You limit your flow of abundance if you do not use this type of affirmation. And this is a type of affirmation that most manifestors never use, that most spiritual coaches and manifestation teachers never even mention. Because it's all about writing down affirmations for the future that we want to create. Which, don't get me wrong, you of course also want to do that. That's a part
If, for example, right now you are stuck at making $5,000 a month, it's good for you to write down an affirmation, I make $10,000 a month. It is also good for you to write down an affirmation, I have a net worth of X, and to really feel yourself into it.
that then signals to the universe that you are ready for this level of abundance. However, there is a different way of writing affirmations that is often ignored in the spiritual community and that has an intense power, an incredible power,
to anchor you to a certain state of abundance. And I know that in the first moment, it sounds contradictory to the future-based affirmation of, I make $10,000 a month, even though right now in your physical reality, you're making $5,000 a month, or you're making $7,000 a month. But I want you, or let's say I invite you to bear with me for a moment,
Because I hope at least it will all make sense in just a few moments. And this is an affirmation style that I also experiment with more and more right now. And I want to give you a bit of a backstory why I decided now to dive in deeper into this affirmation style.
As you most likely know, in case you are a long-term listener, I went from making less than $1,000 a month to at some point making more than $10,000 a month and then also reaching $20,000 a month with the art of manifesting and by immersing myself into the imaginal act and by truly feeling myself into the feeling of the wish fulfilled. And now when a new desire was born within me,
and I wanted to go from 20,000 to 25,000 and then even higher to 30,000, I was faced with a problem. And I want you to now not see this in a way where
You think to yourself, okay, I can only use this type of affirmations when I actually reach 10 or 20,000 a month because it makes me feel really abundant. That is not the case at all. You can use the type of affirmation I share with you in this episode at any stage of the manifestation process, no matter what's in your bank account. And I will show you how and why in just a moment.
Because when I think back to the time, especially when I was making, I would say 3000 to 4000, and then went up to 10,000, I was intuitively using this type of affirmation. And here's how it works. Instead of writing down an affirmation that focuses on a future occurrence on a future event that you want to experience. So for example, instead of writing down,
I am making $10,000 a month, even though in your physical reality, you are currently barely making $5,000 a month, you are asking yourself the following question.
How can I make myself believe that I actually am already abundant? And I mean already by focusing what is already available to you in your physical reality. Because I had the, yeah, you can say luxury problem in this case, that when I then went from 20,000 to the new goal of 30,000 a month,
it didn't feel any different for me. And I also couldn't really think of anything that I would buy or do in this new life that would be so different from the 20,000 I make, that would somehow signal to the universe, yeah, I'm now in the reality of making 30,000. Because
I mean, let's face it, I live a very, yeah, even though I enjoy the luxuries of life, I live a very minimalistic lifestyle. I don't own a car, I don't own a big mansion, because I don't want that. I mean, yes, nowadays I could actually buy multiple apartments if I wanted to, but I don't want to. Like, I don't want to be bound to one place. And I also don't want to eat caviar and lobster all day long, and...
when I thought about what I should put in the visualization for my 30k lifestyle instead of the 20k lifestyle.
All that came up for me was I can already fly business class whenever I want. And yeah, I mean, if I wanted to right now, I could also buy first class every now and then, which is not really a big desire that I have because I personally, and I've talked about this with a lot of people, I don't really see that big of a difference from first class to business class. In fact, I'm not the biggest caviar freak, so maybe business class is better for me. And everything that I want to do, I can already do right now with the level of abundance I have.
And then I asked myself, okay, how can I make it then easier for me to reach the frequency of the 30,000? And the answer that came to me, which might go against what other manifestation coaches teach you, and I don't ask you to do it. I mean, it's just something that I wanted to share with you because it seems to work for me right now.
But well, just put it into practice, see how it goes for you. And I then wrote down affirmations that actually confirm already a state that I have right now. So for example, I said to myself, I am already so rich and wealthy and so abundant, because I already have half a million dollars in my bank account.
