7 Popular Mistakes Beginners Make When They Start Manifesting
13:28 Share

Today I want to share seven popular mistakes with you that beginners often make when they start manifesting and these are big misconceptions, these are big mistakes and these are big traps that you want to avoid.

The very first trap that you want to avoid is to put yourself under so much pressure that you think you have to be positive 24-7 and that you have to fake it if right now in the moment you react to something in your external world.

I mean, don't get me wrong, of course, we want to shorten the refractory period of your reactions. We want to shorten the amount of time that you waste reacting in a certain negative emotional state to something that is happening in your external world or something that you see in your external world. However, we still have to recognize that we are human beings and as human beings we react.

That's also something that Joe Dispenza shared with us at one of the advanced retreats where he said he reacts all the time. So if Joe Dispenza reacts all the time, then we also have the permission to react.

But he then also said it all depends on how long you stay in this reactive state. Which means, if something happens in your life that is not so favorable, something that you don't like and that you don't want to see, then of course the very first moment it is natural to have a reaction to that. It is natural to, for example, react in a sad way, in an angry way, depending on what happens in your external world.

However, it is not normal, at least it shouldn't be normal for somebody who truly immerses himself or herself in the art of manifesting to then stay in this reaction for a prolonged period of time. In other words, if you stay in this reaction for days, for weeks, for months, and you then do what Dr. Joe Dispenza often

describes where people then say: "Yeah, you know, I am this way and I think this way because ten years ago this person betrayed me." Then of course you're doing it wrong and you're doing yourself a big disservice. However, in the first moment when I, for example, hit my knee on the table, my first reaction isn't: "Oh my god, this is so amazing, I'm so grateful!" Of course not! The first reaction is pain, the first reaction is maybe saying: "God damn it, why is this happening?"

But then I put myself out of this emotional state again. So don't put yourself under so much pressure where you think that, and this is a trap that some people fall into when they start manifesting, that whenever you have one negative thought or one negative emotion, that immediately your manifestation will collapse in itself like a house of cards. That's not what's going to happen. But if you then continuously work on yourself,

to get yourself out of these negative emotional states, to change your thoughts, which is exactly what we do together in the first week of my eight-week one-on-one coaching program, the Abundance Reality Shift coaching program. Then you will learn to regulate your emotional state. You will learn to actively think new thoughts that are empowering, that are supportive on your manifestation journey. And then it doesn't matter if every now and then you have a negative thought or negative

emotion because the majority of your thoughts and emotions will be positive because you don't put yourself under so much pressure and you continuously work on yourself and the next big mistake that people make is to manifest from lack and not from abundance and here's what i mean by that if you visualize yourself in the third person perspective and this is just my personal opinion here

So maybe it works for you, but for me it never worked, because I always had the feeling that when I picture myself and my life from the third-person perspective, I am manifesting from lack, because I'm looking at somebody. I'm not immersed in the imaginal act.

And that's why I decided to always visualize from the first person perspective, because then just like in a first person video game, you are immersed in the experience. You are living the experience. And that's when you signal to your subconscious mind and this signal then gets sent out into the field that you are already experiencing and already having what you want to manifest. And that for me made a huge difference. Which leads me to mistake number three:

And that's, if I may say it, the most popular mistake that people make, and that's to obsess over the when and how.

And this is also something that Neville Goddard talks about. He also said in multiple lectures that no man knows, and of course also no woman, but back then he was always talking about no man knows when a manifestation and how a manifestation appears. That is not your job. That's the job of the universe. So stop micromanaging the universe. Of course, we as human beings, we always want to predict because

Prediction gives us a sense of security, or let's say being able to predict the outcome gives us a sense of security. However, if you are now swimming in the river of change and you are floating in this beautiful state of manifesting, you have to trust the soup that you're swimming in. You have to trust the divine timing. You have to trust that the universe gives you exactly what you want at the right time and...

in a way that maybe you cannot predict at all. But that doesn't mean that it won't find you. Because we human beings, we always want to say, yeah, the money that I want, it will come exactly in this way with this product and this business. And I did that in the beginning as well. In the beginning of my journey, I always focused on this one struggling business I had. And I said to myself, that's how my money will come. And then the increase of abundance was just a little bit. But when I then said,

"Okay universe, I'm open to all kinds of possibilities, send me the money however you want, that's when all the ideas, that's when all the synchronicities, that's when all the serendipities showed up in my life." And that's what you have to embrace. Don't focus on the how and the when, focus on your daily manifestation practice and then you are on a good path and then the things that you want will show up in your reality.

