\"\"<\/a>This is post 176 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power tomanifest all your desires. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to manifest what you want if you\u2019re more concerned with pleasing others than with pleasing yourself. That in itself tells the Universe you don\u2019t deserve to own the power you could have. As a DoorMat for many years, I know how bad my vibration was back then. But I didn\u2019t recognize how I was attracting a disempowered life by letting others control me in the name of wanting to be liked by everyone. \u201cNo\u201d wasn\u2019t part of my vocabulary.<\/p>\n

I did wonder why life didn\u2019t go my way but kept up my people pleasing ways. For a long time I believed that people who went after what they wanted weren\u2019t nice, and I wanted to be nice! It finally hit me that I could be nice but firm about making sure my needs were met. When I began to stand up for me, I noticed that I felt good, so good that I kept going. I was still a nice person but I spoke up and went after my desires. That created a positive vibration that began to attract what I wanted.<\/p>\n

Empowering yourself tells the Universe you value your needs and deserve good stuff. The better you feel, the better your manifesting. I\u2019ve posted videos with EFT expert Brad Yates<\/a> before because I love following along and Tapping with him. In the one below, he uses honey bears as an analogy. While we shouldn\u2019t emulate how honey bears can be aggressive and selfish about taking from others, we can learn from them to feel entitled to get your share of life.<\/p>\n

When you hurt or unfairly take from people it comes back to you in ways you don\u2019t like. But Brad says we can still learn from and emulate parts of honey bear behavior. They know how to go fro what they want. The Tapping video below addresses empowering yourself using the good aspects of a honey bee. Tapping helps clear the resistance that blocks manifesting and raises your vibration so you can attract a lot more good stuff. Try tapping along with this video and empower yourself to manifest more!
