Manifested more profit (Long background + process + success story)
I am a self-published author with a freelance proofreading/editing and beta reading business. These past few months I've been struggling with anxiety as I wasn't sure how I'll be able to make ends meet since I was short of clients for the coming months (and my book sales/royalties aren't enough yet) and my family's been pressuring me into getting a more practical job rather than live off my passions. I make a decent living with my online business, but to other people's standards (especially my family's) it is not enough to live a "comfortable" life. Because of this, I wanted to prove to them that I can be successful doing what I love and coincidentally discovered Neville.
I've been reading Neville Goddard's books and reading posts on this reddit community to manifest my goals/dream life, but they didn't seem to work at first (I was impatient and had lots of doubts). I couldn't do SATs or imagine/feel myself living in the end (which is ironic, because imagining/writing stories is what I do for a living!) because every time I try to play my desired scenario in my head I keep shifting from 1st Person to 3rd Person POV, my mind wanders, or that little voice in my head just tells me that it is not possible, which seems to block my manifestations.
In order to fix this I tried to tweak what I was doing and used what resonated with me.
I read about some of Neville's techniques like mental diets, the lullaby method, Be Still And Know that I AM God, and the "Isn't it wonderful" technique, which I feel like I resonate more towards rather than SATs and so I've been doing all of those for two weeks. I used two weeks as a target because one week is too short and during the first week I did these, I was inconsistent. Two weeks should be enough (for me) to see whether or not it works or just a coincidence.
Some things to note:
Mental Diets: I used mental diets to break down my limiting beliefs and help me with my anxiety and recently saw a reddit post about telling that voice in your head to "thank you, but f*ck off" whenever that voice in my head rears its ugly head. Note: Whoever posted that post, thank you so much and shout out to you!
EFT Tapping: Though this is not a Neville Goddard Technique (nor am I advertising them, but for transparency sake I decided to include them just in case it potentially contributed to my success in manifesting) I also used EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping - which is basically tapping certain points in your body to release any limiting beliefs or anxiety while saying affirmations or addressing what is causing your anxiety or stress) to help with my mental diet and remove my limiting/negative beliefs every morning and night. You don't have to do all of them all at once, and you are not required to do them at all. I just use this technique because I feel like these are what I need to help with my mental diet. Note: I wouldn't say tapping was the only reason I was successful because I've been doing EFT Tapping in the past--way before I discovered Neville and the results were hit or miss (hence why I stumbled on Neville Goddard. I wouldn't discover him if I always manifested easily using EFT) Here's a sequence of Youtube Videos that I tap along to every morning and night:
- Clear/Cleanse Chakra. (Brad Yates video) Especially useful to unblock/clear/cleanse the Root chakra as this pertains to your concept of security and if you have a blockage here, you block wealth and have more anxiety with anything that covers your concept/sense of security. Note: I am not an expert in Chakras, I just learned from someone else that if your chakras are blocked it manifests into physical ailments/stress/anxiety. Some people recommend meditating to open and cleanse/clear your chakras but I find it really hard to meditate. My mind wanders and there isn't really any quiet and private places in my house to actually meditate.
- Happiness Beyond Belief. (Brad Yates) Because I suffer from anxiety and depression (after the passing of my father and a lot of things that happened in the past few years), I use this to help me feel happier and boost my mood. It usually works as soon as I finish tapping along with it so I highly recommend starting your day with this.
- I give myself permission to attract more money (David Childerley) If you want to attract more money, this video is useful. Honestly I'm not sure if this is the video that helped me or the other ones I am listing. I personally like this as it is more positive and uses only one affirmation that you can easily memorize. It's perfect for repeating throughout the day without having to re-watch the video. You can also replace the affirmation "I give myself permission to attract more money" for whatever affirmation resonates with you and tap the key tapping points on your body.
- My FAVORITE Tapping technique for miracles (Kristyn Avalos) Also one of my favorite EFT tapping videos as Kristyn just has this calm aura about her and she has her own success story in the beginning. The affirmation in this video is essentially being open to "Something big is coming/on it's way to me" which reminded me of Neville Goddard's "Isn't it wonderful" success story of the woman who wanted to manifest a lot of things but didn't know where to begin/how to start.
- EFT/tapping - I need more money (Marie Houlden) If you have a business and are anxious about how you'll find clients, this tapping video would help you release those anxieties and allowing things to just unfold. What's great about this video is that Marie's wording resonates for a lot of us online business owners (i.e. struggling to find clients, being surrounded by other people doing the same thing as you, feeling like no one is seeing your business on social media, etc.)
- Client Magnet (Brad Yates) Similar to the previous video to help you unblock any limiting belief pertaining to attracting any clients.
