Manifestation

Do you remember the fantastic film “Cool Runnings?” In the movie, one character, Yul Brenner, says to another, “Junior Bevell. Look in the mirror, and tell me what you see.”

Herein is the problem.

Your entire life is a mirror for every thought, belief and action taken. The problem is that we believe in our physical reality.

No money in the bank? Well, that’s real, Jan. Stop telling me it isn’t.

Cold, hard facts drive your reality, and those facts get you more of what you don’t want.

Moreover, from the moment you were born, the world told you how to be and think. Our brain is like a sponge during the first seven years of childhood. We absorb everything as a truth. Later, we may begin questioning facts but still trust the physical world to tell us how it is.

Maybe, as a teenager, you might rebel. Still, you’ll always comply only with what you can see. Nobody taught you to design your life. You just went along with everything like everyone else does…

Unless you’re a lovely rebel…

Reality Transurfing

In Vadim Zeland’s epic 780-page book Reality Transurfing, the author details the mirror principle. He says we must turn our conditioning on its head and stop believing in physical reality, what we can see.

Instead, look at the mirror image of your life. Look at what you created and start visualising a new image.

Live it. Breathe it. Imagine it.

Ignore it when physical reality smacks you around the face and says, “Wake up, you donut. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work. Grow up. Live in the real world!”

If we are all vibration and energy and connected to the source (we are), then it’s more a matter of reconnecting to the flow of abundance.

1. Focus on 2-3 things you want to manifest (always add “or something better”)
2. Remind yourself why you want these things. How will it contribute to your life? How will you feel when you have manifested them? Who else will it affect?
3. Imagine the daily lived experience of having those things.
4. Imagine standing in front of a mirror with your newly created reality and seeing the physical things YOU manifested.
5. Notice when you move from doubting to feeling and then knowing.

Imagine driving the car, sitting in the new house, holding hands with a doting partner or feeling happy when you look at your healthy bank balance. Embrace your manifestation fully, knowing it is in the flow of abundance, and your job is to assume it is yours, and all you need to do is choose what you want.

When you reach stage five, even if you cannot see your manifestation in your reality, TRUST that you have manifested it – or something better – and it IS on the way. Hold the “knowing” until it arrives.

In conclusion, be aware when you doubt or wonder how your manifestation can materialise. That’s not your job. If you asked for a million-dollar house and have only $1000 in the bank, it’s the universe’s job to sort the deets.

Some law of attraction gurus tell us that all we have to do to manifest what we want is imagine it, and it will be so. The trouble with that is when our wishes fail to materialise, we feel like a failure. We think we must be feeble manifesters because other people can do it, right?

Honestly, this was an issue for me for many years. I’d had a few incredible events where the universe unfolded my desires without much effort. However, the naughty universe, I think, lured me into a false sense of security.

I stopped believing. After my fiancé died in a cycling accident in 2020, I struggled to retain my faith in manifesting my wishes. Losing him wasn’t in my dreams. Life got a bit tough after that.

Gradually, I began reading Law of Attraction books and watching videos again. I genuinely wanted to reconnect with the source. 2023 was a challenging year that tested my faith in myself, people and the universe. I came out of it a bit dented but stronger and resolved to return to my spiritual roots.

Anyhoo, what do lawnmowers have to do with the law of attraction?

I sat in bed a few nights ago and contemplated how the law of attraction works. I figured the universe works alongside us, like a colleague working to complete a project.

Here’s the weird thought that popped into my head: –

Take a petrol-driven lawnmower with a pulley thing used to get it started. We hold the handle down, pull the pulley, and start the mower.

OK? Still with me?

We push the mower along, cutting the grass, and the lawnmower does its job. If we let go of the handle, the mower stops. So, here’s my analogy: –

1. We instigate the manifestation by taking action (starting the mower)
2. The universe cooperates because we have given it a directive
3. We must hold the handle (thought/intention/belief) for the mower (the universe) to keep working
4. If we let go of the handle, the universe assumes we no longer want it to work with us

I know it’s a simplistic notion, but I’ve found that I get more traction and better results if I take action. If I take my eye off the ball and start doubting the law of attraction, it agrees with my thoughts and disappears to help someone else.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my concept.

The law of allowing is likely one of the biggest stumbling blocks you knowingly or unknowingly encounter during your journey to manifest the life of your dreams.

