Are You Making This COMMON Manifestation Mistake?

Are you making this common manifestation mistake?
You desire something in your life, maybe a new relationship or change in your business but then you start worrying if you'll actually get the thing you desire and your energy shifts from being open + receiving to anxious and grasping.
You're in scarcity mode!
When you're in scarcity mode, you're scared, desperate, + needy. The actions you take from this place ooze this needy energy and you actually end up pushing what you want away.
I had this happen in my own life recently…
I am organizing a mastermind for songwriters and have been arranging to have guest speakers come in and talk to the group. When I reach out to potential guests, I try to be unattached to the outcome but there were a couple times when I put too much importance on a particular guest speaker and started worrying if they'd agree to come speak at my event.
This worry started to creep into how I was communicating with them and it started to become stressful.
I soon realized that scarcity is a perspective, a mental trap. It's a way of thinking that skews your perception of reality.
I realized that there are countless people who could speak at my event and when I realized this, the neediness and the scarcity went away.
One of my favorite analogies for this is the 'closed fist'.
If you take your hand + curl it up into a tight fist, it gets uncomfortable; it requires energy to maintain and starts to become problematic.
You also can't receive anything when your hand is closed.
This is what we are doing with our energy when we are desperate for something. We are generating negative force and closing ourselves off to the possibility of receiving.
But what happens when you open your hand up?
You can relax! Energy flows with ease and you can receive.
So if you're feeling like you "need" that thing - the relationship, the business success, the personal goal - then you are likely making the mistake of being in scarcity energy and this is antithetical - counter to - receiving.
In these cases, it's helpful to zoom out and recognize the abundance that is all around you. Take stock of what you have and what you can be grateful for.
It's also helpful to notice if you're putting too much importance on "needing" that thing. If so, recognize this in yourself. Notice that needing, grasping energy, and let it go.
We when exist in the energy of already having what we want, and trust in that feeling, the universe provides - and abundantly!

I really like this analogy with the fist. I can relate to what you shared. It's so crazy how we slip into this unwanted place. Thanks for the wise words Dave!

It's very easy to do, yeah. It takes awareness to notice when we're in it but it's often going to this unwanted place that gives us the clarity to find where abundance is in our lives. So in other words, it can be a necessary "evil".
