I. INTRODUCTION

As the title suggests, this is a challenge! I think it may be my first challenge that I have ever posted, but it came to me on a whim, and I wanted to do it myself, so I thought I would share it with all of you so we could do it together! I’m sure a few of you have heard of the 75 Hard challenge. It’s a challenge where people read, exercise, drink water, and eat well for 75 days, pushing themselves to be responsible and finally stick to good habits for a limited period of time. A lot of people have had success with this type of challenge, including myself a few years ago. Recently, I’ve seen many people relate this kind of challenge to other tasks, such as getting out of a reading slump, so I thought, why not make one for manifestation?

Personally, I will be doing this challenge to get out of my own personal manifestation slump that I’ve been in for a while. Many of you know that I’ve been on this website for years now, practicing manifestation for even longer, and I know all of your struggles. I know them because I have been through them myself. Just because I have a blog teaching about my own experience and the law through the lens of Neville and Edward Art doesn’t mean I haven’t been where you are, struggling to believe and succeed. The only differences are my loyalty to the law, belief due to my own experiences, and confidence in my knowledge. I have gone through subliminal phases, law of attraction (Esther/Abraham Hicks and the Secret) phases, tarot and witchcraft phases, and then finally my Neville Goddard/tumblr phase. Through each of those phases, I had successes and struggles all the same. But despite “failing,” I still retained faith in the law, because I knew exactly what I did wrong whenever I failed. It all came down to a lack of confidence in myself, and therefore a lack of confidence in the law. Despite having countless success stories, when it came time to manifest “bigger” things, or things I had anxiety, fears, or insecurities around, I would waver. I would doubt myself, doubt the law, and then leave it all behind, succumbing once again to the whims of the 3D world. But as you can see, especially if you read my post about failure, it all comes down to my own fears, my own beliefs, and my lack of persistence in the law. The law is real, and the law never fails, so when you lack faith, persistence, and stubbornness, then you will experience what you consider to be “failure.” But I want to change that for you today. By February next year (assuming you will begin today or in the next few days from posting this), you will have overcome your era of “failure” and begun to truly build your belief in the law of assumption. Once you have faith, nothing can stand in your way. And lucky for you all, I have actual steps to follow. 

Just a quick reminder before we begin: methods are simply methods. They are avenues you use to reach that point where you believe your desires are already true and already yours. You and your imagination hold the power. So, it doesn’t matter if you affirm, visualize, or simply decide that your desires are yours. Do what makes you happy, do what makes you feel confident, and always remember that you hold the power, not your methods. 

II. LAW BASICS AND REFRESHERS

I know that many of you have read and reread this information countless times. I just want to make sure that everyone who attempts this challenge has all the necessary information in order to succeed in the challenge.

First of all, the law of assumption is the law that states: what you assume to be true, will be reflected back to you through the world around you. This means, if you believe that the sky is blue, because that’s all it’s ever been and all anyone has ever told you, then it shall be blue in your world. The same goes for any subject. If you believe you are beautiful, that is what will be true in the world around you. If you believe you get good grades, if you believe that you are wealthy, if you believe your parents are nice to you, etc., it will all be confirmed and reflected toward you as truth. The same happens for negative things, however. If you have grown up thinking that you cannot make friends, then that will be your reality. If you believe that your crushes never like you back, or that you’re not worthy of being wealthy or famous or talented, then that will also be reflected back to you. Your beliefs and your imagination hold an immense amount of power in this regard. This is why we must use it to our advantage.

Just because you have circumstances in your life that are unfavorable or that you dislike, doesn’t mean that they cannot change. Everything, even the biggest, most terrifying thing in your life, can be changed simply with your imagination. The best part is, though, that you don’t have to do much in order to change it. Think about this: when you’re trying to change something or someone in your life, it seems difficult. Think about trying to convince someone of something, or trying to buy a house, or get a job. It seems hard at first, right? Maybe you feel stress or frustration at the simple mention of the problem. Maybe whatever you want to change makes you feel afraid. This is because you are trying to change the mirror instead of the source. Imagine trying to get a hair off your face by only touching the mirror in front of you. It won’t work because you’re not actually reaching the true source of the problem. Your imagination is the source (or the cause), and your physical world is the reflection (or effect).

Now, think about this: If I ask you to imagine an apple, that’s easy, right? Now, if I ask you to imagine a 5 dollar bill, also easy. Well, how about piles of money that go up, reaching the ceiling? That’s easy, too. You can conjure up and see anything and everything in your mind’s eye with no effort, no asking permission, and no asking if you’re worthy. It’s there for the imagining. It is also there for the taking. There are no limits in your imagination, so why would there ever be limits on your physical world? Everything you experience in the physical has once been imagined in your mind. Therefore, anything is possible, and anything can be manifested.

