I currently write down what I want to manifest on a 3x5 card and read it everyday then meditate about it. I like the idea of 30 mins set aside for IM and will give that a try.
And I too was wondering about manifesting about a love interest. I know someone that I want to be with and I've found that the more I distance myself from them, the more I realise that they are just a reflection of the type of person that I want to be. I'm finding that my feelings are more of admiration than love per se. I have a feeling that they love me as well, but we both have some growing to do.
Maybe this is good and we should take our time to know ourselves before we get into anything serious. I think I will make an IM 3x5 card about this
