Focus to make yourself believe

I cannot stress this enough, the only way to make yourself believe in the law and your own power, is to test it. You can watch a hundred videos, and read countless articles, but the only way to strengthen your belief and ability to manifest, is to implement the teaching into your daily life. Even Neville Goddard stresses the importance of testing the law for yourself.

The technique you use does not matter, use whatever works for you and makes you dwell in the wish fulfilled, like your desire is already yours. For me, a strict mental diet and affirmations are the most effective, but I know people that get great results from visualising, SATS and meditation. The main thing is to practice whatever technique you have selected on a regular basis. The aim of the technique is to impress your subconscious mind and accept your desire as your new reality. Repetition and persistence are the key.

Remember you have been manifesting your whole life. So, I believe you don’t have to do anything, that you didn’t do before. Don’t fall into the trap of developing unnecessary limiting beliefs, that you must do X, Y or Z otherwise you won’t be able to manifest. I personally don’t refer to my desires as big or small either, that in my eyes is another limitation. Manifesting is manifesting, you can have any desire just as easily.

I would suggest looking at your current situation, even if it is not desired. How did you manifest it? The likelihood is you built a narrative of a story in your head, repeated it over and over, until it caused you anxiety and in turn made you overthink the situation even more, and then it manifested into your reality, right? Therefore, to manifest your desire, you must do the same thing in reverse. Create a new story, repeat it over and over, then live in the end until it manifests into your reality.

Living in the end means embodying the person you would be if you already had your desire, using your imagination and new story to get into that feeling of knowing your desire is already yours. Ignore the 3D reality and stay true to your desire.

“What would you feel like if now you were the man that you want to be? How would you see the world if things were as you desire them to be? Now, this is what I mean by “living in the end.’” Neville Goddard

Always remember the current reality is just an echo of your past thoughts.

Personally, I don’t think you can mess with the middle either. I have manifested so many things by manifesting in stages. For example, if you’re manifesting money and you’re affirming you’re a millionaire, but your bank balance is in overdraft. For your mind to accept you’re a millionaire, it may take time and convincing and there will be an uphill struggle against your current beliefs but if you affirm, you’re receiving $5000 that may be more convincing to you and easier for the mind to accept. Therefore, you can live in the end of receiving $5000. Once you’ve manifested the $5000, the mind will automatically start to believe in the process and build its faith naturally. 

The most important thing is to test the law to build your faith in the process. Pick a technique that resonates with you, develop a routine, and repeat it every day. The key is repetition and persistence, it normally takes the mind around 21 days to build a habit. Therefore, I would suggest picking one technique or one set of affirmations and focusing on it daily for a minimum of 21 days. Keep going until you have achieved your desire. Avoid, jumping from one technique to another, or constantly changing your affirmations, when you do this, all you are doing is confusing the mind. The only way your manifest won’t show up is if you give up or keep affirming it’s not working. There is no need to over complicate it. It’s your reality, you make the rules that work for you.

How I quickly manifested my SP back. You too can do it just as fast.

So, my SP story started when I met a guy who ticked all the boxes on my list of a dream partner. When we first met the relationship was so easy, everything flowed naturally and easily fell into place. He was everything I had always wanted, and he really liked me. I had always been a very confident person when it came to relationships and had this belief, I can have any guy I want. However, because I felt this particular guy was so perfect, I literally put him on a pedestal, seeing him as some sort of god. For the first time in my life, I started to feel anxiety like no other, my mind was running wild. If he wouldn’t reply to my messages instantly or call me back or would cancel dates. I would automatically think the worse. He’s not interested, is there someone else. I kept repeating this story for months and then eventually that is what happened. We had a massive fight and stop speaking. I was devastated and desperate to get him back, but everything I did just pushed him further away. That was when I decided I need to take control and enough was enough. I had created this situation with my continuous negative thoughts and only I could fix it.

For reference by this point, we had not spoken or been in contact for 6 months and he had literally told me to never contact him again. So, this is what I did:

I decided to take every negative thought about him, our relationship, and the argument we had, and bin it. From this point onwards I would never repeat the old story again, like it had never happened. Revise it if you have too. That’s what I did, I revised the evening we had the argument, into a lovely romantic date and things were left in a good way, with my SP telling me he loved me and will see me soon.

