A message from the Universe is a sign, synchronicity, or deep inner knowing that comes from a higher power. You might call this higher power the Universe, God, Source Energy, or another name that resonates with you. Messages can often be signs of alignment, giving you reassurance to know that you’re on the right path. They may also be gentle nudges in a certain direction. And sometimes, they’re simply loving reminders that you’re not alone. When you’re experiencing struggle and hardship, a message from the Universe can be a source of comfort, letting you know that everything’s going to be okay.
Below, learn how to know if a message is from the Universe, what to do after you receive a message, and how to ask for a message when you’re feeling alone, discouraged, or just need a little extra reassurance. Plus, learn about 10 common signs from the Universe that you may experience in your daily life.

How To Know A Message Is From The Universe
It’s likely that you’re experiencing messages from the Universe every single day. It may not feel like it because you may not yet associate it as coming from a higher power. A profound reason for this is that often, your daily messages come in the form of your own inner knowing. And trusting your inner knowing can be hard, especially at first.
If you’re ever unsure if a message is truly from the Universe, you can ask yourself, “Does it feel like love?”
Because here’s the truth: every single message you receive from the Universe should feel like love.
You are your own biggest critic. You’re harder on yourself than anyone else could ever be. You may expect perfection from yourself, and because of your own heavy expectations, you think the Universe expects perfection from you, too. But it doesn’t.
The Universe has never had a single negative thought or feeling about you; the Universe knows only love.
So carry that with you as you learn how to decode messages from the Universe.
The Universe is not out to get you. You will never receive a message telling you that you’re not worthy or that you’re not good enough. If you hear an inner voice criticizing or judging you, it’s not the Universe; it’s your own insecurities and self-doubt. You might receive messages to have more patience or to stop holding on so tightly to experiences or things, but even these messages will feel like love. They’ll feel like they’re in your best interest. Sometimes, a message may reveal a difficult truth you’ve been suppressing within, but this is never done to hurt you. These messages are meant to help you move forward on your path and to help you grow.
Again, it all comes back to love. The foundation for all the messages you receive is love.
You might have a hard time trusting your intuition, but ask yourself: can you trust love?
Can you trust that if something feels like love, that means it’s right?

Common Signs & Messages From The Universe
Sometimes, the messages you receive will come in the form of your own intuition, and other times, it may be an object, symbol, or something you see or hear. Read below for 10 common messages you might receive in your daily life.
Numbers and Number Patterns
11:11. 333. 888.
Numbers and repeating number patterns are often the most common type of message you may experience, especially when you’re first starting out. (Besides your own intuition, which should never be discounted.) The reason for this is because we’re surrounded by numbers constantly: time, temperature, dates, step count, mileage, even the number of likes on an Instagram post. When you’re learning to receive messages from the Universe, it’s also a good way to train your mind to pick up on signs.
So what exactly do these numbers mean? Well, that depends. If the number or number pattern has a unique meaning to you, then trust your inner knowing to decode their meaning. If you’re not sure, that’s okay! Numbers hold spiritual meaning, so it may help to look up the meaning of the number pattern you keep seeing. If you want to learn more about angel numbers and the spiritual meaning of different number patterns, here’s a helpful guide from TheLawOfAttraction.com.
Objects
You’re at the store and a particular object speaks to you. Maybe a book falls off the shelf in front of you. Or you find something in a drawer at home that you haven’t seen in years. Objects can come in all different forms, such as a toy, letter, article of clothing, picture, piece of jewelry, or anything that holds meaning to you.
Dreams
Dreams are a powerful guide to your subconscious mind. Have you ever had a recurring dream? Or maybe a particularly vivid and intense dream? Maybe you don’t have recurring dreams, but you dream about the same people or experiences often. What are these dreams telling you?
Symbols
Feathers, trees, flowers, shapes, and mountains are just a few of symbols that might show up for you. For instance, if white roses have a special meaning for you, maybe seeing or receiving a white rose is a sign to remind you that you are always loved.
Synchronicities
A synchronicity is one of those perfect timing moments that feels like there’s no way it could just be a coincidence. Someone you haven’t talked to in years suddenly appears in your mind, and the next day, they call you out of nowhere. Or you decide to follow your heart and move to a new city, and instantly, someone from your past shows up to offer you a job in that city, even though they had no idea you were looking. When a synchronicity shows up in your life, listen. These are gentle nudges from the Universe letting you know you’re on the right path and guiding you toward your next step.
Songs & Song Lyrics
Songs can represent messages both in their lyrical meaning and in your personal relationship with the song. The lyrics of a song could speak to you, or it could simply be the song title that catches your eye. A particular song may also have a special place in your heart. Did a song come on the radio that makes you think of your first love? This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s time to call up your first love and give it another go. What it could be is a gentle reminder of a time in your life when your heart was open and unguarded. Maybe it’s time to open your heart again and let love in.
Animals
Does a certain animal show up for you in different places and times? It doesn’t have to be the actual physical presence of the animal; it could be a picture or a wood carving of the animal. The animal might also come to you in meditation. Your intuition may know exactly what the appearance of this animal means. If not, I encourage you to look up the spiritual meaning of this animal and see what resonates. This guide from SpiritAnimal.info offers some really great insight to help you get started.
Money & Coins
Finding money on the ground can be a message from the Universe that abundance is on its way. Instead of dismissing the next penny you see on the sidewalk as meaningless, say a quiet thank you to the Universe for this sign.
Social Media Posts
Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram when you read a post that feels like it was written just for you? Do you know those posts that resonate so deeply, you’re called to bookmark and re-read them over and over again? If the words cause all the cells in your body to light up, trust that power. Trust that those words are meant for you.
Your Own Intuition
I can’t emphasize this enough: don’t discount the power of your own intuition. Your intuition is that deep inner knowing pulling you in a certain direction, even if it doesn’t make logical sense. Trusting your intuition can be scary at first, but once you start leaning in, you’ll realize that the steps you’re taking aren’t random. The Universe is always working behind the scenes to take care of you, even when you don’t see it. And that deep inner knowing you feel is a message from the Universe telling you it’s time to take inspired action. Everything is set up for you perfectly; all you have to do is act. Will the path ahead look exactly as you had hoped? Maybe not. But if you trust it, you may just open yourself up to something even more beautiful and profound than you can even imagine.

