in "even better" in our time. Let's not squander this contrast. We know how it works. Time to use your magic!

Sometimes conscious creators expect the reality to change before our thoughts and feelings do. That's not how it works! If you're using law of attraction to manifest a job change, or a new romance, or weight loss, or more money (or anything at all) so that you can feel better, you'll want to rethink your approach. We can only get what we already feel, so if you're counting on external life changes in order to feel better, you're stuck in limbo.

It seems obvious that we'd know how to say yes to what we want when it shows up, but sometimes it's more challenging than you'd guess … Having what you want takes alignment, and sometimes that takes practice!

If you've ever adopted unhelpful beliefs because of something you read about a study that was conducted or research that was published, let's remember this about things proven to be "true" ... Anything can be proven true when someone puts enough attention on it. That's where reality comes from. So don't take those results too seriously unless they help support the reality you prefer.

It wasn't pretty and I'm not particularly proud of it, but this is the story of what happened when I stopped resisting the low feelings. If you haven't kept your angry skills up to date, this may inspire you to embrace them with more gusto next time the bounce back isn't bouncing.

Current events got you down? You're not alone. Here's a thought that might offer solace in dark times ...

Sometimes it seems impossible to ignore the reality right in front of us. But many of us have more skills than we admit when it comes to pretending ... Ignoring what's so is a manifesting skill we use in lots of other everyday ways that we can bring to bear in our LOA game, too.

This is the story of the day a muggle love interest had to LOA coach me into dropping thoughts that blocked possibilities for a love relationship. Even I, who knows that anything is possible, lost sight of that in the face of a contrary reality ...

It's a new year and it seems like everyone's got an inspiring message telling us to get out there and carpe diem. They want us to hustle and slay and get busy on those goals, because dreams don't come true while we sit on the couch. Oh, contraire. This is my response to the reader who "knows" he needs to hit the gym in order to hit his fitness goals ...

No LOA lessons or manifesting insights here ... Just a simple activation of joy, appreciation and love as I tell the story of one of my favorite things: Harvey. This is what vibration management is all about: reveling in reasons and excuses to feel good!

A fellow creator said she's tired of feeling angry with her kids' behavior and asked how to use law of attraction to make them behave. This is my take on how to break the cycle and lead the way to positive change. (Hint: it's not about changing their behavior.) I've got my own challenge underway on this same topic, except mine is with cats, not kids.

As I was inspired to upgrade and eliminate some key relationships this new year, I remembered that no matter how much I focus on "out there," nothing can be any different until I'm feeling it "in here."

When I told a friend about how I was excited to start manifesting easy money in the new year, he pointed out the easy money I already had and was overlooking all along. Getting a new perspective on the current situation is often all that's needed to create alignment that allows more of what we want to manifest.

Who's deciding what you're having? When someone else is delivering what you don't want, remember who's in charge here. It's you - always you. Don't abdicate your choosing power to others who seem to have authority. You're the creative expert in the house.

Before proceeding into tricky territory, do yourself a favor and check your vibration before taking action … A couple seconds to make sure you're not rolling with contrary energy makes all the difference as to what happens next. It works much better when we pause to clear out any challenging energy before proceeding …

This is what I learned after picking the brain of a muggle friend who was a regular winner at the rodeo for many years. His answers could have come straight from the LOA playbook. Tune in for tips about how to amp up your own next win ...

For those who are new to conscious creation, here's a quick summary of how to engage your manifesting power. LOA-savvy pros already know this stuff, but it's a good reminder for those who sometimes make it more complicated than it needs to be. The quick summary of how to manifest what you want using your powers of focus: See it. Feel it. Let guidance reveal it. Tune in for a review of these three elements ... Read at the blog.

My cautionary tale of what to expect when you strongly don't want something to happen ... No matter how many actions you take to prevent it, a vibration of "don't want this" requires it's coming like a freight train!

We know how to spot unhelpful influences in lots of other ways in our life ... Let's get good at spotting those gremlin thoughts, too!

Next time you're tempted to solve a problem by throwing money at it, let's throw some alignment at it instead. That's the only reliable way to get the results we want!

The art of knowing what to downplay and what to play up ... You do this in regular daily life more often than you realize, and it's worth bringing to your manifesting game more than you already are!

It turns out that aligning to what you want isn't a one-time trick. Maintaining the successful manifestation means maintaining the vibration that got you there in the first place. Sounds obvious, I know, and yet many of us give up the practice that created the win after we've got the win in hand. If you've ever watched a newly manifested success slip through your hands, this reminder is for you (and me) ...

When a recent LOA-skeptical love interest told me he won a national championship by relying on his mental game (rehearsing the performance he wanted), I pointed out he was using that same mental game to wreak havoc in other areas of his life. He rehearsed negative outcomes as powerfully as he rehearsed the positive ones for competition. He put it to the test in his single most challenging topic: the ex-wife. Here's what happened ...

What is a practice project and why should you engage one? This is my short and sweet take on how a practice project can transform your manifesting game. If you'd like to build your confidence as a conscious creator identify what your best manifesting method is or just have fun playing with the power of your focus ... tune in for a quick and dirty tutorial on the power of a practice project.

This is the mantra I've been using to turn around shaky situations on a dime. Maybe it'll work for you, too!

Conscious creators know it works better when we're propelled by inner guidance rather than operating from our logical, rational mind. Taking action to make something happen is not nearly as effective as letting inner guidance show the way (via inspiration) to what we want. That's why it's worth recognizing inspiration when it hits. Here are four clues to tell ...

Our stuff says something about us and our life. As conscious creators, we can leverage that. We can create an environment that reflects the life we want to manifest. What would your space look like if your favorite dream came true?

An illicit dream led to some cool insights about the role of contrast and how it shows up in our lives. Enjoy this personal take on why it's worth thanking the ones who bring trouble to our door ...

Two recent personal examples reminded me just how easy it is to activate a vibration, and how fast Universe answers responds! Whether you want it or not. Use this as your reminder to pay attention to what you're turning on ...

Why is it so hard for us to know what we want? It doesn't seem like a trick question, yet for some it can be tough to answer! When we're speaking hypothetically or dreaming of "someday" that can be easier to answer. But when it's time to pin it down and declare that you're going for it - that can be uncomfortable. This is 7 reasons we don't know what we want and how to resolve it ...

Conscious creators know that whatever we strongly don't want is coming to us fast and furious. Yet that doesn't stop of us from occasionally forgetting that vibration trumps all. Here's what to do when you recognize there's something you've been pushing against ...

A conversation with an old friend revealed how completely differently we see the same situation and reminded me the power of our vibrational habits. What we see, think and feel is what we create. Is your vibrational habit up to date?
