How are/ were you dealing with doubts ?
Or as example : imagine you wouldnât have shifted while editing your blinking sub. Affirming or having affirmations in your sub that are about today. That you shift okay while u blink. But you end up blinking another 10k , and not shift ..
Or while you try to change your mindset and doubts or fears crawl back
I don't doubt myself, shifting or manifestation at all anymore which sounds crazy to say after all the years I spent struggling. It took me a long time to get to this point but now I can confidently say that I get whatever I want. Since I am neurodivergent, tips other people give to help with doubts don't exactly work on me and I had to forge my own way and look at other neurodivergent spiritual people like me to help my situation.
SELF CONCEPT IS KEY!!!!!!!!!
I cannot stress this enough. Whether it be shifting or manifestation, self concept can change the entire game for you. You never not have a self concept so if youre doubting yourself rn it is probably because your self concept is bad, not that that is your fault in any way because society literally programmed us to believe we are terrible just so they can profit off our weaknesses. Once your self concept improves, doubts just evaporate into thin air as of they never existed in the first place, at least in my experience.
As always, I achieved this through subs because I am too lazy to do self concept work lmao. I linked my personal playlist that got me to this point so give it a listen if you'd like.
The usual advice of "Just affirm that its done despite not seeing it yet" can work for other people, it never worked for me in the beginning. It does now though because I assume it will and I have enough confidence in my abilities to know that things work out the way I want them to.
But its probably the worst advice for beginners because we are human, we cannot just ignore everything and affirm despite feeling like shit about it. Our feelings get the better of us, and obviously, if we are trying to manifest something then its probably because we really desire it. Instead of forcing myself to think I have it, I took several different approaches.
I like to prove to myself that I am capable and that it is possible, in tiny ways, so that my brain stops doubting.
How? I usually like to manifest the tiniest things that are still undeniable so I can't dismiss them and when the manifestation comes, it improves my mindset about myself which makes it easier to believe in my ability. All of this then leads to me having less doubts because "It worked for that other thing, why can't it work for this?"
An example of this is: I would manifest lucid dreams, food, skills/hobbies, praise, good grades without studying, etc. Things that I am not particularly obsessing over and didn't mind if it worked or not and when the manifestation showed up in the 3D it would reaffirm my ability to manifest without even trying hard or doing any methods. This in turn caused me to doubt less.
If I was too worried about the process and doubts just kept popping up no matter what, I would place the duty of shifting/manifesting on something else. "I don't have to worry because my subconscious is handling it." Or "Its not my problem to worry about because my intention is enough."
Any time a doubt would pop up I would silence it by saying "its not my place to worry, this subliminal is fixing the issue." Because it felt much better when I wasn't the one anxiously trying to shift or manifest, something else was doing it for me so then I would be able to relax and let it happen.
No toxic positivity or I would crash out.
I couldn't ignore circumstances when they were right in my face, I couldn't deny the truth and be delusional, I couldn't act as if I already had it because I obviously didnt. If I did try to pretend, it would lead to me crashing out and giving up entirely.
Instead, I would use logic and facts to explain away my doubts. If I didn't get the thing I was manifesting, I wouldn't force myself to pretend it was already here because that created cognitive dissonance. I would just explain to myself that I deserve that thing, that I want that thing which means I should have it, that its easy to get this thing that I want and that there are people who have more than this thing and don't even feel its absence so why should it be hard for me to manifest?
I couldn't visualise so I needed proof that shifting/manifesting would work for me but when doubts pop up and failed shifting attempts are plenty, it gets pretty hard to do that.
I wanted to actually see how it could happen so that it would feel logical enough to be real in my mind. But you can't really see someone shift and manifestation does have success stories but doing it for yourself is a whole other process.
For this: I would make edits, videos of how I thought it would happen. I would draw it out or write down the scenario in detail because writing is my strong point. When I would fully immerse myself in the success that I was chasing, manifestation would happen instantly.
This worked best for food lmao. If i was craving burgers (even though there was food at home) but didn't have any money, I would tell myself in detail what it would feel like to eat one rn. Where would I sit? What would I watch? What would I order along with it?
And then someone would give me money lmao. It works so well for food manifesting. If you can't tell, I adore food. I still do it sometimes but now I don't really need to because I always have money (another successful manifestation).
I would write down all my doubts (scary i know but trust me on this one) and when they were in front of me on the page, I would write the opposite. So let's say: "What if it doesn't work for me specifically?" Is a doubt that popped up frequently for me. I'll write on another separate page. "It only ever works for me specifically."
Then, after I had flipped my doubts, I would take the doubt page and burn it or tear it up and throw it away. Like a physical thing, I could purge it out. It helped ease my worries. And I would use the positive assumptions that I had gotten out of it and either make a subliminal or affirm those affirmations.
I didn't doubt myself at all as I was putting together my "Shifting with every blink" subliminal because I knew it was going to work. Only because I had made subs for shifting and other stuff before and they always worked. So why would this be any different? I wanted to shift with every blink, I used my usual manifesting method (subliminals) and I got the results. I was confident because 1) I had shifted before so this wasn't a big deal and 2) My subs always worked for me so why should I even doubt myself?
But let's say it didn't work: I would just go on with doing whatever I was doing and assume that it would work later. Because the fact that I shift with every blink is inevitable. I have decided that that is going to happen so it will. It doesn't matter when, it will happen regardless.