What To Do After You Receive A Message
Your next steps will depend on what message you received.
If you received a gentle nudge to follow a certain path, walk forward in faith. It’s okay if you’re scared. When I received my nudge to quit my well-paying, full-time job to be a writer, I had zero prospects and no idea how I was going to make money. None. I was terrified, and I didn’t make the leap right away. It took me months to convince myself that I wasn’t making a huge mistake. But that pull inside was too strong to ignore. And now? I can tell you with gratitude and awe that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It wasn’t always easy, and it required A LOT of faith, but I couldn’t be more grateful for the courageous girl who made that first scary step into the life of her dreams.
Sometimes, your message won’t be to take action, though. Sometimes, it may be a message to have patience. Or it might be just a little reminder that you’re not alone. In these moments, simply expressing gratitude is enough. You might even imagine a blanket of inner peace washing over you. Let this message be a loving reminder that all is well and you’re going to be okay.

How To Ask For Messages From The Universe
If you’ve been looking for a message from the Universe and not receiving anything, that’s okay. This is actually completely normal. As frustrating as it sounds, the old adage is true: that thing you’ve been looking for usually comes when you stop looking. In the spiritual world, that means to surrender, let go, and trust.
You can also ask the Universe for a sign in any moment when you’re feeling anxious, worried, or just need a loving reminder that you’re not alone. This may feel a little weird at first, but it gets more comfortable with time. You may think, “If I’m supposed to have faith, does asking for a sign show a lack of faith?” When you have these kinds of doubts and uncertainties (and these types of questions will often arise in your spiritual journey), I want you to come back to this truth:
The Universe is never judging you. The Universe is never criticizing you. The Universe is only ever loving you.
The Universe will never say, “This person asked me for a sign, so they must not trust me.” Never. Every single one of those feelings and doubts comes from within. This is why it’s so easy to self-sabotage when you’re on this spiritual path: because you experience negative thoughts about yourself and assume that’s what the Universe must think of you, too.
So I want you to come back to this time and time again: The Universe is only ever loving me. The Universe is only ever loving me. The Universe is only ever loving me.
You can absolutely ask the Universe for a sign, and in this article, I explain how.
Here are two major points to remember when asking the Universe for a sign:
- Sometimes, the sign will come pretty quickly. Other times, it may not. Have patience. If the Universe doesn’t respond right away, don’t assume you won’t get your message. I’m going to come back to that sometimes frustrating statement: it’ll come when you’re not looking.
- And if you don’t receive the answer you were hoping for? From my experience, every single time I didn’t get what I wanted, it’s because something even better was coming. Every. Single. Time.

Pin this for later! Law of Attraction Scripting Template (Free PDF Template) What Is Scripting?
Whether you’re new to the Law of Attraction or an experienced manifestor, scripting is a worthwhile practice to help lift your vibrations, elevate your emotions, and align you with the frequency of your dreams and desires. It’s also a beneficial practice to help you set intentions and get clear about what exactly you want to manifest.
So what exactly is scripting?
Scripting is a combination of visualization and journaling. In this practice, you write about your dreams and desires in story-like form, as if you already possess everything you want to manifest. For instance, let’s say you want to manifest your dream job. When you sit down to script, you’d write about your day as if you have your dream job right now, in the present moment. Here are just a few ways you could approach this:
- You could write about receiving the phone call offering you your dream job as if it just happened or is happening right now.
- You could also write about your perfect first day on the dream job.
- Or you could even write as if you’ve been working in this dream job for a while now, and you’re absolutely loving it.
The key here is to write as if you’re already living your dreams and desires right now in this present moment. You’ve made it. You have everything you can dream of and more. There is no more waiting; it’s all here for you, and all you have to do is reach out and grab it.
Below, learn more about the benefits of scripting, plus get tips and prompts to help you get started today. And be sure to download your free Law of Attraction scripting template. In this template, I take you through the different components that should be added to your script. After you complete the forms in this template a few times, you’ll have all the tools you need to complete your own powerful scripts.

Benefits Of Scripting
So why exactly should you add scripting to your manifestation practice? Here are the key benefits of scripting:
- Aligns your frequency with your desires: In scripting, you don’t simply write the words down and leave them there; you allow yourself to feel all of the positive emotions of having your dreams in the present moment. When you do this, you get on the same wavelength of your desires, which attracts more positive things, people, and experiences to flow into your life.
- Raises your vibration: It feels good to feel good. By raising your vibrations, you’re inviting more good-feeling vibes into your inner and outer worlds.
- Helps you set intentions: One of the first steps in manifestation is to get clear about what you want. Scripting your dream life allows you to figure out exactly what you want in full detail.
- Engages your sacral and third eye chakras: How often do you get to engage in creative practices? How often do you use your imagination in your daily life? Through scripting, you get to let your inner creative being shine, allowing you to engage with your energy centers for creativity (sacral) and imagination (third eye). In many ways, scripting can engage all of your chakras, as it allows you to feel safe, strong, confident, loved, and abundant. When your chakras are open and energy is flowing through you with ease, you’re in closest alignment with your highest, most authentic self.
- Builds confidence: One of the biggest barriers to manifesting your dreams is your own self-doubt. When you script, you not only increase your own positive emotions, but you lift your confidence and show your mind that you can do it. This is why elite athletes often practice visualization exercises repeatedly before a big game or event. By the time the event actually comes, they’ve done it so many times in their minds, they feel confident in their abilities and know they can perform at the highest level.
Tips For Scripting
- Use your five senses: To fully immerse yourself in your script, write about the experience using all of your senses. What do you see, feel, smell, touch, and taste? If you want to manifest a new car, you could write pages simply detailing how it feels to sit in and drive this car using all of your senses.
- Use only past and present tense: Write about each experience as if it’s happening right now (or just happened). For instance, if you’re scripting a day in your dream life, you could imagine it’s the end of the day and you’re journaling about everything that happened that day. Or you could write as though you’re walking through this day right now. The key is to feel as if this experience belongs to you now, not in an intangible future.
- Express gratitude: When you express gratitude, you’re essentially telling the Universe, “More of this please.” More love. More joy. More freedom. More abundance. In your script, frequently express gratitude for this incredible life you get to live.
- Don’t just write; feel: I alluded to this above, but it can’t be emphasized enough. The key to making scripting work is to feel all of the positive emotions of having your dreams and desires right now. Let these feelings light up every cell of your being. And when you’re done, continue to carry them with you throughout your day.

