what do you do between the affirmation and the outcome?
part one â linked here â not required to read, but heavily recommended by yours truly.
you affirmed. maybe in your head, maybe out loud, maybe barely whispering it into something such as your pillow.
"i'm in my dr" / "i have what i want" / "it's already done."
however it came out, you did it, you chose. and now.... what? what do you do after? alright, you said it, maybe you even meant it, you felt kind of good about it, maybe even a little proud or relaxed or still, but now you're just sitting there.
blinking. wondering if something's supposed to happen.
maybe wondering if the air is about to shift (ha), or if your bed is going to turn into your own specialised limousine or if someone is going to come knock on the door and hand you your desire wrapped in one big red bow.
and, let's in this case and scenario say that nothing happens, or at least it doesn't look like it does.
let me discuss the space AFTER the assumption, aka the in between aka the what now. because ! maybe people don't talk about it, but everyone did feel it at once:
you said it â why is nothing occurring?
let me be the first one, or maybe even not, god knows, to say it. there is nothing wrong with that little in between space, simply because it's not a test or a delay. what i would call it, is the specific moment where you decide not to switch back to your previous assumption.
you're staying. staying rooted in your assumption.
you already moved the needle when you said it, right? the moment you affirmed, the shift happened, because attention moves fast.
you now, in this in between space, are letting your awareness stay where you already told it to go.
your desire, your desire, wherever, doesn't matter. but you're telling it where to go.
so between the staying and the seeing, what you do is ........ nothing. or at least, in more simplistic, not - overcomplicated terms, you keep acting as if it has happened.
you stop checking, and you stop entertaining the idea that you might NOT be there.
when, maybe, you see the world not shifting around you in a way that's instant or impressive or movie worthy, you do not take that as a sign that it doesn't work, or that you now have to scream at a cloud calling yourself a failure.
what i believe happens between the affirmation and the occurance is that you give yourself no reason to look back, and so......you don't wait, and you don't hunt for proof, and you don't poke at it to make sure that it's alive.
not babysitting your manifestation to maturity as if it's going to wander off and die if you don't keep it in your sightline.
it won't. your subconscious is that powerful.
you, simply, because it is simple like that, assume that it is handled.
you said it, so now it is.
yes, sometimes, perhaps, your brain will flicked and sometimes you'll want to double check, and sometimes your eyes - they will land on something in your physical world and immediately start categorising it, declaring that as real and your assumption as failure.
and you know what? that's fine.
don't fight that thought, and don't crash out into immediately damage control.
" regardless, i'm already in my dr. " // " regardless, i already have my desire. "
during that space between the affirmation and the shift is not an active zone, and therefore you don't have to do anything there except not contradict what you've already decided. which is actually easier than it sounds, if you simply stop trying to prove something to yourself every other five minutes.
your mind is used to earning, to fixing, to checking. and you can let it be loud if it wants to be loud.
but, remember, your awareness goes only where you dictate it to.
you've already done the one thing that matters, you affirmed, and you chose.
so maybe you make breakfast, dinner, lunch, whatever. maybe you text someone back, maybe you go for a walk, or rewatch a show, or sit on the floor, or do absolutely nothing.
but whatever you're doing, you don't start playing detective again, and you don't search the room for clues, glimpses, to see if it's working.
what you do between the affirmation and the occurrence is exactly what you'd do AFTER the occurrence, if you really assumed it happened.
you live and you move and you think whatever you think, and you don't attach meaning to every flicker of doubt or slowness or quiet.
now let me pivot a bit, and go back to what my entire account is focused on anyway. choice.
you get to decide what the in between is like. you could assume i'm doubting, i'm feeling normal, and i'm still there, and that will become the truth.
you don't have to built up enough capital of faith and only then you're allowed to pass through the door.
the moment one decides their destiny, they're on the track. so, if you say i'm there, even if i feel unsure, you're still there, why? simply because you're the one writing, producing, and airing the terms.
because, if you're the operating power, which you are, by the way, then you're also the one who decides whether this part, this middle part, counts or not.
whether this is a build up or a a simple backdrop.
whether you're seated in a waiting room or the actual place.
and you're allowed to pick. always.
if you choose that this is what living there feels like, then that's what it is.
you don't have to keep apologising to yourself every time you slip or wobble or 'get thrown off' your path.
a simple this is what living there looks like today will be the truth. because as awareness goes, it will follow your word.
so if you say, even this counts, then it does.
so actually, maybe even throw this whole post away. what you do between the decision and the manifestation is ..... entirely up to you. you can let it doubt, and you can let it be certainty, and you can let it be whatever. but you can still be there.
you can live with the questions and still be living in the answer.
