What’s Too Good for YOU?

January 16, 2015 by Lamisha

So, I’ve been thinking a lot about manifesting and creating a life we love and I keep coming up against this common theme. It’s something I remember thinking about a few years ago in a positivity training for a job I was working at the time. We were given an exercise to think of our dream car.

As my fellow co-workers were scribbling away on their note cards, I was stumped. I didn’t have a dream car per se. If it was reliable, had good gas mileage, and didn’t look too bad on the outside, it was a good option for me. Up until that moment I’d never thought about what my dream car might be.

The facilitator apparently had come across this before and encouraged us to come up with our dream car regardless of how tough it might be. Once I had an answer down (I don’t even remember at this point what that was), he asked a question that has stuck with me over the years.

What’s too good for you?

When we think about what we want in life, we often imagine what is ‘realistic’ and ‘logical’ for us based on what we know about our lives, income level etc. When I was thinking of my dream car, a Rolls Royce didn’t quite match my vision. In my mind that was something that was just too good for me. (It also isn’t something I would want to drive now anyways.)

Several years later that question has come up in many conversations with clients. Thinking of the life they would love to live, they begin using their logic to come up with what they desire. When I tell them to throw logic to the wind, sometimes it’s still difficult to come up with the ideal life because there are things that just feel too good for them.

Why is that?

What is it about a life that feels amazing inside and out that scares us or causes us to pull back a bit?

Is it the fear of disappointment?

The thought we don’t deserve it?

Or maybe it’s just a matter of wondering if it’s possible to really have it all?

For so long we’ve been taught some messed up lessons about abundance, love, and living a happy life that we grow up thinking it’s only meant for some people, but certainly not us.

Lessons like: If you have love, be happy you have it because very few have love AND money.

We’ve been taught that it’s possible for a select few…the rich and famous, the extremely talented people that we see on television every day, but not little ‘ole us.

That’s a LIE.

We all have the same abilities to create and craft the amazing life of our dreams. With love, abundance, success, joy, family, community, creativity, and freedom. ALL OF US.

And as soon as you decide that you can have it all and that there is nothing too good for you, you will begin to see shifts happen almost instantly in your life. I promise.

This isn’t about having all the money in the world or driving the most expensive car. This is about living a life that resonates with YOU. That illustrates what is most important to you. THAT is what the life of your dreams is about.

So, today I ask you…what’s too good for you to be, have, or do?

My answer? Nothing.

And if you are willing to make the decision to stand in your creative power to make your life all you have ever wanted, I have two things that may be of interest to you.

February 1st begins the Magical Manifesting journey where I will be taking a group of like-minded souls on a practical journey to tap into the creative manifesting power we all have within. To learn together, support one another, and to apply the Law of Attraction to craft and create the life of your dreams. 6-weeks together with amazing, magical results. You can learn more about the program and get signed up here.

For those of you looking for a more 1:1 approach, I have a few spots left for my signature Breakthrough Program. 90-Days to dig into what you want and what’s holding you back while providing support as you take the steps you need to begin living the life of your dreams today. You can learn more about that program and sign up for a free 30-minute consultation here.

There’s no reason to think that you have to settle for a life that doesn’t feel good. I want to help more women like you show up and embrace the life you deserve and feel good about it.

Now is your time..are you ready?

My Biggest Fear…

January 13, 2015 by Lamisha

If you are on my VIP list you know I’ve been thinking about fear and how it’s a f–king liar.

It’s true. And even though I know this to be true, I have still struggled with fear myself in many ways.

The fear of being seen in my business was a big one for a long time that kept me playing small.

But, my biggest fear of them all has been…lack of control.

You see, for as long as I can remember, I’ve always tried to be 2-4 steps ahead of my current circumstances. Trying to make sure all things go as planned and that I don’t end up blindsided by some crazy disappointment in life, I would work out all the outcomes in my mind and figure out how to avoid the bad ones.

Simply put I worried…a lot!

I developed general anxiety because I was always trying to stay ahead of the moment. If I was making a decision about what to do, I would try to predict the outcome so I could strategize how to cope with it in advance. Needless to say I wasn’t mindful or present in any moment. I was always worrying about the future.

When it came to goal setting and setting intentions, I would torture myself! I needed to know how it was going to work out and while I had some positive focus that it would, if I didn’t see the way, then I wasn’t convinced.

I had zero faith.

It’s taken a long time for me to get over that general anxiety and to stop worrying so much, but there are times when I can feel myself slipping back into needing to know how things are going to work out as opposed to just trusting they will.

The truth is, if we expect a specific outcome and we are open to how the outcome is manifested, there is nothing to worry about. The perceived control I have over seemingly everything in my life is a bit misunderstood.

The only things we control are our thoughts & actions which in turn create our reality.