Selenite Wand: Meaning, Benefits, And How-To
Below, discover the powerful benefits of using a selenite wand to cleanse and protect your energy and connect you to your highest, most authentic self. Plus get tips for using a selenite wand to heal your chakras and protect your sacred space.
Pin this for later! Selenite Wand: Meaning, Benefits, And How-To Selenite Wand Meaning & Benefits
If you’re new to collecting and using crystals, a selenite wand is one of the first pieces you’ll want to acquire, as it’ll likely become the foundation and centerpiece of your collection for years to come. (And there’s also a good chance that you’ll end up with more than one!)
So what makes selenite so important?
Selenite is unique in its properties and abilities, as it can cleanse the energy of people, spaces, and even other crystals. But that’s not all: in addition to clearing unwanted energy, it can also replace this energy with something more uplifting and positive.
Selenite is also a protection stone, but it has a softer, gentler energy than common protection stones suck as Black Tourmaline and Obsidian. It will help you to release anxiety and negative emotions that aren’t serving your highest purpose and fill your spirit with light, compassion, and love.
Additionally, selenite is a deeply spiritual stone. It will help you to unblock energy that’s stopping you from reaching your highest potential. It will also connect you with your inner light and the light of the Universe, allowing you to remain spiritually open and connected to the divine. Using a selenite wand can help you to become more receptive to the signs, synchronicities, and messages of the Universe.
At its foundation, these are the meanings most intrinsically tied to the selenite wand:
- Light
- Clarity
- Focus
- Consciousness
- Protection
- Harmony
- Serenity
- Deep Peace
- Positive Energy
- Soul Healing
- Divinity
For more details on how to use crystals to protect your energy, manifest your dreams, and help you heal from within, check out my post, How to Use Crystals: Grids, Pendulums & More.
Selenite Wand & Chakra Healing
Because of its power, selenite can actually be used to heal all of your life force energy. That means selenite will work with all of your chakras in healing stagnant energy and clearing up any blockages within.
However, it’s most often associated with your highest chakras, namely your crown chakra and third eye chakra.
Your crown chakra is located at the crown of your head, and it’s your energy center for spirituality, enlightenment, peace, trust, transcendence, and connection to a higher power. Your third eye chakra, located between your eyebrows, is your body’s energy center for intuition, imagination, insight, open-mindedness, and mental strength. When these two chakras are balanced, you’re in highest alignment with your most divine self: the unchanging, infinite part of you that’s untouched by human experiences – the part of you that remembers your power to create, to love, and to live a life of pure bliss.
To use a selenite wand to balance your internal energy and heal your chakras, place it on the physical location of the energy center you want to clear in silent meditation. You can also clear your energy by hovering the selenite wand a couple inches over your body and sweeping it over your skin from top to bottom (kind of like you’re brushing your hair). You can read more about how to use a selenite wand to clear your energy below.

How To Use A Selenite Wand
Meditation
Meditation itself is a profound practice for releasing negative energy, inviting light into your body, and connecting your mind, body, and spirit as one. Selenite can deepen your meditations and amplify these effects even further. You can also use a selenite wand (or multiple wands) in your meditations when you’re feeling dull, negative, or stagnant energy within. Additionally, some people find that using selenite wands regularly in their meditation practice helps them sink into their meditations quicker. (Me included.)
If you have two selenite wands, you can hold one in each hand as you meditate. This allows you to invite light and restore balance into both sides of your body. If you have one selenite wand, hold it within both of your palms clasped together. You can also set it on your chest if you’re laying down.
Clear Your Energy
Every day, you’re picking up energy from all around you. Sometimes, you’re able to let this energy flow to and through you with ease, and other times, you might need a little extra help. When you aren’t able to spend time recharging under the sun or sitting beneath the moon, selenite can act in place of these light sources. It not only helps you clear up any negative or dark energy within, but it’ll replace it with a higher vibrations and overall more positive feelings.
And as I mentioned above, it can also clear up any stagnant energy blocking your chakras, helping you to find alignment with your highest, most authentic self: the real and true you.
One way to use a selenite wand to clear your energy is to rest it on your chest while you’re laying down. You can do this in meditation or simply in quiet stillness.
You can also sweep it over you from your head to your toes, keeping the wand just a couple inches over your body. You might also find it helpful to keep a piece of selenite nearby or wear it as jewelry on days you’re needing an extra pick-me-up. (Be careful when you wear selenite as jewelry, though, as it’s very soft and can get damaged more easily than harder stones.) You can also keep a piece of selenite in your purse or pocket to carry this positive, cleansing, and protective energy with you throughout the day.
Cleanse Your Space
Just like selenite can clear your own energy, it can also cleanse the energy of the space you’re in and replace it with lighter, more positive energy. Because of this, you might find it helpful to have multiple selenite wands that you can keep in various places around your house and workspace. Your office, bedroom, car, and main living space are all ideal places to keep a selenite wand. It can also be good practice to travel with a selenite wand to clear and protect the energy of the place you’re staying in.
*Tip: For even deeper cleansing and energy protection, you can place a selenite wand at all four corners of a room. You might do this when you’re traveling or in any room that can often get weighed down in heavy, dull, or negative energy.
Crystal Cleansing
One major reason to add selenite to your crystal collection is that it has the ability to cleanse other crystals. If it’s been a while since you’ve cleansed one of your crystals, or if you’re feeling some dull or negative energy coming from one of your stones, set it next to a piece of selenite for 24 hours (with their sides touching). You can also set crystals and gemstones on a selenite plate like this one. If you keep your crystals in one area, try to put your selenite wand near the center. It can be helpful to have a selenite wand devoted solely to cleansing and replacing the energy of your other crystals and gemstones.
How To Cleanse A Selenite Wand
So if selenite can cleanse other crystals, what cleanses the selenite?
Selenite is different from most other crystals in that it can be self-cleansing. This means you don’t have to do very much to keep its energy clear. However, it still pays to show it a little extra love every once in a while. You can charge it under the moon for a night, and when you do want to cleanse its energy, immerse it in some cleansing sage. It’s usually recommended to keep your selenite away from water, though, as this soft crystal can dissolve when it gets wet.

Pin this for later! 35 Law of Attraction Affirmations to Manifest Your Dreams What Is A Law Of Attraction Affirmation?
A Law of Attraction affirmation is an empowering statement that affirms your ability to create anything you want in this life. Generally, a Law of Attraction affirmation will allow you to feel strong, powerful, and capable. Most Law of Attraction affirmations will remind you of your limitless capacity to create your future while also lifting your vibrations so that they align with your desired manifestations.
Law of Attraction affirmations are powerful tools for manifesting your desires and stepping into the life that aligns with the dreams that have been placed in your heart. (And I promise, every dream has been placed in your heart for a reason. None of your desires are by accident. None.)
Keep reading to learn about the different types of Law of Attraction affirmations and how to use affirmations to get the most out of them. Plus get 35 powerful Law of Attraction affirmations to manifest the life you truly dream of living.
Types Of Law Of Attraction Affirmations
For the Law of Attraction affirmations in this post, I’ve divided them into two categories: mindset affirmations and future pacing affirmations. Most of the affirmations you’ll find here are mindset affirmations, but incorporating future pacing affirmations into your daily life is definitely a worthwhile practice when it comes to lifting your vibrations and aligning you with the positive emotions of your dreams and desires.
Mindset affirmations are the type of affirmations you use to uplift, empower, affirm your worthiness. These affirmations are the type that help you to cultivate an overall mindset of positivity.
Here are a few examples of mindset affirmations:
- I am worthy.
- I am powerful.
- I am enough.
- I am strong in mind, body, and spirit.
- I have the courage and confidence to achieve my dreams.
- I am bold, brave, and brilliant.
Future pacing affirmations are a little different than these typical mindset affirmations. When using these types of affirmations, you’re asserting that your desired manifestation has already come true.
Here are a few examples of future pacing affirmations:
- I am a successful writer with millions of fans who love to read my work.
- I am in a beautiful, loving relationship with a partner who truly loves me for me.
- I am a successful health coach making a positive difference in the lives of others. Clients are lining up to work with me!
To amplify your manifestations, use a combination of mindset affirmations and future pacing affirmations that will uplift, empower, and allow you to truly feel as though all of your dreams and desires exist in this moment right now.
Manifestation Workbook & Printables
Looking for help to get you started with manifesting your dreams? I’ve created several resources that incorporate powerful exercises and practices to manifest the life your heart truly desires.
The Dreams, Goals & Manifestation Printables are a PDF file filled with 153 content pages that are completely dedicated to helping you manifest your dream life. While you can use this as a workbook, it’s more of a combination between a workbook and a yearly planner in which you get to control the order of the pages and how you want it to look. With these printables, you’ll find multiple calendars, worksheet pages, and goal-setting tools that you can use over and over again, not just month after month but year after year.
For a smaller version of these printables in workbook format, check out The Ultimate Manifestation Workbook.
How To Use These Affirmations
- Feel the emotions of the affirmation. Before anything else, an affirmation starts in the body. And beyond the actual words, affirmations are feelings and emotions. So if you say, I am worthy, you would truly feel a sense of undeniable worthiness in your being. And if you say, I possess unlimited power, then allow yourself to feel your limitless power flowing inside you.
- Recite your affirmations throughout the day. This includes as you wake up in the morning, as you get ready for work, when you’re driving in the car, when you’re working out, and any other time you think it will benefit you. It may seem like a lot of work at first to consciously remind yourself to repeat these affirmations, but in time, you’ll no longer have to remind yourself because the positive words will be ingrained within you.
- Practice mirror work. Stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and affirm your ability to create the life you desire. Tell yourself that you’re a powerful manifestor. Every time you look in the mirror, practice feeling all the positive emotions of having your desires in the present moment.
- Leave notes for yourself. Notes can be in the form of post-its or even a notification that pops up on your phone. Fill these notes with powerful Law of Attraction affirmations. Every time you find one of your notes, feel all the positive emotions of the words inside your body.
- And finally, recognize any limiting beliefs that may be stopping you from believing your affirmation. If there’s something stopping you from truly getting onboard with the words you’re wanting to affirm, don’t suppress these emotions. In this post, I talk more about limiting beliefs and how to release them.

