I’m pretty down right now. How do I go about this?
I'm not an expert yet, I've only started my manifestation journey about 2 months ago. But, for me, I try to catch the negative or doubting thoughts and ask myself "does this hurt me or serve me?" Once I've acknowledged that, I say to myself "it's OK to be upset; however, the Universe/Source/God (whatever your higher power or self is) is always working in my favor". I typically keep repeating to myself that God is working in my favor and only wants the best for me. I try to remind (sometimes it feels like I'm convincing) myself that whatever is best aligned for me will come to me.
I've also tried to me much more appreciative. I mentally say thank you for little things I'm observing such as:
I appreciate the green grass I'm seeing right now.
I appreciate the sun/rain/etc.
I appreciate that I am able to work from home.
Even down to the silly "11:11 make a wish", I've started just saying "thank you" instead of making the wish.
I found that once I started being more appreciative, better things started happening. During this quarantine I got a promotion/raise and manifested things I've been dreaming of for years (material things but still). My biggest shift was to stop asking about a particular POI in a reading and just being open to whatever the Universe most wanted me to know. This has posed its own challenge since it's hard to find someone who is good at General Readings
Once you start changing your mindset, I promise things will get better. Be the badass you were born to be, Heather!!
