Are You Using The Just In Case Syndrome When Practicing Law Of Attraction? By Ophelia Nicholson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

A lot of people practicing Law of Attraction have a syndrome. You hear about it every day but no one gives it a name - so presenting the JUST IN CASE syndrome:

You are a child and you say ‘Mom, I want to be a movie star!’ She says ‘Honey, get a degree - just in case it doesn’t work out’…

You go to the grocery store and you say ‘double bag it for me - just in case it breaks’…

You say ‘I’m going to be self employed’, you hear ‘make sure you have 6 months’ worth of income - just in case it doesn’t work out’…

You say ‘I’ve asked the Universe for $2K to pay my mortgage but just in case I’m going to get a part-time job.

We call it our backup plan, but the Universe calls it lack of trust or lack of faith.

Most people are putting out empty requests to the Universe and they add in a dash of feeling: I’m so happy that my money is coming; I’m so happy my car is coming; I’m so happy the sky is blue…but for the rest of the 24 hours it’s ‘Oh my god - what if the money doesn’t come, what am I gonna do, what are we gonna eat, what if this doesn’t work out, what if the Universe doesn’t answer me?? Okay maybe while I wait I’ll formulate a plan B, C, D, E, F and Z too…just in case the Universe is really busy and doesn’t get around to my request in time.’ Well sorry to break it to you but that is not trust.

When did we stop trusting?

As kids we learned that people cannot be trusted - that people let us down, even God lets us down, then Santa didn’t bring the presents we wanted, then the tooth fairy said we were too old to get money for our teeth and so we figured out ‘Hey, the only person who will not let me down is ME.’

Then as time went by you realized ‘I can’t even trust myself! I’ve made mistakes, had bad relationships, loaned people money who never paid me back…I’ve failed at so many things. How can I trust decisions I make with absolute faith?’…

And so was born the ‘Just in cases’, meant to shield you from being hurt and being let down, even by yourself…So if you cannot trust yourself, how much trust do you really believe you show the Universe?

If you have a job and the employer says ‘I’m going to pay you on the 15th and the 30th’, do you expect to get paid on the 1st? Do you plan to get paid on any other day except the 15th and the 30th? NO. You have absolute faith that the employer will honor his promise. (After all, you’ve already spent the money, even if only in your mind!) Do you make a backup plan that if I don’t get a paycheck on the 30th I’ll do X, Y, Z followed by A, B, C? NO – you don’t. You don’t make ‘just in case my employer doesn’t pay me’ plans. You have the mindset of ‘I’m gonna get paid – PERIOD’, and that right there is a solid belief: the money is coming, it has no choice but to come and I’ve made no backup plans.

But when we say ‘Universe I need to generate an extra $2K in income in 30 days’, our belief is totally different. It now changes to ‘Well, if the Universe doesn’t send it I must have done something wrong, I could probably survive without it…’ so now the belief is: I can make a backup plan…a ‘just in case’.

How to get over the JUST IN CASE?

Stop making backup plans. Stop thinking it may not work out - that in itself is a belief. Burn all bridges behind you. I’ve looked back on my life and realized that the points where I succeeded wildly were the points where I had no backup plan - no just in case. It was simple - IT’S GOT TO WORK - and it did, because I believed it had to work. There was no going back, only going forward at those points in time.

Law of Attraction teaches that what you focus on expands, so if you focus on ‘it may not work so just in case let’s make a plan b, and in case plan b may not work lets make plan c’, what do you attract? Situations that don’t work out so you can say THANK GOD I MADE A PLAN B. But if you have no plan B, C, D, E, or F and you say ‘It’s got to work - it has no choice’ then you are focused on IT HAS TO WORK and so things to prove that it has to work, or it is working will show up for you…

So pick something - anything - and throw away your backup plans and your doubt and decide today that there is no fallback plan and this has simply GOT TO WORK.