The most common methods for manifesting are affirmations and visualization. Affirmations are short phrases that are in the present tense. You repeat these to help you believe that you already have what you desire. An example can be: I have long, healthy hair, or I am wealthy. Then, Visualizations are short, imaginal acts where you imagine yourself after you have already achieved what you desire. For example, if you want to manifest a new car, you can imagine a short scene of you getting into and starting up your dream car. Easy peasy.

Once you do any method, and feel yourself into the belief that you already have what you want, then you simply have to persist in that belief. This means you have faith that what you did (saying your affirmations, visualizing, or doing any other method) is a real and valid experience, which means that, therefore, you will have that experience in your physical world as well. You remain stubbornly faithful no matter what happens. Even if someone says that you can’t have it, even if people call you delusional, even if people say it’s impossible, and even if it seems like you’re failing (yes, even then!) you will remain faithful and continue persisting. No. Matter. What.

And that’s all there is to know (in terms of the basics) about manifestation!

III. STEPS

DECIDE NOW THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Everyone is constantly wanting things. Think about your own life, I’m sure you know someone who has always wanted to quit their job and change careers. Maybe they want to go back to school. Maybe they want to find their significant other. But no matter how much they think they want this thing, they never do anything about it. Nothing ever changes. This is because they don’t actually want to change. They are afraid to leave their comfort zone, no matter how uncomfortable it is. Your friend may want to become an actress, but does she ever truly believe she can become one? Your friend may want to earn more money, but does their salary ever change? People are scared of letting go of their current lives and circumstances because they are afraid of the unknown. They are afraid of experiencing something different from what they are currently going through. 

To change and break this cycle, you have to fall in love with your desire so deeply, so stubbornly, that you are willing to let go of your current life, circumstances, and state to make it happen. It is uncomfortable, it is scary, but it is necessary. You have to actually want to change. Think about your own desires, especially the ones that feel more “difficult” to manifest or achieve. Do you actually want it? Does it burn so deeply within you that you will do just about anything to get it? Allow yourself to fully want to change. Fall deeply in love with your desires and allow them to take hold. Many people feel embarrassed or full of shame or like they don’t deserve their desires, which holds them back from actually wanting them. Let go of these feelings. You do not need to be “worthy” or “deserving” to get what you want. You simply have to get yourself to believe you already have them, and they will be yours.

2. MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO MANIFEST

Once you allow yourself to finally want your desires, I want you to make a list (I don’t care how long it is, it could be 5239 pages long, just do it!) of everything you want to manifest within these 75 days. Some examples can be: a better salary, your desired face, your dream body, to be taller, to live in a different city, a Chanel bag, to get into Yale, to graduate with honors, to shift to your desired reality, to win millions of dollars, or even to manifest telepathy (NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE SO ALLOW YOURSELF TO DREAM BIG). Allow yourself to include things that even you have considered to be impossible or difficult. I want you to finally start dreaming bigger for yourself. Instead of manifesting that mediocre job with a mediocre salary, manifest having your own million-dollar business that runs itself while you live in luxury. Think big!

3. WRITE AFFIRMATIONS FOR EACH OF THEM (I HAVE… I AM… I BELIEVE…)

Then, for each of your desires, or even for certain groups of your desires (such as dream body, dream career, dream life, dream love/SP, etc.), create affirmations. I have made a template on which you can print and write down as many affirmations as you want. Try to start each of them with I am, I have, I believe, etc. This way, you keep them in the present tense, as if you already had them. 

Note: Writing the affirmations is optional. If you want to skip this step, you can move on to the visualization step (or skip that one, too, I’m not strict!). I know that not everyone likes affirmations, so make this section of the challenge your own!

Examples could include: I have long, healthy hair. I am 5’7. I live in a multi-million-dollar penthouse in New York City. I am a famous actress. I look like Kendall Jenner. I have millions of dollars in multiple bank accounts. I believe that I am deserving of everything I could ever want. 

4. CREATE VISUALIZATION SCENES FOR EACH OF THEM

You can do this step with or without doing the previous step (or you can skip it as well, all up to you!). Once you write the list of everything you want, I want you to create an imaginal act that suggests you already have what you desire. You can include multiple manifestations in one imaginal act, or you can make separate imaginal acts for each. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. Just make sure that they are short, to the point, and that they take place the moment after you already have your desires. 

