Sometimes You Have to Let Go
Have you ever focused intently on achieving a goal you really
wanted and wondered why it wouldn’t come to you? You’ve written
it down, read it aloud night and day, meditated on it, stuck
notes to yourself about it all over the house, your car and work
and still you can’t seem to manifest it?
Late spring and summer is our slow time at work. It’s the time
of year that we, as owners, start to fret a little bit at the
rising digits of our back pay that is due to us. It’s at this
time I focus most intensely on bringing new jobs in. I write
number goals on slips of paper and focus on them. I listen to my
hypnosis tapes about drawing opportunities toward me. I work 14
hour days. I bend over backward for the clients we have jobs due
for. And yet, somehow… still no progress.
Finally one day in frustration I said to my business partner
Jeannette. “I’ve been meditating, I’ve been focusing, and we’re
still broke! What is up with that?” What she said made me really
think about not just money but everything I wanted for myself.
She said “Maybe you’re focusing too hard. Maybe you need to just
let it go for awhile.” I think Jeannette is a genius.
In all the articles and books I’ve read about manifesting, a
common theme is that you can’t focus in desperation. You have to
declare your intent and then let it go. I had forgotten that
important step.
Another important thing to consider is what you say to yourself
or others (see You Are What You Speak?). If you train your
subconscious well enough - and it doesn’t take much - it is
going to follow through with its instructions.
About five weeks ago I had a coffee date that ended up being one
of the best days of my life. After getting out of a long term
relationship a year ago I had been on a string of really
comically bad dates. I wondered why on earth I was attracting
all the wrong men until I realized I had been telling myself
that I needed a year before I got into another serious
relationship. As soon as I realized this, like magic Rob
appeared and we both knew from that first date that this was
it. We have been just about inseparable since our second
date and are happily making plans for the future together.
Next time you’re frustrated that things you want and have
focused on just aren’t working out right, try to let it go for
awhile and double check to make sure you aren’t sabotaging
yourself with your very words. Do something to pamper yourself,
get away (even if it’s just to the park across town) and just
breathe. The things you want will come to you eventually. Trust
me on this one.

Why do I have temporary hearing loss during exercise sometimes?
I’ve had this problem for as long as I can remember. I can be lifting weights or maybe just working out and all of the sudden my hearing sounds like I have ear muffs on.
