If this is another gratitude list idea, I’d rather face plant into a pile of dirt. Infusing your entrepreneurial journey with The Law of Attraction, the lazy way.
I started my own entrepreneurial journey with a bucket of imposter syndrome, a nervous stomach with Pepto in every pocket, and a few (ok a lot) more grey hairs than when I started. Not only did I feel clueless, terrified, and worried about the benjamins coming in… but I needed a hell of a lot more support than what I was getting. So if you take those ingredients to my first ever entrepreneurial cake… one might think it must have sucked, failed, tanked, or I threw it the deuces and went back to being a worker bee for anyone else but myself!
But I didn’t. I held on to and soaked in any support, help, podcasts, checklists, YouTube videos and collected as many Starbucks stars as I could, as I dipped my stubby toes into private practice waters. AND I dug deep, and I mean deep, into The Law of Attraction to propel my pants sh*tting journey and help me find some sort of calm again. And not only a calm, but a sense of abundance that blew my little therapist brain, right out of the water.
I knew of The Law of Attraction prior to my pants sh*tting private practice journey, and at the same time, it was hard to put that into practice when I was so lost and overwhelmed. I also knew how to infuse it into my day to day life but didn’t really understand how to do this with business life. But I knew that I needed to.
I knew it was going to be the difference between a business that was a headache and a pain in the *ss, and a business that made me feel like it was going to take care of me and let me watch “just one more” episode of Love Island.
Not only did my private practice take off and thrive, but it is now transitioning to a solely cash pay and virtual practice AND I have now started a new endeavor helping other adorable therapists start their own heart pounding journey of starting their own thriving private practice. One that feels like it’s on autopilot and cruising at full throttle with The Law of Attraction, busting out of the seams.
And if there is one thing I can speak to, of how I infused and taught The Law of Attraction on the day to day and in my course, it is not just your average gratitude list or rainbows and unicorns oozing out of your ears. I mean, “yes” gratitude and love are the highest frequencies, the highest vibrations, and they completely help with manifestations. AND at the same time, sometimes just finding a similar tone, a similar feeling, can be all that’s needed.
I have manifested the most abundance in my life by simply taking all my geeking out on Law of Attraction and boiling it down to one thing - thinking about how many K-cups I have waiting in a drawer. By how easy and effortless coffee comes to me in my life. It shows up, every f*cking morning, waiting for me to enjoy it. It’s there to give me a boost, some joy, and a perk every morning. Abundantly showing up for me every morning. I don’t have doubts it will be there, I know it will be there, and in high quantity! And I love it and am grateful for it. I get excited about it and it makes me so happy. I want this same feeling I have with coffee, to flow into my businesses and to be how I feel about money, abundance, and security. Something that is just effortlessly there, that I love, and to be enjoyed. Heck yes!
I call this, the twin feeling.
So, sometimes it’s not about making a gratitude list to shift your vibration, only thinking happy thoughts, visualizing your future and all the things you want until you are pink, blue, and purple in the face... sometimes it’s about finding a twin feeling in the now to what your end goal, your next month’s income, your dream vacation, your soulmate, and your dream body will feel like in your epic life. What are twin feelings that are happening right now that already produce a similar feeling? Latch on to those twin feelings and replay the sh*t out of them, whenever you get a chance. Over and over.
Let’s say you want your business to explode (in a good way, ha!) which means you need to find twin feelings in your now related to excitement, security, constant flow, feelings of “holy shit,” and relief. Does your car give you that when you think about how you bought it, how it’s there for you every day, how it provides you with a sh*t ton of opportunity in life, and relief of the effortlessness of doing all of those things? Do any soon to be travel plans make you feel that way? The abundance of seeing new things, trying new food, meeting new people, and the “Holy shit! that was so much fun” just constantly flowing into your reality?
What about thinking about where you used to be 10 years ago and where you are now? Does that cause excitement about things evolving, growing, and all that potential? If there is resistance and challenging emotions popping up, then pivot and find something else!
What about if you are dating someone right now that you are just so f*cking jazzed about? Do you feel that excitement, joy, passion, and that “holy sh*t” feeling of how it’s evolving into something epic? Or maybe you have a favorite sandwich shop and this sandwich shop is always there for you. There for you with something that makes you excited and so satisfied. It’s always providing and giving an abundant sandwich of your favorite ingredients, effortlessly. And you feel happy with the explosion of deliciousness everytime you eat it.
Twin feelings baby!
So whenever you think about how much you want your business to prosper but you go to all the annoying-like-your-Uncle-Tom self doubts, problem solving, fear and stress… just find a twin feeling in your life right now and soak in it! Soak in it like you’re a frozen mountain man/woman/ they who hasn’t seen a hot tub in 20 years!
And when you think about that twin feeling, and you go about your shiny day from that emotional place, you take actions that lead you to exactly where you want to be. You see things showing up: opportunities, conversations, sales, moments, checks in the mail, and clients popping on your calendar because you are going about your day from that twin feeling, emotional place. You are going about your day from that twin feeling that you are soaking in and thinking about as often as you can. When you are soaking in that twin feeling, you don’t need to force the “how” of your entrepreneurial journey. You don’t need to think it to death to find the next step. Things just pop up and flow. You get in tune with what feels like the least resistance, and give it a dinosaur sized “heck yes!”
That’s it. This is honestly all I have been practicing for the past year, and it has made The Law of Attraction that much easier… and I have honestly been that much lazier with my practice of it. Lazier while seeing a heck of a lot more prosperity, opportunity, and abundance than when I was practicing all of the 3,478 Law of Attraction mindset techniques I had learned from the 578 related books. It’s funny how you can peel off so many layers of an idea, to grasp one that really f*cking works for you, and then to really see a sh*t ton of change.
I think a big ol’ “Keep it simple Sally!” is in order here.
I think that, in itself, is an act of law of attraction. When we feel so complicated about something in our lives like our business, relationships, a concept or idea (like The Law of Attraction) it can feel overwhelming, stressful, and like you're failing… and then that adds to your vibration/ emotional place also. So why not simplify The Law of Attraction so your vibration about it is lighter, effortless, and exciting (all emotions that are typically related to those shiny things you want!).
All you get to do, before going back to “just one more episode on Netflix,” is to “put your order in” of what you want with your life, business, relationships, body, income, and health. Then, find a twin feeling of something in your life right now and just soak in that. Be in that emotion and twin feeling, and act and go about your life from that emotional space as much as possible. And then just sit back, be in awe, enjoy your ice cream, soak in how f*cking epic you actually are, and watch your entrepreneurial journey really start to sparkle, glow, and sh*t out unicorns.