So, if being a control freak in how your dreams come true is something you struggle with, take a step back. Take a deep breath and grab a pen and notebook.

I want you to write down all the ways your dream (or another situation) could manifest perfectly. I’m not saying these are all things you might believe at the moment, but write down all the ways it could happen. Get creative and remember that the Universe has every resource available to use and we only know a very small portion of that. To expect that our way is the only way is a bit misguided and is the best way to lead to frustration and it may even cause a delay in manifesting what we want in our lives.

Be open to more than just the way you think is ‘realistic’ or ‘probable’. The Universe doesn’t work with reality…it works with magic & miracles and I assure you as soon as you open your mind to ‘how’ it can happen and let go of the outcome a bit, more magic and miracles will find you. It’s just how it works.

If you are still struggling with manifesting your deepest desires and want to learn about how to make that happen with ease, grace, and more flow, I encourage you to check out my 7 Secrets to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams. In this free video series, I share with you my biggest secrets to manifesting. Secrets I’ve learned after many years of trying to be realistic and logical.

Magical Manifesting is a wonderful way to create the life you have always wanted…not just in cash and things that you can buy, but in experiences, time, and freedom. Manifesting the beautiful experiences and feelings you’ve always desired and inspiring others to do the same is why I do this work.

I would love for you to join us on February 1st for a journey of Magical Manifesting. This 6-week group program will give you the steps, tools, and secrets you need to create the life you have always wanted and provide you the practical experience that will infuse you with the faith you need to keep going. Space is limited, so if you are interested I highly encourage you to reserve your place now!

Manifesting My Dream Life

January 9, 2015 by Lamisha

I am all about creating a life you love, because seriously if you aren’t loving your life, something needs to happen.

Life is short and there is enough mediocrity, pain, darkness, and general negativity in the world that you don’t need to look at your job, relationship, business, career, family, or anything else in your life and feel more of the same.

It’s time something changed.

Over the years the concept of what my dream life actually entailed has changed.

I’ve grown up a bit and while I’m older (only in age, definitely NOT in spirit), I have bigger more wild dreams than I ever had as a child.

At one time I simply wanted a ‘secure’ life, with a stable job, and love…lots of love (I’m a Leo after all). But as time wore on, I wanted more than that.

I craved freedom, family, love, passion, purpose, excitement, adventure, abundance, happiness, peace, community, creativity, support, inspiration…you know just a few things.

Through studying the Law of Attraction, I realized I could have it all…and I started manifesting the life of my dreams one piece at a time.

The first thing that came was love…I manifested my soul mate. I didn’t know at the time I was manifesting a soul mate per se, but I knew exactly what I wanted in a partner and shortly after writing a list of all the attributes I was looking for in a woman, I found her. Looking for love incidentally lead to a ton of adventure as I left my life at ‘home’ and moved 300+ states away…and never looked back.

A few years later, we had our son…which by a string of amazing synchronicities couldn’t have happened without clear focus and manifesting mojo for sure. (I won’t go into details, but it was a series of perfectly aligned energy.)

Not long after that, I manifested an opportunity to work from home to spend more time with my family. An opportunity that literally fell into my lap and it couldn’t have happened had I not made peace with my current position while focusing on what I was seeking, even though I had NO idea how it would happen.

9 months later, I manifested a brand-spankin’ new house (in 3 days)…in another state that we were moving too (and more adventures of course).

Then my dream career of coaching and did I mention money, connection, purpose, passion, and so much joy?

Yeah all that too…

When I write about living the life of your dreams, it isn’t some abstract idea or thought about what you might be able to achieve. I’m also not blowing smoke up your rear.

I’m 100% serious about the fact that you can be, have, or do anything you want.

Every woman I speak with has a vision and I know it’s possible…but my knowing isn’t enough. I teach you to actually utilize the amazing power you have within to create the life you’ve always wanted.

Want to sell everything off and live in a tiny house off the grid? Yes, you can do that.

Want a mansion with a staff to take care of you and your estate? Yes, you can do that too.

Want a business that provides financial freedom, joy, and passion for the rest of your days? Yep, you can have that too.

I’m not giving you the power, I’m just teaching you how to use it. You already have the power…we all do.

And that’s why I created the Magical Manifesting group program to reach more women like you who crave something more. A life that you aren’t just settling for…a life that you LOVE.

Manifesting is something we all can do..in fact you are already doing it in every action, thought, and feeling you have. It’s time to harness that power and to truly create the amazing life you’ve always wanted. This practical 6-week program does more than give you the steps to make it happen, it provides practical application so you not only know it works, but you have evidence in your own life.

Are you ready to manifest the life you’ve always wanted? Give me 6 weeks and I’ll give you everything you need to make it happen. You can check out the program HERE. If you aren’t sure about it just yet, but want to get a taste for what all this manifesting business is about, sign up to receive my FREE Video Series: 7 Secrets to Create the Life of Your Dreams. I promise you won’t be sorry you did.

The When/Then Manifesting Pitfall

December 12, 2014 by Lamisha

When you think of your happiness and what it takes for you to live a happy life, do you find that you mostly feel that way in the present?

Or, do you find yourself falling into what I call the When/Then Manifesting Pitfall.

We all know that when we want to create or manifest a specific thing (be it a career, money, a relationship etc.) it is because we think it will make us feel good. We search for happiness and want certain things in our lives to feel fulfilled, worthy, and blissful. But when we are in the process of creating or manifesting those things, we often find ourselves feeling antsy, uncomfortable, and impatient.

We might look around asking “Well where is it?”.

And if you are like me you might be saying…“When I have the money/car/relationship/career/body I want…THEN I’ll be happy/grateful/fulfilled etc.”

Unfortunately, that’s not how it works.

When you are in manifesting mode, you have to first know that it is coming and enjoy the process.

I have one too many times fallen into the habit of taking score of what I want and how long it takes to get here. All the while I am missing all of the amazing things around me. At times in my life I have been a conditional happy person, meaning under certain conditions I would be happy. (Mostly when things were going really well.)

Falling into the When/Then Pitfall is so easy in our world. We are constantly on the look out for the next thing to bring about joy that we miss the very thing in front of us that could make us happy now. And the crazy thing is that in order to manifest what you want, you have to be happy first.

What the career of your dreams? Make peace with the job you have.

What more money? Be grateful for the money you have and enjoy where you are.

What a better relationship? Appreciate the positive aspects your partner brings to the table and simply be happy.

The best thing you can do when you are trying to manifest anything, is start by focusing on what brings you joy in all aspects of your life.

Find your joy with the in-between time. As the details are coming together and you haven’t yet reached the ultimate manifestation, know that it is coming and choose joy, happiness, and bliss now. After all life is to be lived and enjoyed in the present as opposed to some arbitrary moment in the future.

Life is meant to be loved, enjoyed, and appreciated in the moment…always. Don’t wait for the future to live the life of your dreams…start now with the little moments.

Your action step for the day is to be mindful of all the joy, happiness, and blissful moments you have right in front of you. Notice them, appreciate them, and welcome them with open arms. When you do that, I guarantee all those things you have been wanting to manifest will come that much quicker. 🙂

A Lesson in Leaning Back

October 2, 2014 by Lamisha

I’ll be the first to admit when I want something, I can become hyper-focused on it. (Ok maybe a little obsessed.)

I think about it. I visualize it. I analyze it. I talk about it.

I often jump into action mode quickly and can sometimes forget to listen to my heart.

When it comes to my business and my goals, I often lunge forward when what I truly need to do is lean back and trust.

Today I was reminded of the importance of leaning back.

I’ve been working a bit on expansion in my life and in my business and part of that means reaching outside my comfort zone.

I’m taking risks and stepping into the spotlight so much more than I have before. It’s exciting, exhilarating, and honestly it feels so right.

But, in the midst of taking inspired action and clearing my own BS, I sometimes come to a point when I get too focused on the outcome.

I want results and I want them…last week.

The result?

Lots of resistance, disappointment, feelings of lack, and taking forced action as opposed to inspired. (It’s not pretty.)

But, lucky for me I have an amazing support system including my own business coach who reminds me when it’s time to just lean back.

So, what is leaning back really?

To put it simply, it’s trusting the process and staying the course. It’s detaching from the results and knowing that everything is working out perfectly. It also means that you know that whatever it is you are trying to manifest or achieve is already done.

It’s happening now. The money, relationship, career, and clients you want are on the way. When you stay the course and know it is all coming to you now, you don’t have to worry. You can just enjoy the ride.

I’ll give you another example of what happens when you lean back.

A friend of mine was having a few slow weeks in her business. She was doing the work and trying hard to figure things out. She was in action all the time, until one day when she decided she needed a break. Both her mind & body needed a reprieve from all the action so she took a few days off. She lounged around in her comfy clothes and allowed herself some time to just rest. In the middle of her second day of rest, she gets a call from a new client.

Leaning back allows the energy you have put into motion to do the work for you.

No more pushing, prodding, or forcing things to happen.

So if you find yourself feeling anxious and are being busy for the sake of being busy. Try a different approach.

Just lean back. Let go. Let it flow, and remember you have the power to create & enjoy the life of your dreams. Sometimes that means letting go of the reins so the powers of the Universe can work for you.

Do you feel like you are forcing a particular area of your life right now? If so, what is it? Share in the comments below and commit to leaning back for a few days.
