Extraordinary Woman Dilemma:
You want something to happen in your business, so you're visualizing it happening. You're seeing it happen, feeling the feelings of it happening and keeping your thoughts ever-positive. Except it's not happening. And you start to have doubting thoughts, but then you feel bad because those doubting thoughts are negative and now you're sending out the wrong message to the Big Universe. Stressful!What There Is For You To Know:
You can be exactly who you are in the moment and still get what you need. You can be feeling positive, hopeless or anywhere in between. If positive isn't coming easily for you, just know that you haven't failed. Instead, you are on the threshold of something even easier.Positive Visualization Is Work:
You see, positive visualization is a fine tool, but as a go-getting woman with a work-hard habit, it's good to recognize that positive visualization is yet another form of work. It's on you to have the right thoughts and to stay in a perfect place of belief. That's work. And work ain't a bad thing, but all work all the time makes girlfriend a sad chiquita. When it feels like work to try to feel positive in the moment, it's time for something different: ask for what you need.Try It On The Fly:
Say you need a certain amount of income by the end of the month, and you've been positive visualizing it a bunch. But you're starting to feel a little freaked out- those bill dates are fast approaching. In the spirit of less-effort-more-ease, let go of working at being positive and instead feel what's true right now- your deep need for this income. Reeaaalllly feel it. You may feel scared or desperate along with it, and that's okay- the more real, the better.Now, ask for what you need. You can ask to feel comforted in this place of being scared. And you can ask for the income to come through whatever channels it can best come.
