The Art of Allowance
The only thing truly standing in the way of us having, doing and being everything that we desire is ourselves. It’s important to know and fully understand that. We’re all denying ourselves something.
Often, things that could propel our success or progress if we would only allow it into our lives. Seemingly minor things in some cases, grand things in others.
We fail to live in the bigger picture. Grand things are not accomplished by grand gestures but are pieced together by small everyday things and choices, adding up to create something enormous in the end.
To accomplish all that we desire to do, have and be we must know what OUR bigger picture is. Focus on IT and what can get us to IT. Allow other battles to fall to other people who have claimed those battles as their own.
To create our ideal selves and lives, we must learn to allow ourselves to have, do & be things that may seem or feel, less than ideal. Such is the nature of life. We aren’t meant to be perfect because we can’t do ALL of the things.
We can only do lots of the things per lifetime. In only one lifetime, all we can hope for is to make progress and do our best.
Even though I fully understand this concept, I still struggle with denying myself things.
I deny myself soda water because it comes in plastic bottles. Fight internal battles between organic food and zero waste, vegan and gluten free, a healthy child and a happy family.
I can’t do it all. It’s a constant choice between denying something & allowing another. Life is a battle. We have to choose which ones help us win OUR war and leave the others to be fought by those who are better prepared for such terrains.
Denience of Abundance
The most common form of denying ourselves things is that of abundance. We deny ourselves time in the morning to meditate or eat breakfast. We deny ourselves a new outfit, rug or bedding because of this reason or that.
Skipping the long luxurious bath at night for a quick, nothing special, every day type of shower instead. This is all sending the universe vibrations of lack. Because, afterall, we’re denying ourselves these things because of time, money, sustainability or self deservance.
We think we’re being strong, kind or caring. Putting others before ourselves, saving the Earth, cutting back on our carbon footprint, I mean, after all, doesn’t it make me all zen and saintlike to sacrifice worldly desires and deny myself luxuries? Isn’t it selfish for me to want to want all of these things?
No, Love, it only brings down your vibes and sends the wrong messages to the universe. It’s anti-manifesting.
When you deny yourself things, you’re coming from a place of lack. Since like attracts like, this is only going to bring about more lack. . If you want to live an abundant life, you have to come from a place of abundance.
You have to trust that the universe will provide for you. Your mantra must be things like, “There’s always more where that came from.” or “There’s plenty to go around for everyone!” or even, “It’s ok to leave that battle to someone else.”
When you deny yourself things (even self care), you’re telling the universe is that you aren’t ready for more. If you deny it to yourself, why would the universe bring it to you?
The Mindset of Abundance
To invite more into your life, you have to figure out how to stop denying yourself things. This means taking your old, false & limiting beliefs, shredding them up, throwing them out and adopting new, fresh, abundant and self serving beliefs!
Allowing yourself to take better care of yourself is going to help you to feel better, which means taking care of others and the world better, easier and more effortlessly.
Allowing yourself to buy something new every now and again is going to raise your vibrations, invite more abundance into your life and set the standards for what you want the universe to bring you.
Investing in yourself is going to show the universe that you’re serious about what you want and ready for it to come into being.
