"Manifesting Is Too Hard For Me." To "Why Didn't I Know This Sooner?"

CW: I'll be talking about appearance changes and nail biting. If this makes you uncomfortable, then you can skip the part where I speak about things I manifested unintentionally.

Apologies if the title was too confusing, but I wanted to make this post about manifesting since I feel like I've just had a breakthrough with it recently. But first I want to speak about things that might help other people that feel like manifesting 'isn't their thing'(not it doesn't have to be their go to method for shifting or whatnot, but if they feel like they simply cannot manifest or it's too difficult for them) and they find it to be impossible.

First of all, I recommend hyler's videos on YouTube. Please check them out, especially the ones where she speaks about why manifesting is absolutely true. This doc(CW: Slight cursing) that slade made on YouTube is also immensely helpful. Sammy Ingram's videos on YouTube helped me out as well, I highly recommend her videos on robotic affirming and her recent video about manifesting. I'll give a brief overview of it anyway. Basically, everything is energy, everything that is around us. Everything that we see and perceive is energy that is translated by our senses, To perceive what you want, you need to assume that you have it, and to assume that you have it, you need to give it to yourself in your inner world, and to give it to yourself in the inner world you need to think from the perspective that you already have what you want.

Belief is not what manifests.

For the longest time, I stumbled over these instructions, wondering if I was doing it right. I thought that the key to manifesting was BELIEVING, but the truth is that it is just something that BENEFITS you, that is not manifesting. It is helpful, but it is not needed.

The key to manifesting is PERSISTENCE and REPETITION. Affirm, visualise, script, or use any other method to keep reminding yourself that you have whatever it is that you want. Keep doing that. Every time you get a thought that pops up into your head that does not align with what you're manifesting; first of all, don't worry. It's not wrong or going to ruin your progress. It's natural, and all you need to do is just say, "No, I already have/I got/I am___". That's all. Repeat it twice if you wish. Revise your thoughts. It's not about how long you stay in the state of already having what you want, it matters that you keep coming back to it, you keep coming back to reminding yourself that you already have it. Persist. Fight whatever is not in alignment with your desires.

What truly changed my view on manifesting was knowing that you don't need to believe what you're affirming, scripting, or visualising. I used to think that I couldn't manifest because I couldn't lie to myself, I couldn't lie and say I have shifted to my desired reality before because I haven't, I couldn't lie and say that I got a perfect score in my physics exam because I hadn't. But the truth is, of course, you don't believe what you're manifesting. The whole reason that you're affirming or visualising or scripting or any other method is because you don't have it. That's why belief isn't the key to manifesting.

We are taught that to believe something, evidence is needed. Everything taught in school(can't speak for every school), biology, chemistry, physics, is backed up by tons and tons of experimental evidence. This is empiricism. From the youngest age, we are taught to believe what has evidence, that's why many people think they fail at manifestation. How can you believe something that you have no evidence for?

That's why belief is nothing but a helping tool and what truly helps with manifestation is sticking to the thoughts that align with your manifestations, with thoughts that keep reminding you that you already have what you desire. It starts with YOU, what you THINK. That's why they say being delusional helps. The subconscious does not know what is 'true' it's impressed and creates what you keep repeating and telling it. The process is not affirm, believe, have, the process is affirm, experience, evidence, believe.

You choose an affirmation/visualisation/scenario to script, you repeat it and persist, you keep bringing yourself back to the state where you keep reminding yourself that you already have what you want, you start identifying with the version of you who has that, you experience evidence of what you're affirming(you WILL experience evidence of what you're affirming, there are no buts), you will BELIEVE this because you have experienced evidence and manifesting just keeps getting easier. Ex: I want light brown eyes. I keep reminding myself in my head that I have light brown eyes. Every time I look in the mirror, 'Wait, my eyes are dark brow-' 'Wow, I'm so happy I have light brown eyes.' 'I have light brown eyes.' 'I have light brown eyes.'. Then, one day, you go up to the mirror, and 'Whoah,' my eyes have turned lighter!' You observe this evidence, then you think to yourself 'Oh, my eyes are getting lighter! Of course they're light, that's because I have light brown eyes.'. You keep reminding yourself that you have light brown eyes, you start seeing movement, you start seeing evidence, you start believing and that makes the whole process easier and faster until you don't need to keep reminding yourself you have light brown eyes because you have light brown eyes.

When I tell you that this works, I'm not just saying it because other people have said it. I'm saying it because I was able to recall the experiences I had with this style of thinking, which I will explain right now. Skip this next part if you're squeamish about appearance changes or nail biting.

Things I manifested unintentionally with this mindset.

