Are you being sabotaged by your future self? | 30-Day Challenge: Daily Practice [Day 22]
Think of your current desire as a pebble being thrown into a pond. It breaks through the surface of the water and sends out ripple after ripple after ripple. In the exercise from Day 14’s daily practice, you looked at the potential changes that might happen in your life when your current desire manifests as your present reality. Think of that exercise as looking at the ripple that is closest to the point where the pebble hit the water. The daily practice from Day 14 got you to look at the immediate changes and consequences that come with the realization of your most immediate desire.However, the blocks surrounding potential changes that could occur in the ripples further out from where the pebble hit the water might be holding you back from whole heartedly accepting and receiving you current desire.If analogies aren’t your thing, think of it this way. It’s possible that your current desire is linked to a desire that you are picturing happening later in your timeline. Let’s say that your future desire is kinda out of your comfort zone or you’re not quite sure whether you really want it or not. If this is the case, then somewhere inside your mind, the experience of manifesting and receiving your immediate desire is linked with manifesting this future desire. Thus, the blocks that you have around manifesting and experiencing this future desire are affecting the manifestation of your current desire. So what you have to do is:
- Take a journey down your timeline and become aware of your dream visions for your future. You can do this by simply asking yourself where you think you want to be in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or however many years. What are the future visions that you are holding as carrots on a stick for yourself?
- Repeat the exercise from Day 14, but this time do it with these future desires and dream visions. (if you haven't done this exercise with your current desire, do that, too!)
- Ask yourself if it’s ok to decide later whether you want to experience those future desires AND if it’s ok to receive this current desire, regardless of what you decide in the future.
Basically, becoming aware of your future desires and dream visions can help you to unblock your current situation. You can remove the blocks around those future desires, AND you can give yourself a break and remind yourself that you don’t have to make any choices about those future desires now. You are free to experience your current desire and then make choices about your future when the time comes!I’d love to tell you a story about when this has happened in my life, but honestly I can’t remember any! I know I have experienced this, but I cleared my blocks and discharged the emotional energy surrounding the situations so successfully, that I can’t recall when it happened! So email me (hit reply on any of the daily practice emails) and let me know if you can you see your future dream visions, and if you can feel how your resistance to your future desires is holding you back from manifesting your current desire.