What is the Art of Allowing? (A Complete Guide)
In this post, discover the meaning of the Art of Allowing, plus get tips and journal prompts to help you surrender your worries and trust the Universe to guide you in the direction of your dreams and desires.
Pin this for later! What is the Art of Allowing? (A Complete Guide) What is the Art of Allowing?
The Art of Allowing is a key component in manifestation, which is the practice of visualizing your dreams and desires and vibrating at the frequency of your desires as if they’ve already come true. By becoming the embodiment of all your deepest desires, you attract more of this positive energy to you. (For instance, when you allow yourself to feel truly loved and cherished right now, you attract even more love into your life.)
Generally, when you read or listen to someone speak about manifestation, it’s in a very active sense. The word “manifest” itself is an action word. It seems to require continually doing. You visualize your desires, set an intention, listen to your intuition, take inspired action, and continually cultivate more and more self-belief.
But this only tells half the story. Manifestation isn’t only about doing; it’s also about being.
Or, rather, allowing.
According to Abraham Hicks, the Art of Allowing is “the conscious, gentle guiding of your thoughts in the general direction of the things that you desire.”
To demonstrate this, imagine that you’re on a boat floating down a river. When you’re effortlessly floating downstream, you’re moving in the flow of all your dreams and desires. You might set aside your paddles, lay down, and let the Universe carry you, trusting that it’s taking you exactly where you want to go.
It seems simple enough, but often, we do the exact opposite: we pick up the oars and start furiously trying to paddle upstream, convinced we know the right path. Not only does this take us in the opposite direction of our desires, but it causes us to exert a lot more energy (and most of it isn’t positive).
The Art of Allowing is the practice of moving in flow with the Universe. It’s understanding that manifestation and the Law of Attraction isn’t 100% doing all the time. When you’re in alignment with the universal flow, you realize that your most important work of all is to feel good. You’re able to let go of control and surrender your path to the Universe. You focus on cultivating such a beautiful world within, your positive energy spreads outside of you.
This is the Art of Allowing: to let the positive energy of all your dreams and desires become the center of your world. You leave the when, what, where, and how to the Universe and focus solely on cultivating positive thoughts and positive emotions that support your entire well-being.
When you’re able to do this consistently each day, something kind of magical will begin to unfold in your outer world.
Want to learn how to practice the Art of Allowing? Keep reading to learn how to know if you’re moving with the flow of the Universe and how to cultivate a mindset of allowing.

How to Know If You’re Allowing
Have you ever had a moment where you feel really good about the path you’re on but then inner worries start to kick in? Maybe you think it’s too good to be true. Or maybe you start to think that you’re not truly worthy of your dreams. Many of us unintentionally self-sabotage, believing that it’s just not possible for good things to happen to us.
Something has to go wrong, right?
I’ve experienced this many times in my own journey. I’ll experience success and feel really good about my success . . . and then soon after, my inner worries and insecurities start to kick in. Here are some common thoughts I’ve had when this happens:
- Am I really worthy of all these good things?
- Something bad has to happen, right?
- I shouldn’t be so confident. As soon as I’m too confident, the Universe will knock me back down again.
Have you ever had these types of thoughts? These negative thoughts are essentially our way of sabotaging ourselves from allowing more good things to flow in.
It’s not just our own internal fears and limiting beliefs that stop us from allowing, though. When we let external situations influence our internal worlds, we also block ourselves from receiving what we desire.
For instance, someone cuts you off in traffic. Or someone is rude to you at the grocery store. Maybe your boss was a jerk today or your partner’s bad mood has started to affect your own.
When you let these external situations stir up negative feelings such as anger and frustration within, you’re only causing yourself to suffer in the long run. Your power lies in your ability to experience a range of negative external situations but to not let them influence your own emotional state.
How to Practice the Art of Allowing
In theory, it seems like practicing the Art of Allowing should be really easy. It simply requires you to allow in the things you really want in your life. And to do that, the first step is to feel all of the things you already want to feel in your life: joyful, peaceful, free, abundant, loved.
All of it sounds simple enough.
But the truth is, this practice isn’t always easy. Especially not at first. There’s a good chance that you have decades of lived experience that directly counteracts the Art of Allowing.
So that’s why I want to start with this:
If you notice yourself having trouble releasing your worries and simply allowing, don’t criticize yourself. Don’t judge or condemn yourself.
One affirmation that I really like in these moments is, “I’m doing the best I can, and my best is enough.”
To help make the Art of Allowing a little easier, here are some practices you can utilize in your daily life:
Connect With Your Inner Self
The first step to practicing the Art of Allowing is to understand your own relationship with allowing in your daily life. Do you easily allow things in, or do you always have to be in control of every situation? Do you trust the Universe to support you? How much time do you spend doing versus time spent being?
Once you understand your own relationship with allowing, you’re better able to begin surrendering control. While you can internally reflect upon the questions I posed above, I always find journaling to be a profound practice when I need to connect with my deepest self. To start, find a quiet spot where you won’t be interrupted. See if you can dedicate at least 15 to 20 minutes to this practice. As you journal, enact a “no self-criticism” rule. This means that even if uncomfortable truths arise, you don’t judge yourself for what you uncover.
Rather, acknowledge your truths with love and compassion. Remember that this journey of personal growth isn’t easy, and give yourself some credit for the courage it takes to go on this journey. If you’re not happy with the way you’ve reacted to situations in the past, you can recognize this while also asserting that you’re ready to start telling a new story now.
Below, you’ll find some journal prompts to help you uncover your own relationship with the Art of Allowing.
Journal Prompts for the Art of Allowing
- Do I trust my path or do I have a hard time releasing control? What makes this hard or easy for me?
- What does it mean to me to surrender to a higher power? Is this easy or hard for me?
- What are three ways I can practice surrendering in my daily life?
- What evidence do I see in my life that the Universe is always looking out for me? What are some visible and non-visible signs of the Universe’s love?
- How can I use this evidence to cultivate more trust and allowing?
- When it comes to my big goals and dreams, how much time do I spend doing? How much do I practice simply allowing?
- What does allowing mean to me?
- How does allowing feel to me?
- Describe a day as your highest, most authentic self walking through life simply allowing. What does this day look like?
Use Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are present-tense statements that are designed to uplift and encourage while boosting self-belief and supporting your overall well-being. Most positive affirmations support the practice of allowing, as they help to align you with the feel-good state of your dreams and desires. Depending on the situation, you can use specific affirmations that will help you in the moment. For instance, if you’re experiencing anxiety, you can repeat some gentle affirmations for anxiety.
To learn more about how to use positive affirmations to get the most out of them, I encourage you to read my blog post, How to Use Affirmations (So They Actually Work).
Below, I’ve linked to a few blog posts that will help to lift your vibrations and align you with the feelings of faith, joy, and inner peace:

- 40 Gratitude Affirmations to Love This Moment Right Now
- 35 Beautiful Affirmations for Peace and Serenity

Meditate
Whenever you feel misaligned, meditation is a powerful practice for gently guiding you back home to yourself. It allows you to let go, surrender control, and open yourself up to receive whatever is for your highest good. Meditation is truly the ultimate practice for being and allowing.
Consider this quote from Abraham Hicks:
- “By deliberately focusing upon good-feeling thoughts, you allow your physical cells to return to their natural balance. Breathing deeply is the key, softly hearing our words and allowing gentle alignment with the Energy of your Source.”
And this one:
- “There is no better way of stopping the momentum of something unwanted, and to allow the momentum of something wanted, than to meditate – other than getting a full night’s sleep.”
If you’re new to meditating, Mindful has a great meditation guide for beginners. I also encourage you to check out the InsightTimer app, which is my personal go-to app for meditation.
Align With Your Highest Self
Your highest self is your essential self; it’s the eternal part of you that’s untouched by human experiences. This is the truest, most authentic part of you.
When you think about the Art of Allowing, consider how your highest self would respond to various situations. How does your highest self approach your goals and dreams? Does your highest self trust your path? How does your highest self respond in the face of not knowing what’s going to happen next?
It takes practice, but intentionally choosing to align with your highest self is one of the most powerful practices you can do to allow your deepest desires to manifest in your life. (And if you stray from your highest self? That’s okay. Don’t criticize or judge yourself. Respond with love and compassion, and remember that in every moment, you have the opportunity to realign with the true you.)
Below are some questions to consider when thinking about your highest self. You can answer these questions internally or reflect upon them in your journal.
- Who is my highest self? How do I align with my highest self in my daily life?
- Is my highest self able to trust, allow, and just be?
- How does my highest self approach each day? How does my highest self react to negative energy? How does my highest self walk through life?
- Do I regularly consult with my highest self when responding to situations and making decisions? If not, how can I begin to include my highest self in my life’s journey?
- When I’m aligned with my highest self, how do I feel?
Abraham Hicks Quotes on the Art of Allowing
- “The Art of Allowing, is wanting so much to feel good, that whether you are perusing the past or the present, or the future, you’re deliberately looking for the best-feeling thought that you can find.”
- “The Art of Allowing says, ‘I’ve created it. It’s coming to me. It wants me. I want it. I will find a path to allow it. And the path of allowing what I want is the path of happiness, and joy, and feeling good.'”
- “No matter what it is, if you really want it, and if you get out of the way of it, it will happen. It must be. It is Law. It can be no other way. It’s the way this Universe is established. If you want it and you relax, it will happen.”
- “The Art of Allowing is caring so much about how I feel that I am unwilling to go to those uncomfortable places like: defending, justifying, rationalizing or trying to figure out why.”
One Final Note
One last aspect about the Art of Allowing that’s important to mention is that this practice also means allowing others to live their lives without trying to control them. You may think you know the best path for them, but you can’t force anything on another person. They must discover their own path, which may be drastically different from what you want for them.
You can be a beacon of love and compassion. You can be a guiding light when they ask for advice. You can be a positive example of what it means to walk your own path in love and faith.
But you can’t push them in a certain direction.
The Art of Allowing means giving others the freedom to follow their own inner knowing, learn from their own experiences, and grow at their own pace.
And truly, when you’re aligned with the flow of the Universe, you won’t want this anyway. Once you fully allow, there is no need to control. You’ll be able to let go and trust that the Universe is taking care of the highest good for yourself and others.

Pin this for later! 33 Journal Prompts for Goal Setting & Future Planning Setting Goals
Most of us have short-term and long-term goals for our lives. These goals might include positive career movement, financial success, living in the place you’ve always dreamed of, and/or building healthy personal relationships.
But how often do you take the time to write your goals down? It’s easy to lose sight of your goals in the midst of your daily life. When dealing with external demands, thinking about your long-term goals sometimes seems less urgent.
But it shouldn’t be.
Your goals matter. Every dream, desire, passion, and objective that’s been placed inside you has been put there for a reason. And you owe it to yourself to follow it as far as it will take you.
Below, you’ll find 33 journal prompts for goal setting and future planning. I’ve also included some tips on how to use these journal prompts as well as resources throughout the article to help you with achieving your goals. Let these journal prompts and resources guide you in creating a life that fulfills your heart and supports your mind, body, and spirit.
Manifestation Workbook & Printables
Looking for help to get you started with reaching your goals? I’ve created several resources that include goal-setting activities and powerful manifestation exercises.
The Dreams, Goals & Manifestation Printables are a PDF file filled with 153 content pages that are completely dedicated to helping you manifest your dream life. While you can use this as a workbook, it’s more of a combination between a workbook and a yearly planner in which you get to control the order of the pages and how you want it to look. With these printables, you’ll find multiple calendars, worksheet pages, and goal-setting tools that you can use over and over again, not just month after month but year after year.
For a smaller version of these printables in workbook format, check out The Ultimate Manifestation Workbook.
How to Use These Journal Prompts
- To start, find a quiet spot where you won’t be interrupted. Allow yourself to truly connect with your inner self. It doesn’t matter if it’s morning, afternoon, or evening; what matters is that you’re able to devote this time to you. See if you can dedicate at least ten to twenty minutes solely to journaling.
- You can answer just one question at a time or several in a single journaling session. It will just depend on the type of question and what kinds of answers it reveals within. (Just don’t rush it!)
- If you find yourself straying from the question a little, that’s okay. You might be on the verge of discovering something within yourself you hadn’t realized before.
- Finally, enact a “no self-criticism” rule while you’re journaling. Let’s say that as you write, you realize that you haven’t been making any positive movement toward your goals in the past six months. Don’t judge yourself here. Instead, choose to show yourself compassion, and acknowledge the fact that you’re making progress now.