I also took my SP off the pedestal, he’s just a normal person, this is my life, I am the GOD of my reality. So, in my head I decided on a new story in which I was the most important person, and my SP was head over heels in love with me.

I wrote down a list of affirmations about me, how I was confident, attractive, I can get any man I want, and I deserve this amazing relationship. About him, how I wanted to recreate him in my reality, loving, caring, attentive and only attracted to me. Then about the relationship, we are so in love and in a happy committed relationship. I kept the affirmations short and easy to remember, so I could repeat them whenever I needed too.

A strict mental diet is what worked for me, I hardly ever visualised, but when I repeated my affirmations, images of us walking down the street hand in hand would pop into my mind naturally, but if they didn’t that was ok, I didn’t force anything. Every time a negative thought came to my mind, I said NO and repeated my affirmations, until I felt a shift into a positive place. I did this continuously until the negative thoughts were completely gone. It didn’t take long. Another thing, I added to my routine was, I would repeat my affirmations to myself every night until I fell asleep.

During this time, I must stress you have to ignore your current reality and what’s happening in the 3D world. Completely live like you’re in this amazing relationship with your SP. The affirmations will make it easier to stay in that place. Don’t react to anything that is opposing your desire, and don’t wait around for calls or messages. I would just look at my phone and say why is he always calling and messaging me. Enjoy life and do things that you’d do if you already had this person in your life. Would you be googling how to get my ex back etc if you had them NO, so stop doing that. You know how to manifest, so go ahead and practice it. You can’t learn forever and there are no short cuts to this, you have to put in the work and test the law for yourself. Even Neville Goddard stressed the importance of testing the law and see it work for yourself.

The final and most important thing is PERSIST in the new story, do not give up. Don’t look for signs or feel like you have to contact them. Keep affirming until this new story feels more real than the old. Before you know it, the 3D world will catch up with your imagination. When you least expect it, your SP will be back with you. They have no choice but to conform to your assumptions of them, because everyone is you pushed out. If you believe they love you, miss you and only want you, they have to appear that way in your reality. Remember there is no one to change but self – Neville Goddard. You can’t change your SP in the 3D world without changing them in your thoughts and imagination first, change the old story you’re telling yourself about them. All you must do is dedicate the time and effort to control your mind.

This may sound harsh, but you have to be brutally honest with yourself. Some people say they are on a strict mental diet but are only positive when they’re affirming and then allow their mind to run wild rest of the time. When you’re on a strict mental diet, you should take control of every thought 24/7. It will get easier the more you do it.

As for my SP he contacted me 3 weeks into my mental diet, apologising and telling me how he’d missed me and wanted to see me. We’re now in a loving committed relationship, he is the best partner ever because I have created him that way. Everything I had been affirming to myself came true. Even now when he does things that annoy me, I don’t argue with him, I just change it in my mind. Once you adjust your mindset, your whole world will change.

The way I look at it is, it’s your life you write the script. Your SP is only an extra in your film, you’re the lead, so you call the shots. You can have this too, just believe in yourself and your relationship and take control of your mind. Best of luck everyone.

Mental Diet and how to do it

When I first embarked on my manifesting journey, I found lots of people spoke about Mental Diets but no one really explained how to do it correctly or they explained it in a way that confused me even more.

One book I would recommend reading is The 7 day mental diet by Emmet Fox. It is a simple step by step guide on how to do a mental diet.

Mental diet is basically monitoring your thoughts and flipping any negative thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts or affirmations. You must develop a habit of not entertaining or dwelling in any negative thoughts. Do this until your positive thoughts have been repeated enough times to become your dominant thought. Like any diet, at first this will take dedication and discipline, but it will get easier.

The aim is to catch any negative thoughts and instantly replace them with the new affirmations, never allow the negative thought to finish. This doesn’t mean you can never have a negative thought. That’s not possible, you’re only human. Its ok to have negative thoughts, but never allow yourself to dwell in them for a long time and never let your negative thoughts spiralled out of control. Its ok to cry and let the emotions out but then go back onto your mental diet. If you do have an emotional reaction, it won’t impact your manifestation, as long as you get back onto your mental diet and your positive thoughts outweigh the negative ones.

