I think that's because methods vary. I manifest by a combination of thinking in words ("I'm becoming better at painting") and visualisation. I try to picture what I want in great detail, and try to really make the image come alive for me. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a dreamer, so my imagination runs rampant at times and I manifest the strangest things. Like yesterday: don't ask me why, but I was daydreaming about seeing rainbows and having it rain on one side of the house and not on the other side. I'm working on a painting of a rainbow and a few days ago, I had a heated discussion with my sister's boyfriend's stubborn father, who kept insisting that such a thing as rain on one side and drought on the other side of a house isn't possible and that I was lying. Those thoughts got mixed up and I began daydreaming about both.
Guess what happened...
It started raining in our backyard, but our front yard was completely dry! And on the rainy side, there were TWO rainbows! It seriously freaked me out
So, that's how I do it: daydreaming in detail about what I want or where I want to be in life, not how I'll get it. And when I think in words, I try to keep things positive and in present tense. So: "I'm keeping my job" is better than "I don't want to get fired", as the universe literally does not take no for an answer. You might think you don't want to get fired, but you're thinking about getting fired (and probably accidentally visualising a few doomscenarios in the process), so that's what you'll get.
Also, try to keep present tense. So don't say: "I want to earn a better salary". Because when you say you
want a better salary, you're implying that your current salary is bad. And since the present is all that matters, you're sending out conflicting intentions ("I have a bad salary" and "I have a good salary"). Instead, say something like "my salary is improving", repeat that while visualising your life after you get the raise and do that until it feels real for you.
I'm no expert, not by a long shot, but this has been doing it for me.
If you want to try it out, I think you should start small. In theory, manifesting one dollar is as easy as manifesting a milion. But if you start out sceptic, there is probably a little voice in the back of your mind that keeps saying it's impossible to manifest such a ridiculous ammount. And thus, you'll send out conflicting intentions. Start with something that is not common (like meeting someone who wears brown shoes), but not strange enough for you to be unrealistic (like a pink elephant).
Edit: a tip I read somewhere: make sure you try to manifest what you want. By that, I mean you should not manifest money to buy a car: you should manifest the car and let the universe figure out how to provide you with one. That's why I'm not trying to manifest winning the lottery, or even just a milion euros no-questions-asked. I don't want the money: I want financial freedom, so I can spend each day however I like. Getting a milion euros and living of the interest is one way, but why limit myself? Instead I'm trying to manifest that freedom and let the universe think of a way to cover my financial needs.
