Why is the Law of Attraction Not Working for You
Content
It’s happening again. You’ve come to the point in the month when you need to pay your utility bill (along with the rest) and you thought you had enough money, but you don’t. You ask yourself “Why isn’t Law of Attraction working for me?”
You think you’re leveraging LoA, doing all of the things you researched you needed to do (i.e. meditating, journaling, staying happy, mantras, etc.). But time goes on and the same thing keeps happening with money. Feeling confident or blissfully unaware with your money, then all the sudden you don’t have enough. But you were so sure you did!
Once you realize it’s a pattern, you ask yourself, “Why does this keep happening?”
Maybe you decide to figure it out and double down on your manifesting techniques to focus more on money and making sure this doesn’t happen again. Two months go by, and you realize you’ve done it again. You spent too much money and you’ve overdrafted your account.
This feels awful. You can feel like a failure or like you’ll never get better, or that LoA just doesn’t work for you.
This used to happen to me too.
I could manifest money, but I would always overspend and not have enough for bills, or I’d overdraft my account. That’s when I would have a panic attack or depressive episode - I’d go total melt-down mode and throw up my hands. A little time would pass and somehow, I’d get flush again. Looking back, I never knew how I got flush. Sometimes, I would beg for a loan from my parents or a friend, but mostly my checking account just kind of shifted back to the black and out of the red.
This is when I would relax, and go back to regular life. I’d be unaware of the money that was coming in or what I was spending. After some time, the same thing would happen again. I would overdraft my account or have a huge unexpected bill show up. This was all while I was actively leveraging the Law of Attraction.
It turns out, I was living out my money story.
What is a money story? It’s the story of how we are with money, it even has a title.
When you pick up the book Cinderella, you know that there’s going to be the cruel Step Mother and Step Sisters, a Prince, a ball, a glass slipper, and how it ends. You have an idea of how the story flows - from “Once upon a time,” you know where this is going. When Cindy is getting mistreated by her Step Mother and Sisters, you always have a sense of ease knowing she will eventually escape them to a better life. When Cindy is running away from the Prince, frightened she’ll never again experience the attention from a Royal or the glitz and glam of being in the palace - you still know where she’s going to end up.
Your money story is just like that. Every time you get money, the same things happen. It’s the story of how you interact with money when it shows up for you. Just like with Cinderella, you know where it’s going as soon as you see the book. Every time you read the book, it ends the same way. Same with money. Every time you get money, the story plays out the same, even if you don’t consciously do it.
Money stories are picked up by default because we didn’t consciously choose something. Unless we are consciously creating our own story.
Your money story is how you interact with money and how money shows up for you. Like Cinderella, when you pick up that book with that title, you know what’s going to happen and what it entails. When she shows up at the ball, you know how she handles it. Every time you read that book it ends up the same way.
My old money story was Survival. I knew that any money coming in for me would never be enough, or it seemed to just go away without my being aware.
A perfect example of how Survival played out for me back in the day. When I was a server at a high end steak house in Manhattan, I would get a huge tip on a table. Credit card tips showed up on our paychecks about 2 weeks after the shift ended. As soon as I realized someone gave me a huge tip, I would immediately tell all of my coworkers that I’m taking them out for a round of drinks on me. So before that big tip even hit my bank account, I had already pre-planned to spend it all. If we’re honest, I would spend more than the tip itself, and 2 weeks later I’d be in a tizzy because I didn’t have as much money as I had thought.
So you see, I could manifest money, but my money story (Survival) would always play out.
It’s important to realize that a money story is applicable at every level of income. Someone who makes $15,000 a month can have a survival money story, the same as someone who’s living on unemployment. This $15K a month person could receive a big payout of $1 million, and before receiving it in his account, already spend it on a $2 million boat that also costs an extra $300,000 a year in taxes and fees. This is because it’s not about the money, it’s about the story.
That’s why it doesn’t feel like the Law of Attraction is working for you, because you manifest money and things don’t actually change. It never feels like you get ahead - you take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
Once I learned how to write the money story I wanted to be living, things finally began to stick. I continued to manifest more and more more, AND keep it. I started to see big numbers in my checking account and I was seeing them consistently. I also opened up my first ever savings account, paid off my credit cards, and manifested over half a million dollars!
