Did I manifest breaking my blog stat barrier?

[Tuumble]

After a few days of writing my blog in the middle of last month the stats were steadily growing albeit with very VERY low numbers and then it really took off for about 5 days before dropping again and remaining fairly static for about a week.

Fairly early on I'd said that breaking 1000 hits for the month was what I was aiming for but as each day passed the average needed to break 1000 grew and it looked less and less likely.

Then I started doing a few things a little differently with about three days to go to see if I could catch up. The traffic then rose and then more than doubled on the final day to see me reach 1017 at the end of the period.

What has happened since then? The next day it dropped by roughly 65% and by a further 50% the day after.

That 1000 was always on my mind since the first few days and despite the blips it always remained and I willed it over the line.

Was this manifestation in action or just a coincidence?

Making me think about how I should target the figures for month two certainly.

It is hard to tell without knowing the details. What exactly did you do differently and what was your mental state while you were doing it? I have increased traffic to my sites significantly by using LoA, so it is possible.

Use segment intending, i.e., set intentions to increase you traffic numbers in reasonable but ambitious increments rather than in huge jumps. Whatever number you set has to believable for you.

If you don’t believe that it is possible to go from 15K visitors a day to 30K visitors a day, it is not going to happen. You have to find a way to feel it. It is not like, “Oh, man I need to do so much more work to increase the traffic to 30K.” Set the number you want and try to feel if it feels good.

Don’t worry about the details, i.e., how, why, and from where this increase in traffic will come. Do what you do with your blog as if nothing happened, don’t act as if your new goal is a big deal to you and you’re eager to see higher numbers. Don’t check your traffic stats multiple times a day.

If it is a big deal to you, than it is. “Big deal” creates resistance, don’t fall for it. Most important of all, let go. Being obsessed with a goal creates resistance. It is like with girls. If you show that you want her badly, chances are she’ll give her attention to someone else. If you are confident but act as if you don’t care either way, she’ll want your attention.

But to answer your question (i.e., manifestation in action or just a coincidence), I think it was a manifestation. What you saw was a spike and it is called the beginners luck. Only it is not luck at all, it is the LoA at work.

It is just when people try something new for a first time, we tend to act in a “pure” state of mind, i.e., we don’t expect that it will actually work (so there is no resistance from trying to force it), we just try it without any expectations (so we are detached from the outcome, we don’t care either way) and that is when “miracles” happen.

Then, when we see that we got what we wanted and want more of it, we try again and usually fail. Why? Because we start overanalyzing, start worrying whether or not it will happen again, etc – all of which creates a lot of resistance.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's the level of responsibility that you accept that will control your life. How do you want to play the game?

1.You create everything
2.You create some of it
3.You create nothing

Pick one and live your life

PS I didn't click on your link because I didn't want to affect your stats how did that happen?
