What am I attracting?

People will set intentions, practice affirmations, and create vision boards and report that nothing is happening as a result of it. What they are actually saying is that they are not manifesting what they think they desire. You are always in the process of attracting. It may be that what is coming into your life is not what you desire. We attract that upon which we place our focus, whether at the conscious or subconscious level. I may be stating that I want a new job or a new relationship. When we use the word "want," the Universe responds with opportunities to experience that longing. We state our intention as if it is already present and we express gratitude for having it in our lives. That is at the conscious level. What is more of a challenge is what is blocking our realizing our desires at the subconscious level. Because we are often unaware of its power and influence in our lives, we don't know how to address it. The power of the subconscious rests in its strong hold on limiting beliefs. We state that we see ourselves in a new job and the subconscious reminds us that we are too old, too dumb, or unworthy to be hired for it. It sabotages our attempts to obtain what we desire to maintain a status quo and then we wonder what happened when we don't get the job we seek. What are the limiting beliefs that you hold that show up in attracting what no longer serves you?
