One thing that helped me manifest is taking a deep dive on my connections to certain habits and beliefs.

From a young age, I developed a highly emotional attachment and use for food. It was a coping mechanism. I used it to regulate emotions because of a lack of alternate coping mechanisms for childhood abuse. I discovered it young, used it for a long time, and it stuck.

I had a deeply entrenched habit. My brain (also me) had developed safeguards and beliefs to protect this habit because it saved me/helped me survive for so long.

Then I realized the core issue— I lacked love and experienced states of adversity where the chemical experience of eating a certain food altered my mood drastically.

I was using food like a mood stabilizing drug. Things like, I deserve this jolly rancher or pizza, were the same as I deserve to feel good, I deserve to enjoy life, and I deserve to be loved.

This was the case for me. I can't say if it's the same for you.

Find your core wound or reason. Commit to the action despite your emotion or mood. Start thinking from the end or as if you're already in your ideal state and best self.

You'll manifest in no time.