- Wouldn't it be nice to have more money? (Kristyn Avalos) It is like the "Isn't it be wonderful" lullaby except it is a tapping version of it.
Goals/Desired Reality:
- Make over $800 each month through my "online" business. Note: I didn't specify which business (this would be important later in my success story)
- Remove limiting/negatives beliefs and doubts and be more positive or happier
- Have more proofreading customers.
The importance of setting your intention.
Before doing the process below, it's great to script or write down your desired outcome or reality. Be specific and know what you are really want so you can get even more powerful/accurate results/manifestations. I'd recommend doing this on your first day (and if you want to script or write your goals down every day.) For me, one day is enough because constantly writing it or thinking about it would put you in the state of lack or doubt. Set it and forget it!
My process:
- Every morning I start off with EFT Tapping. I try to use all the above mentioned videos or if I'm busy, I would usually choose the Happiness and/or Chakra Cleanse in the morning to start my day on a positive note and try to do the other tapping videos throughout the day, when I have a free time, or at night before bed.
- Throughout the day, I say Neville Goddard's "Isn't it wonderful..." and follow by "something big and amazing his happening to me" whenever I am doing something on autopilot or whenever I remember to say it. Believe it or not, I even have alarm clocks at certain hours of the day with affirmations or reminders to say this (9am, 6pm, 9pm).
- If I have any negative thought, I'd acknowledge it, and squash it down by saying "f*ck off, everything works out for me" Or repeatedly say the law as Neville quotes, "Be Still and Know that I AM God"
- At night, if I didn't do any EFT tapping, I'd do all of the above mentioned tapping videos, followed by raising my mood at night either by listening to music or watching funny videos (my go-to mood booster is the Taskmaster Series on Youtube) basically detaching myself or distracting myself so that any limiting belief or doubt doesn't find its way in my head again.
- Before bed, I would do the lullaby method (and because I have a lot of things I want to manifest I try to capture it with one short affirmation). Tell myself that "everything works out for me", "It is done", OR "I am already living my dream life, isn't it wonderful?" Before lulling myself to sleep saying (in my head) the following affirmation repeatedly: I AM SO HAPPY! Side note: While "Isn't it wonderful" also works and I manifested small positive things happening in my life, I didn't really resonated to it as much as I AM SO HAPPY. I suppose it's because my end goal is really captured by the feeling of being happier.
Anyway, moving on to the things I've manifested...
Success story:
While some of my specific manifestations wasn't exactly as I wanted it them to be, I was blessed with more than what I wanted. Last month, I was worried about how I would make ends meet since I didn't have much clients booked for the next few months and I was feeling frustrated because I hit a major road block for months now with my latest writing project....curse you writer's block!
I started doing the process I mentioned above and throughout the two weeks I've manifested the following things:
- My brother being a lot nicer to me and everyone in my family being in a more chill/happier mood. Most of the time, my anxiety and mood is affected by my family's mood.
- My mother is a lot more supportive of my online proofreading/beta reading business.
- My mother bought this expensive McDonalds BTS meal because she knows I like BTS and it was just so random because I didn't really care (the meal was basically just a regular meal only advertised by the boys) and she rarely buys McDonalds and wouldn't buy anything that expensive (or at least not worth the buck). I even told her "it's expensive, you don't have to...we can buy something cheaper" but she was like, "no it's fine. you should treat yourself every once in a while and since you earn your own money and give it all to me, you should at least treat yourself once in a while."
- On the same day we got McDonald's, my mother also wanted to go window shopping which I found really weird because we're both introverts who rather stay at home than walk around aimlessly without anything in mind to buy, but I caught myself and said "ah, this must be the process working as a result of these techniques I've been doing" and just went along with her by asking her what she was planning on buying and she was like "nothing in particular, you rarely go out. You should have fun a little, maybe you'll find something you'll like." We of course didn't find anything I liked while walking around, but that did lifted my mood.
- I have more control of my negative thoughts, immediately squashing them the moment they appear.
- A client tipped me an extra $10 because he was impressed by my work and told me he would reach out again for his future projects. This same client also initially hired me to beta read but suddenly changed to a full edit/proofread of his manuscript.
- My bestfriend got her dream car, immediately got pulled over by a cop for accidentally running a red light and was let off by a warning because she was a new driver (showing her learner's permit) and the adult with her had an expired driver's license--which of whom the adult forgot to bring with her, but the cop didn't know that and still left her off with just a warning rather than giving her a ticket. I added this because my bestfriend's happiness is important to me and like me she also struggles with depression and limiting/negative beliefs and to know that something good happened to her when she mostly focuses on all the crappy things that happens to her life, made me feel more relaxed and happy knowing that something good happened to her.
