Allowing Even a Little Doubt Can Scupper a Big Dream

Hands up if this is you: You have a dream, or a desire, and you would really like to achieve it and then you tell yourself that it probably won’t happen because you’re too old or too fat or too young or broke or it’s out of your league – does that sound familiar? In this post I’m sharing two tools which will allow you to get rid of any doubts like that and stop them from scuppering your dreams.

Doubts are dream killers, desire sinkers, goal blockers. Even the smallest of niggly little doubts can throw up a wall stopping you in your tracks. Even the smallest of doubts can, and do, keep you from achieving anything worthwhile in your life. They can stop you from applying for that great job, from getting to know your soulmate, from passing your driving test, getting that promotion and – well, I’m sure you get the idea.

So why do we have doubts if they seemingly have nothing better to do than stop us from doing the stuff we want? Well not all doubts are negative, there are those which are positive and actually protect us. Doubts come from our subconscious minds and form part of our Fight or Flight system and back when we had more to worry about than who’s saying what about us on Facebook, they helped to prevent us from wild beasts, rival tribes and eating weird plants. They created a wariness for certain potentially dangerous situations and worked with our intuition to keep us from harm.

In our modern age they still carry out similar duties and can protect us from all kinds of dangers – still plenty of baddies and weird plants out there! However, as such, they also do their best to keep us in our Comfort Zones so when we want to try something new, in kicks our subconscious minds with a little niggle or two. If we take notice of them, and we mostly do, we use the doubt as an excuse, as a justification for not doing what we really want to do. My hunch is, many of you are nodding your heads right now and are asking, “Well what can we do to stop these doubts?”

In his book “Law of Attraction”, Michael Losier lists 10 Allowing Tools which are designed for that very purpose. I’m going to share one of the tools from the book plus another which isn’t on the list. Are you ready to plug that hole and get sailing off into your desired new adventure?

This first Allowing Tool is simply called Allowing Statements. Here’s how they work.

Let’s say you’ve started a new business and you’re in the process of attracting your ideal clients and you’ve written Desire Statements to that effect. As you read through them one of them causes a little doubt to surface. 

For example, it could be “I’m excited at the thought of serving my ideal clients” or “I love the thought of meeting my ideal clients at Networking Meetings” but little Doubty Tom pipes up and says – “Yeah, if I get any!” or “As if that’s going to work! Remember last time when…”  

Allowing Statements help to eliminate that doubt by helping you understand what’s possible. In order for these to work effectively simply follow these four guidelines:

1.      Ask: Is there anyone on the planet having or doing this now?
2.  If so, how many today, yesterday, tomorrow, next week etc.
3. Make it believable.
4. Exclude any reference to yourself.

With the above examples in mind, here are a couple of Allowing Statements around attracting your ideal clients:

Today someone just met an ideal client at a Networking Meeting.

Around the world millions of clients are receiving great service.

1000’s of new business owners in the UK meet their ideal clients at Networking events.

Get the picture?

OK, let’s move on to next Allowing Tool  which is called “What I like best about…”

This tool is cool because you get to write lots of positive stuff about your favourite client, customer, workmate, employee and so on. Here’s how it works.

Let’s say, in this scenario, you are in the process of attracting your ideal job. Your feelings about your Desire Statements are pretty good, however you would like that little bit of added assurance – just in case (Note the Doubt here?). You have a good idea of how your ideal job should fit into your life, so you take a sheet of paper and you write the heading: Here’s what I like about my ideal job (obviously you would be a bit more specific). Then list what you expect or want, for example:

I love that my boss really cares about  their staff

I get paid well

My hours are flexible and I can take care of the children easily

The work is very enjoyable

There are great opportunities for promotion

And so on.

The thing is, the Law of Attraction doesn’t know if you’re writing fantasy or truth, it doesn’t see what you’re writing, hear what you’re saying or know what you’re thinking. It only knows what you are feeling, what you are vibrating, about any given situation or thing or person and will strive to match that vibration because that’s its job description: Match Vibrations.

That means you can use these tools, and the others in Michael’s book, to help attract anything you want into your life – providing you are prepared to Allow it and trust the Law of Attraction to orchestrate and unfold whatever needs to happen to attract and allow your Desires to sail into your port. Allowing tools help provide proof and proof always conquers doubts and stops your dreams from being scuppered.

Until next time
