What Are Your BIGGEST PROBLEMS When Manifesting

[Tristan Bull]

Hey guys,

So I am curious as to what your biggest problem is when it comes to manifesting things.

Are people easily mainfesting things and doing it deliberately?

Are you able to pick something and successfully manifest it into reality?

Do you still struggle with the whole concept?

Are you getting it just sometimes?

Have you had limited results but not yet had the success you really want?

I'd really like to know your answers considering this entire section is dedicated to manifesting I just want to know if people are looking for help when it comes to manifesting or if they are already good at it.

So I would love your feedback, you don't have to answer all those questions above they were mainy to get my point across but please do answer them if you want to and give feedback and if you have other reasons/problems I would love to hear them.

I think it would be really cool if we could get a list of common problems and then hopefully we will all be able to help and solve each others problems and questions

Much Love,
Tristan

No one has any problems huh?

Let me rephrase a little, you don't have to have problems but would would you say is the hardest thing about manifesting?

[ydnab40]

in my opinion, the hardest part of manifesting is actually believing it is possible in the first place.

How do I get over this pretty limiting belief?

[Tristan Bull]

Ahh that's a good one so you don't actually believe you can do it at all.

Well do you have anything specific you are trying to manifest. Being too vague will just have you floating around doing nothing.

You need something that has measurable results.

Also don't get caught up in the term "manifesting" it's really just a buzz word people use in this community.

What it really is is taking a thought or an idea from your head and turning it into reality.

If you have a specific thing you want to manifest let me know and I'll be happy to help you

So, in effect, manifesting is being focussed on a particular topic?

Maybe my limiting factor is my impatience. I am always striving to change to a more satisfying and rewarding job but get frustrated when nothing happens. However, looking back over the last few months things have started to happen, just not as quickly or as decisively as I would like them to. I have just finished a 3 month secondment at work which saw me taken off my regular truck driving job and placed on a computer to operate the depot's yard control system. Apparently I have impressed my bosses!! Although the trial is now over and I am back on my old job when I return to work on Wed night.

The point is, for a long time I have been trying to manifest a job change from truck driving to working from home either as a writer or as a pc tech guy. I am getting occasional requests to fix pc probs but have not charged anyone yet!! Maybe the universe is just moving a bit slower than i would like it to!!

Should I be more specific in what I am trying to manifest? Maybe more realistic, i.e instead of a whole lifestyle change, maybe aim for that secondment at work to become a permanent role? Then when that happens move on to the next step which is to work from home?

What are your opinions on this? Or should I bite the bullet and aim for the stars?

Its a weird one for me.
I have problem understanding what exactly I want to manifest. So its like you're always at the square one.

Tbh, I find much love and satisfaction in most of the parts that life comprises of. It's all so beautiful already, so I find it a tad difficult to get to know the desire, you see. Funny I know, but true. I pro'lly don't have any such major thing in life which I have experimented with, but I do think about small materialistic stuff as and when, like say the other day I saw someone with an amazing flask at their desk. It had metallic grey matt shade to it. I loved it and imagined how cool it'd be if I get one. Then I moved on with my things. A few days later, I get an exactly similar flask as a gift from someone. Whoa. So, yes seen LOA work, but I have been using it for the sweet nothings Apart from that, I first need to figure out what I'd like to manifest.

[auheart]

@ydnab40
I read somewhere that if you are too attached to the outcome, Manifestation gets delayed. As in you have to feel as happy in the NOW as you would if you already had what you are trying to manifest. The fact of NOT being able to manifest your goal shouldn't worry you sick. So just live it up NOW, be happy NOW, feel like a pro PC- repairing guy now, give people advice on it, talk about it, have the kind of confidence you would have if you were already tech guy NOW! So, your job manifesting isn't the ultimate thing, Its a shift in your consciousness, you ARE already awesome, you just have to believe it and feel it!
Good luck buddy!

