\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 290 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

Very often, your biggest roadblocks to achieving goals are the labels you put on yourself. What you think of you helps to attract what you get. If you think of yourself as:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too fat to be worthy of attracting great people into your world
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too boring to attract the person you\u2019d like to have a relationship with
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too inexperienced to audition for the part in a play you want
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too short to play basketball
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too old to change your career<\/p>\n

If you have any of these kinds of beliefs they will block you from getting the things you say you want. These can be things you\u2019ve heard from someone else or something you\u2019ve always believed. When you think of yourself as a passionate, interesting, valuable, unique and genuine person, those positive expectations will help you manifest what you want
\nyour life.Do you stand in your own way? Your expectations can greatly effect what you manifest. You can create roadblock by thinking of yourself as:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Not attractive enough to sing in clubs.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too old to do what you want.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Too inexperienced to get the job you want
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Not educated in the right school to advance in your career
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The wrong sex for the career you want<\/p>\n

When you begin to value all your positive attributes you can let go of negative beliefs about you. Write down all the good stuff about you as a reminder that you have a lot to offer.When you think of yourself ascreative, passionate, interesting, valuable, unique and genuine, those positive expectations will be reflected in your life.<\/p>\n

Thinking highly of yourself doesn’t mean you have to be arrogant or egotiitistic. When you truly think highly of yourself, you’ll e prove those thoughts by what you attract.<\/p>\n

You can be held back by your expectations, or encouraged forward by your expectations. Make the choice to be encouraged, inspired, motivated and compelled by the positive things you expect of yourself.<\/p>\n

Sure, there are many difficult factors you’ll face in life. Don’t add your own negative expectations to those challenges. Why give the Law of Attraction ammo to use against you? Try to expect the best of yourself in every situation. And bring those expectations to the font of your thoughts so the Law of Attraction can help you manifest what you want. Remember, your thoughts attract what you get. Make them good thoughts!<\/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\/5623","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=5623"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5625,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5623\/revisions\/5625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
