In this instructional video, Aaron Doughty outlines the three most common obstacles that prevent people from effectively using the Law of Attraction and provides practical methods to overcome each. He begins by explaining that our external reality mirrors our internal beliefs, so changing beliefs changes our experience. The first block is the personal narrative we tell ourselves—stories of victimhood, inadequacy, or fixed roles—that shape our expectations and actions. Aaron shares his own childhood trauma as an example, then describes how awareness, intentional release, and repetitive rewiring can replace limiting stories with empowering ones. The second block is attachment to specific outcomes and rigid expectations, which creates resistance because the ego imposes a single blueprint for success. He advises trusting the process, staying present, and feeling the emotions of already having the desire, thereby allowing the higher self or universe to manifest in more fluid ways. The third block involves the definitions and labels we assign to events; labeling something a “block” reinforces its power, while reframing it as an opportunity or lesson changes the experience. Aaron emphasizes that these three blocks are interrelated and that shifting stories, expectations, and definitions rewires the subconscious. To support this transformation, he offers a free MP3 meditation designed to reprogram the subconscious mind, encouraging listeners to use it nightly. The video concludes with typical YouTube calls to action.

This video will show you the 3 biggest blocks to the law of attraction, how you can overcome them and really achieve what you want in life. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to be sharing with you the most common blocks that I see people have with the law of attraction. It's also some of the things that I've experienced in my own life that as I overcame these and As I'm overcoming them now, because there's always things that are, you know, kind of being brought to the forefront when it comes to the subconscious mind, this is something that I can then, you know, work through and then share with you guys some of those things that I've learned. Now understand that we always get a reflection of who we are being when it comes to the law of attraction. We always get a reflection of what we define to be true. Most of the things in our life, if not all the things in our life, are actually a reflection of our beliefs. So when we change our beliefs, we change the reflection. Now that's important to understand because of the context of the kind of the way I'm going to be explaining this video. And the first one, the first block that a lot of people experience, including myself, and I've had to overcome, is the story that I tell myself. And it's maybe the story that you tell yourself as well. Every single one of us has a certain story. Think of it like a, the narrator of a movie, for example. You are the narrator of your own movie. You are the director, the co-writer, all of this of your own movie. Now, the story we tell ourselves of how things have been in the past will normally be something we perpetuate into the future unless we become aware of what we're thinking, which is great that, you know, we're having this conversation right now because you most likely are already aware of what you're thinking if you're here watching my videos because almost all my videos are on the law of attraction and conscious awareness. So that's already a step ahead of most people because most people are in the autopilot mind and they're just doing the same thing every single day and they have no awareness that their thoughts influence their experience. So you're already ahead, a step ahead of the game. Now the next part of it though is understanding what story are you telling yourself? Do you have a story that says that maybe you were a victim growing up and things always happen to you? And it's hard for you to get out of the rut, or, you know, things just aren't always going your way. You know, there's so many different narrative stories that come with it, a whole bunch of beliefs inside of it. You know, some of us tell ourselves a story that we have to always be a fixer-upper with people. We always have to fix people and help them, and as soon as we're done helping them, we move on to the next person. You know, that's a common story that we tell ourselves. Uh, there's, there's, there's so many different narrative stories, you know, that they could be called archetypes. These are— there's certain stories that we all tell ourselves in certain retrograde or retrograde and certain steps or steps and certain ways. And because of that, that's something that we need to become more aware of. Now, I growing up had a certain story and I'm sure many of you guys know if you guys watch my daily videos, I've talked about it before, but I grew up with an abusive stepmom who was in my life between the ages of being 9 to 15 and my dad was a firefighter who was gone 24 hours a day, so she was very manipulative. Me and my brother were working outside all the time. We weren't allowed to have friends, weren't allowed to watch TV. We weren't allowed to eat very much and we weren't— because we weren't allowed to have friends, it was hard for us to socialize. You know, we went to school every day, but we weren't allowed to really ever hang out outside of school. So all of a sudden 15 comes around, my dad divorces her. All of a sudden we have all this freedom and, um, for years I carried around a story that said that I wasn't good enough. I carried around this story of, uh, why did this victimization type thing happen? I carried around the story of, uh, almost kind of like fear because I was so controlled for a certain aspect of my life. It was weird to walk around and feel that freedom. And that was the story I tell myself, right? And I had to really learn how to be and feel worthy of myself. And that eventually was one of the best things that ever happened to me because eventually it led me to my spiritual awakening. It led me to understanding more about how my thoughts correlate with my experience, how to remain positive in each situation. I would say that most people that meet me can tell I have such a positive outlook and like a positive vibe. And that's most likely because I went through so much pain growing up that that's why I am the way I am now. But see, that's the story that I tell myself and that's something that becomes my experience in life. Now I've noticed that with the story also comes the awareness that we can change our story at any time. Look at your story and look at the, consistent things that happen in your life. You know, you know your story based on your surroundings and what your experiences. And when you look around, you can see that there may be some things you don't really prefer to have in your life. And as you look around at those, you can decide, is this something I prefer to be part of my story or is this something that I want to let go of? Now with the awareness, you can decide to consciously let it go by just deciding to consciously let it