6 Words That Are Blocking Your Desires

Are you trying to manifest the perfect partner?

When you try, hope, want, and cry over the fact that you need a good relationship and you will never meet “the one” you are, in fact, creating the opposite of what you desire for yourself.

Using negative self-talk will never manifest your desires.

Have you ever noticed how certain words can act like invisible barriers, preventing you from achieving your dreams and goals? It's fascinating how our language and the words we choose to use can have a profound impact on our ability to manifest the life we desire.

The introductory paragraph to this article is loaded with words that will keep you far away from what you want. Using these words is basically like spraying an aerosol repellent for all your desires. All your dreams will die in midair.

Let's take a closer look at the subtle yet powerful influence of words like "never," "always," "try," "want," and "hope" on our manifestation journey. So, let's embark on this transformative exploration together.

The Power of Language in Manifestation

Words are not just tools for communication; they are the building blocks of our thoughts and beliefs. The language we use shapes our perception of the world and, consequently, our reality.

All of these words affirm something for the future. As long as you keep verbally affirming failure, disappointment, abundance and success in the future youwill be affirming what you will experience in the future. In contrast, when the future statements are reworded to reflect the present, the results you desire will be attracted much, much quicker.

To understand how certain words can hinder our manifestation efforts, let's dissect each of them:

1. The Limitation of "Never"

"Never" is a word of finality. When you tell yourself, "I can never achieve that," you immediately close the door to possibilities. Instead of embracing limitations, try replacing "never" with "not yet." By doing so, you acknowledge that while it may be challenging now, the future holds endless potential for growth and success.

I’m never going to meet the right person.

The perfect person is on their way to me now.

I never have relationships with honest partners.

I have honest relationships.

I’ll never find someone to treat me right.

My partner treats me with high respect.

2. The Rigidity of "Always"

"Always" implies a never-ending cycle. When you convince yourself that something always happens a certain way, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Challenge this word by recognizing that change is the only constant. Replace "always" with "sometimes" to open your mind to new opportunities and outcomes.

You always say that.

Is it possible we can look at this another way?

I'm always picking the wrong partner.

I now choose healthy, stable, and emotionally intelligent partners.

I always screw everything up.

Today I am competent in all that I do.

3. The Uncertainty of "Try"

"Try" often signifies a half-hearted effort. When you say, "I'll try to manifest my dreams," you're already doubting your ability. Shift your mindset by committing to your goals. Replace "try" with "I am..." to express determination and conviction.

I’m trying to lose weight.

I am losing weight.

I’m trying to find my perfect partner.

My perfect partner is on her way to me now.

I’m trying to make a 100 on the exam.

I am making a 100 on the exam.

4. The Elusive Nature of "Want"

"Want" suggests a sense of lack and desire. When you focus on what you want, you reinforce the idea that you don't have it yet. Instead, use phrases such as "I am..." to acknowledge your aspirations while affirming your intention to manifest them.

I want to be rich.

I am rich!

I want to be loved.

I am loved.

I want to land this great deal.

I am landing this great deal.

5. The Passive Energy of "Hope"

"Hope" can sometimes keep you waiting for a change to happen on its own. While hope is a beautiful emotion, it should be accompanied by action. Transform "hope" into the present to signify your active involvement in creating your desired future.

I hope I will pass the exam.

I have already passed the exam.

I hope to see you again.

I will see you again.

I hope she will be okay.

She is going to be okay.

6. The Belief in Lack Creates "Need"

"Need" can foster a sense of dependency. Believing that you need something external for happiness or success can divert your focus away from the power you have within to create your reality.

I need to attract better partners.

I am attracting my perfect partner.

I need to control my temper.

I am controlling my temper.

I need to get a better job.

A great job is on its way to me now.

It’s true, at first it will feel like you are lying to yourself.

But, like anything, the more you do it the more it will feel true and the more it WILL be true. Very quickly you will start to see little shifts and changes in your thoughts, the way you perceive yourself as well as noticing things about your interaction with your world you did not see before. Soon, the words will feel easy, truthful and normal.

Muhammed Ali, when he was a nobody, punched his bag down in a basement, while nobody knew who he was. He punched his bag over and over saying, “I’m the greatest! I’m the greatest in the world.” Since those days he has indeed been coined as “the greatest”.

Manifestation in Practice

Now that we've reframed these limiting words, let's explore practical steps to manifest your desires:

1. Set Clear Intentions: Replace vague hopes with clear intentions. Define what you want to manifest in precise terms.

2. Visualize Your Success: Use the power of your imagination to vividly picture yourself living your desired life. Visualization reinforces your commitment.

3. Take Inspired Action: Don't just hope for change; take tangible steps toward your goals. Every action aligns you with your desired reality.

4. Practice Affirmations: Use positive affirmations that reflect your newfound mindset. Affirmations help rewire your beliefs.

5. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Eliminate negativity from your environment. Surround yourself with supportive people and uplifting influences.

6. Stay Persistent: Remember that manifestation is a journey, not a destination. Stay persistent, and don't be discouraged by setbacks.

Words hold immense power in shaping our reality. By replacing limiting words like "never," "always," "try," "want," "need", and "hope" with more empowering alternatives, you can unlock your full manifestation potential.

Manifestation is not about wishful thinking; it's about conscious creation.

Embrace the transformative power of language, and watch your dreams become your reality. It's time to break free from the words that block your path and step into a future filled with limitless possibilities.

Now, if you apply what you have learned here today to how you talk about your potential love life, the perfect partner will be coming much quicker than it otherwise would if your words are reflective of negativity, doubt, and uncertainty. It’s true, remove those 6 words, change the way you speak, change your thoughts and you will change your life.