So, for example, if you are manifesting a multi-million dollar penthouse in New York City, create a visual image of yourself relaxing in your dream apartment, looking out onto the city skyline. Feel yourself really there, and if you want, include your other desires, such as your dream SP being there with you. Keep it to only a few seconds long, so that you can loop it in your mind until it feels real, or you fall asleep, whichever comes first!

More ideas if you don’t like affirmations or visualizing: 

Find subliminals related to your desires and listen to them. 

Make an audio of you saying your affirmations, loop them, and then listen to them while you sleep. 

Instead of creating a visual act, create an auditory act, meaning you’ll hear someone talking about you or to you about manifesting your desires (ex., you overhear your friends talking about you dating your celeb SP). 

Simply decide (or intend) you have your desires and persist in them, meaning you remain faithful and stubborn that they will happen no matter what.

5. DECIDE NOW, PROMISE YOURSELF, AND MAKE A PACT THAT YOU WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THESE IMAGINAL ACTS AND AFFIRMATIONS. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, THAT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF. NOTHING ELSE.

Basically, persist and stay stubborn. I have a contract for you to print and sign to remind yourself that you must remain persistent during these next 75 days. You are making a promise to yourself. Remember, no one can do this for you. Only you have the power to change your life. If you truly want to manifest and change your life, you need to do this for yourself. Fall in love with yourself and be so faithful to yourself that you will follow through on your promise to yourself. You have no choice, because you love yourself so deeply.

6. CONTINUE TO READ AFFIRMATIONS/VISUALIZE/DO WHATEVER METHOD YOU FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE WITH FOR 75 DAYS.

During these next 75 days, continue doing the method (or multiple methods) you have chosen to do. If that’s reading affirmations, read them daily (no need to “saturate your mind” or overdo it). Actually feel the truth in your affirmations when you read, recite, or listen to them. If it’s visualizing, keep returning to your imaginal act daily, even if it’s for 5 minutes out of your day. If it’s subliminals, listen to them whenever you feel the need to return to the state. 

It can be as simple as remembering you are remaining faithful to your desires. If you waver, relax, meditate, take a nap, do something that makes you happy, and then return when you feel better. I’m not asking for perfection, I’m not asking for total 100% belief, I’m asking you to give it an honest try. Believe in yourself, believe in the law, and be stubborn. Don’t take no for an answer. Be brazenly impudent. And if you need motivation, listen to Edward Art on YouTube, read Neville’s lectures or books, or return to your favorite manifestation posts on Tumblr. However, I do suggest that you avoid scrolling and overconsuming during this time. I want you to focus solely on applying the law and completing each of these steps to the best of your ability.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS: YOU ARE POWERFUL, YOU CAN MANIFEST ANYTHING (EVEN THE “IMPOSSIBLE”), YOU DESERVE THIS, IT DOES NOT TAKE 75 DAYS TO MANIFEST--THIS IS JUST A CHALLENGE TO STAY LOYAL TO THE LAW FOR 75 DAYS. YOU MAY GET EVERYTHING THE FIRST DAY, FIRST WEEK, FIRST MONTH. IT DOESN’T MATTER. STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW THEY WILL COME. THEY WILL COME. FIGURING OUT HOW IS NOT YOUR JOB. FOCUS ON BEING READY FOR THEIR ARRIVAL, MEANING YOU WILL BE READY. YOUR VISUALIZATION SHOULD BE YOU ALREADY HAVING WHAT YOU DESIRE, MEANING THAT’S HOW YOU WILL BE WHEN IT COMES. YOU WILL BE RELIEVED, CALM, EXCITED, HAPPY, NATURAL, ETC. IT DOESN’T MATTER. AS LONG AS YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE IT (EVEN FOR ONE MOMENT) YOU HAVE ENTERED THE STATE AND BY REMAINING FAITHFUL TO WHAT YOU DID (YOUR IMAGINAL ACT), YOU WILL RECEIVE IT, BY LAW.

IV. OUTRO

Now that you have read through this entire document, I want you to sign the contract and promise yourself that you will try your best to follow this challenge. Remember not to put too much pressure on yourself. I created this so that you can have fun and enjoy manifesting your dream life. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I know that this will help those of you who have been asking “how to apply with steps” every so often. I know that my neurodivergent followers need some extra structure, and as someone who feels that everyone can manifest and should have access to the law of assumption, I wanted to make it as clear as I possibly can. Of course, if anything is unclear or doesn’t make sense, always feel free to send me an ask. Now you have a step-by-step routine to follow, and if you decide to do it, I expect you to give it your all. I’m grateful for your willingness to try, and I wish you all good luck!
