I’m the love witch! I’m your ultimate fantasy! SAMANTHA ROBINSON as ELAINE PARKS — THE LOVE WITCH (2016) dir. Anna Biller
Setting an intention = deciding to do something.
Stop overthinking intentions! By definition, intention means, "a thing intended; an aim or plan". Setting an intention is simply just deciding to do something.
"I'm going to eat an apple right now" = a set intention
"I'm going to shift right now" = a set intention
"I'm going to finish my homework" = a set intention
Setting an intention is literally just deciding to do something when you want to. That's all it is! So stop overthinking it! You don't need to meditate and do 100 backflips to set an intention. Literally just make a decision. That's it.
"I'm going to shift. I'm going to manifest. I'm going to the void" yadda yadda and so on and so forth. Those are all set intentions. Just make the decision to do something and chill. I know it seems really easy, and that's because it is. It's not supposed to be hard!
you don't have to believe the 3D. you are allowed to observe your 3D but you don't have to acknowledge it or give it any importance because it is simply the result of your old thoughts. in your new mindset, there's no place for the crappy old story or any 3D circumstance created by it.
circumstances are malleable. they can change at any moment & they don't matter!!! changing your thoughts will eventually change how the circumstance shows up in your reality.
keep affirming. it doesn't matter if you believe your affirmations, say them anyway. have 2-3 go-to affirmations & loop them. they don't have to be painfully robotic, feel free to change the words as you feel comfortable.
do not doubt your ability to manifest. this entire law depends on your beliefs! you are a powerful creator, never ever doubt the enormous amount of power your thoughts hold.
partial manifestations or manifestations that haven't occurred yet are not failed manifestations, keep affirming till you get the exact output you visualised! don't get discouraged by hiccups! this is literally a law, it is always working. keep persisting and being faithful to your mental diet. there's no way it won't work!
work on your self love and self concept. self-concept is not necessarily required to manifest but it helps you build confidence and stability when it comes to battling old stories, doubts & fears. it gives you confidence to trust your manifesting process.
stop waiting around. stop trying to manifest signs or confirmation 'if your affirmations are working!' - all this implies lack & insecurity! your job is simply to choose your desired reality and persist in it. you don't have to manipulate the 3D or even figure out how/when it will happen! TRUST YOURSELF FOR ONCE that what you're doing is working! who cares when it's gonna show up, you're gonna be as happy if it shows up tomorrow than you will be if it shows up two months later. what's a little persisting in front of getting to experience the feeling of finally having your desire?!
keep an open mind. anything can happen any moment. keep persisting, knowing that you don't give into old thought patterns & only put your energy into the new story!
Anyone who dismisses love cannot understand reality. This is true of all realities—physical reality and the reality of thought, but also especially the reality of the biosphere, the reality of bodies. No biological description is complete unless it is laid out as a biology of love. And conversely, we do not understand love if we fail to see that it is linked to the living world, to the experience of inhabiting a living body that trembles in joy and winces in pain. Love is a practice of enlivenment. The erotic is the genuine principle of life that permeates the world of bodies and life-forms.

- things I have manifested + how
BEFORE LOA:
☆ my body was shaped like a rectangle 💀
☆ I didn't have a lot of friends
☆ I was very average looking-
☆ I was really dissatisfied with my life
☆ I used to have a second-hand mobile phone that didn't work well...
☆ I was struggling with my sub channel ( I had like 800 subscribers when I started using loa )
☆ I was a huge introvert
☆ I used to have uneven skin tone and acne all over my face
AFTER LOA
☆ I have a curvy pear shaped body <3
☆ I'm friends with literally every single person in my school lmao
☆ I love living my life istg
☆ I look ETHEREAL- my eyes have def gotten bigger and my lips got plumper ++ I had a growth spurt making my legs longer than before !!