50 Affirmations for Social Anxiety & Fear of Social Events
Below, you’ll find 50 calming affirmations for social anxiety and fear of social events. Repeat these affirmations before and during social events to help you walk through all social situations with dignity, strength, and grace.
Pin this for later! 50 Affirmations for Social Anxiety & Fear of Social Events What is Social Anxiety?
My social anxiety started in elementary school, before I knew what anxiety was or why I felt these uncomfortable feelings within. All I knew was that I felt different from other kids.
While other kids cheered for lunch and recess, those were my two least favorite parts of the school day.
Why?
Because I couldn’t hide behind schoolwork or a book. I had to actually be present with the other kids; I had to be seen.
And this absolutely terrified me.
Have you ever experienced these kinds of feelings?
Social anxiety is an extreme fear of social situations. You might experience a fear of being judged by others or worry that you’ll be humiliated. You may be afraid of saying the wrong thing, or that you won’t know what to say at all. This fear can often be all-consuming, leading you to feel anxious for days leading up to a social event.
One of your greatest tools when you experience social anxiety is self-compassion.
Self-compassion allows you to see your anxiety in a loving light. Instead of criticizing yourself for having these thoughts and feelings, you’re able to send love to your anxiety. Self-compassion is understanding that nothing about you is wrong; nothing about you is a mistake.
Even when you experience fear and anxiety, you are still worthy, whole, and complete.
Below are 50 calming affirmations for social anxiety. Use these affirmations before and during a social event to help you remain grounded, centered, stable, and secure. These affirmations are meant to give you courage and strength as you walk into a social situation, knowing you are courageous, strong, and more than enough.
At the bottom of this post, I’ve linked to a few resources for anyone experiencing chronic, overwhelming social anxiety.
And here are a few more posts filled with tools to help you with anxiety:

A manifestation challenge is a challenge set for a specific amount of time that’s dedicated to helping you manifest anything you want in your life. Often, a manifestation challenge will last for 7, 14, or 30 days.
In most manifestation challenges, you’ll find a variety of activities dedicated to helping you release limiting beliefs, raise your vibrations, and align you with the feelings of already having everything you desire.
Below, you’ll learn about the benefits of participating in a manifestation challenge as well as the common components of a manifestation challenge. And don’t forget to download your free 30-day manifestation challenge to start creating the life of your dreams today!
What is Manifestation?
To manifest something means to visualize your dreams and desires and to vibrate at the frequency of your desires as if they’ve already come true. So if you want to attract abundance, become the embodiment of abundance right now. If you want to attract love, allow yourself to feel loved now. Like attracts like, so when you choose to feel these positive emotions throughout your day, you’ll attract more of this to you. To learn more about manifestation, check out my introductory guide here.
Benefits of a Manifestation Challenge
Why participate in a manifestation challenge? Here are just a few of the benefits:

And the best part is that when the challenge is over, you can continue to keep doing the activities in the challenge whenever you want!
- It’s easy to let daily stresses distract you from your dreams. By participating in a manifestation challenge, you have specific daily goals that will help you stay focused on what you desire.
- A manifestation challenge gives you something to look forward to every day. You can wake up excited about the day ahead because you know that everything you do today will lead you to an even better future.
- If you’re doing a manifestation challenge in a group, you’ll have a team of people who will support you, lift you up, and cheer you on along the way. Instant vibration raiser. (If you’re doing a solo challenge, like the free challenge you can download below, send the link to a few of your friends and see if they want to join!)
- And one of the most unexpected benefits of a manifestation challenge? You’ll learn about yourself along the way. Not only will you uncover any limiting beliefs you possess, but you’ll discover that you have the strength to rise above your deepest fears. You’ll realize that you are so much more powerful than you had ever realized. And you’ll uncover your inner magic. It’s always been there. Now it’s time to tap in.
Common Components of a Manifestation Challenge
Visualization
Often, a manifestation challenge will include some kind of visualization element. It may instruct you to visualize a day in your dream life or to visualize the moment all your dreams come true. A visualization exercise is powerful because it not only allows you to set an intention for what you want to manifest, but it also lifts your vibrations.
The key to a successful visualization practice? Don’t just see the details play out in your mind; allow yourself to feel all the high-vibe emotions of having your desires right now. When you do this, you directly connect yourself to the experience of having the thing(s) you desire, becoming a magnet for your dreams to manifest in your reality.
Fun Fact
Did you know your brain can’t actually tell the difference between the powerful visualization and reality? It has the same activity whether you’re physically doing the action or envisioning it in your mind. That’s why elite athletes and performers often commit hours solely to visualization. To illustrate the power of visualization, watch this Tedx talk by Ashanti Johnson on how her daily practice of visualization changed not only her life but ultimately the lives of her community through her work.
Gratitude
Gratitude is the highest vibration you can offer. Instead of focusing on what’s going wrong, it allows you to focus on what’s going right. Another instant vibration booster! In a manifestation challenge, you can practice gratitude by writing down what you’re grateful for and noticing things to feel thankful for throughout your day.
Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are present-tense statements that are designed to uplift and encourage while boosting self-belief and supporting your overall wellbeing. I am worthy is an example of a positive affirmation. So is, I have what it takes to succeed. There are truly an infinite amount of positive affirmations you can use to support your manifestations. In a manifestation challenge, use positive affirmations to lift your vibrations. They’ll also remind you of your inner power to create anything you want in this life.
Empowering Affirmations
Looking for positive affirmations? I’ve got you covered!
Scripting
Scripting is the act of writing your dreams and desires in a story-like form. It’s similar to visualization, except instead of solely envisioning your dreams in your mind’s eye, you’re using pen and paper to write down what exactly it is that you want to manifest. The key to making scripting work is to treat it like you’re writing a story that’s already come true. Write only in past and present tense, as if every single one of your dreams is happening or has already happened.

