More talk about manifesting appearance changes
I noticed my post about manifesting appearance/body changes got a lot of traction. It never occurred to me how common those types of manifestations are. So, I wanted to write another post that's more so focused on the appearance changes aspect.
How is it possible to manifest appearance changes?
When it comes to manifesting, your only limit is yourself. It is possible to manifest any appearance changes you want, the potential difficulty of it is just based on how you view the change. Like, for instance, you're manifesting yourself to be a significantly different height (let's say you're going from 5'7" to 5'3"). You're 26 years old now and you've been the same height since age 12. Of course it's going to feel like a drastic difference and might feel harder for you to believe as possible because of that.
But, the how is never something you have to worry about when it comes to manifesting. There are an infinite number of ways that your height, weight, eye color, etc. could change. Like, maybe your metabolism improves, which leads to you losing the amount of weight you were manifesting. Maybe your body shrinks earlier in your adulthood which changes your height. You never know. But don't try to focus on the how and don't try to apply logic to it. Just affirm to yourself that it's possible.
Why do we manifest these changes?
One thing I will say is to never manifest an appearance change to attract or please someone else (ie. a romantic SP), especially someone else who's putting you down. You are your own SP when it comes to manifesting appearance changes. You are focusing on yourself and how you desire to look. Do it because it's something that boosts your confidence and pleases you. It does not have to correlate with any other manifestation, like, you do NOT have to change your appearance to get your SP to value you more.
Understand why you want these changes and, like I said, make sure you're manifesting it because you want to. This is related to how you look. It is 100% up to you.
Techniques to help you get into the end state, if you're struggling
Obviously when it comes to appearance, it's based on what you're seeing in or on yourself. So, visualizing your new appearance is important and, with that being said, visualizations can easily help you when it comes to manifesting appearance changes.
I've talked about creating vision/manifestation boards. In the case of manifesting appearance changes, these can be very helpful because you have something to physically look at. Put together a printed collage or a Pinterest collage of pictures that reflect how you want to look. Maybe put it somewhere that's close to your mirror or your bed, because then you have that visual there to boost/hype yourself up. You can look at it and say, "That's me" without looking down on yourself and saying something like, "hey, why don't I look like that now?"
You can also do what I did and set a person you admire appearance-wise as your profile pic. I love how Sabrina Carpenter looks and I'm using her as my own visual reference for how I want to look, because there's things she has that I'm manifesting for myself. Setting her as my profile pic on here helps because that picture of her is right there every time I log onto Tumblr. It's right there in the corner of my post, every single time I'm writing something or reading a post back to myself. You could even set it as your phone wallpaper. Most of us are checking our phones a lot, so that's a way to consistently visualize.
And, of course, affirming is also most important when it comes to manifesting anything. Let's use the example again of manifesting a height change. You can robotically affirm to yourself something along the lines of, "I'm [this height]." Maybe imagine a conversation in your head with a friend where they're like, "Wow, you're so short/tall! How tall are you?" and you're like, "Oh, I'm [this height]." Or, affirm to yourself, "Dayum, I look so good today!" It's a simple affirmation that can easily make you feel good. I'll always encourage you to be your own biggest hype man. It is so good for your mental health to cheer yourself on.
Does me wanting appearance changes mean I'm insecure?
No. Manifesting changes in your appearance does not automatically mean you're an insecure person. And, to be fair, it is 100% okay if you do feel insecure about something - we all feel insecure about ourselves in some sort of way, appearance-related or not. Don't point fingers at yourself and put yourself down, thinking, "I shouldn't be manifesting this. I should love myself for how I look now." And certainly don't let other people tell you things like that, too.
Let me be clear: Manifesting how you want to look can be an act of self-love. You can love yourself enough to know what you want/prefer and what will make you happy. Part of why we change over time is to help ourselves grow as a person. Part of why we make changes to ourselves can be to make ourselves feel better and happier if we aren't in a good place.
You can also still be happy with how you look in the 3D realm now but prefer to change things about your appearance. It's healthy to have that feeling of preference over the feeling of desperation. It's the same as being okay as a single person but preferring to be in a relationship because you like that feeling of companionship or being okay with your current job position in an office but preferring a WFH position.
BUT, let me also clarify, you obviously don't have to be okay with how things are in the 3D realm. Realizing what you don't want/like in the 3D realm is what gets the ball rolling on manifesting something different. Use your lack of self-confidence to fuel that push into the end state. You care enough to change something - you can. But, of course, don't leech onto your appearance in the 3D realm and tell yourself you need to change right this second. Remember: ignoring the how, ignoring the time, and being indifferent towards the 3D is what pushes you right into the end state. It's a massive paradox, I know.
