One of the biggest reasons people don’t manifest what they want is that they believe they don’t deserve it.  Yes, yes – I know that they say they deserve it.  In fact they may be shouting to the world that they deserve it.  But if they’re still not getting it then I guarantee somewhere deep inside of them is a little voice saying “I don’t deserve this.”

Yikes!  Now that won’t do will it?  How do we get that little voice on board with the rest of us so that we can get the things we want and deserve?

Well, in my own case I know that voice is there.  So what I do is have a little talk with it from time to time to make sure it’s on the same page with the rest of me.

There is an effective (and not so effective) way of doing this.  It’s not a good idea for example to start off telling your inner-self that you’re deserving.  Heck if it thought you were deserving you wouldn’t need to have the conversation, right?  So it’s probably not going to believe you.

Instead, I give my inner-self new possibilities that are believable, leading it step by step into a more deserving state.  Need some examples of what to say?  Here are some of the phrases I use:

• You don’t deserve it now but you will soon (this feels less threatening and actually gets your inner-self excited about what’s coming)
• You have permission (our inner-selves are like children in many ways and they need permission to change course)
• You can try it for a little while and then decide if you want it to be a permanent part of your life (a temporary decision is a lot less threatening than a permanent one and once your inner-self is on board it will be so happy with the outcome it won’t want to go back)
• You can always change your mind (giving a choice so its not so threatening)
• Lets try this little experiment or play this little game (your inner-self is child like and loves to playing games)
• It is safe to allow this in (your inner-self will shut down if it feels threatened so if you help it feel safe it will get on board with you)

There are more but these should get you started.  Also, I’ve written a FREE report called Barriers & Roadblocks to Manifesting Success which has more information about the things that keep us from becoming successful manifesters.  It’s available on the Free Stuff page of the website.