Why is that?

Well, for one thing, you’re human; for another, we try to manipulate what is, gain control, influence the outcome, chase goals, and generally fight against anything that isn’t on our perceived map of reality.

Is It Genuinely Possible To Be OK With Whatever Does And Doesn’t Happen?

When my fiancé died in a cycling accident in 2020, my brain turned to fish food. I couldn’t grasp how David could be alive one minute and gone from my life forever in the space of an hour. Shock has a nasty effect on you physically and mentally, and I had so many things to contemplate about the impact on my life.

I clung to spiritual practices for five months before I moved to a smaller rental. Because the loss crushed my mental resources, I relied on the law of attraction to put me in the right place in front of the right people. I couldn’t help myself, so I prayed for guiding hands.

Alongside coping with the grief of losing my best friend and the love of my life, there was a question of financial survival. I had no money, no job, and no savings. After I moved, my emotional protection collapsed. I quickly found work and created an income, but felt hollow inside.

I questioned the Universe, God, or whoever oversees us. Why take one of the kindest men on the planet? I was baffled why my entire life was around loss? Why wasn’t I allowed to be happy and why did my happiness always have to end abruptly?

Three months later, I had to have David’s elderly dog put to sleep and shortly after, my favourite dog suddenly became ill and had to be put to sleep from an internal bleed caused by a tumour on her liver that we had no idea about.

I howled like a wounded animal driving back from the vet. How could life be so cruel? The dog that kept me laughing when I wanted to die was gone.

The final straw was breaking my hip in a freak martial arts accident in December 2021. Seriously, come on, Universe. I can’t take much more adversity.

So, you get the picture. Life was utter shit.

Waking Up

It took a long time, but in 2023, I began waking up. The Universe was, once again, laughing at my expense. I got laid off from two clients and suddenly found myself without an income again. But a weird thing happened.

I accepted. Stopped caring. I stopped fighting, and surrendered to the higher power.

It sounds easy, but it wasn’t. Like most of us, the urge to interfere is hard wired in me. How could I possibly allow whatever was to come without worrying about running out of money and becoming homeless?

My friends were baffled. “But you’re so calm, Jan,” they said, and I shrugged without explaining why I’d let go of control. I slipped into the stream of existence and told it to do as it wished. No longer fwould I fight or question adversity and would trust in the greater plan. I believed it would carry me into the stream of abundance, and it eventually did.

Weirdly, it’s working out.

How the Heck Do you Allow Everything to be OK?

Yeah, and I mean everything. You can’t pick and choose what you will and won’t allow. You take it on the chin for anything that does or doesn’t come your way. Here are a few examples:

• You look in the mirror and accept you are overweight and cannot fit into your clothes. Still, you feel happy you are alive and well.
• When a driver cuts you up on the road, you wish him well and acknowledge that you are safe.
• You don’t allow yourself to become unbalanced by adverse world events.
• You don’t try to change your loved ones to fit in with the version of themselves you’d prefer.
• You don’t try to influence the opinions of others even when you vehemently disagree.
• You see beauty and joy in the smallest things in life and nature.
• You accept physical pain, such as arthritis.
• If a relationship ends, you accept it has reached its peak and is no longer for you and the other person.
• You lose your job, and don’t get angry with your employer.
• A colleague goes behind your back. You accept he is a flawed being, as we all are.
• Your friend is making poor financial decisions. You offer support without judgment rather than “advising” her or commenting on her choices.

In short, you allow people, life and situations to play out around you without feeling the need to change what is happening or feeling insecure because it isn’t working out.

Try This Technique for Allowing

I just made this up, but it works.

Imagine there’s a door to a magical room. But toys are cluttering up the doorway.

You cannot get into the room, nor can anyone else. It’s Christmas, and you want to buy new toys, but you have nowhere to put them unless you clear away all the toys in front of the door.

The magical room is enormous and can hold many things you desire. Still, you like the toys and don’t want to move them, but you still want the new ones.

See the problem?

Oh, heck, maybe it isn’t such a good analogy, but I hope you get my drift. You cannot manifest something if the space isn’t there for it.

Making Choices

The law of allowing frees you from the desire to control. You still have choices, of course. Primarily, you can hoose how to react to external events. Choose love and seek emotional balance.

