Welcome back my loves. Today let's talk about some hidden manifestation tips that might change everything for you, the kind that you don't see plastered all over social media, the ones that aren't in the typical vision board and crystals starter pack. I am talking about the deeper, sneakier, more soulful shifts that actually unlock your desires, the hidden keys that make manifestation feel less like doing it right and more like being who you truly are. If you've been trying to manifest your dream partner, the next level income, some radiant health or even just some more daily joy, and it's not quite landing, I promise you're not broken, you're not a failure, you're not doing things wrong. It's probably just because no one ever gave you these less talked about but more seriously, life-changing manifesting tips. So today I'm going to give you three hidden manifesting tips that can make your desires not just possible but achievable for real. So grab your favorite drink, cozy up and let's get started.

Speaker 1: 0:59

So why do we even need hidden tips or secret tips? And that's really because most manifestation advice skims the surface. It's really aesthetic, it's curated, it's meant to fit into very short video clips, short form video and, yes, affirmations and scripting and feeling into your vibe and energy can help. But those are tools. They're just tools, and without a deep foundation, having tools can really leave you spiraling and wondering why it hasn't happened yet, or worse. What I think is the worst thing that can happen is what's wrong with me. So these hidden tips are really about getting under the hood of your energy. They're about reclaiming your power in the most gentlest of ways for your soul, and they are real. They go beyond the surface level stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:53

The first one is that you don't have to deserve it. One of the biggest, sneakiest blocks in manifestation is that you have to earn your desires, that you have to be more healed or more spiritual, more productive or just better before the universe says, okay, you've done enough, here's your manifestation. But, honey, the universe is not your boss, it's not your parent, it's not some mystical gatekeeper with a clipboard checking things off. The universe is a mirror. It responds to who you're being. The universe is a mirror. It responds to who you're being, not how much you've proven yourself Deserving is a human-made metric. Your desires aren't prizes that you win. They're echoes of what your soul already knows is meant for you.

Speaker 1: 2:42

Feeling like you need to deserve can show up in many different ways. It can show up in checklists or feeling like you have to have some kind of moral standard or I have to be the good person. For I always say that you can totally debunk that quickly if you look at the assholes in the world who have all the good things that you actually want. They run their own businesses, they have the freedom of their time, they have the money to do things that they want. And for people to say money doesn't buy happiness, let me just insert that money is the frequency that makes our world go round. If you are not struggling to pay your bills because you have enough money to pay your bills so you don't have that stress, then yes, money buys happiness because it's taking away a stress that doesn't need to be there so that you can be happy. Does it buy all happiness and relationships and all that stuff? No, what I'm saying to you is money alleviates stress or it lets you experience things that do make you happy. Maybe you want to go do yoga with goats, but that costs money. That is the frequency of exchange in the world today, so it can open up. Happiness comes from the inside, but money alleviates external factors and makes the reality more conducive for you to explore that happiness Deserving can also feel like.

Speaker 1: 4:02

Maybe you assume, because this was me. When we talking about human-made metrics, I used to give myself internal metrics of why people deserved things more than I did. So I always tell the story about how, before I made five figures a month that I don't work for, I manifested parking spots because I had to believe I could deserve the parking spot. One of the things that I used to tell myself when I went to the store was oh, I can't have upfront parking because the people who park up front, maybe they have kids or maybe it's harder for them to walk, maybe they're in a hurry, and like, I always made up this reason why somebody else was more deserving than I was of having upfront parking, because, in my mind, they deserved it more because of and I made up stories in my mind of why anybody but me deserve to park up front at the grocery store, and it was based on my ideas of them, you know, needing it more, them being more worthy. That was the idea in my mind this deserving, and I made up human metrics as to why they deserved more.

Speaker 1: 5:18

And then I realized not only did I do that with parking spaces, I did that with everything in my life, that other people deserved it more. Maybe they should have it more. If they were suffering, I'd rather them not to suffer and I could just suffer. It's okay, because they need it more, and that went into scarcity and that went into worth and all kinds of things. So instead of asking yourself do I deserve this, ask if you're open to it. Because I had to say I'm going to be open to these parking spaces unapologetically.

Speaker 1: 5:50

And when I was able to break through in that portal, then all these other portals opened up because I was dealing with the root cause of deserving and I decided when I did this that I was going gonna teach myself to outline exactly what I did desire that I didn't have to wait. The spot was open. You know how sometimes you wait for people to back out. I'm not patient enough to wait for somebody to back out because in my brain I could say well, I could just park and walk up there by the time they back out. I'm a very efficient person. So my parameters were they don't have to back out like. So my parameters were they don't have to back out Like. The spot is already open, it's within the first three. It does not matter if it's a busy time, a busy store, the mall.