[hearfromnowhere]

Here's my take on this.

I feel like you have to be able to communicate correctly with the universe or subconcious or whatever you call it.

It's been a mixed bag for me really. Some things manifest. Others don't.

Here lately, I have been concentrating on my confidence in what I am trying to acheive. I have found myself, at times, getting frustrated and thinking or saying to myself stuff like "why is this not working?" or "this stuff really really doesn't work. Now I haven't perfected this yet but I have changed my approach to the way I handle frustration. Now, to each their own but here is what I am doing now.

I am checking my confidence on the subject I am trying to manifest. To me the hardest has been the amount of money I want to make. I have struggled with this for a good while now but things are starting to change. This part of me has been the one thing that has troubled me for quite some time.

The things that I seem to manifest easily are things like relationships, good health, etc. but money? that's a whole new game. I work in sales and the struggle with that has been unnerving to say the least. I consider myself an excellent salesman but fighting off the bad energy has been the toughest. It seems I am my own worst enemy when it comes to getting sales. When my confidence is high I am rolling. When it's not I can't close a door.

For the longest time I've concentrated on things like wanting to have the most sales for the month, make x amount of dollars, etc. Now, I am concentrating on how I feel before I go to work. I am looking for those signals within me that tell me what my confidence level is for that day. I have recently changed my desire from the tangible things of I want to make a certain amount of money to concentrating on my confidence level.

My affirmations to the universe are sounding like this now.

I find myself to have the confidence necessary to acheive my goals.

When I get frustrated I have found that is the perfect time to command the universe to bring me what I desire.

Some teachings seem to suggest that you have to feel like you already have it. That is very much true. It is your confidence in knowing that it is going to manifest that makes all the difference. That's what they mean when they say you have to feel as though you already have it and to feel good about it.

Now how do you accomplish that? Well, I discovered just in the last couple of days that frustration is the absolute best time to display your confidence. Here's what I do now when it comes to sales. When I get rejected and I feel frustrated I find a place to myself and I say stuff outloud like,

Universe? You threw me a curve ball on that one but here is what you are going to do for me. You will bring me more deals right now. That is my command to you. RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW! Because, I deserve success and that's all there is to it. You will not and shall not keep me down.

I'm telling you, Yell it if you have to. The universe is there to supply you. Tell it what to do! Seriously! Say it with the upmost confidence. There's no better a display of confidence when you yell it when your pissed! Instead of griping to yourself how this stuff is not working and the universe is not giving you what you desire you must take that energy and command the universe to do your bidding.

Like I said above. I thought I would give it a try instead of moaning about how I always get the shaft. For months I would leave work after a frustrating day and find myself talking outloud in the car to who? I don't know. But I was whining and moaning about how I never get the things I desire when it comes to money. I was saying all the negative stuff like, "Hey universe! You give me what I desire when it comes to the health of my family etc." I would list all the things I actually do manifest. Then I would say, " Why are you not giving me the same when it comes to my work performance?" Now, throw in a few expletives and you have the whole conversation with myself on my hour long drive on the way home. I decided to change that on Monday morning.

All the way to work I was yelling at myself stuff like. " I control you. You do not get to control me universe! I am in charge and you will give me that which I desire and you know what that is. I am tired of failing! I am tired of not reaching my goals and universe, you are to provide for me right here and now. GIVE ME WHAT I KNOW IS ALREADY MINE!!! RIGHT NOW!

Here's what happened! I made $1500 on Monday. I had not made that much in one day since I began in sales in 05. Talk about an aha moment! Now I made sure and thanked the universe for giving me this money for my work that day. I was off today and am tomorrow and can't wait until Thursday to see what's going to happen.

Yeah you need to be a lot more specific. At the moment you are way to vague and you are not commiting to anything.

Remember you still have to take ownership, you can't just sit back and let the universe take care of it.

Really decide what it is you want and go after it.