Allowing is challenging. It’s tough, and you will repeatedly fall back into controlling or resistance patterns. However, as long as you stay bound to these patterns, your manifestations will fall flat.

The law of allowing means there MUST be a space for the manifestation, and we MUST accept that it may come to us via a bit of a dog’s leg map.

If you feel you want to interfere, tell yourself, “It is none of my business. I trust the divine plan and accept this situation.”

Allow others to make their own mistakes. Be a friend, partner or colleague by being the person who doesn’t judge or feel compelled to share an (unasked-for) opinion.

Conclusion

I don’t know why David died. Perhaps I wouldn’t be the person I am now if it hadn’t happened. I’ve risen to challenges, overcome impossible odds and navigated life alone. I am supporting myself emotionally and financially, and, In June 2024, I embarked on a new chapter with an exciting business opportunity.

Had I been fearful, I would have found another “job” quickly and pushed myself back into misery. Life would have tossed me around until I landed where I was supposed to be. While training for the new business, I discovered I was profoundly missing creativity and authenticity. I have that now.

I still miss David and would give up a lot to have him back, but I accept that he departed from this life and gave me the room to develop spiritually and grow into a better person.

His death taught me that I can love deeply. I wasn’t fully aware of how much I loved David until he was no longer there. And let’s be honest, the Western world does not equip us to manage grief. We don’t talk about it, and it comes as a weird surprise when our parents and other loved ones die.

The law of allowing, though challenging, will have the biggest impact on your ability to manifest. When the ***t hits the fan, instead of reacting, detach with curiosity and say, “Well, that’s interesting.”

Good luck. Take your time; don’t beat yourself up when you slip back. The law of allowing takes self-awareness, commitment and dedication to practice. In time, it gets easier. I promise.

Do you often feel like your prayers aren’t getting heard and nothing is changing in your life? Well, get ready because I’m about to reveal a game-changer – a prayer that can work miracles in your life if you stick with it.

Your wishes haven’t materialised because you may have played the wrong game for most of your life, and that’s not your fault. This prayer isn’t just any prayer; it’s the key to unlocking the law of attraction in its purest form. Imagine your deepest desires woven into the fabric of reality and coming to you easily.

Imagine thinking like a billionaire and stepping into the endless flow of abundance.

When I started using the the magical prayer, I began seeing subtle shifts in my everyday life. Synchronicities began showing up, and I started feeling the magic that had been missing for many years. I’m on the cusp of massive change, life-changing abundance and the freedom I’ve craved my entire adult life.

Open your mind wide because we’re inviting true abundance into your life.

Step One: The Magical Prayer

Forget what you thought about prayer concerning the law of attraction; this is the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

Here’s what to do: say the magical prayer at sunrise or before bedtime. Why? Because that’s when your subconscious is wide awake, doing its thing, seeing what your conscious mind can’t. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and say,

“I humbly accept the gifts from my father and am open to giving the best of myself every day. Nothing can interfere with God’s will because everything is already created by him. I deserve a successful life overflowing with prosperity, love, and excellent health. I am no longer a slave to fear. I am pure love, so I deserve all that is good. I ask for these things in harmony with the entire world according to the Divine will, and thank you, Father, for hearing me.”

When you say the magical prayer, infuse it with deep feelings, unwavering faith, and strong belief. Remember what Jesus of Nazareth said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew 7:8)

In simple terms, that means if you ask, you get. If you look for what you want, you will find it; if you knock, all doors will open.

Jesus and our respected ancestors supported the idea of unity. Modern quantum physics calls it the principle of non-locality, showing that everything is connected in the Universe. This knowledge is deliberately kept from you because it gives you power. We are programmed to stay small.

F**k that; let’s turn the tables on smallness and take back our power, create everything we need and want, and become an extraordinary manifesting force.

Throughout our lives, we’ve been taught that we’re passive observers of reality, that life happens to us and that our outcomes are just a roll of the dice. Still, the people who shaped us, our parents and peers, didn’t teach us that we have more control over our lives than we realise, perhaps because they didn’t know and simply repeated their programming.

Watch the video below……

It’s Not Your Fault!

Society programmed us into an individualistic mindset, reinforcing a belief system contradicting our innate understanding, that part of us that is all-knowing and powerful. It’s time to shake off those restricting beliefs. Prayer is a powerful tool, a direct link to your true self, the Universe, and everything around you.

