The #1 Reason You Don’t Attract What You Want

Are you struggling to get what you really want?

Maybe it’s a new job, a romantic relationship, or money in the bank. Maybe it’s something tangible like a house, or maybe you just wish you felt better every day.

Does it ever seem like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t make it happen?

Good news: that changes TODAY.

The #1 reason you don’t attract what you want is because you’re sending the wrong energetic signals.

If this sounds heady, hang with me. As I teach in my new book, Super Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, we’re always giving off energy.

Our energy attracts its match, so if you’re vibrating a low frequency, you’re like a magnet for similarly low-vibe experiences, people, and situations. (You know how people say that things go from bad to worse? This is why.)

But on the flip side, if you commit to feeling good, then you’ll raise your vibration and start attracting the greatness you want!

Follow these three steps to get started.

Step 1: Get clear about what you want

Before you can start attracting what you want, you first need to truly know what it is you want.

For example, let’s say you want more financial security. Get clear on your desire and make sure it feels good and attainable when you say it out loud or write it down. So if you’re in debt, saying, “I want to be a millionaire within the year” probably doesn’t feel realistic.

Instead, you might say, “I want to feel abundant. I want to have money in the bank and I want to feel financially free.”

Focus primarily on how it will feel to have it. Remember, your energy is what matters most.

Step 2: Turn over your desire

Do you try to control outcomes? Same. But when we try to control, we’re putting out signals of desperation and neediness. These low vibes drag down our energy. So once you’re clear on your desire, turn it over to the Universe!

Release it and trust that it’s being taken care of. You can say this simple prayer to turn over your desire: “I step back and let the Universe lead the way.”

Step 3: Do everything you can to support the feeling you want

If you want to feel abundant and earn more money, then make sure you’re respecting and enjoying your money. Pay your bills, save what you can, and indulge mindfully on experiences and things that bring you joy.

These don’t have to be extravagant purchases. You can find abundance in a cup of coffee.

Consciously appreciate everything you DO have. Remember, the Universe responds to energy. When you appreciate, you attract your desires fast!

In chapter three of my book Super Attractor, I teach a powerful method called the Universal Abundance Method. It will help you release blocks to your attracting power and manifest what you want with confidence! Grab the book here to take your practice further.

Gabrielle Bernstein is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Universe Has Your Back and has written five additional best sellers. She was featured on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday as a “next-generation thought leader” and The Oprah Winfrey Network chose Gabrielle to be part of the “Super Soul 100” a dynamic group of 100 trailblazers whose vision and life’s work are bringing a higher level of consciousness to the world. The New York Times identified her as “a new role model.” In September 2019 Gabby launches her seventh book entitled, Super Attractor.