Limiting Beliefs
A limiting belief is a deep-seated belief that holds you back from realizing your true potential and living the life of your dreams. In a manifestation challenge, there will often be at least one day dedicated to releasing limiting beliefs. So what exactly should you do?
I like to make two columns on a piece of paper. For the heading of the first column, I write, “Limiting Beliefs I’m Releasing.” Under this column, I write down all the limiting beliefs that are holding me back. At the top of the next column, I write “New Reframed Belief.” Here, I take all the limiting beliefs I just wrote and turn them on their head.
So if I wrote, “I’m not talented enough,” in the first column, then in the second column, I’d write, “I am absolutely talented enough. I have what it takes to thrive. I’m more than enough.” (As you can see, I like to get descriptive in the second column!)
Highest Self
Your highest self is your essential self; it’s the eternal part of you that’s untouched by human experiences. This is the truest, most authentic part of you.
In a manifestation challenge, you may receive directions to align with your highest self.
To do this, first spend some time thinking about your highest self. Who is your truest, most authentic self? It might help to write down everything that comes to mind.
Then, spend the day aligning with your highest self. In any situation, you can ask yourself, what would my highest self do? How would my highest self react? What choice would my highest self make? Would my highest self be critical or compassionate? Would my highest self worry about the future or trust that everything will work out?
Whenever you feel misaligned, simply choose to realign with your highest self, over and over again if needed.

40 Positive Affirmations for Insecurity and Self-Doubt
Below, discover 40 positive affirmations for insecurity and self-doubt. Let these gentle and empowering affirmations lift your spirits and remind you that in every situation, you are always worthy, no matter what.
Pin this for later! 40 Positive Affirmations for Insecurity and Self-Doubt Updated December 3rd, 2021
Understanding Your Insecurities
Body insecurities. Relationship insecurities. Career insecurities. Insecurities about how you’re perceived in social situations. Insecurities about your own talents and abilities.
These are just a few of the insecurities you may experience in your daily life.
Overcoming your insecurities isn’t about suppressing them or pretending they don’t exist. Rather, it’s about going within and gently probing your insecurities and self-doubt with loving awareness. Where do these insecurities stem from? What past experiences led you to having these thoughts and feelings?
And the greatest question of all: are they true?
Because that’s your greatest weapon of all in the fight against your insecurities: the ability to recognize that not all of your thoughts and fears about yourself are true.
You may never get rid of insecure thoughts completely, but you have the ability to recognize when you’re having such a thought and ask yourself, “Is it true?”
For instance, you might have some insecurities about how you’ll be perceived in an upcoming social situation. Or you might have a job review coming up, and you worry that your boss might think you’re not performing up to standard. But when you have those thoughts, you can step back and ask if that’s really true. You know you’ve been going above and beyond. You know you’ve exceeded every task you’ve been given. And you know that you have shown up and proven yourself, time and time again.
That’s when you can take a step back and say, “I recognize this thought as a product of self-doubt and insecurities, but I choose to lovingly release it, because I know it isn’t true.”
Below, you’ll find 40 positive affirmations for insecurity and self-doubt. Some affirmations are universal, while others address specific types of insecurities, such as body insecurities.
For more empowering affirmations to lift you up and guide you when you’re feeling the weight of your insecurities bearing down on you, I’ve added links to additional affirmations below.
And for tips on how to use affirmations to get the most out of them, I encourage you to check out my post, How to Use Affirmations (So They Actually Work).

50 Abundance Affirmations to Create a Limitless Life
In this post, discover 50 powerful abundance affirmations to embrace your limitlessness and create a life of pure joy, peace, love, and prosperity. Let these affirmations light up every cell of your being and remind you that you are always worthy of true, infinite abundance.

For financial abundance affirmations, check out 50 Money Affirmations to Manifest Limitless Abundance.
What is abundance?
For most of my life, I associated abundance with something that existed outside of myself. A life of pure abundance meant I’d have more than enough external “things” to survive and thrive.
An abundance of food meant I’d have more than enough food to feed my family. An abundance of space to live in meant I’d have more than enough space for myself and my loved ones to live. And an abundance of money meant having more than enough money to live comfortably and financially support others.
Even an abundance of the intangible things seemingly resulted from the tangible. The intangible includes an abundance of happiness, freedom, peace, creativity, and love.
An abundance of happiness, I believed, would come when I worked in the career of my dreams and had everything I ever wanted.
And an abundance of freedom would come when I had enough money to live the life I desired.
And an abundance of love would come when I met someone who loved me unconditionally and when I had a large community of people to love me at all times.
What I’ve learned in my journey is this:
I had it backwards all along.
Abundance isn’t something that purely exists outside of me; abundance exists within.
And this is true for you, too.
You are deeply connected to an eternally abundant Universe. True freedom comes by understanding that the abundance you seek exists within.
You don’t gain freedom through gaining financial affluence from external forces. You become free when you realize you have all the affluence you’re looking for inside you. And when you’re able to cultivate a feeling of true affluence and prosperity within, you’ll start seeing more of it in your outside world.
This is true for every intangible and tangible thing you’ve ever desired. You already possess the power to have everything you’ve ever dreamed of and more. When you cultivate true joy, love, peace, passion, purpose, and freedom inside yourself, you’ll see these things reflected back to you in your outside world.
Below, you’ll find 50 abundance affirmations to embrace your limitlessness and create the truly abundant life you’ve always desired. As you repeat these affirmations, let them light up every cell of your being. Know that you are always worthy. You are infinitely powerful. You possess everything you need to create the most beautiful life you can imagine.