The Universe works through connections; when you tune into its vibes, you attract similar energies like Jesus said, “The kingdom you’re looking for is inside you. Reach into that inner power, the I am in you.”

Link up with the vast Universe by sensing that you will naturally attract what you want.

Miracles aren’t just for Saints and angels. You can have them too. Unlock your potential by connecting with your inner Divinity, your I am. Miracles are part of how things naturally work in the Universe, though we don’t see them much in our daily lives. They’re there, but we’ve become blind to their presence.

This prayer awakens your ability to see, hear and create miracles.

You can create anything you want if you enter a state of prayer, believing you already have it, and then you will receive it. That was Jesus’ promise to make your dreams real. Dive into prayer, knowing deep down that what you want is already yours. It’s not just hoping; it’s a promise.

Your thoughts hold power; they shape your world. Take charge, and you’ll guide your life where you want.

Step Two: Managing Your Current Reality

Your journey to craft the life you want is starting. Let’s move on to another practical and effective method of manifestation of Miracles. The first step is to look at the current circumstances you don’t like. Write them on a piece of paper, for example, your lack of money, poor health, overall work situation, and everything you no longer want to see in your life.

Understand that having a lot or not having much, whether money, love, or health, is like points on a scale. Doing well with money, struggling with love, feeling lonely, being healthy and not so healthy, they’re all in the same range.

The main thing is knowing these issues are different levels of the same basic idea. If money problems are bothering you, focus on what you want instead. List all the good things you want in your life and say prayers and positive things about them.

Get rid of any doubts in your mind when you’re feeling unsure. Don’t just say, “I don’t believe this.” Take control and say, “I’m working towards doing well with money. I’m on my way to getting the job I dream about. I’m about to find someone who loves me and makes me happy.”

At first, you may feel like a fraud. After all, reality is staring you in the face: the tax bill, unemployment, loneliness and the busted car. Don’t allow yourself to sink into the tangible crap of reality because, if you do, it busts the power of the prayer.

Step Three: Moving Into the Knowing State

Remember, the key is to have a strong belief that matches your positive goals. Picture what you want and believe it’s possible. The mix of imagining and true belief is a strong force that starts the journey to reaching your goals and dreams.

By picturing what you want and genuinely believing they can happen, you create a powerful force that turns your desires into tangible results. The Universe (Or God) will direct you to the people, circumstances or events necessary to achieve your goal.

Don’t focus on the doing. Simply look at what manifests, express gratitude and take inspired action.

The *doing* will happen automatically as your subconscious mind activates to confirm the new reality.  You will find yourself taking inspired action. You will be at the right place at the right time with the right people, and there’s an element of luck and synchronicity too.

When you believe – despite your physical reality – you eventually move into a “feeling” state. Celebrate that. It’s a sign you’re on the right vibration. Stick with the feeling, and you will inevitably move into a “knowing” state. That feels like placing an order for something you want and awaiting delivery. You “know” it is on the way, but you’re unsure of the delivery date. However, it is coming.

The “knowing” state is delicious. You start feeling excited and have no doubts about the Universe fulfilling your order.

Learn More: The Billionaire Brainwave

Note: By the end of 2024 I was in a truly knowing state. Nothing could shift my belief that something fantastic was coming. I manifested a new car that cost me NOTHING! and it’s only four years old. I finally got rid of my clunky, fourteen year old banger.

I created two new high-paying clients and other exciting things started happening. When you start getting results, you shift into a higher state of belief because you have tangible evidence that manifestation works.

Be Patient: Hold Your Mindset

I was battling with depression and loneliness for most of 2024 and found it challenging to hold the belief that my life could improve.

The honest truth is I struggle to sustain meditation practice. I need short audio tracks I can do in a few minutes. So, as well as reciting The Magical Prayer daily, I listened to audio tracks like The Genius Wave and The Billionaire Brainwave. These proven audio waves really helped to get my head straight and I finished 2024 feeling excited and optimistic.

I now have unshiftable belief that I can work towards becoming a millionaire.

I am still in awe of how manifestation works once you get to the state of knowing. It’s all about reprogramming your mind to undo all of the limitations that growing up put upon you.

Finally, trust in the higher power to handle your concerns, and don’t try to control “how” good things will happen. It’s not our job to work out the “how” of our manifestations. Trust the Universe and start feeling positive. When you feel super positive, it’s like it’s really happening, and you feel terrific.

