"i've been in the state for weeks, but i still don't have my desire yet!"
why you might not "have" your manifestation yet
this is a question i see a lot, mostly on twitter. i ended up making a thread about it, and since you guys are my day 1's, i decided to also convert it into a post for you guys!
let's be honest with ourselves.
firstly, if you're acknowledging that you don't have your desire, then you're not in the state of the wish fulfilled.
secondly, you shift in and out of states all day long. you are not going to be in the state of the wish fulfilled for days straight--lets alone weeks--and that's okay! there's really no need to be.
you just need to enter the state of the wish fulfilled MORE FREQUENTLY than you enter the state of lack. so, if you fall out of your desired state 10 times in a day, your goal is to shift back to your desired state 11 times that day.
entering your desired state more than the state of lack will make it become your dwelling state, and your dwelling state is what manifests.
your dwelling state = the state you most frequently go back to
so, if your 3D is still showing you lack, that means the state of lack is still your dwelling state. which means throughout the day, you are falling out of the state and not shifting back to it.
which means, no, you haven't "been in the state for weeks."
so how do you know you fell out of the state and need to shift back to it?
-you're wondering where your desire is
-you're acknowledging you don't have your desire yet
your state creates your thoughts, so your thoughts act as indicators of what state you're in.
so what do you do if you notice you're doing/thinking one of these things?
you shift back to your desired state. if you don't, you will remain in the state of lack. which means for that day, you will have entered the state of lack more than the state of the wish fulfilled.
and what happens if you enter the state of lack more frequently than the state of the wish fulfilled? the state of lack will remain your dwelling state. which means you will continue not seeing your manifestation reflected in your 3D.
if you have truly been entering your desired state more frequently than the state of lack, you would see your desire reflected in your 3D. so if you don't "have" your manifestation yet, you haven't changed your dwelling state yet. so there's no "i've been in the state and i don't have my desire yet." you've still be in the state of lack more than the state of the wish fulfilled.
there's no pressure to be perfect when you first start manifesting something! (or ever, tbh). if you go back to the state of lack without realizing it at first, that's okay! you're not "doing it wrong", you're just still learning! you'll get better at recognizing the fact you've fallen out of the state.
but if you say "i've been in the state but i don't have my desire yet", i immediately know that's not the case. because your state creates your thoughts, and that particular thought is a product of the state of lack.
you need to take responsibility. it's no one's fault but your own if you haven't changed your dwelling state yet. once again, it's okay if you're not perfect when you start manifesting. but if you're blaming not having your desire on other people, you don't understand the main concept of manifestation, which is that YOU create your reality. it's no one's fault but your own, and that's a good thing! you don't have to rely on anyone else; the power is entirely in your hands.
when you notice a doubt or negative thought arise, you can feel it for a moment if you need to, or rant about it, but afterwards you need to shift back into the state of the wish fulfilled.
it gets easier and easier to do this. it's like learning how to do anything: it's hard the first few times, but as you practice, it gets easier and easier. it's become easier for you to realize you fell out of the state you want to make your dwelling state, and easier for you to shift back to it.
don't give up because it's difficult for you at first! maybe the first day, you'll fall out of the state 15 times and only manage to shift back to it 10 times. but then the next day, you fall out of the state 15 times, and you shift back to it 12 times.
it'll get easier and easier, until eventually that gap closes and you are able to shift back to the state every single time you fall out if it! and then, your new state becomes your dwelling state!
it's important to note that shifting back to your desired state ≠ flipping your thoughts. in fact, most people i've helped with manifestation find it much easier and more effective to just ignore the thought rather than to flip it.
why does this work? because all you need in order to shift states is intention.
to intend = to have a plan, result, or purpose in your mind when you do something
so when you ignore a thought, you do it with the purpose in mind to shift back to your desired state.
so if you notice a thought that doesn't line up with the state you want to be in, and you make the conscious decision to ignore it and not give it any power or further thought, you are intending to shift back to your desired state.
it can really be as easy as that!
to end this post i just want to reiterate the fact that you don't need to feel bad if you're not perfect at first! just keep getting back on the horse, and with persistence you will make your desired state your new dwelling state!
