Holding Steady
Sometimes, manifestation happens quickly. Soon after you receive a clear idea of what you want, it begins making its way into your reality.
Other times, manifestation seems to take its sweet time! You define what you want, do your practices to line up with it, take inspired action… and not much happens.
This can be one of the biggest hurdles to clear when transforming a dream into reality.
When it seems like “nothing’s happening,” there can be a strong temptation to decide that what you’re doing must not be working or that you must not be doing it right.
Of course, this way of thinking can seriously slow down manifestation.
And it’s not usually true.
What’s more likely is that what you’re doing IS working.
You ARE shifting your vibration.
You ARE creating what you want.
And the strong temptation to give up or declare that it’s “not working” is often a sign that a breakthrough is right around the corner.
On the Fifth Day, It Happened
A while back, I wrote about how Nick and I manifested a “ticket lottery” win.
For four days in a row, we submitted our online entries, showed up at the steps of Keller Auditorium, and visualized ourselves winning the coveted front row seats.
But each day, we weren’t selected.
We could have decided that this meant that what we were doing wasn’t working or that “it’s not meant to be.” We could have decided that we were wasting our time driving there every day and just stopped.
But fortunately, we didn’t. Because on the fifth day not only was my name called out as a winner but Nick’s was too. We won FOUR front row tickets… double what we needed for the show!
The Day of Two “Yeses”
Then there was the time several years ago when I was determined to finally make the leap to earning a full-time income from my business by offering longer-term coaching programs. But I had serious doubts that new clients would say “yes” to working together for three whole months when I’d only sold single sessions or much smaller and less expensive packages in the past.
I spent a solid month and a half visualizing, affirming, and taking inspired action only to manifest zero new coaching clients.
My fearful mind told me that “this isn’t working” and “you can’t do this.” And there was a strong temptation to agree!
But I held steady with my practices.
And then it finally happened. The “nos” turned into not just one but two “yeses” in a single day, two new awesome clients for my program, and receiving more income in a single day that I’d ever made in an entire month of selling single sessions.
Not giving up when it felt so tempting led to the breakthrough of getting to serve my clients in a much richer, deeper, more fulfilling way and manifest my dream of doing my business full time.
Success On the Other Side
Sometimes, it takes longer than expected to build up enough energetic momentum to break through into new levels of manifestation.
But if we can hold steady despite strong doubt and fear, we will see success on the other side.
Here’s to committing to our creations and trusting the process. <3
