Always be in the state of receiving, achieving and accepting. It is a wonderful state of mind to live in. It is the mind of the Higher Self where learning to work the Law of Attraction is only one aspect of the Higher Self. This higher version of you is seeking to emerge from under the negativity we often bury it with. It is called the Law of Emergence.

excerpt of article We are free to live when we make room for life
To begin to see your “wall” through different eyes:
- ** * Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ1. Remind yourself that you are enough.
It isn’t even necessary to be good enough. You are simply enough.
We might need to remind ourselves of this often. After all, that inner critic has had a lifetime to develop.
- ** * Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ2. Slow down and take notice of your self-talk.
What has your inner critic convinced you of? Explore this question with curiosity, not judgment or criticism.
When we can do this with non-judgmental curiosity, we are able to see with clarity and compassion. We can begin to identify those things we tell ourselves that just make us feel worse and don’t change anything anyway. We can reduce our suffering, even in a naturally painful situation.
- ** * Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ3. Reevaluate your expectations.
Have you made room for life? Do you have new information now that you didn’t have before? Are these expectations compatible with your priorities?
When we can make our expectations more fluid, we have the freedom to live in the present moment, and enjoy it. We are free to decide what our life is about, and we are free to change our minds about this at any time.
- ** * Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ4. Get at the underlying fear.
What are you really afraid of these “walls” revealing? Are these fears accurate?
Quite often, our fears take the form of “what if” and “what this says about me.” Even when there appears to be a kernel of truth behind the fear (after all, it was true that I hadn’t painted that wall), there is more to the story. The belief that we are unworthy, irresponsible, weak, unlovable impostors is simply a fear, not a fact.
- ** * Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ5. Consider how this “wall” might be described in your biography.
What is the whole story? How boring would the biography be if it were just about a wall?
Perhaps we are focused on the small, inconsequential details of life. Perhaps we take our lives for granted. Intentionally taking a step back and really looking is how we get to appreciate the fullness of life.
Although taking these steps requires the conscious effort to make a change, the result is far more rewarding than a newly painted wall could ever be.