To really discover what you want what I suggest you do is find a time when you are relaxed like on the weekend or a day off or something when you have no distractions and no time limits.

Find a place where you will not be disturbed and just chill out for like 5 mins, just focus on your breath and clear your mind. Really just calm your mind and your body.

Once you are in a relaxed state ask yourself what do you really want. Then just let the answers flow to you.

It's important to not judge or resist anything, it doesn't matter if it sounds unrealistic or isn't something you believe. Just observe it.

Then get out a pen and paper and ask yourself again.

But also question everything. Do I really want that job? Do I really want to work from home? Why do I want xyz? Why don't I want xyz?

Ask yourself what would you want to do if there was no limits, if there was no rules and all you had to do was say what you wanted and it would happen.

Would you be driving a truck?

Would you be fixing computers?

Would you work for someone else or for yourself?

Where would you live?

Would you move, would you stay?

Really question everything that is going on in your current life, a bit like a self evaluation.

Then put the answers down on paper.

Once you have your answers you need to decide which one is the most important. In other words what do you want to manifest first.

Once you decide that do the following steps.

Step 1. Clearly Define What You Want & Write It On A Bit Of Paper

This is going to become your new focus, so write in on paper and in big bold letters. This will keep you motivated when you are struggling and will keep you focused on what it is you want.

Read out your statement once every morning and once every night.

Step 2. Feel As If You Have Already Achieved It

This is what auheart was talking about. Start thinking, feeling and acting as if you already have achieved your goal. What ever it may be. Visualization, meditation and affirmations are great for this.

Also be thankful for achieving the goal BEFORE you have actually achieved it.

Step 3. Take Action

This is vital. You need to do this or else nothing will happen. Once you have defined your goal you need to move towards it.

This is the part where most people drop off because they just do step 2 and think the universe is going to do the rest.

You need to make it happen. So take action and do it now!

For example if you decide you want to create your own computer repair business the first thing you need to do is research it. Find out what is involved, research your market. Research your competitors. Then research what the next step is. Is it going to be an online or offline business?

Once you take action the ball starts rolling and you start to get things done. The next step will present itself you just need to start the process.

So anyway I hope that helps you out a bit, let me know how you go

Cheers,
Tristan

Yeah your first step is to just work out what you want.

The cool thing is that it sounds like you already enjoy your life so when you actually pick something to create you will be able to get it a lot faster because you are already in a good state of mind.

I'd suggest looking at my above post and using that method for deciding what you want.

Thats awesome!

See what you have is a strong desire.

This is important for everyone to find. You need to define your "WHY".

The reason why you are doing it in the first place, this is so vital because it keeps you motivated.

Most successful people who have found their WHY usually fall into one of two categories:

Back Againts The Wall

Desire To Be The Best

The first case is the most common one and you hear all the time from rich people who used to be totally broke but turned it around.

Their back was againts the wall and eventually they said enough is enough I have to do something or I am going to be living on the street.

They don't really have a choice, they have to do something or else they will starve. So they have a really strong drive that pushes them through even the toughest times until they succeed.

The other category is people who are not exactly homeless but they have a passion to become number one in their industry. They want to be the best, they want to be the top guy.

Competition is a VERY strong source of motivation. Just look at any sport, the main prize is usually just some type of little trophy but because they want to be the best they do anything to win.

There are many forms of motivation but those are the two most common.

Family is also another big one, wanting to provide for your kids, your husband/wife etc.

It sounds like you have defined your WHY. You said enough is enough, I am going to take charge and make it happen.

Now make sure that it's a strong enough WHY because you need something that is going to push you and force you to take action even when you don't feel like it.

But you have a very important piece of the puzzle so good luck!

As far as I have understood, Most of the time I struggle because my Beliefs are not accurate on some level.

Other Important factor is come between your manifestation is not knowing what it is i really want.

See this both are interrelated "What I want" and "What is my Belief"

There are lot of other factors too but this two are main.

