Manifesting Not Working for You? 

If you’re reading this post, chances are you’re already familiar with manifesting. Either way, hopefully you’ve checked out my post where I give away all the secrets of my manifesting

But if you’ve tried manifesting before and felt like it didn’t work, hopefully I can help with that as well.  

Top reasons why manifesting probably isn’t working for you: 

  • You are manifesting from a place of lack or desperation. The universe simply mirrors back to you the energy you are emitting, so it’s important to manifest from a place of gratitude, love, abundance, and joy. This video is really helpful for understanding how to reprogram your subconscious to become the future you desire
  • You keep asking for the same thing over and over. When you manifest something, you need to trust that it’s on its way. When you don’t trust, it once again signals that you are in a place of lack. 
  • You’re focused on what you don’t have. This creates resistance and blocks your manifestation from happening. Gratitude elevates your emotional state when you feel grateful you operate at the highest vibrational frequency. You shift from lack to abundance. “I am so grateful that everything is unfolding perfectly even if I can’t see it yet.” My preferred method of practicing gratitude is keeping a document in my notes app called “Microjoys.” I like noting “microjoys” because they could be something as simple as a slow Saturday morning having coffee in bed or waking up before my alarm goes off or something much more significant like getting a promotion at work. 
  • What you’re asking for is not for the greater good. Our minds cannot always comprehend what is best for us or best for others. 
  • Trying to manifest a specific person? This one is tricky– most manifesters will tell you that you should not try to manifest a specific person. At the very least you could say “This person or someone even better.” Remember that free will exists. 
  • You are locked in a fixed idea or timeline for how your manifestation must happen. Instead, enter a state of receivership. “I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I know it’s coming and I am open to unfolding in ways that are even better than I could imagine.” This moves you into a state of trust and you become a magnet. 
  • Negative news, toxic people, and self doubt will hijack your focus. Protect your energy. 

Happy Manifesting!

Making My Mom’s Christian Mingle Profile Is Exhausting

This blog first appeared on Lex and the City in 2013. It has been republished here with minor updates.  My relationship with my mom is shaky at best. Mostly because she goes through these periods in her life where she’s randomly super religious (I call her a fairweather Christian) and

Becoming Your Future Self & Quantum Leaping

When people ask me my plans for the evening or weekend, I love to tell them I’m quantum leaping. It just sounds cool – like something from an Avengers movie. And I guess it’s not super far from it? To put it simply, quantum leaping is a visualization exercise where

Bad Witch House Rules

I live in a three bedroom four story split level home, which I will admit is an unnecessary amount of space for me, my son of a witch, and my French bulldog. But I do have a very large family, so it’s nice to have the extra space when they

I Give Away All the Secrets of My Manifesting

Any of my friends will tell you that I’m an incredible manifester. Even in my 20s, I blogged about something called “the Lexie phenomenon” which could only be described as the wildest and magical events that always seemed to be occurring around me.  I went to see a psychic last

Rodents

2016 was the first year I truly lived alone. I had just gone through a tricky breakup with my boyfriend of two years (tricky in the sense that a shared apartment, a dog, and a car was all at stake. For the record, I ended up getting only the car–which

Laser Hair Removal

I’d been blogging for over four years before I realized that my life was an open blog. It was the day I blogged about letting my cousin Melissa do laser hair removal on my bikini area. Her coworkers thought this would be an awkward procedure to perform on one’s cousin, but

One summer I needed a job, and my mom offered to get me a position at the assisted living community where she worked at the time. For some reason, I was oddly excited at the idea of working at the same place as my mom. I assumed it would be

craiglist missed connection

For nearly half a decade, I made a four figure salary at a digital marketing agency in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I didn’t let this prevent me from going out in DC after work, but it did mean I had to suck it up and take the metro all the way from

just give me your blood

My sister Sammy and I both majored in journalism in college. My dad was never shy about how worthless of a major he thought it was, and one year out of college I probably would have agreed with him. In fact, I think at one point I blogged about how