☆ I have a brand new, *really pretty* phone [ I have a phone reveal in my ig highlights 'me being me' if anyone's interested 😀 ]
☆ my channel is growing rapidly :))
☆ I am the most extroverted person you'll ever come across in your life sksksk
☆ I have clearer skin and I love myself now
[ based on true facts, I'm not scripting here lmao, I'm just telling y'all this because sometimes even I doubt whether ppl on internet are just scripting or they actually manifested smth 💀 ]
( ♡ ) I'd ignore the fact that I have acne all over my face and then I'd pretend I'm a model with perfect skin
( ♡ ) I'd look in the mirror and admire my body like "ermm I'm so pretty damn", and then as usual, daydream of myself having my desired body
( ♡ ) while making my subs, I'd make them as if I'm making them for thousands of people, putting out my best I could
( ♡ ) I'd talk to myself all the time while pretending I'm a celebrity 😩
( ♡ ) STOP TRYING SO HARD.
this is the best tip i can give you ngl-
i manifested so many things with 0 effort and you can too !!
the easiest way to manifest is to decide something is yours and then completely forget about it
( ♡ ) to make people interact with me, I'd make up scenarios and conversations in my head :D
I'd say their lines in my head and think their thoughts for them, p.s. I'd narrativize the whole thing as if it's a fanfiction
( ♡ ) I wrote in my diary that I want a new phone ( this reminds me, you know there is ALWAYS a method that works for you yk? it can be scripting, visualising, subs, 3-6-9 method or simply persisting <3 for me it's DEFINITELY scripting tbh )
🎀 act 'as if' you already have what you desire, fake it till you make it
🎀 literally be delusional af istg, let people call you crazy or whatever just ignore them
🎀 don't 'wait' for it to arrive, know it's yours
🎀 pinterest vision boards >>>
🎀 just decide it's yours and let it go, if you don't see results in the mirror, persist that it's already there even if you can't see it
🎀 stop watching videos on 'how to manifest xxxx', instead live in the assumption that you already have it
if you don’t want to read all this i posted a much more straight to the point version my instagram. this is just more detailed.
ᥫ᭡ | PRETTIER VOICE
since i’ve been affirming my voice got way girlier. i had one of those kind of deep voices and i didn’t like it because people always said i don’t look how i sound. fuck that’s supposed to mean like huhh lmao. it also got softer and my accent isn’t as bold as it was before. i’ve been contemplating on if i want to get rid of my accent completely or not but I’m satisfied with how it is now.
ᥫ᭡ | ONE TONED BODY
as a melanin gyal, i had a lot of discoloration & hyperpigmentation on my body. especially on my knees, elbows, underarms, 🐈, etc. all that shit is gone now. i never seen my body so perfect like this, if only i had a man to show it off to lmaooo. now i can finally wear shorts without thinking everybody looking at my black ass knees 😅.
ᥫ᭡ | PRETTIER HANDS AND FEET
my fingers used to be a tiny bit curved but now they’re straight. also the wrinkles on my hands are also hardly noticeable. i never wanted to do boomerangs of my nails when i got them done cus of my hands but tuhhh my ig followers gone get tired of me, watch. and as for my feet they were already pretty before tbh. but the hard stop went a way so under my foot is completely smooth now.
ᥫ᭡ | BIGGER BUTT
this is my favorite! my butt got bigger and i got my desired shape too. i love the upside down heart shaped butts because they just look so damn nice. booty shorts gone be looking 10x better mm.
ᥫ᭡ | THICKER EYELASHES
i’m an eyelash puller and my eyelashes would fall out easy. i touch my eyes one time and boom, there go ma lash. since i’ve been affirming all the gaps are filled out which and it’s brings more attention to my eyes which is so flattering. someone even complimented them saying they look like boys eyelashes because we all know for some damn reason boys be having the most voluptuous eyelashes lol.
ᥫ᭡ | MAIN CHARACTER MOMENT
me and my sister went outside lateee last night and there were these fine ass boys riding motorcycles. one of them caught my eye though and man oh mannnnn he was something. wearing all black MM he knew what he was doing. anyways lmfao he asked me if i wanted to get on the back (he chose me out of allll the girls in the area) i guess to just spin around the block or something but my sister said if i did she would snitch to my mom lol. i guess cause he was older or because she’s scared of motorcycles idk but i didn’t end up riding.
ᥫ᭡ | LIGHTER BROWN EYES
i ended up taking this one off my list since i didn’t really like how it looked. i like having dark brown eyes i think they’re so sexy even though it’s very common. but i seen the difference after just an hour of affirming.
Forge your own path forward. Choose what lights you up. Advocate for yourself, your journey.
