I’m Worried I’m Not Sending Out the ‘Right’ Vibes to Manifest What’s Best for Me

Someone recently emailed me this question and while she was asking about employment opportunities specifically, the issue touched on a lot of broader, more general ideas and concerns so I thought it would be helpful to publish her question and my answer here for all to read…

I’m interviewing for a job that could be amazing if I get it in terms of title, salary, and type of work…but it would be likely be a lot of work (…but maybe it wouldn’t). I’m at the point in my life where I want to work smarter, not harder.  While I’m interviewing for this position I’m also trying to get a consulting job because they can be high paying and not require a lot of work. But I don’t have anything in the works.

I feel like I’m giving the universe mixed messages.  I’m open to whichever opportunity is best, but I can’t back up far enough to see where the common vibe of both is.  I feel like that’s where my energies to be in order to bring in what’s best for me.

 

There are a couple of things I would say about the situation:

First, don’t get too caught up in making the ‘right’ decision as there is always an opportunity to change our minds and change course. If you ended up taking this first position and you found you didn’t like it, nothing would be forcing you to stay. Though if you didn’t think you would be able to leave the job as quickly as you would like for one reason or another, it would just be important to own that choice and work on your exit strategy.

You would also have an opportunity to reflect on the experience and see what it may have been showing you about what is going on in the mind, not just around the specific subject matter of employment and money, but broader, more general energies and beliefs that may be coming into play.

Secondly, the sorts of concerns you express about getting your vibe ‘right’ or not wanting to send mixed messages to the Universe  are very common and it is important to understand where this is all coming from, which is a place of fear about not getting what we want. This fear makes us overly concerned with the ‘process’ of manifestation and not wanting to mess it all up. 

When we find ourselves focusing on that a lot, it would serve us very well to explore the fear and other negative emotions at the root of that desire to make sure we are doing everything ‘right’ and the like. When we start to chip away at all that, we won’t worry about that stuff as much. We will be doing the ‘work’  that matters most, which is tending to our emotional/energetic health overall. The thoughts and  feelings that make us preoccupied with these sorts of concerns will not be dominating our energy.

And lastly, if you feel conflicted about the opportunity you are being presented with now, it can help to explore that a bit. Not feeling fully clear doesn’t automatically mean it isn’t right. That can be better determined by exploring the specifics of the resistance.

Even if it is not the most ideal opportunity on paper, you may uncover that it is actually a good opportunity for the moment for one reason or another and the resistance you feel around it is more based in ego ‘stuff’ rather than it being truly out of alignment with what you want.

 It may be some sort of stepping stone or it might lead to a connection that will benefit you. But it is important to remember that even if it served some positive purpose but you decided not to take it, this wouldn’t be any sort of ‘mistake’ or ‘wrong’ choice. It isn’t as if there is one strict path to getting to where we want to be and if we mess anything up along the way, that is it for us. We will always be presented with opportunities. 

Overall, I think it will benefit you more to give the lion’s share of your  attention to whatever negative feelings you may be experiencing as a result of this situation, whether it be confusion about what to do, worry about making the wrong choice, fear your most ideal opportunity may not present itself of whatever else is happening there. And from there, you will probably get more clarity and useful insights on the issues concerning you now, insights and clarity that will naturally flow to you, and not something you will have to dig around your mind trying to find.