1) Hair

My hair is a big deal for me. When my hair's not thriving, I'M not thriving. One day I went to get a haircut and I thought I was okay with getting the trim, but the second I came home and tied it into a braid I immediately started sobbing with how short it was. After crying myself to sleep that night, I took a deep breath and told myself that I was going to manifest longer hair. NO MATTER WHAT. I thought that I couldn't manifest during this time cause I couldn't believe what I told myself, but nonetheless, I have never been that motivated towards anything in my life. From that day on I got up and I told myself 'My hair is so long', 'My hair is so long, it's like I never cut it at all', 'How is my hair growing so fast?', 'Dude, my hair literally grew like 10 cm.', 'Omg how is my hair growing so fast?!'. Every time I looked at a reflection of myself or felt my hair on my upper back or saw it in my vision, instead of letting myself think 'Oh man I made a huge mistake' or 'My hair look so short-' NO! 'My hair is so long', 'My hair is literally so long, omg.', 'My hair is so long that my eyes don't even believe it.'

I'm not lying when I tell you I got back my length in WEEKS. Literal WEEKS. 2 or 3. After saying that to myself for so long, it just became something I would keep reminding myself in the background. When I would see my hair getting longer, I would immediately believe my affirmations more and more. Did I believe that my hair was long on the first day? Of course I didn't. Every time I brushed my hair, I would get a dreadful feeling of my heart sinking to the pits of my stomach, but I kept telling myself,'Wow, my hair is getting longer.', 'My hair is literally so long.' In weeks, I had hair that had grown 8-10 cm. I gaslit myself into thinking that it was just because the 'bounce from the hair salon had gone away' and whatever other logical explanation I had, but my hair had grown literally 8-10 cm in 2-3 weeks. One of the biggest things I had manifested all through delusion. This literally proves that you don't need belief. Your 3D could be telling you all sorts of things. You could be feeling all sorts of emotion, but if your thoughts are disciplined and persistent and repetitive, NOTHING can stop what you want from coming to you.

2) Pretty Nails.

When I was a little kid, I was a nail biter. I bit my nails a lot. Now, if you're a nail biter or you were a nail biter, you know that nails get damaged when you bite them, specifically the nail beds. Even if you constantly cut them too short, you can make your nail beds get shorter and shorter. My nails were literally half a centimetre nail bed, and the rest was the free edge. The proportions were totally off even when it didn't grow out of my nail bed, and I did not like the way they looked at all. I was constantly jealous of other people's nails and even the nails of a family member that were the 'perfect' conventionally beautiful long nails with a perfect apex with the most perfect shape ever. Basically, in my eyes, perfect.

But one day, I came across a nail biter that was continuing to bite their nails (I believe they have stopped now), but their nails had taken damage. Their nails were fresh in their damaged state. They were short. I hate saying this now. Please forgive me, but back then, I started to appreciate my nails more after seeing theirs. I know this sounds bad, I'm sorry. I told myself that my nails used to look like that, but they look better now. My nails were growing longer and longer. My nail beds were longer.

Now this was when I was very young, I didn't even know what manifesting was. I also didn't constantly affirm or care much, I wasn't aware of that. I just thought,'Hm, my nails aren't so bad' occasionally. Fast forward a few years later, I was looking down at my nails, and I just thought, wow, they're so pretty. My nails had a longer nail bed, ones that almost covered all of the tip of my nail, like they naturally did. Now I know what you might be thinking. This must be the natural healing process. I used to think that too, but then I realised that when I started telling myself all those years ago that my nails weren't that bad, I had quit nail biting for about 4 years. My nails were not changing at all.But now all of a sudden, my nail beds were longer.

Fast forward about two more years, and my nail beds now grow slightly beyond my finger, and I'm absolutely obsessed and grateful for my nails. I finally think that they're pretty and I love them. I don't hate myself for biting my nails anymore or feel incredibly sad when I look at them. I think my nails are pretty, and they've come an incredibly long way. They're getting better by the day.

Conclusion.

My point is, you won't believe until you experience. If you can do that, that's great, but if you can't, then that doesn't mean that you can't manifest. You CAN. All you need to do is think like the person that already has it. If you had what you wanted, how would you tell a friend that you have it? Great, now keep reminding yourself that in your head. You don't need to tell anyone else because all you're changing when you manifest is yourself. Repeat and persist, flip those thoughts. Your THOUGHTS make your reality, not belief or anything else. You can manifest if you have thoughts and no belief, but from my experience, you can't manifest if you don't align your thoughts but you have belief.

Tip: Stop letting old thoughts that tell you that you don't have your desire get away. Chase them down with your new thoughts that align with what you have. Also, if you believe in this, say your affirmations out loud whenever you can, and you're alone eg. in the shower, before sleep, on a walk. Even if it's a whisper, it activates your throat chakra, and sometimes, when you think off track, you're still repeating your affirmations, and that brings you back. Just a suggestion, thinking in your head works just as well.

If anyone wanted to know, currently I'm reminding myself that all subliminals I listen to are effective for me. Every time I catch myself thinking otherwise, I remind myself that all subliminals work for me, they're effective for me, and all the subliminals I listen to are effective for me.

Thanks for reading.
