How to overcome *perfectionism* and being hard on yourself when MANIFESTING!

Today we're tackling the big topic of how perfectionism and "being hard on yourself" while manifesting is not helping you. Obviously! But in this video I get deeper on the perfectionistic facades that permeate manifestation culture and how that's accidentally feeding into YOUR perfectionism and your misunderstandings about the process of reality creation and manifestation. Enjoy! 💓

So, in a nutshell, manifestion is a form of self-care.
Instead of manifesting 'things', we do manifestation to improve our self-concept in how we relate to the 'things' that we want. When we improve the way we see ourselves, that's when our reality changes.

Thank you for this video. 😊

I originally got into the manifesting thing in 2010 with the law of attraction and never seen any results. 2 years ago I came across the law of assumption and have watched many coaches videos and still haven't really seen any results. Saying that, what I have found is that I'm at peace with myself now. Whether I get the things I want or don't it doesn't matter. I'm happy anyway. I've binge watched your videos in the past week and really love your way of teaching. It's so refreshing to know that coaches aren't perfect either.

Summarizing I think manifesting is about making small and light hearted shifts in our assumptions, and over time this changes our whole trajectory. That small contrast between unwanted 3d and our intention for another direction is enough and what manifests into our new reality in the end.

What helped me the most with my inner critic was to apologize to it for not loving it, and then to just let it spiral under the condition that, no matter what it says or how much it abuses me, I am going to love it unconditionally, because I am my critic and my critic is me, so everything the critic is saying about me it is really saying about itself, so I was hurting my inner critic as much as it was hurting me. Once I started doing that, I found myself detached from the bite of the criticisms and the sensations that accompanied all the 'what ifs' I previously tortured myself with. Eventually, the negative thoughts stopped and I had a much better sense of acceptance and appreciation of myself, regardless of whether or not the manifestation actually plays out.

Awesome video Genevieve!

I supplement all of my manifestation work with Jerry Wise's "Self Differentiation" material. It's existentially excruciating to take the responsibility of saying "yes, I even unconsciously manifested being abused as a child." Those are the big patterns that are probably keeping most people stuck. If you grew up as the scapegoat in a Narcissistic Family System it doesn't feel like you're allowed to deserve anything. When the 3D is literally physically attacking you and screaming in your face, it's nearly impossible to ignore it. But, with enough perseverance you can regain control of your imagination. People stop attacking you if you stop imagining it.

Pretty wild what saying "I love myself, I am good, and I deserve getting my needs met" can do. I truly empathize with the SP group out there, that unmet need as a kid can wreak havoc throughout your adult life, limerance feels like hell. Glad I never ended up with any of the SP's I thought I needed. Just wanted a mom who genuinely loved and cared about me.

Don't drive drunk, don't imagine while in severe emotional pain.

In 2017 I manifest something really big after listening to a Abraham Hicks recording. At the time I thought nothing of it. It happened in 2 weeks and it changed my life. Then everything kinda fell apart as time progressed. After that I dismissed it all as coincidence. Then the pandemic kinda changed everything. I actually thought that all this may be a government conspiracy or something. Around that time I started daily meditation and my outlook changed. I am not in my head as much and I don't think its a conspiracy. Bob Proctor said "it just is" What the Bleep do we know w/Joe Dispenza showed the double slit experiment and I say it often... the placebo effect exists. Abraham once said "if you don't get it now, don't worry and don't give up and you will" yeah, this is all real. I just had to go through more to prove it to myself. Lol thanks Genevieve, I really like your style. New Sub. Would have loved to find you sooner. If anyone reads all of this, just know, if you persist and have faith, it will come. Love n light ✨️

Read the title and honestly your right! Ive been manifestion an sp and the amounts of people who do it instantly always made me feel like i was doing something wrong. Ive been listening to your videos and a few other teachers who i feel are more realistic. You and others have truly helped and made me truly priotize myself, cuz my sp will follow :)

