If you’ve been practicing manifestation for months, maybe even years, but you still struggle to attract abundance into your life – you’re not alone. Many of us have resistance to attracting abundance, specifically money, due to limiting beliefs, childhood wounds, and various subconscious fears.
The good news is, everyone can attract more money and prosperity into their life, even those of us with an abundance (no pun intended) of limiting beliefs and negative experiences. The trick is to identify your particular manifesting blocks so you can overcome them and then release them for good.
What Are Abundance Blocks?
It’s no secret that most people want abundance in all areas of their life. Why is it then that so many struggle to attract it? Simply put, because just wanting something is not enough to get it; you have to know yourself first.
You may think you want more money, but if you have subconscious blockages like limiting beliefs regarding wealth (due to past negative experiences, family history, etc.), do you really think that just consciously focusing on money will be enough to attract it into your life? The answer is no. For abundance to flow into your life, you first have to remove these subconscious blockages.
This is because manifestation blocks like limiting beliefs, low self-esteem, and doubts act as an invisible fence around you, preventing the things you want from coming to you while keeping you stuck in a cycle of struggle and disappointment.
But don’t worry – everyone, including you, can overcome these issues and unblock the flow of abundance. And the first step in recognizing your unique blocks.
Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are some of the most common blocks to manifestation. And make no mistake, everyone has their own set of limiting beliefs, even the folks who’ve been practicing mindfulness and manifestation for years –theirs are just not as powerful.
While holding some limiting beliefs is perfectly normal and actually healthy (they can protect us from making foolish decisions), it’s important to recognize that when it comes to manifesting, they can also hold us back. Limiting beliefs, such as “money is extremely hard to obtain”, or “one has to be selfish to become rich”, can act as blocks to attracting abundance. Oftentimes, these beliefs are formed in childhood, so they’re deeply ingrained in us, making them difficult to overcome.
If you suspect you have deeply anchored limiting beliefs and are not sure how to address them, consider combining therapy, preferably in person, with daily positive affirmations. For example, if you live in Houston, instead of opting for online therapy, it may be best to find a therapist near Houston, TX, to help you work through your limiting beliefs and complicated feelings about money.
This is because a screen can sometimes make it difficult for therapists to pick up on their clients’ subtle, non-verbal communications. As a result, some therapists may have a harder time grasping their clients’ main emotional issues.
Of course, if, for whatever reason, you cannot or prefer not to travel to an office, online therapy is still a great option, as it, too, can help you address your limiting beliefs.
Fear of Success
Another common manifestation block is the fear of success. You may be thinking No way, I want to be successful! but unfortunately, it’s not as simple as that. Remember those unconscious fears and limited beliefs we talked about? They can play an important role here, too.
While you may truly desire more money, you may not believe you have the courage or ability to deal with the changes that money might bring. You may also secretly worry you may not be able to handle the responsibilities that may come with extra money.
Before you can manifest financial freedom, it’s essential to address these fears and worries and remind yourself that success is nothing to be afraid of. After all, some of the most financially successful people on earth are not particularly brave – they just believe in themselves.
Saying self-esteem affirmations daily, such as “I am worthy of the money I desire” and “I am enough just as I am,” can help you change your self-image for the better and finally attract the wealth you want.
