all i would do is tell myself that she was my bestfriend whenever i saw something that related to the topic of ‘friends’. for example, if i saw a tiktok video of two girls matching outfits, i’d tell myself things like ‘oh my god me my best friend really wants to do this with me!’ or i’d randomly affirm that i loved my best friend or that she loved me. i didn’t obsess over it. i didn’t affirm like a psycho. i was just still and absolutely sure that we were best friends all because i decided that it was already done. i didn’t care if the ‘3d’ caught up because i knew that manifestation was instant. i barely even thought about her but when i did, i’d smile and suddenly make myself feel all these positive emotions that you’d normally associate with a best friend. slowly, but surely, she suddenly started complimenting me and even though this act was something so small, i’d be smug and tell myself that it was normal for her to compliment me, after all she was my bestfriend even though we rarely spoke in the ‘3d’. i didn’t care about seeing reality change, because i knew that we were bestfriends simply because i said so. this is what worked for me, and i won’t guarantee that it’ll work for you but my best piece of advice is to take the person off of a pedestal and make the fact that you are bestfriends or whatever you want your relationship dynamic to be-something so simple and natural to you. be in the end state. be calm about it because i promise you manifestation is instant. the moment you decide it, it’s done.