[ChannelHopper]

I can't imagine why people are getting angry at you! You *literally* spell it all out! I've only recently found your channel, but I'm here to say every word you say resonates like a truth I was so close to knowing but couldn't quite articulate. Thank you for your channel. You're wonderful and I LOVE you! 😄❤

I follow many manifestation coaches but some make more sense on some topics and others make more sense on other topics. For me it's like there's no one coach that words everything in a way that hits me right. I'll listen to thtee people talk about the same topic but one will give me an aha moment. On another topic the same thing only it will be the other person that resonates with me. I get the same experience following many different YouTube guitar teachers. The difference with guitar is I never feel like I'm making things worse and pushing my goals further awaylike with manifesting sometimes. I hope that makes sense. Hey! That's probably what you probably say at the end of some of your videos. You've given me quite a few aha moments, BTW.

This is so great and thank you for touching on this! This has been a huge struggle of mine.
The shaming is real.

But you’re right- I think when most of us initially get into manifestation, we are at such a desperate, low point that we tend to (or at least I did) go for the coaches who offer “quick fixes”…..which btw can work, but was never my cup of tea because it wasn’t sustainable. As I went on my journey, I clearly saw I was spiritually bypassing and stopped resonating with the initial coaches. I think we all have to go through our own manifesting journey and go through the ups and downs until we, ourselves, finally “get it.” And that is totally OK! There is nothing wrong with the path we take as long as you’re learning and growing. Thanks for being so authentic. It’s comforting to hear.

Connect with your spirit. Spirit always looks at everything with unconditional love. I’m still learning to be consistent with this. When you feel connected it feels expansive and when it’s ego it feels constrictive. ❤ it’s a subtle shift but once you notice it more it becomes easier to shift back

[reyl]

First off, your channel rocks. Having only dabbled in these things before, because I'm always turned off by the overly mystical stuff, I love how you share information in a real and practical way.



I'm about a month into this and I noticed something yesterday that sort of shocked me. I have been so focused on a big desire( SP of course..heh) that I missed several "smaller" manifestations that came to fruition. Honestly, it startled me a little. I missed that they even happened until I was going over my list. Feels like a possible "ah ha" moment and maybe some momentum I can carry toward feeling the same way about my other visualizations.

Okay but the hair the top the pendant. This is a LEWK 🔥
Also thank you for addressing this topic can't wait to watch it 😍

[elizabethquinn]

Thank you for talking about this, Genevieve. I don't know if others suggested this topic but I know I did and you commented on it. Sometimes I feel that if we approach life almost too logically (as I tend to do) if that makes manifesting harder. I know you've touched on that a bit but for me, that is probably one of the biggest challenges. Sometimes I need to get out of my head and stop looking at the 3D with too much logic. LOL I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much.

[MorryM]

You have THE most honest approach Ive ever heard. Thank you

[arathiravi]

Thankyou soo much u don't know how good video this was u being vulnerable as a coach and sharing failures and mistakes so openly somehow made me feel it's ok to be in this process which is kinda seriously long and hard sometimes I have things that i have manifested soo easily yet there are things I am struggling for years I am the kind of person who has tried her best for two years but I am not tired I am going learn this stuff properly even I have written so long but I had to say it thanks for being honest a long video felt so short❤😊😊

[janefrench]

i think a nice way to think of it is "im doing everything right from my current perspective/understanding AND I'm open to learning ways i can improve & do it even better"

[skyack_studios]

I’m choosing to stay faithful to my new story/my SP/my wife. There’s no one else for her but me. There’s no one else for me but her.

[whimsylore]

Thank you! This is helping us unravel what happened in our pre-learning about manifestation journey when we were part of a highly religious culture where a lot of these concepts got twisted in similar ways. Appreciate the help detangling.

[sultanaxavier]

this video is so vulnerable and honest, you are a gem
