I can imagine what I want, and therefore it is possible for me.
—Abraham Hicks
You need to stop asking yourself, where your desire is. As soon as you decide in your imagination that you have your desire, your desire materializes. It is as simple as that.
You don't need to do any methods and you don't need to take any actions.
All you need to do is go about your day, live your life and everytime you think about your desire, remind yourself that you already have it. It is already there. This is basically what an affirmation is.
You don't have to believe it. Just don't think against it. Repeat your affirmations.
Also, another important thing to keep in mind is for you to stop thinking that some desires take longer time while others don't. It's not true. Erase that idea from your head.
Every manifestation is instant.
and maybe real success looks like
a regulated nervous system.
not comparing yourself to others.
a kind inner dialogue.
being able to show up for yourself.
being able to let go.
knowing your own worth.
having authentic connections.
having good boundaries.
living a life that makes sense to you.
hellour again! i’m free these days, so i’d thought i’d make another long post; this time about the self-fulfilling prophecy and how Florence Scovel Shinn writes about a similar concept in her book The Game of Life and How to Play it. specifically, in the third chapter.
i really like Scovel Shinn’s works, especially because she was one of the pioneers of the New Thought school at the time, even before Neville. it’s clear that she was a very wise metaphysical author, and more people should give her some credit!
i love my major, and i love manifestation. so any chance i have to correlate both is one i will take!
remember the academic book i got this information from is Social Psychology 11th Edition authored by Kassin, Fein and, H.R. Markus. i’ll try to condense the information to make it less convoluted and understandable.
according to sociologist Robert Merton, the self-fulfilling prophecy is a process by which one’s expectation about someone will eventually lead to that person behaving in ways that confirm those expectations. in other words, the perceiver's (person who takes note of another) expectation can actually lead to its own fulfillment, a self fulfilling prophecy.
this hypothesis actually lay dormant until Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson, published the results of their research in a book titled Pygmalion in the Classroom.
what did this study consist of? well, these researchers noticed that teachers had higher expectations for students who performed better in the classroom and they wondered whether these expectations influenced student performance rather than the other way around.
to address the question, they told teachers in a San Francisco elementary school that certain pupils were on the verge of an intellectual growth spurt. the results of an IQ test were cited, but in fact, the pupils had been randomly selected. eight months later, when real tests were administered, the "late bloomers" exhibited an increase in their IQ scores compared with children assigned to a control group. they were also evaluated more favorably by their classroom teachers (Kassin 144).
we can transform our expectations of others into reality using a three-step process:
- first, a perceiver forms an impression of a target person, which may be based on interactions with the target or on other information.
- second, the perceiver behaves in a manner that is consistent with that first impression.
- third, the target person unwittingly adjusts his or her behavior to the perceiver's actions. The net result is behavioral confirmation of the first impression.
in simpler terms, what we think is what we project onto others. that process is called the confirmation bias. this is nothing more than the perceiver asking the target person questions that confirm their beliefs. for example, if we assume that a person is in a varsity team because of the jacket they’re wearing, we will ask them things that either confirm or deny that assumption. small things like these that we do unconsciously:
“are you on the basketball team?”
“do you go to blank university?”
we can also apply this to ourselves:
(shown on a pic because i don’t wanna copy paste the info :D)
using psychology to tie into the law and my previous long post about the self-concept, we can see why words and the way we perceive ourselves is important when we reprogram our minds into thinking in a more positive light.
chapter III, The Power of the Word
“By thy words shalt be justified, and by thy words shalt be condemned.”
in her first book The Game of Life and How to Play It, she mentions a saying that reads: “man only dares use his words for three purposes: to heal, bless or prosper.” she also mentions that what man says of others will be said of him, and what he wishes for another, he is wishing for himself (Scovel 24).
“Curses, like chickens, come home to roost.”
what does this mean? well, like we saw in the bit about the self-fulfilling prophecy, what we say about others is what we attract for ourselves. for example, if we wish ill on—say—another tumblr user, we are sure to receive it as well. on the other hand, if we are kind to one another and support our journeys with manifestation, we will be able to reach our own success.
edward art mentions this too. but he calls it something more simple. love.
