Get Rid of Your "But" and Transform Your Life

by Cindy Silbert, Author, Creator and Life Cultivator

Think about what you really want and see how long it takes before a "but" comes up. Our subconscious or ego works to cleverly point out why we can't or shouldn't have what we really want. Over time a simple contrary thought becomes a negative belief and your "but" can grow into a great divide between you and what you most want. Here's are a few common "buts":

• I want to lose weight "But" I don't have time to work out. • I want to start a business "But" it's not the right time. • I want to move my life forward "But" I don't know where to start. • I want to find the love of my life "But" I need to get into shape first. • I want to move to a better place to live "But" the market isn't good. • I want to change my life "But" I need to get clear on what I want first. • I want to save money "But" I can hardly pay my bills. • I want to make more money "But" maybe I'm too greedy. • I'd like to change careers "But" I'm too old. • I want to take a dance class "But" I'm too uncoordinated.

The list goes on and becomes more complicated. I became aware of my "But" when I started my company Bring U to Life. It was such a big vision that I found myself thinking, "I want to create this business "But" I am too old now. Why didn't I start it earlier?" Then, it hit me. I remembered being 25 years old and thinking, "I want to start my own business "But" I'm too young." I realized that both of these thoughts were manufactured by my ego in an effort to protect me from failure by preventing me from having what I want. That's when I set out to get rid of my "But" forever.

So why does your "But" get in the way of having what you want? It has to do with the Law of Attraction. In order to get the Law of attraction working for you, you have to send a clear and consistent message to the Universe. Our desires are clearly communicated to the Universe until our subconscious mind confuses things by counteracting our pure creative thoughts with a "But" thought which puts what we want on hold or cancels it out completely. Unless you get rid of this nasty habit you'll spin your creative wheels, waste precious time and energy never having the Law of Attraction working for you.

Here are three simple steps you can take to get rid of your "But":

1. Become aware of your "But" through observation. Notice how many times "But" thoughts come up and how many times the word "But" comes out of your mouth. 2. Determine how big your "But" really is. Write all of your "Buts" down. Begin with what you want first and then the "But" after that. If you have "Buts" that are so big you really believe they're true, you'll need to get rid of them by replacing them with something else. Rewrite the statement of what you want and stop where you would have written "But" and instead write "And I am". Follow "And I am" with a powerful creative statement. For example, if what you wrote is something like "I want to take better care of myself "But" I really don't have them time." Rewrite it as "I want to take better care of myself "And I am" exercising and eating healthy every day because I love myself and caring for my body is the foundation for everything else I want to create." Do this as many times for as many "Buts" you have in you. 3. Remove the word "But" from your vocabulary. It really has little value and your everyday language is a powerful tool for sending a consistent message to the Universe about what you want.

Get rid of your "But" and dramatically transform your life by getting the Law of Attraction working for you.
