5 Manifestation Mistakes That Block Us From Up-levelling

I swear, literally every time I sit down to record, they're doing some kind of lawn work outside. They're either cutting the grass or weed whacking or chopping down a tree or cleaning the street, or I don't even know, leaf blowing. Like, there's always some sort of noise happening in the street at the exact moment that I sit down to record, which is why I'm thankful that I have the mic that I have because it's actually pretty good.

Of course we're going to run into blocks and all kinds of things that are going to hold us back. So there's an infinite number of challenges or quote-unquote mistakes that we could run into. But, and I typically go over like 10 main ones with my clients inside of From Burnt Out to Badass, but I wanted to give you guys like these 5 really common, important, and also basic mistakes that we might come up against when we are in the manifestation process so that you can kind of see maybe where they're showing up for you in your life because they're going to look different for everybody. But they're all applicable and we will all inevitably run into them at some point or another. So this isn't like a quick fix sort of thing where it's one and done, you just stop doing X, Y, or Z and then you're good to go. Of course, these are challenges that are gonna be recurring for us because every new level of our life has new devils, right? New level, new devil. And so we always kind of have to like tap in and check ourselves. So that's what I want this episode to be for you guys, is just an opportunity to check yourself and listen for anything that you might be able to take out and apply it to what's going on for you right now in your life. The things that you're trying to manifest or cultivate, create the goals that you have, whatever you want to call it, right? It's all the same shit at the end of the day. So whatever you're trying to create in your life, whatever direction you're moving in, wherever you visualize your kind of ideal reality being. Let's take a look at these 5 manifestation mistakes and see how they might be affecting you and how you might be able to maneuver them better. So let's go ahead and dive into the episode. Welcome to the Makeshift Happen Podcast. I'm your host, Samantha Daly, entrepreneur, life coach, and your no BS bestie here to bring you all things mindset, manifestation, and personal development. This podcast is designed to help you expand your mind and uplevel your life. So turn the volume up and roll the windows down if you're coming along for the ride. Let's go make shift happen. So if you feel like you've been trying really hard, you know, you've been doing this work, you've been trying to think positively or reframe your thoughts, you've been listening to a lot of inspiring people, whether it's like on podcasts or Instagram accounts or people's YouTube, and you're, you know, you feel like you're absorbing all the information and you're trying to do all the things, but your dream life isn't really clicking into place yet, then, you know, there could be a lot more going on below the surface that's, that's blocking you, right? Which is why it's so helpful to go deeper into your own journey of inner work and your own personal stories. Because you can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, watch all the YouTube videos, and be really, really inspired, but also not really change too much in your life. Because at the end of the day, it's all going to come down to your subconscious programming and how good you're getting at rewiring those neural pathways. But that is for another time. So the first thing that I want to remind you of is that You know, like, manifestation is not something that we do. I talked about this in the episode that you guys listened to that's a replay of the masterclass that I taught recently, the 5 Success Secrets to Become Magnetic as Fuck. That masterclass, we talked about this. This was one of the 5 success tips, was this idea of integrating manifestation and really understanding that manifestation isn't something that we do. Right. It's not a task. It's not a chore. It's not something that we can tick off of a list. It's not a vision board or a journaling prompt or a style of visualization. It's not even the Law of Attraction. That's not what manifestation is. Manifestation is who we are. It's who we're showing up as, as a person, right? It's who you're practicing to be. So if things aren't manifesting for you, if they're not materializing for you, a really great question to ask yourself is, who am I practicing to be? Right? In all the moments of your day, moment to moment throughout your life, not just in those highlight moments where you are doing the one thing that feels like it's like your next level self thing, but it's like all day long. For most of the days of your life, who are you practicing to be? Like, who are you when nobody's watching? When it's not something that you're going to post on Instagram, or it's not something aesthetic that like looks good, or it's not the workout or the green smoothie or the tarot cards or the meditation or whatever