You Can Still Manifest, Even When You're Feeling Like Crap
Apr 23, 2024A question I often get from clients is, “What if I feel emotionally low right now, but I want to manifest clients, income, or something else? Won’t my vibration be off if I’m not feeling positive emotions?”
Luckily, the answer is no, you won’t be messing up your manifesting vibe if you’re feeling so-called negative emotions.
Here’s why:
In the manifesting world, the most important energetic alignment practice you can do is to be authentic to your truth in this moment.
For example, let’s say I’m really feeling very upset about my daughter’s behavior in the car on the way to school. Maybe she said something really snarky with a lot of attitude, and now I’m angry and upset as I head into my workday.
Let’s say, at the same time, I’m also excited to manifest a new client in my business.
What we’ve all been taught to do, for the most part, is go ahead and get focused on work, reminding ourselves that “it’s not that big of a deal” and we can handle the kid thing later, after work. There are tasks that need to be done right now.
However, if I go ahead and focus on work, I’m automatically suppressing my emotions about my encounter with my daughter. Those emotions don’t go away; they hang out in my body, creating unconscious tension and nervous system activation.
I might find myself getting snippy and irritable as I try to get work done, because those emotions are still present in my body.
I’m now resisting the fact that I’m angry and upset, and I’m trying to just ignore those emotions.
Then, what if I also decide that I need to be more positive so that I can manifest my new client?
Maybe I try to do some affirmations or imagine what I want. Sure, I can take those actions steps…but I’m still resisting the emotions I’m really feeling underneath.
Now I’m not doing my manifesting practices from an inspired energy - I’m doing them from a resistant energy.
And, as you may have read or studied in popular Law of Attraction materials, the vibration that kinks up our manifesting the most is resistance!
The quickest way out of this conundrum is to sit down for a few moments and acknowledge that yes, I’m feeling angry and upset. If I admit this to myself, I’m actually being really honest about my emotional state. In a way, that automatically feels like a relief.
I no longer have to try to suppress that emotion to create a “higher vibe” energy so I can manifest a new client.
Usually in a situation like this, I actually would take five to ten minutes to journal out the feelings, sit with them as sensations in my body, and become fully aware of the nuances of the emotions.
I might ask these questions: What do I need, for me, in regards to this situation with my child? What feels aligned?
Even if the anger and upset don’t fully dissipate (and often they don’t) in five minutes, I’ve stopped the resistance to the emotions. I’ve stopped trying to push myself into a different emotional place.
Now, my body is relaxed, I’m relieved, I feel authentic in this moment with my emotional truth.
Because of this honesty, I’ve actually already shifted my vibrational state into a very magnetic place. Relief is a “high-vibe” emotion because it causes us to feel inspired toward creative ideas again.
I don’t have to force myself into an emotional state of joy or calm. Instead, I can just be real about what I’m feeling right now.
To make this even more effective, if I’ve already booked time into my calendar for the week to do things I enjoy, I’m automatically allowing joy to flow into my work week. I don’t have to try to feel joyful - it’s going to happen naturally.
This means that throughout the week, I’m mostly just feeling relief from being honest about my feelings with myself and joy or delight from taking care of my spirit.
This is the powerful manifesting formula that will keep you in a vibrational space to manifest a new client throughout the week, no extra effort needed.
Personally, I prefer making things as easy as possible, since single mom life and owning a business can get hectic if I pile on a lot of extra steps or processes into my day. I love knowing that I’m staying in a vibration that will manifest what I want just by automatically taking those specific action steps each week.
My Slacker Magic System for coaches is designed to help you do exactly that; automatically take action steps in your business that put you into a manifesting mode without you having to even try. This is the core of what I teach in my group program so that you can easily stay in energetic alignment and manifest clients.
You’ll learn exactly how to stop adding extra processes and steps into your workday, because you’ll know exactly what steps you need to take in order to attract clients and which ones are just fluff that isn’t necessary (or is even taking you down the wrong path, away from attracting clients).
You’ll know exactly how to share your message with the world, because we’ll clarify it together. We'll even write your core niche message, and this will be the foundation of all of your social media content and sales page content for the future.
Attracting clients will shift from feeling hard and mysterious to clear and real. Most of my program participants start to see their income move up into the $5K+/month range within 8-12 weeks of working with me.
