Behind the scenes with Marisa

To reach the things that we want in our life, it's not so much as doing what we know logically makes sense as much as it is about eliminating all doubt. A desire is a wave of energy and when we allow self-doubt to rears its ugly head – it too will take the form of an energy wave, only in the opposite direction of the desire. Therefore, with two opposing intentions, they inevitably will cancel each other out, including our intention.

There are only three things we can control in life, our thoughts, our actions and our images of the future. I like to live in the imagery corner. I know even if my thoughts are aligned, and I'm doing all the right things, those things won't matter if I've set up a negative outcome in my mind.

Suppose you have always dreamed of writing a book one day. Then you wake up one day and say “I want to write a book and by hook or by crook, one day I will write my book!” Immediately after voicing this, a few hours pass, maybe after a day or two, the self-doubt beings to creep in, essentially canceling that goal out.  Now you’ve had some time to consider if this goal is possibile. You may not be smart enough to write a book or perhaps you are overwhelmed with responsibilities and do not have the time to write a book. So, that initial desire filled with enthusiasm never stands a chance of getting off the ground to gain momentum because it has been swiftly cancelled out. These are your limiting beliefs. It’s not that we have to work hard at the things we want, we just have to eliminate resistance around believing that they are possible and we are qualified to receive them.

Why is this important? Sabotaging beliefs will physically weaken you and show up as weak language. Positive expectation on the other hand replaces those negative low-lying energy waves with high-flying expected outcomes and gives space for your desires to bloom with breathing room.

So when you're feeling on shaky ground unsure of how things will turn out, go back to why you are there, and why you matter unattached to the outcome, fully letting go.

So think about ways in which you are memorable in your personal life where you feel safe and apply that to the public world as if you know everyone in the room. Be open. Talk to strangers whom you for no rational reason just tend to gravitate to. Even when you sit at a table with strangers, that seat you chose wasn't random. Someone at the that table can help you. You were paired there for a reason - both of you.  This isn't magic, it's simply how we are given opportunities. They are right beneath our nose. So, when your gut says to go up to a stranger and ask them a question - do it! Don't question WHY. That's an inspired action and will unveil itself later.
