Manifest your Full Potential
by Maureen Higgins

The present is all that matters because what we choose today creates what we receive tomorrow.

Our mind likes to chatter about the past focusing on fears, mistakes and events. It also projects us into the future using the past as a guidepost for future planning. Our mind is wired for learning and retaining past information. It’s our Spirit (also called inner wisdom or Higher Self) that can best create our present and future. Our Spirit has no fears or limitations, only inspiration and creativity, which manifest our full potential. We can then use our mind to implement these insights.

The most effective way to live out each day is to continuously check in with our Spirit as we make decisions, plans and goals. Keep the intention that you are always letting go of inner fears and limited thinking that interferes with your creative potential and happiness. It is also important to ask the Spirit World to help you release inner limitations and to support and love you as you reach your highest potential.

This could be a typical day for you to maximize the potential of each day.

You wake up in the morning and thank your Spirit for directing your day. Initially you ask for the best way to connect with your Spirit so you can listen for guidance. As time goes on, you learn to separate the mind’s chatter from your Spirit’s peaceful, inspiring messages. Keep aware of how your Spirit is directing you as often as you can each day. It may be helpful to keep a written reminder by your dresser or work desk, or a picture or object reminding you to do this.

As you wake up you also ask your Spirit Guides, Angels and Teachers, those of the Highest Vibrational Nature, to assist in healing anything interfering with your potential and happiness (you may be specific on what you want to heal from or bring into your life). You could also do this at the beginning of your morning as you meditate, perform yoga and/or stretches, during a walk or exercise, or as you slowly wake up in bed. You then ask for obvious signs on how you can know they are there. (You may get these obvious signs soon, or it could take awhile - -be patient.) Some people get a knowing that they are there, some people see them with their physical eyes or in their mind’s eye, or feel them. If you get a sense that they are there, put your hand out to where you think they are to see if you can feel their energy. They may feel hot, cold or prickly where they are located.

As you go through your day, notice how you react to people and situations. They give you clues about what’s going on inside of you -- what needs to be looked at and healed. Again, keep asking your Spirit to give you input and your Teachers, Guides and Angels to assist you as you go about your day. When someone is making you uncomfortable or angry, ask your Spirit what is getting triggered inside yourself. Someone may treat you poorly, like someone from your past giving you the opportunity to deal with it differently this time, which frees you up inside. A new job opportunity may manifest, giving you the chance to use more of your gifts. Your Spirit can help you see the meaning in your life.

Spend time each day dreaming about how you’d really like your life to be. See it, feel it, taste it, write about it, draw pictures, make collages -- and embody it. After all, most things in life are not predestined on an individual level. You are the creator of your life!!

Before you go to sleep at night, thank your Spirit, Angels, Guides and Teachers for the help you received during the day and, again, for obvious signs that they are helping you (even if signs are not obvious yet, state gratitude as though they are obvious). Ask them to continue helping you through your dreams and sleep states. You may ask your Angels, Guides and Teachers to send you energy as you sleep so you can release old patterns, beliefs and emotions that no longer serve you. Whenever you release something, you want to fill yourself up with something loving. Ask to bring in love, support and energies to bring forth creative potential for your life. Ask your Spirit to direct this process. Pay attention to where the blocks reside in your body along with experiencing the energies coming in as you drift off to sleep. Put the intention that you will be able to notice the blocks and the energies that are releasing and coming in.

Finding ways to pay attention to your inner and outer world helps you move through your inner blocks and challenges more effectively so you become lighter and happier. Enlisting the love, assistance and support from your Spirit, Angels, Guides and Teachers allows you to create the present and future reality that is best for you. It is also important to let those in the physical world assist you for we all need people to help us in our growth process. Living life in this manner brings forth miracles and infinite creative potential.