Avoid wasting time, energy and money like I did. I heard someone say once that most of leveling up is just having the money to do so. Since not everyone has 10,000$ to drop on an overnight physical glow up, it has to be done in phases.
When I started leveling up I was so overwhelmed with all this information I didn’t what to do with. I spent the first year wasting resources on steps I wasn’t ready for. Only to have to step back and start over at the beginning of 2021. I didn’t even have an idea of what I really wanted at the end of my journey. Physically, romantically or career wise. I just knew I wanted to be rich and different than I started.
The glow up is a journey so it may take over a year or so to complete fully but it’s so worth it.
This is in order of what should be done and cost.
Workout routines 3-4x a week at home that you are excited to do!
Get in the habit of drinking 2 liters of water a day
Fix your sleep schedule! 8hrs a night.
Nails grown and done yourself
Pick 5 hairstyles to rotate
Eyebrows waxed, tweezed, or threaded.
Have makeup and makeup remover.
For now just use drug store makeup. As long as it looks good and doesn’t break out the skin no one can tell where you got it from. Besides drug store makeup has gotten much better over the years.
Makeup needed: Foundation, primer, mascara, eye liner, lip liner, blush, contour, lashes, concealer, eyeshadow, setting spray/powder + Brush set.
Daily makeup style picked out
Learn to sew and fix your own clothes to fit properly
Get a notebook to track every single expense for the glow up journey
Take online free courses/lessons. Pick up like 4 or 5 new skills to beef up your resume or your social intrigue.
Sit down with a snack, a pen, a notebook and read the blogs you look up to.
What’s the point of having access to all these tips, tricks and life hacks if its just a reblog to be tagged and forgotten or worse lost in the shuffle of your blog?
Read.
Just in general. Read for fun. Whether its good, bad, trashy, or so bad it’s good. All reading is time well spent.
Also read self improvement novels.There are so many of them. Pick a category (ex personal finance, emotional growth, eating well, beauty, nutrition, time management, persuasion, procrastination, seduction, romance, friend making, mental wellness, strategy, investing) and go wild. Finish at least 2 a month. 1 a month if taking notes.
Cost: 87$ max
Make an emergency fund of 1,500$. 3,500$ would be ideal.
1,500$ for real emergencies only! 1,500$ saved in 1 year is 30$ a week. 60$ a week for 6 months. 107$ a week for 14 weeks.
2,000$ for later upgrades. It’s a slush fund so you don’t have to worry about finding money for whatever you need later.
To save 3,500$ in 1 year 67$ a week or 135$ biweekly or 291$ a month. In 6 months 582$ a month, 270$ biweekly, 134$ a week.
There’s no reason to look like a million dollars and have 5$ in my bank account. Priorities.
This can be done while in the General level up and Polish phase.
Cost: Time. Discipline needed.
New outfits that compliment your body shape.
I will continue to sing the praises of capsule closets. Its the easiest way to go shopping and have a bunch of outfits for next to nothing. I recommend 23 pieces: 3 pants, 4 dresses, 3 skirts, 7 shirts and 2 jackets/coats and 2 pairs of shoes.
2 quality purses (1 large/1 small)
Consignment stores have luxury bags at 50-75% off.
Gym membership (paid off for a full year)
Take some pressure off your own shoulders by paying for it in full. Planet fitness 10$ a month, 10$ down + fees comes out to 180$ a year.
Go 3-4x a week. For at least 30 mins of sweating.
2 perfumes for your signature scents.
One for casual day to day wear to work, to the store, to school, to hobby classes. One for special occasions like dates, events, company parties.
Quality Makeup that works with your skin type.
Oily, dry, or combination. Your face is your baby. Treat her well.
New glasses that fit your face shape or contact lenses.
Keep up with your nails, hair, eyebrows and healthy habits.
Cost: $$$
Lifestyle (diet) change.
Research and experiment until you find one that keeps you full, satisfies you and allows you to eat your favorite snacks/meals in moderation.
Skincare routine
Makeup remover, cleanser for morning and night, toner, serum, essence, anti-aging creams, moisturizer, sleep mask, exfoliator, sunscreen.
I started with the Korean 10 step skincare routine to find what worked for me and got rid of the steps I didn’t like or didn’t need. Like sheet masks, and essences.
