Manifesting

--- Quote from: russianred on January 21, 2020, 04:16:39 PM ---Star - Yes, I get your viewpoint, but I also choose to continue to practice manifesting (I think of it as more visualizing) because, as I wrote in my message, I think of it as a practice where I am choosing trust over fear. I try to choose every day to believe that my situation with POI will work out rather than thinking of all the reasons it won't. I DO think there is something to putting "positive energy" out there about a situation rather than fearful and negative energy. First, it's better for my own headspace! Second, I think injecting negativity into a cosmic relationship between two people just might affect the outcome.

See this is what confuses me, my experience is completely different. The more hopeful and positive I am in situations, the more they have tended to go wrong for me. The more I am casual and don't put my heart into things or expect the worse, the better the outcome usually is for me.

Star I am the same way. When I tend to be more hopeful and positive in a situation. The opposite usually happens. It has gotten to the point that I just plan for the worst and just hope for the best but keep it out of sight and mind as possible. Maybe that is why I haven't won the lottery yet. I keep thinking about what I would do with all those winnings. For my manifesting maybe I should think of all the negatives and I would win. lol

That's fair... someone else said that further up in the thread too, that expecting a negative actually helps. For me, I feel that I'm just in a better mindset... lighter... happier... when I can trust that the universe will give me what I desire and need. It's a challenge for me because that is NOT my default. I'm usually quite pessimistic. But with my current situation and POI, I feel better when I trust rather than expect that it won't work out.

Lol it's funny because people wonder why I'm generally so negative, and admittedly it isn't healthy but it seems to somehow work 😂

I'm glad you've found what works for you and empowers you, being positive is more healthy and refreshing so I've no clue why negativity works for me but the universe is a strange old thing.
