A little while ago I posted questions on Facebook about warm socks: What are your faves? Where can I get them?
My intention was warm feet; however, my propensity to not love shopping kicked in - as well as my belief/perspective which has gained a lot of momentum over many years (this photo of shopping was almost 12 years ago).
I didn’t buy socks. I forgot about the whole thing.
This is a very simple Law of Attraction ✨🌟💫 principle: things which have momentum will go in that direction unless you focus elsewhere or change the belief/perspective. So “those things” that you have talked about or thought about for a long time which aren’t budging…it’s always for one reason only: resistance. Your resistance. You’re doing that thing you do around that topic that keeps what is in your vibrational escrow from manifesting in your reality. It’s already created. You don’t even need to attract it, you just need to allow it.
Back to the socks. I love to tell stories to my coaching clients all day long because that is how we remember things. Especially if the story is not about us - or “that thing” that we really really want.
Key sentence so far: “I forgot about the whole thing.”
Yesterday I opened a care package from my sister. She lives in New Mexico and is the best big sister ever in a myriad of ways. She’s always giving me stuff: towels, sheets, robes, tee shirts, bowls, mugs…the list goes on. She sends the Wells Party of 7 care packages.
As my Chickens 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 unpacked the care package, guess what was in there? Warm socks. I’m wearing a pair right now.
The Universe hears what you feel not what you say. If you say “I want warm socks” and concurrently have a strong feeling/belief/momentum of “I don’t like to shop, I’m not a shopper,” you can’t get there from there. No socks are coming anytime soon so you better develop some patience.
I don’t teach patience. I teach focus and deliberate creation. I teach how to shift beliefs and perspectives to allow what you have already created. You already created that thing (socks) in the moment you had the desire (Step 1).
Step 1 is you ask. Step 2 is not your work, the Universe provides immediately. (It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t say, “No, she hasn’t been working hard enough, she doesn’t ‘deserve’ socks,” the Universe gives immediately.) Step 3 is you allow it into your experience.
How? How to allow? If it feels fun to think about socks - the socks that are coming - think about the socks. By all means! Bask in the thought of the socks. Enjoy the feeling of how the socks will feel on your feet. Think about how good warm feet feel. Expect the socks.
I could’ve just clicked the link that @missylash sent me but I didn’t…why? Too much momentum on the train going in the opposite direction of socks, too much momentum in the direction of “I am not a shopper. I don’t like to shop.”
So back to the how of allowing…if it feels good to think about the socks you want, go for it. If it feels icky to think about the socks then get off the topic of socks. Pivot and focus elsewhere. Use your Jedi Focus. I cannot focus in your mind, only you can.
And, you can.
Often my clients ask, “Taylor, why did it come when I gave up?” And I explain that you didn’t give up, you focused elsewhere and then without doing that thing you do to keep it away (resistance), in it came!
My socks are so comfy and cozy and warm. I love my socks.