Scovel Shinn mentions in this chapter that when the subconscious is flooded with good things, or words in this case, the superconscious (God or imagination) and man are one.
“It is safe to say that all sickness and happiness come from the violation of the Law of Love.”
in this story she mentions an actress with a terrible skin disease:
as we can see in this story, any problems in the outside world indicate a deeper issue in the mind.
“As the within, so the without.”
we know that the self fulfilling prophecy implies that the way we perceive others is the way they will reflect on the outside. this is what the good-will Scovel Shinn mentions is about.
"But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you and persecute you."
sometimes we get jealous of others' journeys. we read a success story and wonder “what am i doing wrong? maybe if i do what this person did i will manifest all my desires.” but remember we’re all different. what works for another might not work for us, and that’s okay :)
the beauty about spirituality is that we all have our own paths to follow, each with their unique experiences. trying out techniques you don’t like because you saw them in a “this is the fastest way to manifest” video will not fulfill you. and what doesn’t fulfill you will only make you give up.
i’ve seen this thrown around loablr and shiftblr, but i’ll reiterate in this post. please don’t police others on their journey. the only thing that will do is set you back.
next time you see a success story around the community, be happy for them! if anything, it’s a great thing to see on your dash because it's proof that the law always works in your favor. every time. so let’s wish each other well, practice gratitude, and focus on ourselves!
"There is peace on earth for him who sends goodwill to man!"
ps im plugging the song i listened to while writing this post because sharing is caring. take care!

The power of mindset🧁

Haven’t you heard people tell you to “shift your mindset”, “hot is a mindset”… blah blah blah…. Well, I’m here to tell you just how important that is & how to do it.
this isn’t just to manifest stuff, but also, to change the way people treat you, and how you treat yourself.
₊˚⊹♡───────────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆────────────♡⊹˚₊
personal successes
y’all, when I tell you I went from an unpopular, quiet, ‘ugly’ girlie to one of the prettiest girls in my school, with multiple people crushing on me and asking me out… ALL because I shifted my mindset! I am not joking, I swear by the fact that mindset is the most important thing ever.
₊˚⊹♡───────────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆────────────♡⊹˚₊
You do realise that what you are is literally what you think you are right? Like the reason people see you as pretty or ugly is because of how you act, how you talk about yourself, how you treat yourself…
treat yourself like an option- you are an option. why TF would anyone not want you? My love, you are just the same as the ‘girl everyone wants’ seriously… I used to have a friend (my “best friend”) who used to constantly put me down, treat me bad, cancel plans etc, and I kept following her around, begging her for attention. Now, let me tell you, she wasn’t anyone special, not popular, pretty, smart, nothing, she just never treated me well to the point where I was desperate for her to like me. When I realised this, I stopped being so pathetic, and actually realised my worth. I surrounded myself with people who actually care about me, and now, she desperately wants to be my friend. REALISE YOUR WORTH BABE.
how? Well I told myself I deserved better. I assumed I was someone who deserved good friends, because guess what? I am. beauty standards don’t exist. like literally. everyone has a different idea of beauty. So why can’t you be the most stunning person in the room? blow a kiss to yourself, tell yourself you are beautiful. Treat yourself like you are beautiful, because you are. if someone compliments you, accept it.
stop putting yourself down, it’s not cute. Why would the most beautiful person in the world call themselves ugly. When you treat yourself like that others will treat you like that to.
₊˚⊹♡───────────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆────────────♡⊹˚₊
how to do it! - tell yourself what you are. Constantly, if you look into the mirror and don’t like what you see, do a little twirl, do something that makes you feel good about yourself. -compliment others. seriously, because this way, people will associate you with whatever you complemented them as. A.K.A: “you are sooo cute” = I know I’m cute, so I’m not afraid to compliment other girls, to help them be more confident. -affirmations. and sooo much more.

Get all your desires within a week
Have you been having trouble manifesting? Are you sick and tired of waking up everyday in your current reality and it feels like you tried every single possible manifestation technique out there yet nothing seems to work? I have come up with a 7 day challenge for you.
The universe doesn't give you what you want, it gives you what you ARE. By doing this challenge you will be matching the frequency of your dr which will allow your cr to transform.
