One day, I’ll give you the full list of all the words I don’t like in the arena of self-development. We’ve covered Coach and Gratitude; now we can add Manifesting to it. Abundance, as well.
So many of these words have been warped by toxic positivity and co-opted by grifters that I just can’t. So, I don’t. Even though I do have certifications in Law of Attraction and Trauma-Informed Abundance. LOL. I know. There is good work within these fields, but it’s also a little groady.
I’m not so much about manifesting as I am about attracting. Being magnetic in life and just drawing good things to you. Abundance? I’d rather have plenty, a profusion, a plethora or copious amounts. It makes it more fun, right?
Part of being a happy rebel is creating the life you want, being the person you want and having what you want. Not in a toddler-having-a-tantrum way, but in living a truly satisfying life. Satisfying for you, not by anyone else’s definition. Happy Rebels are free to be ambitious, successful, or totally chill with what some would call a quiet life. Do you.
This is also part of creating the world we want. Showing everyone there’s plenty of room at the table and wondrous amounts for all to share. So don’t think I’m going all The Secret on you. I’m going beyond that. We are going to be attractive. Not manifesty. Attractive.
Are you ready to attract what you want? Let's get into it!
