5 Signs You’re Blocking Your Own Abundance
1. Manifesting from Lack, Not Abundance
The Problem: If you constantly feel like you need something—more money, love, success—you’re actually reinforcing the lack of it. The universe doesn’t respond to words; it responds to energy. When you say, “I need more money”, you’re sending out the vibration of not having enough, which only attracts more of the same.
The Fix: Shift your energy from lack to abundance. Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, start appreciating what you do. Express gratitude for the abundance already in your life and visualize yourself already having what you desire. Use affirmations like, “I am so grateful for the financial abundance flowing into my life”. A powerful exercise is to reframe your desires into gratitude statements as if they’re already happening. I share more in the episode so be sure to watch or listen!
2. Being Over-Attached to the Outcome
The Problem: Are you constantly checking your bank account, looking for signs, or wondering when your manifestation will arrive? This over-attachment creates resistance and signals doubt to the universe. Think of manifestation like planting a seed—if you keep digging it up to check if it’s growing, it won’t have a chance to take root.
The Fix: Detach and trust. Let go of the ‘when’ and ‘how’ and focus on feeling aligned now. The universe works in divine timing, and your job is to stay in a high-vibrational state. A helpful mantra is, “I trust that what’s meant for me is already on its way”. To shift your energy, write down something you’ve been obsessing over and ask yourself, “How can I release control and trust the process today?”
Side note: TBH, this one is the most challenging for me and I am well aware so each day I do a letting go exercise to help me get in the right space.
3. Taking Misaligned Action or No Action at All
The Problem: Manifestation isn’t just about thinking—it requires aligned action. Some people hustle and grind without alignment, exhausting themselves in the process, while others sit back and expect the universe to do all the work. Neither approach works because action must be inspired.
The Fix: Ask yourself, “If I already had what I want, how would I be acting today?” Embody that version of yourself. If you’re manifesting financial abundance, start managing your finances wisely. If you’re attracting love, put yourself in situations where you can meet new people. Take small, inspired actions daily that align with your desires.
4. Holding Onto Old Stories & Limiting Beliefs
The Problem: Sometimes, the biggest blocks are the ones we don’t even realize we have. If deep down, you don’t believe you’re worthy of success, love, or abundance, your subconscious mind will find ways to keep you stuck. Old programming from childhood, past experiences, or societal conditioning can create invisible barriers to manifestation.
The Fix: Identify and reframe limiting beliefs. Think back to the messages you received about money, love, or success growing up. What patterns do you notice? Replace disempowering beliefs with new affirmations. For example, instead of “I never have enough money”, shift to “Money flows to me in expected and unexpected ways”. Journaling, meditation, and EFT tapping are powerful tools to rewire subconscious patterns.
5. Your Energy is Out of Alignment (Stress, Anxiety, Overthinking)
The Problem: Your manifestations respond to your dominant energy. If you’re constantly stressed, anxious, or overthinking, you’re not in the frequency of receiving. Imagine your vibration like a radio station—if you’re tuned into stress and doubt, you can’t receive the signal of abundance.
The Fix: Prioritize energy alignment. Daily practices like breathwork, meditation, movement, and yoga can shift your state. Even a simple deep breath can bring you back into the present moment. Try this mini practice now: Take a deep breath in… hold… and exhale. Feel yourself shifting into trust and ease. Commit to at least one energy-resetting practice today to elevate your vibration.
Final Thoughts: Align & Receive
Your manifestations are already on their way—you just have to align your energy! Let go of attachment, take inspired action, shift your beliefs, and keep your energy clear. When you remove these manifestation blocks, you open yourself to receiving abundance effortlessly.
