Last week we talked about the importance of EMOTION in manifesting.  Today we’re going to talk about how it fits in specifically with the manifesting process.  If you remember I said that you should ask yourself:

How does this make me feel?

By asking this question you tune into your emotional side and get a much more complete picture of what you’re manifesting than if you just went with logic and reason.

The interesting thing is that once you tune in, you may find that your emotions aren’t in sync with your desires.  For instance, lets say you want to lose weight.  But when you tune in to your emotional side you realize that it doesn’t feel so good to you.  In fact you have this kind of knot in your stomach, you feel heavy and have this sense of dread.  What’s going on here?  Does your emotional side want you to stay heavy?

Probably not.  But your emotional side may be feeling something like this…

• Oh boy…I gotta eat nothing but celery for the next few month….yuck!!! I really hate depriving myself.
• Losing weight is sooooo complicated!  I have to count calories, buy special food, and never get to eat stuff I like
• Oh no……….I have to exercise!  I hate exercising!  And I have no time to go to the gym either.  And  frankly I don’t want to look foolish in front of everyone as I stumble through classes, probably knocking everyone over and ending up at the bottom of a heap of tangled up, angry bodies!

So you see why your emotional side may not be on board with you losing weight?  It’s not the goal….but the possible methods that are hanging you up here.

So how do you get around that?

First of all, remember that the Universe – not you – gets to take care of the “how.”  So you don’t even need to speculate on how you’re going to reach your goal.

Second, when you’re asking for what you want (refer to the manifesting kit if you need a refresher on how to do that) make sure to include things like:

• It’s fun and easy
• I’m excited about the process that unfolds
• I see steady results
• It easily fits into my lifestyle
• It easily fits into my budget

You get the idea.  Let the Universe know that you want to manifest this goal in a way that fulfills your emotional side and doesn’t bring up red flags that may sabotage your results.
