When your living space is a mess, don’t ever look around and think you should have managed better. Don’t look at the chaos as all the things you should have done. Look around and think, “Look how exhausted I’ve been. I have been saving my energy to save myself and that is right.” And then ask yourself what is one thing you could do that would make you feel more at home in your space–one thing you can manage right now. If that’s fluffing up your pillows, if that’s putting the cups back in the kitchen, if that’s writing a list of fruit you haven’t had in a while and going out to buy it, if it’s picking up your laundry from the floor and putting it on the chair, if it’s wiping the dust off your crystals–that’s enough. Do what would help you now. It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to be a mess. It’s enough to do what would help and leave the rest.

I feel like the word "visualize" is commonly used in spells and exercises instead of "imagine," because it feels more authentic and like you're not just playing make-believe, but I've got this theory that it really isn't any better, and could actually be holding a lot of people back.

As we know, some people think more in words, and some people think more in images. Some people have a hard time visualizing, or straight up can't do it.

Personally, I think in some words and some images, but mostly in a big abstract cloud of ideas and feelings which I have to translate into images or words in order to communicate. It's easier for me to translate ideas into words than images. When I do think in images they kind of just happen without me consciously creating them. To make them on purpose is a lot harder.

So, when you tell me to visualize a protective bubble (to use a recently mentioned example), I can do it, but it's not super solid. However, if you tell me to imagine a protective bubble, I can feel it and know it's there. I can know what color it is without having to see it. This is a much stronger bubble than the one I visualized.

Since I decided to quit trying to visualize and start imagining, things have become a lot easier for me, and have felt more solid. I'm also spending less time being distracted by the effort of maintaining a visualization.

Again, this is a theory, and of course your mileage may vary, but if you're someone for whom imagining is not an entirely visual process, it might be worth giving it a try.

Oh Hekate, from the infinite Above, Silence my mind and take me higher, Deeper, darker, Where the past is still and the future vibrates.

As the mind fuses with your every face, Let me open my many eyes. Let me see beyond and through.

As my arms become crossed and rigid, Let my fluid mind melt. Let colours speak to me.

I am yours. I am devoted. I am ready.

Let your vision engulf reality, And make dreams mingle with the living world.

Clarity befalls my mind. So mote it be.

LIL SHIFTING TALK: why there can be a formula.

There is no set way to shift, right? There's no formula, right? Wellllll in my opinion there kind of is.

If you intend to pick up your phone, you move your arm to pick up your phone, and that looks like this:

intention + movement = action

See that? How it's a nice, set outcome? Shifting is the same way:

Intention + method = shifting

Or even just:

Intention = shifting

If you intend to think about elephants, you're going to think about elephants. If you intend to shift, you will. Believe in that set, locked, it will happen type mindset. Tell yourself that if you do the smallest things, it will 100% end how you want. Don't overthink, don't panic, just go.

Hope that helps anyone struggling!! <3

i wish superpowers were real because then you'd get people making posts like "some people need to get real hobbies and stop making identical illusionary clones of themselves that your fist passes through like smoke when you go to punch them :/" and know exactly who the OP was talking about

Don’t be a robot while affirming. You’re making a decision to experience something particular in life. Say it with conviction. Say it with authority.

a little tip. use words & phrases like "always", "yes", "already", "ofcourse", "it's a fact that", "i know that" to make your affirmations feel more natural & acceptable to you. for example -

i am always being spoiled by everyone

yes i am irresistible to everyone

SP is already head over heels in love with me

ofcourse i am the prettiest woman ever

it's a fact that i manifest instantly

i know that i earn a thousand dollars everyday

also!!! write your own affirmations. don't use anything you find on the internet. ofcourse you can take ideas but customise your affirmations according to how you would naturally have your inner conversations - tone wise, language wise or even by changing several words. affirm what resonates most with your god self!

guys i stg i’ve been manifesting soooo much and so fast lately and it’s only been 2022 for two weeks!!! so here is the list of things i’ve manifested so far in 2022🤍

-i told my friends how i wanted to get sweetener by ariana grande on vinyl sooo bad but they barely ever repress it and i always miss it when they do and then i went on the vinyl releases subreddit a few hours later and someone posted a restock and i got to buy it!!

-i literally posted on here that i should manifest my drivers license and within a week i got a car + someone offered to take me to get my permit (yes at 21 years old ok) and also i finally took action and finished my online drivers ed course😌 (literally all i did was make that post and i didn’t think about it again)

-i was sooo hungry and i was complaining to my friends and i was like wouldn’t it be nice if they texted me “look outside” and there was food and a few hours later i got that exact text and there was an amazon package of snacks on my doorstep

-manifested getting my financial aid for school + getting a fat refund 🤑

-literally thought to myself that i prob wouldn’t get my refund until at least january 18th when the semester starts but then after listening to a self-concept tape overnight i woke up to my refund in my bank account😌

-passed a class last semester that i should’ve failed bc i didn’t even do half the work (🤪). i count this as this year bc ive putting off checking my grades until like two days ago lol. and i’ve been affirming that i passed all my classes :)

-i was convinced i accidentally threw away my birth certificate (lol) a few months ago when i moved but i just affirmed once that i found it and my dad told me he had it the next day even tho i’m like 100% positive i did not give it back to him lol

-also manifested myself remembering things multiple times this is something i love manifesting it’s so fun

-sometimes my cat scream meows in the middle of the night (ok he does it every night🙄) and i manifest him falling asleep on my desk chair and shutting up :)

+there’s more but i’m blanking cuz it’s 4am as i’m typing this hehe

but i’d like to add pretty much all of these things i’d either think about wanting it once and i’d get it or id affirm for a few times and literally still think negatively about it and still get it. sooo self concept guys. so important. it’s how i got everything on this list :)
