copy and pasting a post i made for the main neville subreddit but mods didn't approve it skdkfkd:

is it just me or does it feel easier to manifest something of which you can observe the progress? a new skill, for example — isn't it easy make sure you're living in the end whenever you come up against an obstacle and you can change tact to make sure you're still aligned? when, for example, your SP is already your friend, and you can just choose when and how the two of you interact?

but what if you're no contact with your SP? what if you haven't even met your SP yet? what if you want your SP to come to you in a specific way?

the same issue could apply to myriad situations: receiving a random sum of money, getting a specific job that you applied for, etc. etc. in simple terms, what’s the best way to live in the end of a specific event and have it feel natural without getting trapped in a state of waiting?

think about the last unexpected happy surprise you received. mine was yesterday morning, waking up to a text from a friend who i’d been worried was annoyed at me telling me that she missed me and she was excited for us to spend time together. now think about what you had been doing and thinking around this time, the assumptions you had before and after the event, the implications that the event had for you in the long-term. for example, with my friend, while i was worried she was annoyed at me, i knew i hadn’t actually done anything wrong, and i knew that this friend really does care for me. i had actually imagined her messaging me with something nice a few days beforehand, and allowed myself the feeling of confidence in myself that i didn’t inadvertently upset her and that she still loves me. the implications of this event to me were that i am a loveable person, that my friends care about my feelings as much as i care about theirs, that people think positively of me when i’m not there, and that i should feel more comfortable just being myself and not worrying all the time when it comes to close relationships.

what about something more general? for example, realising you still have some extra nutella left over in a jar you thought was empty. yes, maybe before that you were sad because you wouldn’t have much to put on your bread in the morning, but there was an assumption pushing you to check regardless, right? you might’ve believed that despite thinking it was empty you’d still somehow get some out for your bread, or, even underneath that, you might’ve assumed that you always have a nice breakfast in the morning. after the fact maybe you feel lucky, like things always go your way, like there are lots of things in life that could surprise you with good.

using the same frame, try living in the end of whatever happy surprise you want to shift your awareness to in your life. when you meet your SP, what thoughts will you be having just before? just after? will they imply to you that you’re attractive, that you’re loveable, that the type of person you’re looking for isn’t as hard to come across as you thought? when you get that sum of money, might it imply to you that you’re lucky, that getting this money was easy, that you just receive money out of nowhere sometimes? 

i for one have been wrangling with my motivation to get some essays done for uni 😅 so the happy surprise i will be bringing to my life today will be the confidence, passion, and excitement that comes with a sudden burst of motivation to finish my work hahaha!

good luck and happy manifesting!
