Closing the Gap: Becoming a Vibrational Match to What You Want

Have you ever noticed the gap—the space between where you are right now and where you really want to be?

Maybe it’s more money, better health, a loving relationship, or a career that lights you up. You can see it in your mind. You know what you want. But somehow, it feels just out of reach.

Here’s the key: if you’re not yet living what you desire, it doesn’t mean you can’t have it. It means there are contradictions in your energy and emotions that don’t match what you want.

You Can’t Be Rich if You Feel Poor

Think of it this way — you can’t create wealth while feeling broke. You can’t attract love while feeling unworthy. You can’t step into vibrant health while expecting to stay sick.

You can’t be fit and healthy if you feel fat.
You can’t be happy if all your attention is on what’s wrong.
You can’t feel loved if you’re always expecting rejection.
You can’t live in abundance while constantly telling yourself there’s “never enough.”

Your emotions are like a signal you’re broadcasting out into the universe. If you’re tuned to fear, lack, or doubt, you’ll keep pulling in experiences that match those feelings.

This is why your emotions matter so much. They’re not random—they’re showing you whether you’re lined up with what you want or whether you’re pushing it away without even realizing it.

Break the Habit of Being Yourself

Here’s the tough but liberating truth: you can’t stay the same person and have a different life.

If you want things to change, you must change first.
That means shifting your thoughts, your feelings, your expectations, and the story you’re telling yourself about what’s possible.

As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, you have to “break the habit of being yourself.” The self you are right now has created the results you currently see. If you want different results, you need to create a new self who thinks, feels, and believes differently.

The Good News

This isn’t about pretending or forcing fake positivity. It’s about gently shifting your energy, one thought and one feeling at a time, until you begin to embody the version of you who already has what you desire.

When you feel the way you would feel if your dream were already real, you close the gap. You become a vibrational match, and the universe has no choice but to line up circumstances that reflect your new energy.

Try This Simple Exercise

Pick one desire you’d love to experience—a financial breakthrough, a new relationship, vibrant health, or something else close to your heart.

Ask yourself: “If this was already true for me, how would I feel?” Secure? Excited? Free? Loved? Healthy?

Write down 3–5 feelings that come up.

Practice feeling those emotions now. Even if it’s just for a few moments, breathe them in and imagine what it’s like to live as if it’s already here.

The more you practice aligning with the emotions of what you want, the smaller the gap becomes—until one day, you realize you’re living the life you once only dreamed about.

✨ So, what’s your gap? And more importantly, are you ready to close it by becoming a vibrational match to what you desire?

Sending you love & light!

Ready to change your perspective and feel lighter, happier, and more empowered in just 7 days?

What if three simple words could change how you feel… and how you live? “I GET TO…”

I Get To Shift! – 7 Day Challenge 
A gift to help you kick off summer in a higher vibe.

Every day for 7 days, you’ll learn how to shift from “I have to” ➝ “I get to”
…and watch how your mood, energy, and outlook on life transform.

You’ll get:

  • Daily mindset shifts
  • A beautiful printable workbook
  • Simple practices that uplift your emotions + attract more good
  • A deeper connection to gratitude and possibility

Science shows that just 7 days of consistent practice can actually begin to rewire your brain.

How? It all comes down to neuroplasticity—your brain’s incredible ability to change and adapt. Every time you choose a new thought, reaction, or way of seeing something, you’re creating new neural pathways. And when you do that over several days, those pathways strengthen—making it easier to think differently, feel better, and act with more intention.

This challenge is based on the most-loved concept from my book The Appreciation Game: A 30-Day Process to Increase Happiness, Satisfaction & Well-Being. Day Nine – I Get To… This process is the one so many people told me was their favorite and even life-changing. And this 7-Day Challenge is also a sneak peek into my next book, which is all about how shifting your perception changes your life.

I hope you’ll join in this fun experiment in changing perspective & building good feeling momentum!

You get to feel good!

You get to choose your perspective!

You get to start now!