In the epic 700-page book Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland, the author states that pendulums can negatively affect our ability to manifest our reality in the way we want.

Pendulums are thought structures created within corporations, political parties, religious movements, cults, large groups of people, and families.

The concept of pendulums is when a group of people are brought together energetically with the same thoughts. It creates a vibration of collective consciousness that we easily get swept into. For instance, the church is a pendulum, with the leaders encouraging their patrons to adhere to a fixed way of thinking within Christianity.

Observe political parties during an election. Campaigning politicians and their minions thrive on the power of pendulum influence by trying to sway people into their way of thinking, luring them with promises of policy changes and improvements to local services, etc.

Pendulums are not necessarily harmful to us – although, in many cases, they are – but awareness of them can help you avoid being pulled into one unknowingly.

It’s impossible to avoid pendulums altogether, as they are the fabric of many aspects of our lives. However, as a manifester, it’s essential to develop self-awareness to prevent the influence of a pendulum that could suppress your efforts at manifesting your dream life.

Reality Transurfing

In Vadim Zeland’s book, he encourages us not to be afraid of pendulums. Yes, they are powerful, but we must shape our thinking to learn how to use pendulums for a positive purpose and ignore them if they have the potential to be harmful or disorienting.

Pendulums can affect your ability to manifest.

The strength of a pendulum grows with the energy of its followers. The vibration becomes powerful as the thought energy creates a higher frequency for the pendulum. At some point, it develops an unstoppable momentum.

Here’s a thought. Think back to 2020 when the government first announced the Covid-19 pandemic. At first, nobody took it seriously. After all, we’d never experienced a pandemic, so we had no framework for how it might develop and affect our lives.

After the first lockdown, the pendulum began building. Then, as governments rolled out vaccinations and announced thousands of deaths daily, the world’s energy and vibration became locked onto the pandemic.

Upon the announcement of the shortage of toilet rolls, the bloody world went mad, fighting in the supermarkets over toilet paper.

Suddenly, the pandemic became real, and the world focused on the problem.

With more deaths globally – all of us knowing someone in our circle – the pendulum’s momentum was in full swing. There wasn’t a day the world news didn’t remind us of the impact of Covid-19.

Amid the anti-vaccination and conspiracy theories, pendulums gained momentum over the months.

Covid-19 was the biggest pendulum since the last war.

Then, somehow, in time, the Covid pendulum began to slow down. People stopped wearing masks, fewer people were dying, and supermarket shelves were replenished. Society’s thoughts turned to other things, and eventually, the pendulum died.

Stop Giving Energy to the Pendulum

Pendulums are hungry beasts. They need thought energy and vibration to survive. A pendulum needs a constant flow of adherents to sustain momentum. A destructive pendulum, such as a cult, will force its agenda onto its adherents until they forget they have minds of their own.

The news media is the worst protractor for pendulums. It broadcasts fearful messages daily to the masses, causing people to fret and worry about world problems and the future.

If you buy into the media, you engage with a pendulum that wants and needs your energy and gets lots of it without much effort. You’re a good person. You worry about people starving in the world, those at war, and dogs dumped in the streets or ill-treated by humans.

I’m not saying you stick your head in the sand and ignore the hungry media, but be aware of where and how you give your energy and thoughts. Divert worry into action and let the energy go. Don’t feed the pendulum. It will bite you.

The media is flooding us with stories of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it will take millions of jobs by 2030. If you start worrying about it, you’ve fallen into the pendulum.

Instead, look at your current skills and assess if you could benefit from additional training. It’s one of the reasons I shifted into affiliate marketing. After several years of consistent writing work, I noticed a lack of open positions and hundreds of applicants for open roles. I found it more challenging to find work. So, I diverted my skills instead of falling into the energy of Facebook pendulums of writing groups where they’re all fretting about the lack of work.

Now, let’s explore more about the types of pendulums we encounter.

Everything is Energy

Everything is energy. Thoughts become things as we springboard into action from our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. That which we resist persists, so as long as you fight a pendulum, you give it energy. It will keep swinging, pulling more people in to help it thrive. Ignore it, and it will leave you alone.

