The manifestation journey has touched me with its benefits for over a month now and I have enjoyed what the process has done to my mental health. I feel happier! I feel energised! I have started writing again! OK, enough exclamation points. My message is – it’s wonderful and I recommend it to everyone. I’ll blog about my process later, but today I want to write about something I have realised is stopping me from achieving my manifestations – my inner child beliefs.
When I was in high school, English was my best subject. I would consistently get marks at the top of my class and the exams came easily to me. English was my subject. I excelled at it and didn’t have to try hard to do so. But when it came to picking a university degree I automatically thought (through my own beliefs and societal beliefs) that to do an English-related degree:
1. I would have to become a journalist.
2. If I didn’t become a journalist, the degree wouldn’t be worthwhile.
I was an extremely shy child and the act of talking to strangers (even people I knew) sent anxiety deep into my bones. Being a journalist at the time when the internet was only just becoming a thing (I graduated high school in 1998) meant I would have to talk to people. And a lot of people. I did the thing I thought I was meant to do and enrolled in a science degree, majoring in chemistry. I was not good at chemistry. It did not come easily to me. But the universe has a plan, and I am determined so I completed my degree and fell into clinical trial research which led me to be a nurse. I love being a nurse. I feel called to help people. But after ten years I decided that my passion lies with writing stories. I feel like this blog can give me the best of both worlds. I’ve helped so many patients with their health (including mental health) and want to help writers too.
Those inner child beliefs are still there though. The main ones:
1. Writing won’t make me money.
2. Writers aren’t successful.
3. Only special people are published.
4. It is hard to make money from writing.
5. Publishing is hard.
I don't even know what I mean by special people. Perhaps celebrities, the wealthy, people who have lots of friends. It doesn't matter though as it isn't true.
How do I change these beliefs?
Through the subconscious. No matter how much I visualise and believe that my manifestations will come true, it doesn’t help if my subconscious has other ideas. It is my subconscious who is blocking my manifestations. By delving into these beliefs through hypnosis and meditation I am connecting with my inner child (lovely, kind, anxious teenage me) and showing her - she can be a successful, wealthy writer. She can do this! I can do this! Writing out positive affirmations that are the opposite to what my inner child believes helps rewire my subconscious mind. Coupling this with hypnosis and mediations is a way to speed up the process.
