Analyzing Your Vibrational Gap
You've told me many of your manifesting frustrations come from not understanding what the hang up is.
You wonder why things aren't happening, what's taking so long, or what you're doing wrong.
One of the first steps I take with new clients is to conduct a "gap analysis," where we take stock of where you are and compare it to where you want to be.
Conducting your own gap analysis helps you understand what the hold up is, which not only reduces frustration but also reveals your next steps.
Analyzing your vibrational gap is simple:
1) What's your goal? Identify what you want.
2) Answer the following questions about your current vibration in regards to that goal (i.e. how you're thinking, feeling & behaving NOW):
- How are you now feeling about that thing you want?
- How are you now thinking about it?
- How are you now behaving (or acting) in regards to it?
3) Answer the next questions about the aligned vibration (i.e., how you'll think, feel & behave when you have what you want):
- How will you feel once you have it?
- What thoughts will you think when you have it?
- How will you behave (or act) once you have it?
4) Now look at the difference in thoughts, feelings and actions between your "current" and "aligned" responses.
Congrats - you've just identified your gap!
This gap explains why things not only aren't happening - it reveals why they can't happen. Until your current vibration is a whole lot closer to your aligned vibration, you'll continue to experience your dreams and desires as elusive.
Here's an example of how it might look:
Goal: experience a happy and fulfilling romantic relationship
Current thoughts, feelings & actions:
Thoughts: Why hasn't this happened yet? Why is this so hard for me?
Feelings: Discouraged, dissatisfied, frustrated
Actions: peruse online dating sites seeing same old faces, Friday nights home alone
Aligned thoughts, feelings & actions:
Thoughts: This is more like it! I am SO happy!
Feelings: Joy, Contentment
Actions: enjoying date nights together, having a skip in the step, laughing and smiling more

Getting what you want is all about covering the distance from where you are now (vibrationally) to where you'll be then (vibrationally).
The process works well when you're clear about how your vibration is helping - or handicapping - you. Once you see the differences, start eliminating those differences by lining up your thoughts, feelings and actions with what they would be when you have what you want.
It's simple stuff, but if you need help, this is exactly what every ezine issue and blog post I publish are geared to help you with (as well as group and individual coaching services).
The key is to remember this manifesting stuff isn't some big mystery or jackpot you're hoping to hit. This is easier than you may have been thinking!