This is a very powerful technique. Please make sure you know exactly what you want.
So, here are some of the rules:
You identify your desired reality as your current reality
You do EVERYTHING you would do in your dr, even if uncomfortable (for example, if your desired self(ds) goes to the gym at 5am everyday that's exactly what you're gonna do. It's only a week.)
Your "Cr" is your past. It is not your reality, it's imagination. Your dr is your only "correct and real" reality. After all you're doing everything you would in your dr, so that makes it your current reality.
You do this for 7 days. No cheating!
Feel free to add your own rules for yourself!
1.Write down your goals
What does your desired reality actually look like? Think about it and write it down. Yes, WRITE it down. Don't just think about it. Whether you do it on your notes app or on a piece of paper, write down clear habits of your ds. Some examples:
Goes to sleep at _ and wakes up at _
Works out
Works on her business/skills
Etc. anything. It doesn't have to be something important. Anything you can think of that you desire.
2.Identify your blocks
Now it's time to be brutally honest with yourself. WHY do you think your desires aren't here yet? What is blocking you from receiving your manifestations. This is the part that most people fail at, which causes them to not get their desires. Releasing those blocks can be difficult, but without it you are literally blocking your manifestations. I suggest you really research this topic, but here are some of the most common ones:
You see your 3D as your REAL reality.
You keep stressing about getting your desire NOW.
You have a lack mindset.
You don't trust yourself.
You check your 3D for your results.
3.Find the difference
Now that you know what you want it's time to find the differences. Now it might seem obvious, but again, you need to write it down. Since you already have what your desired reality looks like, here's how I do it in the easiest way. You write down your desired reality on one side and compare your current reality to it on the other side. For example: (let's just act one is on the left side and one is on the right side).
Dr: Wake up at 7am.
Cr: Wake up at 10am.
This will make it easier to change your habits later.
4.Act like you're in your dr
Now that you know what your goal is and what the difference is you are going to switch. Your desired reality is your new reality. Your current reality does not exist. It's your past. You are now in your desired reality and you KNOW that. Do everything you would do in this reality. From waking up to going to sleep. The whole day. Does your ds wake up at 5am and goes to the gym? Good. That's exactly what you're gonna do because it's your current reality. You are your dream self and your dream self is you.
5.Ignore your reality.
Now it's time for you to decide that your current reality is just a mindset. And you need to switch that mindset. You want the best for yourself and you will get it. You just need to allow it, so, from now on your only right reality is the reality you created for yourself. All the outside noise doesn't change that, because it is your reality now.
Immediately. The moment you start doing this and actually believe and persist that's the moment it becomes your reality.
Once you accept you really have it. You need to actually believe it, and when that happens, you won't be looking for your 3D to confirm that. That's exactly when it appears in your 3D. It can be the same day, same week, same month, same or next year. You decide when you trust the universe. This is just an exercise to help those who keep stressing about their 3D. And it works magic.
don’t take whatever crumbs you can get and remain yearning for more scraps.
give yourself the full result and dwell in the fact that it’s already a success.
don’t take in more and more information about the law expecting that next post to be the messiah of loa.
give yourself some inner talk, go over what you know, recite what you align with to yourself and stick with that and that only.
don’t take bullshit from the outside world because it’s not yours to take anymore.
give yourself the beautiful life, love and peace you deserve within. focus inward. that’s where the truth lies; inside.
don’t take from what no longer serves you.
don’t take what’s not within you.
don’t take from what’s no longer yours.
give yourself the full benefit of happiness.
give your inner mind the knowledge of what it already possesses.
give because you’re the only one who can.
All successful manifesters are successful bc they don’t gaf about the 3d and remain true to imagination. They only care about imagination cuz they know the 3d is just an after effect of imagination.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME!
ANYTHING I DESIRE,DESIRES ME MORE!
I DON'T CHASE,I RECEIVE!
I DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN WHAT I WANT. MY DESIRES COMES TO ME EXACTLY AS I WANT THEM TO BE.
Everything you can think of is present now. You cannot conceive of something that is not already worked out in detail; but it is a shadow if you do not dwell in it.