Speaker 1: 6:31

I remember one time I went to Ikea on a Saturday in the like prime, you know, noon time frame, and I was a passenger. My daughter was driving me because she had a bigger car for what I needed to get Still within the first three. Because another parameter was it doesn't matter if I'm the driver or the passenger, we get upfront parking. And so I made these parameters and I didn't put anything on there about anybody else, I just said that's what I get, there is enough for all. So asking yourself if you're open to it and then allowing that version of yourself to exist now, because I did have to reprogram myself to say I'm open to having an upfront parking spot. So this is a total permission slip to stop micromanaging your worthiness, because you're already worthy period. And if you have to start with something smaller, then start there. Because for me, I had to start and believe in a parking spot to be able to expand into more money, more time freedom, more decision-making in my life.

Speaker 1: 7:44

And many of us carry these really deep childhood conditionings around earning love and earning rewards. And that's really what I was doing, right, I was saying well, the person with kids has earned the spot, or the person who's in a hurry has earned that spot more than me right now. I know it seems silly, but it's not. But it wasn't, it was everything. That was the portal. So if you were taught to perform or to be good to receive affection, then this pattern is going to bleed into your manifestation. Your desires aren't rewards, they're reflections, and you're allowed to receive without justification.

Speaker 1: 8:22

Now here is the second hidden tip, and that manifestation loves safety. No one talks about that enough. More people are starting to talk about it, which I think is a beautiful thing, and that's that your nervous system is the backstage manager of your manifestations. You might consciously want more money, more love, more freedom, but if your nervous system sees that as a threat too big, too fast, too unfamiliar, it's going to shut the door, not to punish you but to protect you, because you manifest 95% from the subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind does not care about your abundance, it does not care about your happiness, it does not care about any of that. All it cares about is keeping you safe. Even if the familiar is something you don't like, it's something you don't want. The subconscious says well, at least it's predictable, so I know it's safe. It's just trying to keep you safe. That's its job.

Speaker 1: 9:18

I have an upcoming in-person event where we work specifically on this, because once again, you need to regulate that nervous system into holding more. And so I take my people through going from wishful thinking like possibility, like using possibility as the bridge to your ultimate desires, so that your nervous system can keep up and it doesn't completely shut down. Right, because we do have to get out of our comfort zones, since our nervous system is trying to keep us safe, which means the familiar, which means the same old, same old. But if we push too hard, too fast, then it's going to shut down, fight, flight, freeze, it's just going to give in on us and we're going to stay stuck. We're not going to be moving forward at all. So I use possibility to that big desire and bridge so that we can work our nervous system into the new without it shutting down. So we're going to do that as part of the Harvest your Desires event that's coming up in September, because creating safety does not mean pushing yourself into terror mode or just do it scared. It really means to gently expand your capacity to hold more. So I want you to kind of think of this as like stretching into a new yoga pose, instead of forcing yourself to do a split on day one. Right, you do it little by little.

Speaker 1: 10:41

I was a ballerina fun fact until I was 24 years old and I remember when I was in sixth grade, working towards having full on splits and every night I would work a little bit more and a little bit more on my splits, but it didn't happen in one day. That would just rip you apart, right, that's injury. That will just keep you stuck, like if you get injured, you're not making any progress. You stuck Like if you get injured, you're not making any progress. You just have to sit there. So we do it slowly and stretch into it slowly. I mean, I got to a point where I could bend so far into a pretzel beyond the splits. It was crazy, but it took slow patience, and so I like to use practices like breathwork. I went to a full moon women's circle last Thursday. It was amazing. It had breathwork in it. We did some shaking it out.

Speaker 1: 11:32

I love self-soothing rituals. It's just signaling the body that it's safe for expansion, and I use a way to do that when it comes to visualization, vision boarding, scripting it comes to visualization, vision boarding, scripting there's a way to infuse things into your practices that allow you to take your nervous system along with you so that you don't end up in terror mode, so that you don't end up breaking before you grow. And this is why people feel more at ease when manifesting, when they're focused on nervous system healing, because you're opening the door energetically and physically. And the third hidden tip is that your desires are directional and they're not deadlines, because we often think of desires as finish lines, like when I have X, I'll finally be happy and confident and at peace. But what if your desires are not destinations, they're invitations, because it's not an ending.

Speaker 1: 12:36

When you shift into seeing desires as directions instead of deadlines, everything changes. Because you release pressure, you stop measuring your worth by whether or not something has arrived yet you start asking who am I becoming as I move towards this? They are directional. You always want more. You know how they're like. Oh well, people are never satisfied. And then you go into doubting Do I want this? Was I supposed to want this? Maybe I wanted the wrong thing and that's not why I'm satisfied. That kind of thinking. It's not that you're not satisfied, it's that you're ever growing and ever changing and the more you experience, the more you go and experience, because you were here to live life. You're not here to get to a certain point and stay there. You're not here to get to a point to say, oh, I have the stable job and I have the house and I have the XYZ that society says I should have, and now I'm just here. They're not destinations, you don't arrive. They're invitations to experience something new. And then you get the manifestation and you experience it. And then there's another invitation. It's like going to a whole bunch of different parties. There's no deadline, everything changes.

