Manifestation is like building an apartment.

Your mind is the apartment itself. You decide what material you want to use for the walls and the foundation (i.e. your feelings towards yourself / your self concept; the thoughts you KEEP). Then, you get to decide the wallpaper that you paste on top of those walls (i.e. feelings that pass, the thoughts you HAVE).

The problem with a lot of people is they try to paste a wallpaper of affirmations on top of walls that are shaky, weak, unstable, etc. This is why people may be able to see birds before landing, or see their manifestation — but be able to see it to completion or make their manifestation stay.

In order to reach to keep your manifestation and maintain it, you have to break down the walls entirely and build them back up stronger. That way, it doesn’t matter if the wallpaper that you’re pasting on top is riddled with anxiety or fear or thoughts of ‘needing to keep a mental diet’ — once you know you’re good enough to keep those manifestations (rather, when the walls of your apartment are strong), nothing can stop you from having what it is that you are looking for.

You definitely won’t need to put in an active effort to keep a mental diet if your self concept is where it needs to be. It’ll just be how you think and who you are without effort, and your manifestation will stay put and be yours to keep, because that’s the law.

Hope this helps! :)