And this leads me to the next mistake, and this is something that especially beginners are struggling with.

Because if you are starting out on this journey of manifesting and you're amazed by it and you say to yourself, oh yes, I'm manifesting, I am manifesting. And then you're manifesting for three days and then something happens that is not so favorable. This is not something that you enjoy. Then immediately you give up and you say, oh no, this doesn't work. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened to me. But always remember, there is a time lag.

and this time lag is either small or big depending on the frequency that you reach between you sending the signal out into the field and you then drawing the experience back to you in your physical reality. Which means all these energies, all these thoughts, all these limiting beliefs that you haven't overcome yet from one year ago, one month ago are still dragging on in your vibration. Which means if you then start manifesting and manifesting

then nothing happens in the beginning or maybe something happens that's not so favorable. Remember that this is a part or it can be at least a part of the process. So in this moment, the worst mistake that you could possibly make is to give up. Because that happens to so many people. They start manifesting, then they feel motivated, then something happens that they don't want and they stop manifesting again. Then...

They start manifesting again at some point because they say, okay, I have all the books, I'm listening to this podcast, I'm going to give it another shot. Then something good happens and they manifest even more. They affirm more, they meditate more. But then something happens that's not so favorable and they immediately give up again.

And then the whole thing starts again from the beginning, and this vicious cycle then continues and continues and continues. If you would only, just like a horse with blinders on, do your manifestation practice, raise your vibration, feel better every day, visualize your future, immerse yourself in the experience, no matter what happens in your external reality, then you will arrive at your destination.

And another big mistake is that, yeah, well, how should I say this? That you are settling for something that you don't really want. And this might sound a little bit weird, but it happens to more people than you can possibly imagine. And that's why it's so important that you really write down what your dream life actually looks like. Because we are so conditioned from Instagram accounts to believe that we all want the mansion with five bedrooms and flying in private jets and whatever. And maybe you want that.

then more power to you. But maybe you don't. Maybe you want to, like me, constantly travel. Or maybe you want to live off-grid somewhere in nature. It's completely dependent on your individual desire. But if you only consume different things

dream lives, or let's say different stereotypical dream lives from social media, then of course this clouds your judgment and then your desire is not pure. And this of course makes it even harder for you to manifest a desire that you don't even want in the first place. And by pure I don't mean something morally pure, I simply mean a pure desire is something that comes from your heart, something that you truly want.

So allow yourself to get clear about what you actually want. What is it that you want to manifest? What is your dream life? Get clear about that and it will be easier for you to reach that dream life because you actually feel the emotional intensity of having it. And this leads me to the next mistake and that's to ignore inspired action and to expect

All the magic simply showing up for you. And of course, I mean, magic is happening. Every synchronicity, every serendipity, every unexpected meeting, every direct download, every idea out of nowhere is pure magic, at least for me. I'm still amazed by it. I'm still in awe when I get these ideas that lead to more and more abundance for me. However, also keep in mind that

Manifesting is about combining the spiritual realm and the physical realm, which means that yes, on the one hand, it might come to you through a spontaneous idea in a meditation, which I always call a direct download, but it can also come to you in a way where you simply want to

Watch something on YouTube and then there is a certain course or a certain video or a certain book or whatever it might be that then leads you to more abundance. That can also be a synchronicity, even though it doesn't sound as magical. In the same way you might receive unexpected money or you receive ideas which then allow you to start a business and to build a product.

That's also manifesting. Always keep in mind, manifesting is both spiritual and physical. But if you completely block everything from the physical realm and you then meditate all day, you sit on your couch and you then say, okay, universe, give me the money and you get one idea after another, left, right and center, that would lead you to your desired reality.

and you then say to yourself, no, it has to come in a magic way where a fairy knocks on my door and throws the money in my face, then of course, again, you are doing it wrong. It's about being open to all possibilities and opportunities. And this leads me actually to the last mistake that I wanted to share with you,

And that has to do with you not only being open to all the different opportunities and possibilities, but you also being open to the idea that the only way for you to communicate with the universe is through emotions. I mean, yes, your thoughts also are powerful, don't get me wrong.

But if you only repeat your affirmations without feeling them, if you only do your meditations because I or Dr. Joe Dispenza told you that it's a good idea to do them, and you never really ask yourself, how would I feel if this reality was true? How would I really feel? And you then don't immerse yourself into this reality, then...

you are only struggling and you're only making it harder for yourself. But the more you practice to feel these emotions, to feel these wonderful feelings of your future, to go into these feelings and to practice it over and over again, the easier it will be for you to draw whatever you want to you.
