(00:01):
And there are dozens of questions swirling around in her head. What if I don't make friends? What if I don't know what to do? What if it's scary? And guess what? I have pretty much the same questions going on over here in my head, along with will she drop one of the inappropriate words that she picked up over summer on the first day of kindergarten?
And honestly, that's when we stop manifesting. Not because the desire isn't real, but because inaction rooted in fear. It blocks that energy that we're trying to call in. One of fear's favorite tools is inaction, so let's call it what it is. Fear loves to dress up as logic. It says things to us like, let's just wait until the timing is better, or, I don't know enough yet, or You're probably not ready.
but they're often just masked as procrastination or perfectionism. And trust me, I am well, well versed in both of those, and to this day I still get caught up in them. But getting yourself on the other side of them, the other side of fear, that's where the momentum is. So the manifestation energy that most people miss is
The other thing fear does is fill in the blanks with the worst case scenarios. So why not challenge it? What if your boss is open to you asking for a raise? What if you can build a five to nine gig so that you can leave your nine to five job?
And what if you took steps towards that just by showing up and starting. What if your only job was to pick the teeny, tiniest next step towards what you want and just show up? Just like Kinley getting ready to walk into a kindergarten classroom without knowing the rules, the friends, or the routine, you don't need to know everything to begin.
It has grown, and that is where manifestation happens in the space between vision and action. The space where we allow ourselves to stretch into that new version of us who has what we want. If affirmations work for you, I'll leave you with a few here. I show up for what I want, even when fear is present.
What would the best case scenario look like here? Because why not plant that seed We're manifesters, right? So why not build out the best case scenario I believe you can create the life you've been journaling about, especially by saying yes with action towards it.
We're playing around with all things manifestation inside the manifestation playground. You can get more [e-mail]. Until next time, keep trusting, keep stretching, keep showing up, and keep becoming that version of you who has what she wants. To creating a life you love.