Make a list of all the pendulums you can think of, but here are a few to consider:

• Pharmaceutical industry – the biggest money-making corporations worldwide. Are they genuinely concerned about the nation’s health, or do they want to sell the most profitable drugs?
• Football matches – fans get swept up in the collective energy of team supporters
• Mass public events – like Glastonbury in the UK
• Political – enough said on that
• Religious groups
• Extended families
• Criminal gangs
• Wars

How to Avoid Getting Caught in A Pendulum

Whether you fight for or against something, you give energy to a pendulum. The only way to extinguish pendulums is to care neither way and let go of strong feelings or beliefs, whether positive or negative.

Pointedly ignoring a pendulum gives it energy, so admit to the existence of a pendulum in your life. If you’re feeling angry, unsettled, fearful or resentful but don’t know why, explore the presence of a pendulum.

After identifying a pendulum, the next step is to develop indifference. Even when you feel its pull, shrug it off without giving it mental energy. Disinterest will eventually collapse the pendulum because it cannot sustain momentum without the energy of its adherents.

Is It Easy To Shake Off A Pendulum?

Probably not, because we aren’t aware when we get caught up in one. As you develop awareness of pendulums, you might be surprised how many exist. Of course, they’re not all harmful, but you can differentiate between positive and negative pendulums with awareness.

I got caught in a “loneliness” pendulum after my fiancé died in an accident in 2020.

You’re at your weakest during grief, and over a few years, I spiralled into a malingering depression, believing I would be alone forever and would never find anyone again as unique as my fiancé. It’s only recently I realised I’d become trapped by a pendulum, often fed by other widows and how society negates grief.

Become curious rather than judgemental. Acknowledge your thoughts and allow them to dissolve. If you feel emotional, remain curious and detached as you observe your emotions. That way, you don’t get caught up in the game that pendulums play.

Conclusion

Pendulums are part of the fabric of life. We cannot avoid them, but we can prevent them from overly influencing our lives. Now you are aware of their presence. You have the tools that most of society simply do not have. Most would deny the presence of pendulums because they have become conditioned to their place within the pendulum and, even if they’re miserable, quite enjoy the stability of familiarity.

Reality Transurfing is a challenging book to read. It has a lot of repetition, although that’s necessary to absorb the content entirely. However, it’s a book I will keep forever and reread many times. The first reading is the hardest, and I’m excited to dip back in now that I understand Reality Transurfing on a deeper level.

Zeland has another book, Transurfing in 78 Days — A Practical Course in Creating Your Own Reality. It’s more of a glimpse of Reality Transurfing, and I understand it better after reading Reality Transurfing. 

In our version of reality, most of us subconsciously believe that we must work hard to make a lot of money. We might anchor onto making a high income by gaining unique skills, such as becoming a cardiovascular consultant or a top-notch lawyer.

But what about if we’re all getting it wrong? How about if making money is really a simple game that few of us know how to play?

What if you consider that taking the most well-trodden path is NOT the safest and may not lead to the pot of gold? The reason is that the “pot of gold” we long for has nothing to do with money and does not make us happy.

Underneath the desire for money is a longing for happiness, security or love, but we forget that in the chase for hard cash.

The road to riches is strewn with anxiety and comes at an expensive cost. Time, health, relationships, and family are often the losers in the game. Society determines the game’s rules; the deeper you get into the game, the harder it is to exit.

Reality Transurfing

In Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland, there’s something called the Mirror Principle. It’s easy to understand that we expect to see our image in a mirror. In reality, the reflection we see is not quite the same as others see, as we notice when we see a photograph of ourselves – “How do I look so old!!! Must be a bad photo.”

You created your world; your reality mirrors your thoughts, actions and behaviours. We cannot rely on the mirror image of our reality as a truth because, quite frankly, it is an illusion, though you may fight me to the death to prove otherwise.

The Reality Transurfing book is heavy-going. At 759 pages, it would break your toes if it fell on your foot. It’s not an easy read, though I plan to have another go. Meantime, I’m rereading Transurfing in 78 Days by the same author. It’s a little book with big messages, but you don’t learn the techniques like the BIG book.

Anyhoo, I digress.

Stop Playing the Money Game

I’ve played the societal money game my entire life, and it’s got me nowhere. I’ve never achieved a six-figure income and recently realised I’ve been playing the wrong game.

2023 may become the year I changed the game.

In January, a new CMO made my life hell and four months later, I left the company exhausted, feeling inadequate and with badly smashed confidence. Being in a hypervigilant state for an extended period wreaks havoc on your mental and physical health.

