The key to moving yourself into experiential understanding of your power to be, do, and have what you’ve intended is practice. With any practice you are doing, to achieve a change of some kind (e.g. a change in behavior, a change in energy, a change in what you repeatedly experience) consistency and repetition is a must for a period of time. Deliberate creation, conscious creation, the ability to intentionally and co-creatively bring about desired outcomes, is a skill you cultivate like any other, and like any other skill it requires that you practice and refine your process as you learn more about how you do you, how you do your reality, and how you can do both of those more optimally, consciously, intentionally, effectively. 

Resistance during the process of deliberate creation comes in many forms, a common form of which is the anticipation of rejection from your environment. To continually project a negative environment out before you and then live and express your moments in relationship to that projection is to continually expect rejection to be what meets you at every turn. A negative environment is one in which you anticipate denial of your desires, wants, and/or needs from the world. The root of it is a premise that says your environment, the world, the universe cannot or will not give you your desire, cannot or will not meet your needs, cannot or will not fulfill your wants, cannot or will not support you in the ways you desire to be supported. In short, it is a belief in an unresponsive Universe. 

​Your indoctrination into earth life, into embodied experience may make it feel like at times that other people can create in your reality, that their decisions, their behaviors, their thoughts and feelings about you can determine what you do and don’t experience. Such a belief then makes you behave in ways where you are continually trying to assess and influence what others think, feel, and do where you’re concerned. 

​How do you appraise yourself in your life? What is your sense of value and worth right now in all aspects of your experience – in your relationships, in your career, in your creativity? What is that sense based on? Are you valuable and worthy just as you are? Do you matter just as you are? Or do you need to be something else, achieve more, generate more, do more, be "better than" to feel like you have value and worth in life, in the world?

​One of the more critical explorations of your psychological evolution is your relationship to value and worth. 

Where are you holding on to a limited image of self?

​Where you are rationalizing yourself into a “smaller” goal or a more “doable” goal is where you have some expansion in consciousness to achieve. It’s when you’re holding on to a limited image of yourself that you start rationalizing and talking yourself into more comfortable goals and intentions.
