I’ve talked before about expectations, specifically where I’ve mentioned focusing expectations about yourself and your life, rather than for other people.

Today I’m going to do a slightly different take on it…

I heard someone recently saying “if you don’t expect too much then you won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t happen, and can enjoy it if more turns up”. Noooo! Of course the thing about the latter part of that statement is… it won’t happen unless you expect it to! Remember, the Universe responds to our vibration AND our expectations. If you don’t expect much, how on earth can you expect to get more?!

You see when you don’t receive what it is you expect, it’s not that your expectations are too high, but that your beliefs are limiting what you’re allowing into your experience. Whatever it is you want in life, you ask for it, expect it, and then all you need do is put yourself in vibrational alignment with it to allow it into your experience. BUT, if you don’t expect you’ll ever receive it, then you’re already not vibrating in the right way TO receive it.

Here’s another saying “Hope for the best, expect the worst, and take what comes”! That’s another one of those “noooo” statements. Hope for the best, expect the best, feel good about the best, receive the best!

We limit ourselves so very often with things like “I could never afford it”, or “I’d love it but it’ll never happen”, “I don’t want to disappointment myself by over-expecting”, “I just can’t see how I can ever achieve it”. All too often we are limiting HOW we receive things when all we really need do is focus on feeling good about WHAT it is that we want to create. Leave the how up to the Universe. Be open to receive whatever it is you want in the easiest way possible for the Universe to bring it to you.

You see, when you feel good, you’re centred and can find it so much easier to listen to the internal guidance that directs you to the synchronicities to bring you what you desire. So the key here, is to notice any limiting beliefs and self-sabotage behaviour that’s keeping you from vibrationally aligning with what you want.

Think about your expectations for the day ahead, the week ahead, the month ahead, and year ahead. Are your expectations ones that make you feel good? If they’re not, what are the limiting beliefs that you are stuck on that are holding you back? Therein lies the key to unlock the door to your desires… Remember too, if you don’t ever expect yourself to be able to let go of your limiting beliefs… you never will!

Just for today, expect something wonderful to happen for you. Don’t worry about what it might be. Just expect something brilliant to happen to you today and enjoy the delicious anticipation of the nice surprise. Affirm to yourself: Just for today, I gift myself permission to expect a wonderful day. And so it is.
