I've been on a manifesting journey for years now, and sometimes it's frustrating, especially when you want something SO bad and it doesn't show up. You've done all your manifestation methods and affirmations but your manifestation are no where to be seen. You get discouraged (rightly so) but that doesn't mean that law of attraction/law of assumption doesn't work. In fact, let me say this right now if you're feeling discouraged DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

You're not manifesting what you want, but why?????

i'll tell you why.

You're trying too hard. You can't TRY and manifest anything. as a wise Yoda once said, "Do or do not, there is no try". Let's say you want a purple lambo (Because honestly, same), you can't try and manifest the Lamborghini. If you do try, it'll never happen because by trying you are automatically sending the message to the universe that you don't have it. If you had what you wanted, you wouldn't need to try to do anything, would you?

Now, this isn't to say that methods and affirmations don't work because they do, it's just you need to have the right mind set. Use them as a reminder of what you already have. When you say an affirmation or do a manifestation method, focus on the gratitude. If you use methods to try and manifest, you never will because you'll always be stuck in the state of TRYING instead of HAVING.

Got it?

So, take some time off and re-evaluate your desires. If you're doing methods or affirmations or subliminals or whatever, look at your mindset. Are you using these things to try and get something? Or are you using them as a reminder to be grateful for you desires that you know you already have. (Law of assumption anyone?)

Stop trying to do anything. How would you feel if you already had you desires? Happy? Confident? Be in that state. think from that state. act from that state and the physical reality MUST reflect your inner world and desires.

Your attention is your super power. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. Sounds familiar? Whatever you focus on expands. this means, if you're constantly focusing on what you don't have, you'll continue to manifest more of that (which is not having). I know, i know, doesn't sound fair, but that's the way it is.

So, it doesn't matter how much time you spend on affirmations and manifestation methods, if you're focusing on the lack, you won't be able to manifest what you want.

So how do you overcome this?

Focus on what you want. I know you've heard this before, but it's a million percent true. If you focus on your desires, they will expand and manifest in your life.

I know it's easier said then done, sometimes I still struggle with this (who am I kidding, I struggle with this pretty much all the time). I mean, how could it not be a struggle? We've grown up being told that our outward reality is the true reality. But it's not, is it?

Your inner world is explosive, expansive and so very creative. Anything you can imagine, it's yours baby.

But how do you get it?

That's the funny thing. You can't.

You can't GET anything because by being in the process of GETTING you will never be in the state of HAVING.

Make sense?

Let's do a little exercise to help you manifest.

Manifestation Exercise

Imagine what you want to manifest as clearly as you can. Regardless of what you want, a home, a car, beauty, money, love, whatever it is, imagine it SO clearly that it feels like you could reach out and touch it.

Emotionally feel it as clearly as you can. it may take a while to feel something, but try and imagine the feelings of joy and gratitude you would feel if you had your desires

Stay in this state with your eyes closed for a bit. Put on some music if that helps. After you have a firm grip on that feeling, slowly open your eyes. Try to keep the imagine in your mind even as you open your eyes.

Stay in the feeling of already having your desires and start acting like the person you would be if you did have these desires.

Receive them in the physical reality (It's only a matter of time babe)

If you find yourself focusing on the lack again, mentally smack yourself, shut your eyes and bring back that mental image of your desires.

Your mind is SO powerful, which means YOU are so powerful. Which means: What are you still doing here? Go manifest your dreams!

Yes, you are!

Why are you relying on the outside world for your happiness? Why are you waiting to have something before you live your best life now??? Whatever you want, you already have! From the moment you had the desire, it's yours.

So act like you have it! How would you act, who would you be? More importantly, how would you feel?

YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING!!!!! Has it sunk in yet??? That's how powerful you are. So stop trying to get anything. What sense does that make? You already have everything babes!

If it's helpful, think of it like this. You've ordered a package from Amazon. Now, you know you're getting whatever you ordered. You might not know how long it'll take but your not stressed about it because you know that one of these days it's going to be delivered to your front door.

That's the mentality you need to have with the universe. Act as if, and the universe will deliver.

It's the Law of Assumption!

Happy Manifesting!

Step 1. Set your intention

Step 2. Be grateful for your desires and decide it's yours
