There is no greater achievement than reaching your ultimate potential. This level of success and personal satisfaction is what everybody is striving for in this world. Getting there, however, can prove more difficult for some, and the biggest obstacles are often created in the mind. Moving beyond them is achievable, but only if you are willing to create a new perspective, one which is able to move the impossible, into the realm of the possible.
You may not have achieved your true potential yet because there is something inside holding you back. Underachievement is common among those that feel a lack of self-worth or pain, in as much as they do not allow themselves to accomplish or create a world they really want.
Using the power of manifestation is a fantastic way to catapult yourself in the direction of success. Getting into the right mindset is crucial when using this process, however, and is where positive thinking can really compliment your progress.
Your actions and words can speak volumes in the world of manifestation. They are your tools for creation, a vehicle that will enable you to build and achieve exactly what you want. Everything that you bring about in life starts out as a thought, so it is important to remember to always make yours positive and rewarding.
Understanding Manifestation & The Law of Attraction
To understand manifestation is to understand the law of attraction. They are essentially the same thing because they both work on creating an outcome that originated in your mind.
The law of attraction philosophy suggests that positive thoughts bring positive outcomes into a person’s life, whilst negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.
It works on the belief, that at base form, all of the things in our universe exist at different frequencies and vibrations, including ourselves and our thoughts. The way that we think, and feel can have a direct impact on our lives, as positive thoughts equate to a higher vibration and a faster frequency.
Like attracts like, in the sense that similar things are attracted to one another. Comparable frequencies are drawn towards each other, just how people tend to attract personalities similar to themselves.
Your vibration has the ability to influence other frequencies, such as people’s feelings and emotions, this is called sympathetic resonance. If you were to ring a musical tuning fork for example and position a silent one next to it, after a few moments, the silent fork will start ringing out to the same tune as the original fork. All frequencies in our universe can have this same effect, and it is the driving force helps us to attract and shape our dreams into reality.
Four Simple Steps to Manifestation
You are always manifesting even if you are not aware of it. Taking control over the process is what makes the big difference between a successful and happy life, and just wishful thinking.
Manifestation requires you to be proactive and it involves more than just positive thinking because you need to transform a dream into reality, so it will take a lot of thought, action, belief, and emotion.
It is crucial that you become clear on what it is that you really want. Try to make your intention as specific as possible. If you want to meet your soulmate, do not just state it as it is. Develop a detailed picture of what that person looks like, thinking about their qualities and characteristics. Don’t feel put off the idea if you are unable to be so specific. Manifestation works fantastically well with feeling and emotion, so instead, order the feeling that you want to have in a relationship. Manifesting with feeling is highly effective.
Once you are clear on your goals, the next step is to ask the universe for what you want. This can be done through prayer, meditation, visualisation, or affirmations. You can also write it down on a piece of paper, sticking it inside your wardrobe door, somewhere you will see it every day.
Now you start working towards your goals. You are a co-creator and you won’t see results without action. Set some time aside to begin thinking about what steps you need to take to reach your goals, then build them into your routine. For example, if you want a major career change, start networking with people in those fields.
Practice gratitude. When you are grateful for what you have, you signal to the universe that it “is allowed” to deliver more of this. Let your subconscious mind know that you love the things you already have! And it will do everything it can to keep it that way and bring more happiness into your life.
Let Go of Resistance & Negativity
Manifestation works on the principle that like attracts like. Negativity will only attract undesirable outcomes, whether that is self-talk, guilt, anger, or jealousy. Ask yourself what is it that you want to achieve, and then ask what it is that is holding you back.
More often than not it will be a negative mindset. You might not believe that you are worthy of success, or you might be allowing bad thoughts to take charge and direct your life in an unwanted direction.
Consciously observe this behaviour next time you are having a bad moment, without judgement, and try to notice what it is that is hindering your success. It could be an emotion, such as fear, or negative statements that you keep on repeating. Whatever the case, you must move past it if you want to manifest positive change into your life.
An effective way of overcoming negative thoughts is to embrace them. This is not a popular approach as it is rarely taught. You have more than likely been conditioned to resist negativity and put all of your insecurities into a box.
Break free of the resistance habit and react differently next time you encounter pain or suffering. The longer you resist, the longer you perpetuate your feelings. You need to do the opposite by welcoming unwanted thoughts and pulling them towards you. Do not try to change them, fix them, or make them go away, just acknowledge them.
When you feel negative emotion building up inside, remember to just allow it. Picture your feelings in front of you as an object and imagine a white light surrounding them. Put your arms around them, pull them close into your chest and give them a hug!
Give it 20 or 30 seconds and notice how differently you feel, if you are still resisting, think of something or someone you love whilst you are still hugging your thoughts. The combination should work, so give it a try.
Let Go of Limiting Beliefs & Allow Yourself Success
One of the main reasons that so many people fail to achieve the success they want, is because they do not allow it to happen. As strange as this may sound, it is very common. When you are trying to manifest your dreams into a reality, you must align yourself with what it is you are trying to succeed in.
Blocking your success is another example of how thought can create an alternative form of reality, with this being a negative one. You might be doing this subconsciously and it is usually down to programming and conditioning. As a result, you might be experiencing feelings of guilt or inadequacy, as though you don’t deserve success. But in order to manifest and materialise you must move beyond this conditioning.
If you feel as though you are not worthy of your intention, it is important to reflect within and find out why you feel this way. You might be surprised to find memories or situations where someone had said something damaging to you or a notion of unworthiness stemming from a particular situation.
Address these areas in your memory as the observer and tell yourself that these have no effect on you now because you are moving beyond these emotions.
It is important to remember, that you have the power to create every possibility, starting out with just a single thought. You are able to change how you feel about yourself and break free of the illusion that you are just ‘little me’ and begin to start making a difference in this world.
Affirmations for Manifestation
Affirmations are a fantastic tool for manifestation and are probably one of the most popular techniques used in the law of attraction. They are the crucial groundwork that is necessary for transforming your dreams into a reality. Affirmations are not only great for self-esteem work but fundamental in forging valuable connections and inviting new opportunities into your life.
You should treat affirmations as an extension of what you are already working on to manifest your new reality. They are a booster because they won’t work without belief and effort. Your vibration has to match your desire, so developing the right attitude is paramount for bringing the two together.
Whatever reality you are working towards, it is important that you transform your mindset from ‘seeing is believing’ to ‘believing is seeing’ in order to move beyond your conditioning and change your sense of what is possible.
Positive affirmations work much like the law of attraction. Thinking positive thoughts will help you to manifest positive outcomes. Start identifying what you want to achieve. It could be developing a positive attitude, securing a new job, or finding true love. You could look at existing affirmations and tweak them to suit your goals or write your own if you want to personalise them.
Once you have decided on your affirmations, repeat them every day for five minutes. Visualise your goals and really try to feel the feeling of accomplishment, as though you have already achieved it.
Here are some affirmations that you can use to get you started:
- I trust the Universe. It gives me exactly what I need at exactly the right time.
- Everything works out perfectly for me. I am creating my dream life.
- I’m worthy enough to follow my dreams and manifest my desires.
- I am abundant in my finances, in happiness, and in love.
- My intentions for my life are clear.