Repetition is the key here, at the beginning it will feel like work, constantly monitoring your thoughts and replacing them but after a while you’ll noticed the positive thoughts have impressed the subconscious mind. When you think of your desire, it’s the new thoughts that pops up not the old. The main aim of a mental diet is to change the negative habitual thoughts, you have been carrying around for years and overwrite them with the positive thoughts, that align with your desire. Remember a mental diet should be a lifestyle change, something you embody forever, even when you have obtained your manifestation.

This is how I did a mental diet. One day I decided I was going to embark on this change and would fully dedicate myself to it. On the first day, I monitored what came to my mind, when I thought of my desire. Anything positive or negative I wrote it down in my notebook. By the end of the day, I could see a pattern. For some of you it may be obvious from the beginning. For others, if the thoughts are deep embedded in the subconscious mind, it may not be so obvious.

I used these thoughts as the basis to form my affirmations. I made my affirmations short and easy to repeat on a loop. Then every time a negative thought would come to my mind, I would repeat the affirmation on a loop until the negative thought passed. At the beginning, I would take every opportunity I had to repeat my affirmations to myself constantly. When I was in the shower, driving, washing up, going for a walk. I would just repeat the same phrase over and over again.

Another thing I did was, before I went to bed every night, I would set a timer for 5 minutes and I would sit and repeat my affirmations. Before I knew it, every time I thought of my desire my affirmations came to mind and not the anxiety I have previously felt from the negative thoughts. That’s how easy it was, within a month things in my life started to change, people in my life started acting differently, treating me differently, opportunities and money came to me out of the blue, but most importantly I felt different, I felt like the person I had always wanted to be. Confident, happy, ambitious and full of life. If I can do it, so can you, so many people are manifesting their dream lives, you’re no different.

Affirmations and why they are so important?

Our current reality is normally the result of a narrative we’ve been telling ourselves over time. We’ve repeated this narrative so many times, that it’s harden into fact in our 3D world.

Affirmations are positive statements that can help you overcome self-sabotaging negative thoughts. We can use affirmations to change the narrative of our story to something more positive, that aligns with our desires.

Let’s take the SP as an example: if you have split up with an ex, had a bad relationship in the past, or think your SP is out of your league, or you’re not good enough. You’re probably having thoughts like:

  • He/She no longer loves me
  • He/She has moved on
  • We haven’t been in contact for ages
  • Too much has happened between us to put this right
  • I am not the sort of person they would ever date

I could go on and on, but I am sure you get where I am going with this. If you keep repeating these stories over and over again. Guess what, these assumptions will soon harden into facts and this is exactly what you will get more of in your 3D world.

Instead you need to take all these thoughts that come to your mind and flip them to something that matches your desires.  Write them down at first, if you need to, as you might not even be aware, you’re having these thoughts running in the back of your mind.

So, for example you would change the above negative thoughts too.

  • He/She loves me
  • I am the only person they ever want to be with
  • He/She calls and messages me all the time
  • He/She always forgives me quickly and easily
  • He/She is so attracted to me, I am the only person they ever look at.

Did you notice how when you read the negative affirmations, you automatically felt sad but as soon as you read the positive affirmations, you automatically feel better. The brain cannot differentiate between reality and imagination. Hence why, when you see something sad happen in a movie, you automatically begin to cry. Your body cannot tell the difference.

That is the aim of the affirmations, to trick the mind into thinking this is your new reality. The continuous repetition will make it more believable to the brain, until it becomes your dominant thought. If at the beginning you don’t believe the affirmations that’s normal, you’re not going to believe it at first, you have years of negative habitual thinking to overcome but persist, do not give up. The more you repeat it to yourself, the more believable it will become, until it turns into your dominant thought.

The main question I get asked is, what affirmations should I use. Do they need to be said in a certain way? The answer to that is, No. I would recommend using affirmations that feel natural to you and that resonate with you. You are always speaking to yourself in your mind, use the same language you use. This will be more natural to you and easier for the subconscious mind to accept.

