Have you ever caught yourself obsessively checking your vision board, wondering if you’re “doing it wrong”?
Or maybe you’ve spent hours second-guessing whether that tiny negative thought you had this morning completely derailed your manifestations?
I’ve been there.
I was looking through some old journals last week when I found my manifesting notebooks from about 10 years ago
Page after page was filled with crossed-out affirmations and rewritten goals – each revision an attempt to find the ‘perfect’ words that would finally make my desires manifest 😅
Looking at those journals, I felt compassion for my Past Self… the one who believed successful manifesting was about striving for perfection.
I’m happy to say I’ve come a looooong way since then and here’s what I know now…
When manifesting becomes another source of pressure in your life, it’s no longer serving its purpose.
With traditional manifesting methods it can feel like we need to:
💙 Maintain unwavering positive thoughts 24/7
💚 Never speak a “negative” word
💛 Always be in a high-vibe state
💜 Control every aspect of our manifesting experience
But here’s what I’ve discovered through my own journey and in my work with clients:
The Universe doesn’t ask for perfection…
The Universe asks for authenticity
Think about it this way…
The Universe is all-knowing and all-loving so why would we be expected to push ourselves or pretend to say or do anything that doesn’t feel good to us?
It’s why I teach a (much) gentler way to successfully manifest, where we get to:
🥰 Honor ALL our emotions (yes, even the uncomfortable ones!)
🤩 Trust that we are worthy of receiving all that we desire just as we are
😍 Release the need for rigid control
🥳 Allow our manifesting experience to be a gentle, intuitive process
I’ve found that the “1 Healing Breath” technique is a wonderful tool that can help with all of the above (if you haven’t experienced it yet, check out this link for a free 11-day 1 Healing Breath journey).
Instead of trying to force yourself into a “perfect” manifesting state, 1 Healing Breath quickly and easily lets you:
- Acknowledge where you are right now
- Gently shift your energy
- Release self-judgment and pressure for perfection
Remember…
Your manifesting journey shouldn’t feel like walking on eggshells. It should feel like coming home to yourself 🌟
