Manifest v Manif*ck

For such a dark and moody lot, we’re sure not wise to how often we go dark, not to mention how little we know about where our (inner) light switch is. 

What’s up with that? 

You might have heard the stats: According to science, the average human has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts daily. Of those thoughts, guess how many are inspiring, dreamy, and original?

Uh, not many… 

A whopping 80% of our thoughts are NOT ONLY negative, but 95% are also the same thoughts as the day before. No wonder many of us have such a hard time imagining our highest ideals/dreams for ourselves, let alone manifest them!  We are much too preoccupied with manif*cking them!

Mani-what-ing them?

If you don’t already know what manifesting is, or don’t know what I mean by manif*cking (primarily, because I made it up a few years ago), here’s the difference between the two:

Manifest [man-uh-fest] verb  

The act of causing something or bringing a specific result to fruition by thinking, feeling, and acting in accordance with a vision for what we want, no matter what our desire is – from a parking spot, to a lover, to a new job, to a vacation, etc.

Vs.

Manif*ck [man-uh-f*ck]  verb 

The act of thinking about the future and envisioning being screwed. To project, so much so, that you get yourself into a mood and unconsciously prove your projections, thoughts, theories, beliefs, and mood to be true. So much so, you think you’re having a premonition vs. a manif*ckation. 

The connection between our thoughts and our mood is a straight line. Our mood is simply an indicator of what’s going on in our minds and a byproduct of our thoughts. 

Manifesting is an inside job.

Twenty-plus years of coaching humans later, I know nothing more useful than tracking our inner dialogue. If we’re not tracking our thoughts, how would we know what we’re projecting, unconsciously manipulating, and potentially proving or causing? 

We couldn’t. We wouldn’t.  And, subsequently, we don’t. 

Mastery over your mind comes from the learned ability to choose what is best for you to think AND feel. To get your own hands back on your life’s remote control and press mute when your mind messes with what matters most to you.

Namely, your dreams.

I promise you that in areas where you’re happy, your inner dialogue, thoughts, theories, beliefs, and mood are great, and you act accordingly. If you’re excited to see your partner, you bring flowers. If you feel great in your body, you feed it well, head to the gym, sign up for a marathon, etc.

So, given that you = human, and according to science, 80% of your thoughts are negative and repetitive. Repeat after me: Check your mood. It’s a litmus test for your thoughts. Stop, drop, and roll when you catch yourself manif*cked up.