go. You know, I remember a quote, I think it was in The Power of Now, and it was talking about how do you How do you let go of all these negative thinking or negative thoughts? And the answer is like, well, how do you let go of a rope that's pulling you and starting to like get friction in your hands and it's starting to give you blisters? How do you let go of a hot coal? Just by dropping it, right? You just had to make a decision. It's really just a decision. I'm deciding to let go of this story that I tell myself and understand that what comes along with that is then repetition of wiring in a new story and doing something different than you would normally do under the old narrative. So this requires repetition. This requires us to go out and actually tell ourselves a new story. You know, I also have a story, a story of when I was talking about when I was like 12 years old and I went to some summer camp and some girl rejected me that was 18 years old because I wanted to dance with her. I then told myself a story that I wasn't worthy. And what, how could I get out of that story? Well, I had to take action and push myself to talk to girls I was attracted to. I had to push myself to then break outside of that bubble, and as I did that with repetition, eventually I got through that and I let go of that story. I realized with the awareness it's just one situation, and as I did that, that's when everything began to change. Now that's something that you can change. You can change your story by becoming aware of what your story is, deciding with intention to let it go, and then wiring in a new story, new thought process, new neural connections in the brain. And as you do that, Everything will begin to change. Now, the second thing that blocks most people when it comes to law of attraction is expectation and attachment to outcome. Now, the reason I say this is because when we develop an expectation, when we persist that, you know, something that has to happen, we end up also getting resistance because we and our ego mind believe that there's a blueprint that we have to follow. And if we follow that blueprint, everything goes according to plan, we can be happy. We can feel like the law of attraction is working, but here's the key and here's the kicker. We must understand that the best case scenario that our ego can imagine is only the floor for our higher self. We can call it our higher self, the universe, whatever label we want to give it. And when we start to have this perspective, we see we're actually limiting ourselves by saying, I want to get from here to here and the only way I can do that is this way. We're limiting ourselves from actually the quicker ways that could go around that and that could get through those blocks and get through those ways. So this is about having that awareness and trusting the process. Anytime something happens in your life, have it become a part of the process integrated into the experience. And as you do that, you find that it starts to kind of dissolve. It starts to become a part of the experience rather than it being, you know, a wrench being thrown in the gears. So that's a new perspective, but it's something that's so powerful when it comes to this. Understand that you can trust the process. It's not all up to your ego mind to figure out how to do everything. It's about being present to the moment, not, you know, needing that external circumstance to make you feel whole and complete. You are already whole and complete. So having that perspective and that frame as you go into the experience will allow you to feel more of the emotions of already having what you want. So that then you experience what you want. We always get a reflection of who we are being and we will always resonate with those experiences, so we must really tap into that resonance. Now, the third block that people experience with the law of attraction is the definitions. This is something I normally talk about in my videos, is something that I think is so powerful. If something happens and we automatically define it as a block, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. But instead of a block, what if it was an opportunity? What if it was a new perspective? What if we said to ourselves going into it, I'm going to learn something from this. I'm going to have a new perspective as to how I can mold this and kind of, you know, have this become a part of my experience. And as we do that, we start to get the self-fulfilling prophecy of that helping us, of that being something that works well for us. So definitions create our reality. Become aware of what you define to be true. What labels you might have. You might be saying that this is also very connected to the first one of the story we tell ourselves because we'll have certain definitions and labels that we naturally attach to, but let go of labels and definitions that no longer serve you. You know, if we believe that we're a victim, if we believe that things are always happening to us in a way that's not something we prefer, be aware of what those definitions are. If we catch ourselves with these things, with thoughts that we have that say and negate what we want to experience, become aware of what those definitions are and then reframe them. And as you do that, you find that you get a new type of experience. Is it— does it have to be really hard to do something? If we define it to be hard, then it will be hard. Does it have to be something that we really have to try to do? If we have to try, we imply resistance, then we will have to try. Try to do it, but why can't we just do it? If we just define it that way, that's when we really begin to experience it. So our definitions are something that's so powerful for this whole process. And remember, it's just, it's about the story we tell ourselves. The story we tell ourselves is going to be something that always plays itself out. We can change our past and change the potentials of our future by looking at our past in a new way, by letting it go. You know, most of our life is run by our subconscious mind. And that's why, that's why I created the meditation that you'll find below. There's a free MP3 meditation that reprograms the subconscious mind that will allow you to increase the emotion, that will allow you to have a new self-image. And that's why I created it so that you can listen to it before you go to bed to really reprogram your subconscious mind in a powerful way so that you become the kind of person that you want. So if you want to infuse that into your daily routine as well, some you can download below and then you could listen to that every day and apply that as a tool for doing so. Remember, the second thing is outcome dependence. Let go of the outcome. Trust the universe. Know that as you trust the universe, you're saying yes to yourself. You're starting to create from a much deeper place and that then you'll start to really live to your full potential rather than just the ego potential. And then thirdly, let go of the definitions you tell yourself. Become aware of what those labels are, and as you let that go, everything will change.