Full Body Beauty Routine put together:
Skincare, shower routine, haircare, nail care, below the neck skincare.
Upgrade your room, sleepwear and loungewear!
Invest in a room you actually want to work and relax in.
Map out that business you wanna start.
Business plan, website content, business cards, goals, products, licenses needed, social media presence. Look into grants to get your funding.
Write down short term and long term savings goals
Saving mindlessly makes people more likely to spend it because its money in a jar, coming out of their check for no defined reason. Give yourself a reason and you’ll be less likely to mess up your own progress. Examples of goals:
3-6 months of emergency savings- long term
Retirement- long term
Business start up- short term
Last round of upgrades- short term
A house- long term
Investing money- short term
Vacation money- short term
Make a budget and start saving in earnest!
Set aside time for studying, reading, relaxing and recharging daily.
Make a vision book/board
Make a lookbook of outfits, makeup styles and aesthetics you love
5-10 year goals written down
Pick out any further degrees, certifications, licenses you want for your career.
Pick up new hobbies.
Keep reading, learning and gaining skills from free courses.
Research different personas and brands to find which you want to represent.
Clean up your social media presence.
Cost: Time, patience and $$$
Get a lock box for your birth certificate, SSN, check book, warranties, and receipts.
Get your teeth straightened and whitened.
Braces, wisdom teeth pulled, veneers, filled in crowns ect. The smile is the most inviting thing about the face. Make it pop.
If you wear glasses or contacts: laser eye surgery.
Body hair removal. Laser or Electrolysis.
Both work. Electrolysis destroys the hair follicle but the sessions take longer and may cost more because it may take 6 or visits to do the full area. Laser is cheaper but most women have to continue to go back for maintenance and its easy to burn black women, even in an office. Home laser devices usually don’t service brown to dark skinned women.
Start seeing a dermatologist, nutritionist, and personal trainer monthly
Get a passport booklet
If you want plastic surgery, start saving/get it done.
Start that business! Order the business cards, design the website, create the products.
Get a closet full of clothes that matches your persona or personas.
Sets of outfits for Work, Casual, & Formal settings. You can pick different styles for each type- Cottage core casual, business barbie for work, and 1950′s pinup for formal events.
This is where you go all out. Nothing but quality fabrics, statement pieces, and jewelry that will last at least 2 years or more.
I’d go with a 40 piece capsule closet: 10 tops, 10 skirts, 10 Dresses, 5 Jeans/pants, 3 shoes, 2 Jackets.
Don’t forget stockings, panty hose, breast pasties, and bra strap holders.
Examples of styles: Cottage core, classic feminine, sexy, cute, alternative, sporty, business, y2k, 70s, 80s, 50′s, soft glam, barbie/bratz doll. Ectera.
Take those hobby classes
Get your scholarships, degrees and certifications
Pick a persona and create the social media, and irl community presence.
Keep track of your costs!
Treat it like a business and you’ll see where you’re wasting money, how you can improve and create a budget for future use.
Keep notes too- what brand was the lipstick you bought, what color, how did it feel on you, did it look good, how long did it last, did it come off easily when eating, would you buy it again?
Sections: One time static costs. Recurring costs, Product page with notes.
Cut out toxic people.
Anyone that makes you feel less than or perpetually uncomfortable should have their access to you provoked.
“I did XYZ to better myself, and this is how they treat me?”
It’d be like paying 2,500$ for a seat at the La Scala, Milan for the best classical music concert in the world only to be behind a pillar in the corner with someone next to you on their phone all night.
Or applying for a job after you got the highest degrees available in your field, were valedictorian, and only applied for established multimillion dollar companies. Only for them to offer you 10$ an hour on a position worth 50$ an hour.
This one is last for three reasons. One it’s not always as simple or easy as blocking them and never speaking again, an exit strategy may be necessary. Two sometimes it pays, literally, to have these people around. If they have contacts I want I’ll get them before I go. If being around them cuts down the costs of something significant in my life I save the extra money while I plan my exit strategy. By the time I’ve left I’ve gotten my payment for any sabotage they’ve thrown my way. Three it’s an ongoing process. New friends can turn to new enemies in the right conditions. You may never be 100% free of having any snakes in your garden so it’s good to stay vigilant.
Cost: Time, Patience, Empathy for yourself, $$$$$
