Why Your Manifestation Isn’t Working (and What to Do Instead)
For anyone who’s doing the work, but wondering where the heck the breakthrough is..
Lately, I’ve been sitting with something that might sound familiar:
I’ve been reviewing the visions I’ve written down, the manifestations I’ve prayed for, the actions I’ve taken and if I’m being honest, some things just haven’t landed yet.
And it’s been frustrating.
Because I know I’m meant for more.
I feel the next chapter.
But parts of my life still look the same. And the old stories the ones I thought I healed have been creeping up again in new costumes.
So, I’ve been getting really still.
Not as a spiritual performance.
But because the only thing left to do… was stop doing.
What if the “Not Yet” Is the Gift?
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had this realization:
The delay is not denial.
The pause is the portal.
I used to think I was surrendered but truthfully, I was just trying to control divinely.
I’d do the ritual, say the prayer, visualize the outcome… but underneath it was a quiet voice whispering:
“Is it working yet?”
“What else should I fix about myself to make it happen faster?”
Sound familiar?
Let’s Be Real: Doubt Comes for All of Us
If you’ve been feeling like:
• “Why hasn’t my manifestation happened?”
• “I’m doing everything right, so what’s wrong with me?”
• “Maybe I’m not aligned enough… or healed enough… or trusting enough…”
Then please hear this:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You’re just standing at the threshold of the unknown. And the ego hates that place. But your soul? That’s where she thrives.
Here’s What I’m Doing Differently Now (and You Can Too)
This is not a “3 steps to instant miracles” post.
This is me, hand on my heart, saying:
Here’s how I’m walking through this gap one breath, one surrender, one prayer at a time.
1. I’ve Stopped Trying to Earn My Breakthrough
Old programming told me I had to do more to deserve my next chapter.
Now I’m asking:
“What if I let the Light in as I am, right now?”
No fixing. No forcing. Just receiving.
2. I’m Speaking From the End, Not the Lack
Instead of praying from desperation, I say:
“Creator, thank you for aligning every detail of what’s next. Even if I can’t see it yet, I trust it’s already happening.”
It’s subtle. But it shifts everything.
3. I’m Plugging In, Not Spiraling Out
When doubt creeps in (because it does), I stop.
I close my eyes.
I breathe.
And I remind myself:
“The Light didn’t go anywhere. I just unplugged for a second.”
I picture the Light flowing through me like golden electricity. Not because it’s a magic trick but because it helps me feel connected again.
Prayer Is Not Begging. It’s Remembering.
I used to think prayer was a way to ask for what I didn’t have.
Now I see it as the way I remember who I already am.
Prayer is the moment I plug back into Source.
Study is what fills my consciousness.
Action is how I walk in faith, not fear.
And even though I haven’t seen every door open yet I’m walking as if they already have.
If You’re In It Too… You’re Not Alone
We are the ones choosing a new way.
The way of trust without proof.
The way of surrender without collapse.
The way of walking in our Light before anyone else sees it.
I’m with you. In the mess. In the magic.
And I really believe if we don’t rush this part we’ll come out on the other side as people who embody what we used to beg for.
And that’s the point.
With love from the in-between,
