In his notable book, Law of Attraction, author Michael Losier makes a significant point that in order to manifest into our lives the people, circumstances, and things we want, we must “allow” them into our lives. I have met Mr. Losier, listened to him speak several times, and read his book often and he and I agree that allowing miracles is definitely the hardest part of the attraction regimen. The difficulty is that we think we don’t know HOW to allow or that we’re already doing everything we can to let the miracles in.
When we want to learn to do something, it is best to ask one who does that thing well to teach us. In our process of learning, that professional will watch us, note what could be done differently to improve our performance, and coach us as to what to change to improve the outcome. If we want to learn to live abundantly, manifest what we want, and allow miracles, what is it that our professional would observe in our daily actions that we might be coached to change? What would he tell us to do differently to improve our ability to allow the law of attraction to work in our favor?
He would remind us that the biggest eliminators of miracles are distractions. Distractions generally result in us leaving vital activities undone in order to accomplish less important tasks. Succumbing to distraction has been referred to as “being caught up in the thick of thin things.” You’ve had colleagues tell you that they didn’t get anything done because they spent the whole day “putting out fires.” In other words, they put all of their energy and attention into activities other that those that would contribute to the accomplishment of what is most important to them.
In assisting us to make adjustments toward success, our professional might ask, “What is the word you most often hear linked to distraction?” You guessed it. It’s the word “allow” as in, “She allowed herself to be distracted.” Do you see what our coach is saying here? We can either choose to allow distractions into our every day experience or we can choose to allow miracles into our daily lives. There is a choice to be made between allowing distractions or allowing miracles to dominate our time and attention? It is a choice, OUR choice, and we must choose between these mutually exclusive actions.
Our professional who is teaching us to live abundantly and to allow what we want into our lives would watch us for a day, carefully note how many times we diverge from what we claim we want to accomplish, and then he would coach us in a way that will help us see that a tweak or two will dramatically change our results as we choose to limit distractions. Hel’ll assist us to realize that we’ve known all along how to allow. It’s a matter of choosing what we allow into our lives.
We must never mistake activity for productivity and we cannot afford for distractions to derail us from taking the actions that will further our goals. We have the ability to consciously make room for wonderful opportunities, people, and circumstances to manifest in our daily experience by choosing to ignore the distractions of urgent matters and focus on the vital activities that will allow these miracles.

10 Comments and Pings on Making Room for Abundance (Part 2 – Limiting Distractions)
Yes, it is ALWAYS a choice ~ we were on the same page with that sentiment in our posts this week! The choice to allow distractions or miracles is one of the greatest struggles people seem to face. I couldn’t agree more that working with mentors is the very best way to clear the things that are in our way (the thin things, love that) ~ because we often don’t see them ourselves!
Thanks for the insights and inspiration, Val!

Val,
I too am familiar with Michael’s book and I would agree with you that the hardest part for me to grasp has been the “allowing” part of the process. Doing the right activity and staying focused on the outcome is key. As you point out, it’s the distractions that oftne get in the way.
Thanks for a wonderful reminder on this.

Hey Val,
You so read my thoughts this week!
How often do we claim we had a ‘big’ week or a ‘crisis’ to deal with.
Yet we create them. They are all distractions that hold us back from our main goal.
I’m amazed at how many people I speak to each week that have the flu again etc, etc…
More distractions!
You are spot on with the word ‘allow’ as so many times I see people not giving permission to allow for miracles!

Hi Val! Just checking to see if the comments are working. Love the post!
I’m afraid you’ve been eavesdropping on my life, Val.
I’ve had a SERIOUS case of distractions over the past several months. Part of it is my fault for starting things I had no real time for, and part because I REALLY have had distractions. Yes, I’ve allowed them, but they’ve really demanded my immediate attention.
Am I making excuses? I suppose.
Well, you’ve inspired me. From now on I’m doing my PRODUCTIVE work for a set number of hours every day, and I’m not allowing anything to interfere with it.
Thanks, Val, for keeping me on course. And thanks for mentioning Michael L. I love his stuff!

Thanks, Michaele, for your perspective on the relevance of just choosing to ignore some of the drama. When we seek to live a life of peace, often the crisis craze fades away.
Thanks, Kev, as always for keeping me up and running.
I’ve even begun closing my garage door and locking the walk-in door so that people think I’m away. This way I have a few hours to write without interruption. It’s heaven.
Val,
Although reading this was one of my distractions today, I am glad I did. Sometimes we need a swift kick….I mean a reminder that doing what is important first, and taking care of the rest later, will not only help us achieve our goals and a sense of accomplishment, but help us to learn to allow good things for ourselves. I get in my own way too often.