Speaker 1: 13:50

I remember when I thought staying at a certain hotel was chef's kiss, right, just a regular room. It was sort of on the beach. It's a resort I go to all the time. But I would stay in like the least amount of room at this resort because it was right on the beach. But I would stay in like the least amount of room at this resort because it was right on the beach, love the beach, and I would stay at this resort. And it was like, you know, the two queen beds, just like the normal room.

Speaker 1: 14:14

Well then one year my husband decided he was going to take us and we were going to go on kind of like a little staycation. We live in a big Metroplex area so we don't have to go far to feel like we've gone away and to have a really great experience, like we can literally go 45 minutes down the road and feel like we're in a completely different place. My husband decides we're gonna go stay on a canal. It was gorgeous, and we're gonna stay in the presidential suite and he booked it for us. Um, I'll never, ever think the room I stayed in at the resort is what I want again, like because I experienced something new. So now I always tell him if we can't afford the big suite, then we can't afford the trip, because that's just what I expect. Now we must stay in a suite, hands down, that's it. And ever since then we have stayed in suites because I had that experience and it was an invitation and I grew.

Speaker 1: 15:12

And I want to also let you know that, because your desires are directional, they're not deadlines or destinations like you keep moving forward and I think a lot of times we apologize or we try to stay humble. I'm like no, as long as I can stay. No, I'm going to be unapologetic. If I can't stay in a suite, I'm not going. If there's not a suite there for me or I don't have the money for said suite at said place at the time, then the trip, then I can't afford the trip. This is no qualification for me to travel Period Unapologetically Because I like it, it feels good and I don't want to go back and that is okay. I think sometimes we think if we get to a certain place, then that's the okay place, that, oh, every now and then to stay in a suite is a treat, but I'm at the okay place and I should stay there. No, like I stayed at the resort, I stayed on the beach, okay, great. Well, now when we go to the resort, it has to be a suite at said resort Because we expand. So don't expand and then contract Because you feel like you have to, or you have to apologize or it makes you a better person.

Speaker 1: 16:17

Going back to hidden tip number one of deservingness or earning to get the thing, because we've been programmed to be humble and not to want certain things unapologetically, that we should be. So ever grateful if we get these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and you got to experience it once. Don't be an asshole and a jerk and say that you know you can't go backwards, that's so stuck up. Be stuck up if that's what it is, if it makes you happy, that's my thing, it makes me happy, I don't want to go backwards, I do not go backwards, I will not go backwards. And many times we stay stuck because of that too, because we feel like, oh, I only got this once. That's a miracle mindset I made a whole other podcast about. We don't manifest miracles, we manifest lifestyles.

Speaker 1: 17:10

So just remember that desires are like breadcrumbs, leading you back to home, to yourself. They show you the edges of your growth, where you're ready to soften, stretch and become. When you stop holding them as ultimatums and start holding them as guidance, you become the magnet, because your energy shifts from grasping to allowing, instead of making them a deadline. Had I stayed in the suite one time, I would have thought well, I met the deadline, that's all for me. No, we keep growing into it and it leads you to yourself For myself. I like things like that. I don growing into it and it leads you to yourself For myself. I like things like that. I don't travel often. I'm not a big traveler. It's not really my thing, I'm a homebody. But when I go, when I do decide to travel, since it's something I don't really tend to do oh, I'm going to do it big and big and big, and I make no apologies for that.

Speaker 1: 18:11

So I really want you to think about, when you are journaling, when you are scripting, what would the version of you who already has the desire choose and let your desires inform your micro choices, how you dress, how you speak, how you hold yourself Do that? I want you to remember that these three manifesting tips they may seem subtle, but they really, truly are energetic game changers. Does that make me like old? Does it show my age when I say game changers? Because truly I mean they are. I don't know what other word you would say.

Speaker 1: 18:54

Remember that you don't have to deserve it. You have to allow it. Make space for your system to feel safe to receive, and let your desires lead you, not limit you. If there's one small thing that you can take away today, please let it be this you don't have to be more perfect or more healed or more anything. Start from now. Start from you. Your desires are closer than you think, not because you are forcing them into place, but because you are finally allowing yourself to live like they are already on their way. Come back to this episode whenever you need a reminder that manifestation isn't about proving, it's about becoming. Keep going, keep growing and remember that you were made to manifest to rearrange your reality to match your desires.
