Limiting Beliefs

Oh no it's you guys that make me shine so bright! hugs!

I am at my wit's end here.

I mentioned a few other times that I have been dealing with chronic car problems. If I went in to detail about all of the issues I've had, you probably wouldn't even believe it.

However, I'm not gonna fuel the negative situation by typing it all out-It would just get me frustrated and leave a written record of the non-stop hassles which would be counterproductive. Just trust me. I can't catch a break when it comes to cars and I need a reliable car to get to work.

So, here's the thing. On a conscious level every time I deal with some car problem I tell myself "That's it. I can't POSSIBLY have any car problems for a good long time." Well, it never works out that way. Sure enough a short time later another issue arises.

Obviously I have some extremely deep rooted subconscious beliefs here that need to be gone-NOW. I can't deal with this crap anymore.

I know the beliefs in question aren't really about the cars. I am sure it has something to do with money or my job situation since every time these issues arise it ends up costing me money and usually screws with my work schedule and causes all kinds of stress.

Not being able to even pinpoint exactly what the limiting belief is, where do you even start? This has been happening for so long now, with multiple cars. It's insane and I really just need it to stop.

I strongly suggest you (right now) explore and practice the feeling of having a reliable car. Clear out whatever you just vented here like sweeping your arm across a tabletop knocking it all off. Then, set up the replacement feeling on this "tabletop" in your mind. Searching further for the meaning if why your car is not reliable is sort of unnecessary because you can get on it now and immediately vibrate as the you who already has a reliable one. Simulate the vibration by playing "make believe" and letting ease set in that is associated with knowing your reliable car is in your driveway/street/garage.

This only works if you somewhat consistently let yourself feel this vibe. You will have it in what seems like no time. You're not stuck. Immediately discontinue identifying as the one whose car gives problems. That's in the past. You see?

Thanks Armine!

See, on a conscious level, I expect my car to work.  I think to myself that I've already had a lifetime's worth of car problems and there just can't possibly be any more issues in store for me.  So I feel like I ALREADY (on a conscious level anyway) have a feeling like I have (or SHOULD have) a reliable car.

My last car was mostly reliable (for a while) until someone hit me and totaled it. So it's not just mechanical problems and the like either.  Now the car I got to replace that one is having issues.  (I've had it just over a month...)  It can also be stupid stuff like locking my keys in the car and having to wait to have it unlocked and stuff like that too. And that kind of stuff always seems to happen when it messes with my work schedule, makes me late and stressed. Heck, I even had someone break into my car and steal some things that were of no real value other than being vital to my job. So it's all kinds of random car related things.

I never feel like I have any feelings about the car UNTIL the problem comes.  Then it's just disbelief.

The reason I feel like the issue isn't really the cars is because if there is any real stress in my life it's my work schedule and money. (I like my jobs but one of them the pay just plain sucks, and my schedule is pretty stressful.)  And again, the car problems just magnify those issues and make them worse.  If I focused on just the car stuff I have a feeling that the stress I'm feeling would just be directed to manifesting something else. So if there is a way to tackle the root I'd rather do that.

Ok cool. Few things Id like to highlight.

So I feel like I ALREADY (on a conscious level anyway) have a feeling like I have (or SHOULD have) a reliable car.

The conscious level is such a small portion of your mental space. Also, the feeling of should have is not the same feeling as having, or even will have, or even seeing yourself having. Very different vibrationally. Looks like your subconscious mind expects car problems, simply bc you are choosing to observe those problems a bit more than exploring feeling like cars now serve you really well, and having a car is a smooth thing for you.

And that kind of stuff always seems to happen when it messes with my work schedule, makes me late and stressed. Heck, I even had someone break into my car and steal some things that were of no real value other than being vital to my job. So it's all kinds of random car related things.

Kazoo! Not random at all! The universe is letting your car be a poem bc you have bad associations with work and don't really enjoy it. It's your subconscious mind keeping you away from that nasty work situation. Might not make logical sense, but it's clear to me now that the universe had been giving you reasons to "get out" of work. And the conscious, logical you was trying to make it to work on time and responsibly, so there's this pronounced gap between what you prefer in your heart and what you think you should be doing as society has taught you.

I never feel like I have any feelings about the car UNTIL the problem comes. Then it's just disbelief.

Well, that's on a conscious level. Beneath that is an expectation that your car gives problems. It's just a cycle and it can be reversed on that level, and your car AND work circumstances turn around.

Thanks again, Armine!

Getting to the subconscious is the real key. Freya brought that up earlier too. I understand that and that's why I made the distinction. I haven't figured out the way to clear the subconscious limiting belief when I'm not really sure what precisely that limiting belief is, or if I'm on the right track here. I do have some ideas about "going general" that I'm thinking about tho.

To be clear, I actually do like my jobs, overall. I have a wonderful boss, great co-workers (lol, even the space cadet I mentioned in another thread. He keeps us entertained.) But I do understand that they are not 100% ideal. Despite enjoying the actual work, as I mentioned the schedule and pay (for one of them) leave a lot to be desired and that often results in stress.

I do try to focus on the positive aspects of my work, but since I put in a lot of hours leaving me physically tired it's often hard to overlook the less than ideal aspects of my schedule when I actually physically feel it. If that all makes sense.

I also try to be philosophical about the low pay for the one job since it is a job I managed to attract doing something I didn't have previous experience with so I try to look at it as a learning opportunity. I dunno if making more of an effort to lessen the tension when it comes to those aspects and focusing more on what I actually enjoy and the positives about my work that it might help ease up the stress in general and stop attracting the car troubles as a result.

i've been re reading this thread, its funny coming back a few months later as i seem to be reading it from a totally different perspective than i did originally..... Page 10 was like wow..... i get it!
