What are you expecting?

I was looking back at some of my old  Blog Posts, and it struck me that many of them covered things that I am currently addressing. The posts that struck me most, were about "Expectation".

“It’s your level of expectation that determines how effectively you create when deliberately creating using the LOA.”

This can be interpreted as, to create with The Law of Attraction you must have an expectation that you are going to receive your desires. If you hold visions of your desire but your expectation is low, as in, "Nothing good ever happens to me!", then  the possibility of success is very low.

Previously I have written about an idea I called the “Expectancy Scale”. It consists of a range of feelings that you might have about the likely hood of receiving you desires. The range is:

DEPRESSION; PESSIMISTIC; MELANCHOLY; AMBIVALENT; HOPEFUL; EXPECTANT; BELIEF.

The idea is that the further down the scale towards the Depression you are, the less likely that you are going to receive your desires. So by identifying where on the scale you are in relation to the feelings you hold about what you are deliberately creating, you can improve your chances of creating by moving your expectations up the scale.

I have found that if I search around for feelings I often find fear and doubt hidden in the turmoil of the goings on of life. They are not at the forefront of my experience but they are underlying everything, separating me from my desires. The thoughts we need to create our desires must generate feelings of joy and certainty. Hoping and wishing for outcomes will hold you from your desires. Feelings of high expectation and positivity will advance your desires.

These underlying feelings of fear and trepidation accurately describe my life for the last 50 years. If you live your life as though the sky is going to fall at any particular moment, then life is going to be a very bumpy ride!

I can tell you mine has been a very bumpy ride.

But now I am smoothing out the road by choosing better thoughts and am truly amazed at how much better life can be.

I wrote this over 2 years ago. Last week I have had a strong  feeling to revisit these ideas, because although I had made good progress, at this time, I am finding my understanding now is better.

Many people are drawn to harnessing The Law of Attraction in their lives and they work hard at keeping their desires as the dominant  thoughts they hold, but often they are disappointed that they are not able to create their desires. 

The whole key to successful manifestation is alignment. An alignment between your desires and the thoughts you hold about yourself and those desires. Our feelings indicate our level  of alignement. Feeling good! You're in alignment. Feeling bad. You're not in alignment.

Through our lives experience we develop a framework of expectations. It is catalogue of cause and effect. It is the lessons we have learnt about how life will treat us. This boils down to, "I do this........and this is likely to happen." This is expectation In it's crudest form. Expectation feeds into the Law of Attraction, because if life has regularly taught you don't happen and that life is generally a struggle and prosperity is hard to come by, then even though you may hold your desires at the forefront of your thoughts, it is the prism of these negative expectations that holds you from your desires. As the Law of Attraction returns "Like with like" a life filled with negative expectations will be perpetuated as the Law of Attraction matches expectations of poor outcomes with continuing poor experiences. So the key is, if you are to change your life experience you must change your expectations. If you are not expecting to receive a great deal of joy, then you won't receive it. Lack and struggle will continue to arrive.

With that it mind, the old blog talks of "The Expectancy Scale" a tool to help you change your expectations so that you can receive your desires. A key issue I have found is that there a great deal of subtlty in our feelings, to the point that we can hold an underlying feeling of struggle or lack and because it has been with us a long time, we don't recognise it as such. It's just the feeling that we have carried with ourselves for a long time. It has become a habit and therefore we don't recognise that it is actually holding us in the place that we don't want to be. We can break free from this place by moving our expectation  we can change our life experience.

As described earlier, the "Expectancy Scale" is a range of expectancies that we may hold in our lives about receiving our desires. By identifying where you are on the scale and knowing the feeling this brings, we can move our feelings along the scale by looking for the for the feeling a higher level of expectation would bring. So if we felt Melancholy about the likely hood of receiving our desires, we could think about our desires in terms of being Expectant in receiving our desires. Create an image of receiving your desire. Feel the joy of knowing you desire is about to arrive. Hold that feeling. Know that feeling, so that if and when the feelings of Melancholy and sadness threaten, we can again move to a better place. With persistence and practice we can change our habitual feeling to one which allow great things into our lives.

It is in interesting experiment to notice the feelings that you regularly feel when you are under pressure, having difficulty with others or experiencing lack of prosperity. Move to a better level of expectation in these circumstances and your life can only improve. By becoming familiar with you feelings we can then change our feelings by improving our expectancy and our therefore our life. Most of us travel through life with scant regard for what we actually feel. Life is dominated by a bombardment of stimuli, information, conflict and daily stress. True familiarity with your feelings requires some quiet time and reflection, but once mastered your feelings can your compass in life, directing you to good times and happiness.

 Sometimes our feelings can overwhelm us. Feelings don't hold substance and are not always a true reflection of what we are experiencing in life. They are often a learnt response to certain situations and experiences and as such if we can change we are expecting in a given situation, we can change our lives experiences. Change your expectation and change your life!
