<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBrad:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just for a moment, close your eyes, and imagine walking along a beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine that you come across a lamp in the sand, and as you\nbrush the sand off it, a puff of smoke emits from the opening, eventually\ngrowing and taking the form of a genie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will grant you any wish you desire. What is your\ncommand?\u201d the genie says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So\u2026 if you could have a wish granted in this way, what would\nyou ask for? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A huge sum of money? A\nkiller body? A dream vacation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give it some thought. Is that what you really want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now consider this . . . Would you change your mind if the\ngenie said in response to your request, \u201cOkay, you\u2019ve got it. However, it\nwill take some time and probably some effort on your part?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would you say, \u201cWell, if that\u2019s the case, no thanks, I\u2019ll\npass?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If not, then who needs a genie? You can grant your own\ndarn wishes. (And, it\u2019ll be more satisfying.) It\u2019s just that they will be\ngranted incrementally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenge of granting wishes incrementally is that\nthere\u2019s too much room to change your mind. Our actions at one moment may\nsuggest that we are granting our wish of being financially independent, and\nthen later it looks like we are determined to manifest a life of financial\nstruggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One moment we are taking great care of our body, and the\nnext we are acting in a way that suggests we wish to be morbidly obese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose that\u2019s the allure of having a genie grant our wish\n\u2013 it manifests so quickly that we don\u2019t have time to get in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make a list of things you would ask for if you found a genie\nwho was willing to grant your wishes. Could be a list of three wishes,\ncould be a list of 25 wishes. Or 100. Give yourself permission to\nthink about the things you\u2019d like to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then ask yourself if you would only want them if they could\nbe delivered immediately and without effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself what you would choose to manifest, no matter\nhow long it would take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now notice where you might have conflicting wishes. Desiring\nfame and fortune is going to be tough if you also desire a quiet life of anonymity. This\nis where the incremental wish granting gets tricky, because there is too much\ntime to switch back and forth between these contradictory desires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider that this is why you may not have everything you\nwant right now. You have the power of a genie within you\u2026 you also have\nthe power to thwart yourself. Not because you are bad or stupid, but because\nyou have contradictory ideas about what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give yourself permission to choose, and tap to clear any\nresistance to doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also have contradictory ideas about what is safe\nand\/or acceptable to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With each item on your list of wishes, close your eyes,\nimagine having it, and say, \u201cIt\u2019s safe to have this\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notice what you feel in your body, see how true this feels\non a scale of 0 -10. Write that number next to the wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also check the veracity of such statements as, \u201cIt\u2019s\nokay for me to have this,\u201d and, \u201cI deserve to have this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the extent that it\u2019s not a 10 (and if you haven\u2019t already\nmanifested this, or aren\u2019t already in the process of doing so, it\u2019s a pretty\ngood bet that it\u2019s not a 10\u2026), ask yourself why you couldn\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t have\nthis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then take each of those objections and start tapping to\nclear them. As you do so, you will find greater freedom to do what it takes to\nget what you want . . . and greater freedom to allow them into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulations, you are now in the process of incrementally\ngranting your own wishes. And the more resistance you clear, the quicker the\nmanifestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No genie required. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