it is. When it's not the flashy, showy tools that we can utilize to manifest, but it's actually just who you are and how you move through the world. Like, who are you then, right? How do you respond and react to situations that aren't fun, right? Because we can all sit down and create a vision board and feel super inspired and, you know, post a picture of it and be like, oh my gosh, I'm, you know, so inspired by this thing and I want to make my passion my paycheck and These are all the visuals and this is what I'm going to be doing a year from now. These are my dreams. Like, we can all sit in that energy and feel really inspired because that's the energy of doing that practice, of utilizing that tool. But what is the energy when things are like normal or things are even challenging or like not fun? You know, how is your energy then? What's your energy on a day-to-day basis? Moment to moment, when you wake up, when you go to work, when you enter into a meeting, when you talk to your coworkers, when you, um, have an argument or have a hard conversation, or when you feel triggered or whatever it is, right? What's your energy then? Who are you practicing to be? So that's a really, really important reminder that I just want to preface this whole conversation about manifestation mistakes. With, because I think, uh, one of the more relevant mistakes is probably the way that we approach manifestation in general. And a lot of times we do approach it as like this task or this fun, really cutesy, inspiring thing, and it's actually like there's a lot of hard work. And I don't want to say hard work because I don't want to create the belief of like manifestation is hard, right? We don't want to believe like making money is hard or whatever. I don't— I'm not going to choose to believe that things are hard. When I say hard work, what I'm referring to more of is like that there's a lot of depth to the work. We have to go inward, we have to do the shadow work, we have to look at our inner child, we have to pull out these parts of ourselves that have been denied or suppressed. Yeah, so there's, there's a depth to this process, and it's so much more than just these tools like visualization or meditation or vision boards or journaling or whatever else, those are like cherries on top. But manifestation is really, really about who you are practicing to be on a regular basis, about who you— like, who are you embodying? Like, are you the embodiment of your next level self, right? Are you feeling connected to your soul's purpose? Are you feeling lit up? Yeah. Who are you in those random, average moments of the day? Not just when you're like doing an amazing morning routine or something like that, but just the mundane parts of life. You know, who are you then? How are you showing up? What's your energy? What are the steps that you're actively taking towards becoming this next level version of yourself? So that's what we're going to preface with. There's a lot to unpack, obviously, but let's dive into these common mistakes. So I'm going to share with you 5 of the most common mistakes that I see a lot of people run into and that I myself run into and I have to work through. So the first one is hesitation, and hesitation is when you avoid taking aligned action steps that might feel risky or scary because you don't necessarily feel ready yet. And what I want you to remember if you're in a place of hesitation is that ready is never a feeling. Ready is a decision. It's a choice that you make, right? Angie Lee always says, ready is a lie. You're never gonna feel ready. You're never gonna feel ready to do something that's outside of your comfort zone, that's big, that's scary, that's expansive, that's next level. You're just not. So if you're sitting in hesitation, if you're not leaving your toxic work environment because you're afraid that you're never going to get another job, or if you're not investing in a coach, a therapist, a mentor, someone that can help fast-track your healing journey or your uplevel because you're scared of spending money, if you're not starting your business or your podcast or writing your book or launching your blog or doing whatever, your Etsy shop, if you're not starting that, or you're kind of like stalling the actual ignition of that project because you are afraid of being seen, or you're afraid of using your voice or showing up on camera or having people judge you or whatever it is, right? Or you're not breaking up with the person that you know is not fully right for you. Like, you're just in this average, basic, mundane relationship that you know that you deserve more than. Or maybe you're even in a toxic relationship, but you're not breaking up with them because you're afraid of the loneliness. You're afraid of, what if I don't find somebody else? You're afraid of, nobody else is gonna love me. Or you're in your single phase and you don't want to be there anymore, but you're not going out on the dates, you're not putting yourself on the dating apps because you're avoiding the potential rejection or hurt or whatever it is that may come with actually opening yourself up again and starting that process. If you're in a space of hesitation, you have to remember that ready is a choice. And nobody else can make the decision except for you. So there's gonna come a moment where you have to get so sick of your own stagnant bullshit that you're like, fuck it, I just need to rip the Band-Aid off. Like, I have to— I have to make myself ready. I don't necessarily feel ready, but I'm choosing to be ready, right? So that's kind of the, the reminder that you may need if you're in a space of hesitation. The second mistake is this energy of seriousness. So this is like when you're, you're so focused on making the manifestation happen that you have sort of forgotten to live your life and have fun. Like, you keep thinking that you need to do, do, do, do more, more, more in order to achieve it. Right? I need to journal more. I need to visualize more. I need to do more meditations. I need to take more action. I need to sit with myself more. I need to pray to my guides. I need to look for more, like, spiritual signs or numbers. Or you're, like, in this space of feeling like you need to do, do, do in order to force the manifestation into fruition, and you've lost your ability to really like let loose and let go and surrender, right? Surrender and trust is one of the most important steps of the manifestation process. And so if you're stuck in seriousness, basically you are putting the entire manifestation or goal on your shoulders and being like, I— this depends on me, 100% on me. I'm the only one that can make it happen. I have to do it all by myself. And I'm in charge and I have to control all the outcomes. And so I have to work, work, work, force, force, force, or else it's never going to come through. And when you do that, you're basically rejecting the help of a higher power, of the universe, of your spirit guides, of, you know, whatever you believe in. You're rejecting that added assistance because you're not allowing space for them to come in and allow you to be divinely guided. You're like thinking that you have the steering wheel all by yourself and you don't have the universe or your guides or God or whoever in the passenger seat actually managing the GPS for you, which we do, right? But when we get into the energy of seriousness, it's almost like we act like they're not even there, right? You have all the guidance that you need right in the passenger seat. They're directing you through the GPS, and you're like, no, I know how to get there. I don't need that. Stop telling— no, turn right. No, I think it's better if we turn left. You shut up. Pipe down. Stop backseat driving me. It's like you don't want to be backseat driven by the divine power that knows exactly the best possible route for you to get there, right? The GPS can foresee where the traffic jams are going to be, and they can help you kind of reroute. But if you're in the energy of seriousness, you're not allowing that to happen. And you just think that it's your way or the highway and that you always know best and you're controlling all the outcomes, or you're trying to control all the outcomes, and you're not having any fun and you're not letting loose and you're not letting— you're not letting anything just flow and just happen, right? Because when we're in our best energy, things that we're not even asking for or that we're not even expecting, they click in. I'm sure some of you— well, I know some of you experienced this before because you send me DMs and you'll be like, I didn't even ask for this and I just got this random check, or I saved money, or this person gave me this gift, or this amazing thing happened. Or somebody said, I, I thought about— one of my clients was like, I thought about getting flowers. I really thought it would be nice if a man would send me flowers. And literally the next day she got a surprise flowers on her doorstep from this guy. It wasn't, um, they weren't from the person that she was hoping that they would be from, But regardless, you know, when we're in a really great energy, like, things— unexpected things can just snap in. And that doesn't happen so much when we're in the space of seriousness, where we're like, me, me, me, I have to do it all, I'm the only one, like, it all depends on me, right? So an example of this could be if you are— want— say you're like wanting to manifest money for a specific goal or something, like you you want to get a house or a car, or you want to start a business and you need to generate some funds in order to do so. And so every time that you kind of get asked to go out with friends or something, say like to like a dinner or drinks or dancing or something fun, you know, if you live in a part of the world where you can do these things, um, and you like say no You're like, no, I'm just gonna— I'm just gonna stay home. And you do whatever you do at home. You like hang out with your partner or you watch Netflix, or maybe you do some of your like rituals or whatever, but you're like not choosing to go and do the fun things because you think that saving that extra $20 to $50 to $100 is going to make your manifestation of this money come through more. There's nothing wrong with saving money. Like, saving money is great, but take— like, take this example with a grain of salt, right? You— so you say no to going out and doing fun things so that you can stay in and save money when you're trying to— because you're trying to manifest money. But what is the energy that we need to be in if we're wanting to be magnetic towards money? It's not this like stiff, stagnant stingy vibe. It's really fun and free-flowing, right? Energy— I mean, money is energy, so it loves to flow, right? So if you're not, if you're not giving yourself any opportunity to go out and have fun and spend a little bit of money, then how are you ever going to be in the energy of attracting money? You're not operating at the same frequency as money. So that's a really good example for getting stuck in seriousness, because because I think this, this happens to a lot of us. Um, okay, the next one is imbalance. And imbalance, when we're talking about imbalance, we're referring to masculine and feminine energies, right? These energies, these, this yin and yang, right? It's the same thing. These, this duality that all of every being has, we all have it. Um, And so when you're in imbalance, you're either trying to force and push and control too much, or— so that would be like really masculine energy, right? Force, push, control, kind of similar to the seriousness, right? Or you're stuck in paralysis or victimhood or inaction, which would be like wounded feminine. Right? So when you're in it, when you have an imbalance of these two energies, you're going to be too far on one end of the spectrum, and it's going to be not serving you as well as it could if you were to integrate some of the elements of that other side, right? So whether you're highly in your feminine energy and you're super free-flowy, and that sometimes leads to you not really getting a lot done, or like, uh, yeah, being in this like paralysis phase, or in inaction like we said, or in victimhood, maybe you need a little bit more of that fire. You need a little bit more of that aligned action. You need a little bit more of that push from the masculine side. And on the other side of the coin is if you're too far in your masculine, which is the way that I tend to go whenever I'm in imbalance, it's usually that I'm in balance because I'm highly in my masculine. So I'm pushing, forcing, controlling. Me, me, me. I can do it all. It's all up to me. I'm the achiever. And what I need to integrate is some of that more free-flowing, allowing, relaxing, receiving, sitting back energy of the feminine. So working on balancing yourself out starts first with figuring out where am I currently? And then how can I integrate some of the elements of my, my, my missing, my missing energetic, whether it's the masculine or the feminine? The next one is congestion, and I call it congestion just to kind of give it like a single word, a single term, but I'll explain what it means. So congestion is, you know, when there's like no energetic space. Right? When we think of congestion, when you are congested in your sinuses, it's like your sinuses are like overcrowded. They're inflamed. There's too much mucus. Like no air can get through, right? My life recently with allergies. So when, when you, when you're experiencing congestion in terms of your manifestation journey, it's because there's no energetic space for your manifestation to come through because your life is just like overcrowded. With people and things and jobs and relationships and all kinds of other stuff that doesn't serve you, or it's just really draining to you. So you may be in congestion if you struggle a lot with boundaries, or if you have no boundaries, or if you're like, honestly, what the fuck is a boundary? Like, if you're still confused about what a boundary is, you're in congestion, sis. So if you're lacking time boundaries, or physical boundaries, or any— or even emotional boundaries, any type of boundary. If you're lacking boundaries, like, you're probably in congestion. If you are overworked or you're overbooked, like you overbook yourself for commitments, you overcommit to things, you're saying yes to everything because of either FOMO, fear of missing out, or what I'm calling FOPO, which is fear of people's opinions. So you're saying yes to all of these commitments, events, things, whatever, because either you're afraid of missing out on something that's potentially fun or, you know, allows you to be seen in some way, or the fear of people's opinions because someone has asked you to do something and you're like, oh my gosh, if I say no, they're going to think I'm a bad person. So I'm just going to say yes. And then what do you know? You're overcommitted, you're drained, you're— you have no energy, like your cup is not full. We know the deal, right? Hashtag congestion. No space for that, for the manifestations to come through because you're not in an energy of receiving. When you're congested, when there's so much stuff going on in your life that's draining you or not serving you and you're not doing anything about it, and you feel like you're drowning in it, how are you meant to receive more gifts?

Because a lot of times, even if we're receiving a gift or manifestation from the universe, it's something that's going to take up space in our life. Like maybe you want to create a successful business, or maybe you want to manifest a lot of money, or maybe you want a new home, or maybe you want a relationship. All of those things need to be managed. All of those things require time and consideration and thought and energy and love in order to nurture them. And if you're over here drowning already in the space that you are, you got no space to receive, sis, right? Like, the universe is like, bitch, I want to give you this, but like, where the fuck am I gonna put it? Like, where the fuck am I gonna put it? Where am I gonna put it? You have no space in your schedule or your life or your mental capacity right now. Yeah, so, and this can even be like a physical congestion. Like, I've talked about this on the podcast before. I always give the example of the closet, so I'm not going to go and repeat the whole thing. But if your closet is a shit show, like, cleaning out your closet can actually create a lot of space, not only physically in order for material things to maybe come into your life, but also just energetically. Like, clean up anything. Clean up your desk space. Clean out your pantry. Clean out your fridge. Clean out your junk drawer, clean out your dresser, clean out your car. Like, if you feel like you might be someone who's in congestion in some way right now, just clean, clean something, reorganize something, declutter something, right? Even if it's just like a physical space, it will help. Trust me, it will help. And then the next step is to begin decluttering your energetic space, and, and you do that by, you know, saying no and setting boundaries and doing all that kind of stuff. Now the last mistake is misalignment. And again, we talked about this on the masterclass, so if you missed that, go back a couple of episodes to the 5 Success Secrets to Become Magnetic as Fuck, because we do talk about misalignment, because alignment is one of those success secrets. So if you're in misalignment It means that you are essentially disconnected from the feeling of having it, whatever your— whatever it is, whatever your manifestation is. You're disconnected from the feeling of having it, and it feels like such a dream that you're not actually able to hold the emotions of it in your body. Like, it feels far away. It feels like fairytale. It feels so far down the track that you're not actually able to hold the emotions of it in your body right now in the present. You're still really visualizing it as like this thing that's like way, way, way, way, way down the line somewhere. And sometimes we do that to protect ourselves also from the fear of failure, because we're like, oh, you know, someday I'll have a business, or Someday I'll have this amount of money, or someday I'll have this relationship and this kind of family and these kinds of things and this kind of lifestyle. And we actually throw our manifestations so far out into the future. We cast them really, really wide because that allows us to not have to do anything. That allows us to not have to have a sense of urgency or, or take radical action or actually take the risks that are required in order to start moving towards that reality because we're like, oh, but like someday I'll get there, right? And by throwing it so far out into the future, we feel like there's no sense of urgency yet. We don't really need to do much yet. And then we become misaligned with it because we're not actually sitting in the feeling of having it. We feel so far removed from it. We're like, I don't have that yet. That's, that's someday.

That's way down the line.

Right? And so what happens then is that you continue to make choices or do things that your next level self, who would have that future reality, would not do or would not tolerate, right? So you continue showing up as your present self and you're not actually forced to show up as your next level self because you feel like the next level is so far down the line, you're disconnected from it, you're misaligned from it. Yeah. So you're doing things, you're accepting things, you're tolerating things, you're saying yes to things that are not aligned with the ultimate goal or vision. So in order to get back into alignment, you need to start to ask yourself, like, what is the vision I have for my life? Where is it that I keep seeing myself? Trying to go. And rather than trying to go there, what would happen if I just went there in every way possible right now? What would it look like to go there now? Right in your body, in your emotions, in your attitude, in your words, in who you allow into your life and how you show up and how you own your truth. What would it look like to just go there now and become the person that has that future reality right now? Right. You may not have all the money yet. You may not have the business yet. You may not have the home yet. You may not have the husband or kids or whatever it is that you want or the car or whatever. You may not have it yet, but who would you be if you were to have it? And how can you practice being that person right now? Again, coming full circle, it's all about who you're practicing to be. So questioning like, what are my standards for life right now? Yeah, what are my standards? And a lot of times we think our standards are higher than they actually are because we're like, my standard for what I want is a really great job with a really great salary and loving, trusting relationships and easy flow of abundance and whatever it is, right? All the things that— all the things that we desire. But your standards are not the same as your desires, right? Those are your desires. Those are your manifestations. Those are the things that you're calling in. Your standards are actually what you are currently experiencing, because whatever you're currently experiencing— so your current job, your current relationship status, your current bank account, your current everything is your standard for life. Because whatever is going on for you right now in the present, if you are not actively changing it, then that means you're choosing it. And if you're choosing it, that means that that is where you've set the standard. You've said, this is good enough for me. Yep, these types of guys that I'm going on dates with and that don't respond back to me quickly, or they are ghosting me, or they're flaky, or they're clingy, or whatever it is. These are the types of people that I entertain giving my time to. That's my standard. Or this job that I'm in, that where I'm consistently disrespected or undervalued or not appreciated or not fairly compensated. Yep, that's good enough for me, Universe. I accept this treatment, this behavior, this compensation. I, I'll show up for it every day. I keep coming back, right? It's like if you keep coming back to it, that's, that's your bar. That's where you've put the bar. So this is where we have to really, really question, like, okay, Whatever is going on for me right now in my present moment, if that's my standard and that's the equivalent of the things that are going to keep flowing towards me, what needs to change? Right? How am I going to raise the bar? What do I need to say no to? What do I need to get rid of? Who do I need to phase out of my life? What do I need to stop doing? What do I need to say no to?

Yeah. Where are the boundaries that I need to set? This is how you get back into alignment, is by understanding what is the vision of where you're trying to go. How can I be the person that would have that now and show up in their energy with their attitude, with their words, with their actions? In the present moment and start radically cutting out and getting rid of all the things that do not match that life. Right. So if you see yourself in some sort of fantasy future where you're in a certain type of job or in a certain type of relationship, or you have a certain level of money or success or whatever, and you're like, oh, when I get there, I will not be hanging out with these people. Or I would not be, you know, answering these types of calls, or I would not be doing this, these types of things on the weekend, or I would not be spending money on, on this type of whatever. If you would not be doing it in the next level vision that you have of your life, then you stop doing it now. You cut it out. And that's really what alignment is, right? I think so often people think when they hear like, oh, get aligned with your vision, they're like, oh, I just need to raise my vibe. I just need to be happy. I just need to think positive. I just need to be high vibe. No, no, it's so much more than that. It's so much more than that. Alignment is not just raising your vibe, having dance parties, being positive, meditating, visualizing, whatever else maybe comes up for you when you think about alignment. No, alignment is the dirty work. It's the hard, dirty work of cutting out all the shit that doesn't match, right? It's like a matching game. You know, you've got all the cards laid out on the table and you're matching the pairs. And so you flip over the card that has the picture of your future life and your future self who has all the things that you're desiring.. And then any of the other cards on the table that don't match, that don't go with that life, that don't fit into that version of you, you have to cut them up and throw them out. You gotta get rid of 'em and start only showing up or doing your best to show up. This is a process obviously, right? It's not just like one day we cut all these people out, we set all of our