At the end of the day, you are responsible for living your life. And while most people can agree to this and jump on board with this concept, there’s an aspect to it that most people don’t like getting behind and prefer to not think about. We’re also responsible for our mistakes.

One of the key components to manifestation is not worrying about the “how” it comes into being. But at the same time, you have to be doing something to actually have it come into fruition. So you have to set the intention and forget it, but still work toward it. But focusing on it can leave you missing opportunities. Sounds confusing, doesn’t it? This week in Deeper Thoughts let’s take a look at how your manifestations can pop up in ways you don’t always expect.

People want to stick to their comfort zone because stepping out of it can appear scary. All the “what ifs?” and unknowns frighten people. Too many things can be outside your control. The unfamiliar waters to navigate. The risk of failure. So many things are out there that keep too many people inside their own little box. But what most people don’t realize is that being in that comfort zone can be one of the most uncomfortable places in the world.

Many times when we’re building something, creating art, making a sale, cooking food, etc, we think of us doing that act. We think of that end result happening because we did it. And while yes, this is true, I want to take this week’s Deeper Thought’s post to shift our mindset a bit here so that we can be more present in the moment and think of these things coming about because they’re happening not because of you, but through you.

Most of us in the spiritual circles take stock in concepts such as astrology or numerology to varying degrees. But the problem is many people will use these concepts as copes and excuses for behavior that’s not favorable.

There are two types of people when it comes to failure. Those who give up, and those who LEARN from failure. These are the people who examine their failures. They look at what they did wrong, what they should’ve done differently and know to apply it in the future. These same people will even look into what they did right, and see what they could have done better.

There’s a negative connotation with walking away from situations that no longer serve you. In today’s world this has become synonymous with giving up. But is walking away from something and giving up the same? Is there a difference? If there is, what is the difference? This week in Deeper Thoughts let’s walk through walking away.

A common topic you hear when you get into spiritual or esoteric circles is the top of affirmations. These are especially prevalent in the feel good only circles that focus on positive affirmations and rejecting anything negative. But the question is do they work? This week in Deeper Thoughts we’re going to take a look at the ways affirmations work and don’t work, good and bad. And yes, there are negative affirmations.

We often will see someone’s success that just seems to come out of nowhere. We’ll look at what they’re doing and wonder, “What’s their secret? How did they get so successful?” What we see is the result of their hard work. Work that could’ve taken months or even years for them to finally reach that success.

There’s a massive difference between being aware of and prepared for a situation versus worrying and living in fear over it. That constant fear has multiple effects on you that, odds are, you’re not even aware of until you’re in the midst of those effects. Many get stuck in this loop and never realize it, which only deepens their worries, burrowing them further and further into their subconscious which makes it harder to escape from the pattern.

Many times we want to do something but something else gets in our way. We might want to get a new tool, furniture, or book a vacation, but then the car breaks down, hours at work get cut, or we need to get a new appliance. These are examples of external resistance, where outside forces affect our plans, desires, and needs. These are easier to see, assess, adapt and overcome. But there’s another type of resistance we all experience, and many times we’re not even aware of it. I

We live in a society where two major aspects clash with each other, focusing on making money, or focusing on family. Both are important, so what are we to do?

How many of you reading have looked up to the sky or closed your eyes and went inward and begged a god or group of gods, guiding spirit, your ancestors, or the universe at large for a sign? Something that symbolizes you’re either on the right path or point you in the direction of the right path.

But there is one way where you can acquire wealth faster, and that’s what we’re going to talk about this week in Deeper Thoughts. The act of offering services. The most successful businesses you see all have one thing in common. They all offer some kind of service.

There’s an issue in society right now where there’s a push for everyone trying to do everything on their own. Trying to be an island unto themselves. While it’s good to be self reliant and self sufficient, we are still a social species. This means we can’t do everything ourselves, and we need others for not only help in certain endeavors, but we also need connection.

Life is full of challenges and surprises. If you can’t train your mind to figure out workarounds for solutions you’ll never get ahead.

Pain, illness, and injury manifest on the physical level through your subconscious. Many times it can happen due to consistently fearing getting sick or hurt via the Law of Attraction. But just as often, these things can come about due to things embedded into our subconscious. Everything from back pain, issues conceiving, and even cancer, can all come about due to ways our subconscious is programmed and how it manifests through the metaphysical.

A term we often see get thrown around the spiritual/healing/psychological circles is Reparenting. But just what is reparenting? This week in Deeper Thoughts let’s take a look at what reparenting is and some examples of what it can look like.

Visualization is a great tool. Being conscious of your thoughts is important. Being aware of your intentions is crucial. Having a good solid plan can set you ahead. But all of that will get you nowhere without one key step.

Even the best families slip up or still have their own trauma they’re dealing with and healing from themselves.  Family is the heart of most of our childhood trauma. Your parents passed down coping mechanisms and traumas that were passed down from their parents. Many of us pass down those things to the next generation and never realize it. It’s as children that we’re exposed to abuse, abandonment, parentification, manipulation and other traumas for the first time.