Which is true, I already have that in my physical reality. And again, a future focused affirmation would be, I am so rich and wealthy and abundant because I already have 1 million dollars in my bank account. But right now I'm trying to experiment with getting myself more and more into an abundant state by focusing on the abundance I already have.
that I already have in my physical reality, which of course makes it easier for my subconscious mind to say, yeah, of course, I mean, he already has that, so why shouldn't we feel abundant? And that's how I believe with my German logic that I then reach that frequency for even higher income. And now you might be saying, and this is something that...
everybody who's not at a certain level of abundance yet where they feel abundant would ask and that's Sebastian how can I use this strategy this way of affirming if right now I just have one thousand dollars in my bank account or five hundred dollars in my bank account and
Here we come to an important point, because here we come back to finding gratitude for things that seem a little weird. To give you an example, and I mentioned that in previous podcast episodes, this one testimonial from a woman from the Joe Dispenza YouTube channel, where she said that she developed gratitude for seeing two trees when she looked outside while she was actually in a wheelchair,
and really, really sick because she said to herself, okay, I have to find gratitude for something. So I have double vision. I see two trees instead of one. And every logical reason, every fiber of your being wants to say that is delusional, that is stupid, that is ridiculous. But I did the same in my physical healing journey.
I went into a state of gratitude when I looked at my sweet potatoes, which was back then the only freaking thing I was able to digest with a little bit of vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a little bit of vegetables. That was my diet back then. I mean, I was so skinny, you can't even believe it because I was eating zero protein. But anyway, that's
That's a different story. And I then try to find gratitude for it. In the same way, what I do with these affirmations is to confirm to my conscious mind, which can then open the door to my subconscious mind, that I'm already so abundant because I already have this abundance in my life. And now you might be saying, yeah, Sebastian, for you, that's easy. I mean, you are now in a state where you have half a million dollars, so it's easy to say I'm abundant.
Yes, but that wasn't always the case. I want to take you back now to the year 2020 when I embarked on my manifestation journey when in fact I had almost nothing. I was barely getting by. I was barely able to pay for food and for rent.
I mean, when I saved $100 a month, I had an extremely good month back then. So what I did back then was to combine this way of affirming that I now rediscovered again, well, sometimes it's funny how things come full circle, but that I now discovered again,
And I did it with the simplest, smallest things. And this goes also hand in hand with something that, for example, Abraham Hicks talks about, where they give this exercise of having, I think, $100 in your wallet, and you then spend it and you feel abundant. I mean, you don't literally spend it, but you spend it in your imagination while you walk through the mall. And that's exactly what I did. I mean, at the beginning of my manifestation journey, I was actually too sick to walk through the mall.
However, what I did was to look online for items and I asked myself the following question: Can I buy this? And I was deliberately searching for items that I could purchase, that I could buy.
And now, of course, again, most people would say, yeah, but I can't buy the sports car. Who cares about a freaking smartphone? Or even if you don't have the money for a smartphone, which back then I didn't have at one point. I then said to myself, okay, I can buy my damn potatoes. And I know, again, it sounds delusional, it sounds crazy, but I did everything I could with the physical means I had to convince myself that I had a certain level of abundance.
I even said to myself, which is true, I mean, to be honest, it's true, that so many people have nothing, they live on less than a dollar a day, they are homeless, and I have running water. I have food in my fridge. And I know this is usually something that parents always tell their children when they are ungrateful. You know, you have food in the fridge. And the child goes, Mimi, I don't care. However, it's important to really...
find anything that you can to feel abundant. And back then, I literally looked at a pen. I looked at, yeah, I looked at a CD, even though I didn't have any intention to buy a CD. And I said, I could buy that. I could buy that. I'm abundant. And yes, nowadays that I've progressed on my manifestation journey, nowadays I can say I'm so abundant because I've already reached half a million. I'm so abundant because I already make X amount of dollars each month.
But back then I didn't have this physical luxury, but I still tried to find ways to feel myself into an abundant state. And this type of affirmation, which we can call present focused affirmation, or we could also say present physical reality focused affirmations, these affirmations are incredibly powerful.
If you allow yourself to, no matter at which stage you are right now, to use them and to elevate your state of abundance, and then very soon you will also reach a level just like me, where I can now say I'm so grateful and I'm so abundant because I already have hundreds of thousands in my bank account. And that's what I wanted to share with you today.
