When you’ve spent years in survival mode, abundance can feel unsafe. Ken shares why “baby steps” are life-changing and recommends using the tools in his manifestation book—like resentment lists and journal work—to safely dismantle the protective walls that are now keeping you limited.

Ken Daigle:
I recommend diving into the shifting of consciousness.

So if you’ve been in survival mode, if you’ve been traumatized, as many have and I have, you build these walls to protect yourself, and they were useful when you were in that moment. And if you’ve ventured beyond that, now that you’re recognizing desires for something greater, those things that used to protect you now keep you limited.

So being able to dive into the processes and the processes of shifting your consciousness, the journal work, the resentment lists, the levels of consciousness, and look at how you’re operating, excuse me, and where you want to go is really important work.

Now, I want to be really clear, I did not do this alone. I had great teachers, I had great ministers, I had great therapists. I had great support, sponsors in my recovery groups and 12-step groups, all of which helped me to overcome some of those traumas and some of those barriers I had erected. And to be honest, a lot of the self-sabotage I was doing to be able to get to a place where I was able to receive and create good in my life.

And so I would say, Baby steps are not small for the baby. Baby steps are incredibly life-changing. So wherever you are, take the next incremental step that you can do to move forward and to shift from what is to what could be one step at a time. And that’s actually how everything has changed. You know, James Clear, Atomic Habits, all the research on that now, every change we occur in life is incremental. And that’s why the book’s laid out over time. That’s why it takes a process to change. It’s like there is no wholesale instantaneous change. All change is incremental. And then you look back and go, wow, I got here so quick. Right.
