\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 252 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest 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

You can desire something a lot but if you have a negative belief about it, you probably won\u2019t manifest it. Negative beliefs are part of the resistance that can block your goal from happening. You can WANT to make more money badly\u2014VERY badly\u2014but if you believe that it\u2019s impossible, you\u2019ll never get rich. You won\u2019t manifest what you want just by wanting it. You manifest what you believe, consciously or subconsciously.<\/p>\n

Years ago I complained to a friend that I was fed up from not having met a guy I liked in a while. She laughed when I said in a disgruntled tone, \u201cThere are no good guys in NY,\u201d and pointed out that I\u2019d never find a good guy if I continued with that belief. She was right. I\u2019d been saying , \u201cThere are no good guys in NY,\u201d for years and that belief attracted the poor caliber of men the I met. So I changed my belief to , \u201cThere aren\u2019t many good guys in NY, but there is a good one for me.\u201d I kept affirming that and shortly after met my next boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Remember your beliefs tell the Law of Attraction in Action what you expectt, even if it\u2019s not what you want. Years ago my friend who lived in LA bugged me to come visit her. I was dying to see her but kept saying, \u201cI can\u2019t afford a ticket.\u201d Thankfully I recognized that my belief kept me from going and I told her I intended to find a way to get there, even though my money was tight. At the right time for me, I got booked to speak in LA, which meant they\u2019d fly me out here. I asked if my return flight could be a week later and they agreed. So I got to visit my friend in LA without a budget for it by changing my belief about why I couldn\u2019t come.<\/p>\n

Be vigilant about what underlying belief you have about what you want, even if you think you\u2019re joking, like I thought I was when I said, \u201cThere are no good guys in NY.\u201d When there are legitimate circumstances that could prevent what you want from happening, such black clouds and the forecast of rain all day when you\u2019re having an outdoor party or knowing layoffs are coming where you work and you\u2019ve only been there a short time or your car is making the same noise it did the last time your transmission went, and you can\u2019t afford that kind of expense\u2014declare \u201cI don\u2019t care how bad it looks. I will get what I need!\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had outdoor events where it rained everywhere but where I was. If your boss likes your work you may be spared during layoffs and the noise in your car could be a loose screw or something minor. I\u2019ve had many miracles happen because I refused to buy into the obvious belief. The next time you want something, look for what your beliefs about it is and change them. That clears the path to manifesting.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4726"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4729,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726\/revisions\/4729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