No matter what you’re manifesting, I would recommend having both general and specific affirmations. People tend to have less resistance to the general affirmations, compared to the specific ones.

General affirmations

  • Isn’t it wonderful
  • I am beautiful, sexy and smart
  • Everybody loves me
  • I always get everything I want
  • I am a master manifestor and manifesting is so easy for me
  • I know my thoughts create

Specific affirmations

  • SP Name loves me
  • SP Name misses me
  • I am the only person he/she wants
  • SP Name always calls and messages me
  • We have the perfect relationship

Another thing to bear in mind is CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT MATTER. You can manifest anything you desire; the answer is always yes, you can have it. The current reality you’re experiencing in the 3D world, is just a reflection of your past habitual thoughts. All you must do is change your story from the old to the new and persist in it, until it appears into your 3D world.

Law of Assumption

The first step in the renewing of the mind is desire. You must want to be different before you can bring to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream as present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of wish fulfilled. By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person – Neville Goddard. 

Neville’s teachings state, the law of assumption is always in motion and the imagination creates reality. All you have to do is assume your desire is yours and embody the person you would be if you already had what you wanted. Live in the end until your desire appears in the 3D world.

Once you have a desire, its already yours, all creation is complete. You would not have a desire, if it did not exist in some form. You are not creating anything; you’re just selecting it. You must accept it as done, this is your new reality and stay faithful to it.

Neville compared this to being pregnant. There is no such thing as a “little pregnant, you either are pregnant or you’re not”, you can’t be both at the same time. When you are pregnant you know in 9 months’ you will have a baby. You don’t doubt it, you accept it as true and live from the end that you will soon be a parent. It’s the same with manifesting, even though there is no evidence of your desire, you accept it as yours and you become the person who has it, with complete conviction. The only thing that can cause a “miscarriage” as Neville referred to it, is negative thoughts and falling back into the old version of yourself.

Like Neville said “you can’t serve two masters”, either you accept your desire as your new reality or you keep looking at the 3D world for evidence  and keep repeating the old habitual patterns of the past.  

The time is takes to manifest your desire will depend on the time it takes you to fully align with your new reality and remain there, until the 3D world catches up.

The law of assumption is always working. If you assume you are be rich, you are. If you assume your SP loves you, they do. If you assume your successful, you are. If you assume the law doesn’t work, it won’t. If you assume, manifesting is difficult, is it. Just assume you are the person you want to be, assume the people in your life are the way you want them to be. It’s not for you to worry about the how, that will naturally fall into place. You just have to assume your desire is already yours and embody it as done.

Back to the basics

Welcome to this blog and the first post. Here I wanted to take things back to the basics. When I first started on my manifesting journey, the thing I found the most difficult was the amount of contradicting information I found on the internet. People talking about self-love, techniques, vibration, feelings, I could go on and on. All this information made me develop so many limiting beliefs, if I didn’t do X, Y and Z my desires wouldn’t come to pass.

It was only when I discovered Neville Goddard and the Law of Assumption, that I began to understand my true power. I was the GOD of my reality and my imagination was the only tool I needed to manifest the life of my dreams. Once you have a desire, it’s already yours, you just have to accept it as yours with full faith.

The reality is, we are always manifesting our lives, whether we’re doing it consciously or just letting life happen to us, without controlling our thoughts. The key to manifesting is actually very simple, we just have to monitor our thoughts, and ensure we’re only thinking of the things that we want to experience in our 3D world. Unfortunately, from a young age we’re conditioned to think and behave in a certain way and therefore develop so many fears and limitations throughout our lives.

We’re always telling ourselves stories based on our past experiences. I am not good enough, I don’t deserve this, why would he/she want to be with someone like me or you have to work hard to get rich and famous. However, we don’t realise these stories are actually forming our future.

Therefore, it’s simple, if you want to change your life, you have to learn to change your assumptions and thoughts about yourself, your life and the people in your life. This won’t happen overnight, but with a little persistence, it can happen quickly. You just have to believe in your own power and take the first step. Control your mind, instead of letting your mind control you.