Then, a few months later, I got “let go” by another company despite consistent performance with most of my content ranking in Google page one results and rave reviews from my editor. HQ wanted compliant minions that didn’t work for other clients, didn’t have side hustles, and dedicated their time 100% for a few measly peanuts at the end of the month.

F*** that!

As a widow living in a rental, I had no choice but to go onto benefits. I found a little regular work, but it was writing a few features about dog behaviour, which I love. Meantime, I had plenty of time to think about what I wanted.

During the last few months, I’ve discovered how bloody awesome it is to be out of the corporate game. Despite being freelance, I was still exchanging time for money, and that, my friends, is the biggest scam we all get lured into. I started a done-for-you business that taught me digital marketing and it’s the best decision I ever made.

Believe – Take Action – Result

I’ve been writing morning and evening affirmations for several months, and stuff began happening that showed me alternatives for making money that didn’t involve handing your life over to someone else.

Though I am on the lower rung of my transition into a new money game, what is clear is that I have released the old game. It no longer works for me; I feel so far removed now.

I genuinely believe that making money is a game, and it comes with guidelines, some of which I outline below:

• Do what you love
• Be authentically you
• Make your own rules
• Access creativity daily
• Learn something new every day
• Don’t live by the rules of others
• Believe in your ability to create change
• Identify your money mindset limitations
• Do not trust the mirror of external reality
• Believe 100% that making money is a game
• You can change your external reality by changing your internal reality
• Refuse to participate in the “old” game, or at least recognise you are still in it and take the necessary steps to leave it.

One of the biggest cons of the societal money game is that money will make you happy. It does not. It might make you happy for a fleeting moment, but don’t expect long-term happiness.

Conclusion

In the new game of making money, the secret is to enjoy the process. Yes, you have a goal, but make it a process goal. For instance, one of my process goals is to do something creative daily. It’s non-negotiable because it makes me feel alive and connected to my soul. That might be writing an article, working on a book, creating a video, or images for social media content.

Focus on enjoying the journey. Outcome goals become meaningless when you reach them. You have nowhere to go and may have forgotten to plan a strategy for success. Most people don’t know how to manage success. They feel a churning burn of disappointment when they reach the perceived summit.

Consider thinking about your goal as a road trip. Pack up the camper van, take your essentials and enjoy each day as you visit new places, meet new people and learn new things.

Sadly, our brains take the path of least resistance. Neural pathways become hard-wired, which means that making changes is challenging. Implementing change can sometimes feel impossible, even when your life is utter pants.

The brain thrives on predictability, and the reason is that it wants to protect us.

Our brains have not evolved since the Stone Age, so our limbic system does everything it can to ensure our survival. If we start feeling uncertain, the brain automatically strives to find a way to get us out of that situation or stop us from taking what it considers a risk. The pesky amygdala gets triggered and bypasses the prefrontal cortex (the chairman of the brain). At that stage, we are powerless to make a rational choice.

Why Do We Get Thrown Off Balance?

When focused on positive manifesting, unexpected obstacles can throw you off course. Suppose you apply for a job above your current capabilities, but you have faith you can step up with some training. You get an interview and feel confident about your prospects.

During the interview, the hiring manager asks you a tricky question, and you don’t know the answer. You try and bluff your way through, but your confidence wavers. Suddenly, your resolve that this job belongs to you wavers. Your” request” to the Universe gets cancelled, and you don’t get the job. That knocks your confidence in yourself and your manifestation skills, and you struggle to return to feeling confident about your job prospects.

Law of attraction gurus talk about holding the vibration, but what does that mean? It’s not just about staying positive and writing daily affirmations. It’s more about the bigger picture. Yes, it’s a balance of combining how you think and what you say and do. It’s also about how you react to setbacks because that’s where most of us falter.

When the poop hits the fan, get into the habit of saying, “How interesting“, and notice if you start heading off into the rabbit hole of doom. You’ve asked for more money but lost your job, “How interesting.”

Remember that the Universe dislikes a vacuum and will attempt to fill it as quickly as possible. This moment is when you ramp up your positivity and belief in what you can achieve.

Something better is coming.

Hold the faith. Take action and ask for help from God, the Universe, the Great Spirit or whoever you believe helps you. Express gratitude for every small thing and affirm your requests.