[vartann]

i choose whatever people/ event/ item i want to manifest, rather PRECISELY
...without overburdening my "vision" with petty details though, thus giving more leeway to the Manifestation i suppose
when i feel elation about it then i KNOW it is BOUND to pop up
so i just "let go" and leave it to the Universe to proceed
occasionally and sporadically adding "a few gallons" to the momentum,
and ALWAYS it is not long before it eventually manifests

... by ALWAYS i mean as regards 80% of what i want...
... as to the remaining 20% (arbitrary figures of course just to give you an idea, as is not quantifiable), i STAUNCHLY believe in them too, BUT there s no way it can manifest (now),

have met with several Buddhist Monks, all of them told me to keep the focus on the intention, SHALL manifest in Time,
according to them, IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE DEEP DOWN YOUR HEART THEN IT IS BOUND TO MANIFEST, BUT...
... but
... but

... not until you are done paying your Karmic debt as regards the "object" of your desire (whichever it be, depending on YOUR Karma)

hope it helps...

I think you would really benefit from creating a strong desire, something that keeps you motivated that gets you all emotional when you think about it.

If you are just coasting through life and trying to manifest things "half assed" it's going to be difficult.

So I would reccommend you find something that you really want to achieve, something that get's you motivated and all fired up. That burning desire that will keep burning and not fizzle out tomorrow.

Set a goal that you are passionate about but don't think it's realistic right now, shoot for the moon in other words.

It will force you to think differently and act differently and combined with a burning desire you will be able to manifest things a lot quicker.

Visualizing full manifestation of Creative selfexpression will help me, Which will include all the areas of life and then i will focus on one at time..

My biggest problems are,staying without action is too difficult for me,concentrating on something I want to concentrate is difficult,also while I try to visualize or affirm,I get fear that if my manifestation efforts make the situation worse.Also sometimes have the fear that "Am I doing something against God?" Although I don't want to believe God concept,I fear that if it is true.


I fear that my manifestation efforts may make the situation worse cause when I tried to manifest that we have alot of money,I found my family in a situation in which we may lose all of our property.

I think it's key to focus on 1 thing at a time because it's so easy to get overwhelmed and then end up doing nothing.

So good luck!

Hey Jack,

What do you mean by staying without action?

It sounds like you are letting fear cripple you are are self sabotaging yourself.

Also sounds like you have some limiting beliefs towards success and money. A LOT of people think it's bad for them to be successful and wealthy which is just plain wrong.

My main gripe againts religion is that it teaches people that they need to sacrifice themselves to make god happy, which is such a load of B.S.

They teach that you have to put yourself last, I hate that concept because it makes people live in fear and question if they actually do something good for themselves will they be punished and burn in hell.

You need to let go of the fear and understand that the more good you do for yourself the more good you can do for others.

Peace,
Tristan

Maybe I've been listening to Abraham too much . . . But I can't resonate with talking about the "problems" or the "hardships." I'd rather read people talking about what comes easiest.

[Scott0530]

My biggest problems are not making feel almost like a chore and also its almost like little flashes of what I think the outcome would realistically be, which is against what Im trying to manifest, just flashes every so often.

My problem is I dont understand why somethings show and others dont. Im quite new to this and learning by trial and error since there is no 'holy grail of how to' on ther Loa (although Abraham Hicks and Lynn Grabhorn come very cliose IMO)
I get medium things and small things but I dont get every small thing at the moment. You know, things I would like but dont care that mucha bout. I will have two things I care about equally and am ofefring the same vibe but I get one and the other is yet to show.
I just dont get it. I thought once i started to feel good I would get everything all the time. granted Ive only been feeling good consistently for 3 weeks now!

Oh I know tell me about it! I love the idea that if you are happy then the world will be a better place because you are releasing all that positive energy which affects everyone else. Imagine what would happen if groups of people in a network all around the globe felt happy all the time??!!
