Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome, gorgeous souls, to Episode 444 of Aligned Abundance! ✨In this week's episode, I'm exploring the difference between healthy and unhealthy expectations when it comes to manifesting your desires - and whether your expectations could actually be blocking what you're trying to receive. Having big dreams and believing they're possible is a powerful part of manifestation. But there's a difference between expecting abundance to be available to you and becoming emotionally attached to exactly how, when and in what form your desires have to arrive.In this episode, I'm sharing why our ego can become so invested in a particular outcome that we unknowingly put our desires in a chokehold. I'll explore why releasing expectations doesn't mean lowering your standards or giving up on your dreams, but instead expanding your expectations beyond what you can currently imagine and creating space for something even bigger, better or more aligned to find you.In this episode, I’m sharing:Why healthy expectations and attachment aren't the same thingHow your ego can become emotionally invested in a specific outcomeWhy releasing expectations doesn't mean lowering your standards or dreamsHow focusing on the exact "how" can limit what you're available to receiveBecause sometimes the most abundant thing you can do is hold the vision, take aligned action and leave enough space for the Universe to show you just how much bigger and better your dreams could become ✨Resources mentioned in this episode:Reset to Receive (FREE 60-min Reset): 19th AugustJoin the Manifestation Membership: August's Theme: Possibilities-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Explore More Ways to Manifest Your Dream Life...💫​Join the Manifestation Membership: August's Theme: PossibilitiesGet my NEW Book: Aligned Abundance (release expectations, become magnetic and manifest the life of your dreams)My Book: Hurt, Healing, Healed (Release limiting beliefs, fears and block to supercharge your manifestation)My #1 Bestselling Book: Positively WealthyMy Amazon Book Recommendations Shop: Law of Attraction Oracle Cards, Merchandise & Planners FREE Manifestation Weekly WorksheetJoin our community: Law of Attraction Facebook Support Group -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I’m Emma Mumford the UK's leading Law of Attraction expert and 4x bestselling author of Positively Wealthy, Hurt, Healing, Healed and Manifesting Rituals.