boundaries, everything is new. Right? Obviously not. I know you guys aren't taking it that way, but just to clarify, it's a process. It takes a while. It's a practice. It's a practice. But this is how you get better at the practice, is you keep coming back to that visual, right, of the matching game. You flip over the card that has your dream life and all of your manifestations on it, and then you look at the rest of the cards of like what's going on for you in your life right now. All the people, places, jobs, finances, things. And you're like, right, what doesn't match? And then how can I phase that out? How can I do less of that? Even if it's not just cut it out altogether, but like, how can I do less of that? And how can I do more of the things that do match, right? Because there will be things also in your life that do match, hopefully, your future vision. If you're like, you know what, when I do this I feel on top of the world. I feel amazing. I feel powerful. I feel inspired. That lights me up. Okay, then that's a match for the future life card. So we get to keep that card because they're a match together. You guys getting this? I hope this analogy is helping. So just to recap, the 5 major manifestation mistakes that we've covered today are hesitation, seriousness, imbalance, congestion, and misalignment. And if any of these are resonating with you, like, don't freak out. Like I said, we all run into challenges along the way at every single level, right? I run into these problems, my coaches run into these problems, My peers in the space run into these problems. My clients run into these problems, right? We're always going to run into challenges, but it's, it's not about not having challenges or not having blocks. It's about having the tools and the understanding and the support to be able to move through the challenges, the blocks, in the best way possible and in the the swiftest way possible, right? So if any of these 5 mistakes are resonating with you, like, don't freak out. You're not doomed. Things just need a little bit of reworking. Yeah, the hard truth is that, you know, we can all work towards creating a better life for ourselves, but consciously working towards it isn't even really half of the battle. Right? The doing of everything, the tasks, the things that you can tick off of a list. That's, that's not— that's— it's not even really half of the battle. Yeah, that's just a small part of it, because we have to also be simultaneously clearing our subconscious blocks that tell us that we're unworthy, or that tell us that 'Oh, this is so hard,' or 'It has to be hard,' or that, that tell us that this isn't super likely, or this is risky, or this is, you know, not possible for you. We have to simultaneously be clearing these blocks in order to actually be able to take the actions and participate in the doing, right? So in order for us to like quote unquote fix some of these, uh, manifestation mistakes, we have to first do the inner work of rewiring the subconscious mind, right? Because how are you going to set boundaries? How are you going to start your business? How are you going to show up online? How are you going to say no to things? How are you going to quit your job or break up with your partner or get the courage to get on a dating app or whatever it is. If you haven't worked through the subconscious beliefs that tell you that you're not enough or that it has to be hard or that it's unlikely, you're not going to get very far. And this is why, you know, the mindset work is fundamental to creating real and lasting change and results in your life and health and career and finances and relationships. Because of how massive the subconscious mind is, because it makes up 95% of our overall awareness. And everything that you can know and do on a conscious level is only 5% of your power. So if you're only working with 5%, like, you do the math, you know? What are the odds? What are the odds to creating massive impact and change in your life? That's like a lot of untapped potential if you're just trying to action your way into a better life. You have to do the deeper work. You have to do the inner work. You have to do the subconscious rewiring. And that's why, you know, when I work with my clients inside of my programs and one-on-one, like, they get results so much faster faster. It's not that they can't do it without me. Surely they could, but it might take them 5 years, whereas when we're in a container together, it takes them 3 to 6 months because they're do— they're, they're tapping into that 95% of their overall awareness and their power that really allows them to bust through those blocks. And that's when they actually can show up and take the actions that that matter in order to get them out of these types of mistakes or cycles and get into their dream life situation. So if you are like tired of spinning your wheels and trying to do this stuff all on your own, my suggestion to you would be like, don't, don't do it all on your own. There's so many people that can help you. You know, I'm not the only coach out there, but there are so many people that are doing this work that want to help you, and they want to hold your hand, and they want to like speed up the process for you. So if you are sitting there like feeling like you're trying to like do, do, do, action, action, action your way into your next level life, and it's like not working and you can't figure it out, it's probably because there's a lot of deeper work that needs to be done, and there's some deeper subconscious beliefs that are, are holding you back. Yeah, and, and they're not allowing you to actually take those bold steps and risks that are gonna get you a lot further along the path towards creating that ideal lifestyle. So these are the 5 manifestation mistakes. I hope you guys got something out of this episode. I feel like this was kind of like— I feel like it was juicier than I expected it to be.