- My bestfriend is a lot agreeable or sees more reason whenever we talk to each other. She's been in many toxic relationships in the past and it is usually hard for my words to get through to her and we end up arguing or disagreeing, but lately she agrees with my relationship advice. I didn't manifest this but it is really surprising that she finally see's logic and does not toxic relationships control her life!
- Last week, the preacher of my church shared a good news that other preachers would be coming back again to teach our bible classes in late August. It's a good news for me because I like these classes and they're like grandfather I've never had. It's also the first time they would come twice back twice in a year (they were supposed to do missionary work throughout the pacific but since some countries do not allow people to come on from places with high COVID cases they decided to come back to our church. Note: they can come to the place I live as long as they are fully vaccinated and follows quarantine and social distancing/mask protocol). Today at church (it is a Sunday), I found out that they will start the bible classes on early August instead because they are not required to quarantine anymore if they are fully vaccinated (and having been following protocol the last time they were here) they are allowed to skip quarantine (as long as they and the congregation follow social distancing and mask protocol)
- My regular client (who frequently hires me to proofread/edit her manuscripts) wanted to schedule me again to do a second edit on two of her published book because her past editor missed a lot of errors--which solves my problem for next month on how I would make ends meet because now I am fully booked next month!
- I made $300 so far for this month and we aren't even halfway done with June, which is a rare as I usually make around $50 to $250 a month (most of my clients usually hire me to beta read, which I charge around $25 to $50 depending on the length of their manuscript. So if I had four clients who hire me to beta for a month I'd average on $100 to $200 only) and what is amazing about this is that I had more proofreading clients this month (which is one of my desires/wishes/dreams come true as I get to charge per word compared to when I beta read)!
- After I've edited a manuscript for one of my regular clients, she hired/booked me in advance for the next few months to edit/proofread her four upcoming manuscripts. Which solves my money problems for the next few months. For context, I was anxious about this client because she didn't get back to me or confirmed whether or not she received my invoice, but I kept telling myself "be still and know that I am God" and "F*ck off, everything works out for me" whenever I start to doubt myself and resisted the urge to keep checking my email until I forgot about it and checked hours later to find out that she finally paid my invoice and also asked if she could booked me in advance to edit four of her upcoming novels.
- I am a lot more motivated when it comes to writing and I've clearly plotted a new story (with potentially standalones/series/spinoffs following different characters). Wrote a couple of chapters for my latest story which I haven't done in months because I was busy with my online business and I suffered from writers block.
- My mother revived my family's construction business because my uncle has a client that he wants to work with us. Which was really interesting because one of my goals/manifestation is to make $800 each month (specifically through my online business). The client my uncle wanted us to work with wants to work with us for a long term project on two locations ($800 each) and they immediately hired our business ASAP. All of this agreement took place ONLINE (the proposals and contracts sent back and forth via email and through communication between my uncle and the company). While my mom says our profit (or share/income) for the project would be low after the expenses and taxes (i.e. building materials, hiring/paying the employees), I didn't really care because at least the company is revived again (we didn't renew the business license last year because we were just a small construction business and my uncle who helps with the proposals and bidding wasn't winning the bidding, but he apparently knew the company or had a friend who works there so the company immediately hired our company, no questions asked. Now I'm tweaking my goal on this business to prosper and have more clients, but hey, it was interesting that the project was the exact amount I wanted as an income--while it wasn't exactly through my book sale royalties or my online business if I add it all together, I made more (whether indirectly or directly) than $800 this month!
- Also while doing all of these techniques I had this idea of opening a laundromat. Or I had this strong urge or desire to open a local laundromat and name it after my father who passed away last year. Interestingly me and my mom were at this laundromat and I had that thought, telling my mom it would be really profitable because everyone (where I live) frequents the laundromat (imagine the weekend alone having 50 to 100 clients each day, and one load of clothes cost $2.00 to $2.50 each. If an average household had 3 to 4 loads of laundry that would amount to $600 - $2,000 for having people wash and dry their clothes. It would be a great investment!) My mom even told me that it definitely is a profitable business and my father even wanted to open one but since my father (who was a technician/electrician and knows how to fix heavy duty machines) passed away last year, that idea was scrapped because he's the only person my mom knows who knows how to fix washing machines/dryers in case they break and we would need a lot of capital for the business. While this business hasn't manifested yet, I just know in the future it will come to fruition. I just feel really good and sure about it!
Sorry for the boring/long post! I'm just so excited that I was able to manifest all these things in two weeks!
UPDATE: Here's a quick EFT tapping video for removing limited beliefs that may be blocking your manifestations. Karen also guides you as you tap along:
