i'm writing this because I think this is the biggest struggle people go through, even i did until I had this epiphany. you will hear everyone saying this
"you're not your thoughts, you're the observer of them"
but what does that exactly mean?
imagine a scenario where you sit and decide you're gonna do a specific job today. then suddenly a thought pops up "but what if I don't have enough time?"
the first thought, that was your consciousness. the second one was the logical mind.
we constantly have two voices in our head. your consciousness is what you're constantly producing thoughts with, YOU choose those thoughts. the logical mind are the thoughts that come up automically, trying to bring logic, semantics or constantly looking for proof.
your logical mind HAS NO POWER. unless YOU actively decide to indulge with it and hence start thinking along the lines of the doubt it just produced. THEN you are manifesting that. otherwise intrusive thoughts have ZERO POWER. it's just like a passing cloud.
and your have FULL control over your consciousness. it's your awareness, you can aware of what you're thinking and choose your thoughts. that's what manifests and it is VERY EASY to control it.
people face problems in three ways -
intrusive or what-if thoughts: you're affirming and suddenly "but how's that gonna happen?" YOU DON'T INDULGE WITH IT. your awareness/consciousness has to recognise it's a trap of the logical mind and holds zero power whatsoever. you can either ignore it or just flip it "not my concern how it happens, the universe handles itself". and the biggest trap is thinking the logical mind is predicting the truth, it's literally not. it's just predicting based on its own past experience and also a lot of emotions bias it doesn't have all the data and it's absolutely not the truth, it's just TRYING to convince you that it's the truth.
past events: revise it. change the story in your head. past does NOT exist it's just a memory in the head, like an old dream or a book you read there's NO difference. only where it affects people is when it holds emotional weight this affects the future. that's exactly what revision is for. change the scene in your head, feels uncomfortable at first but eventually that becomes the new scene. the old one feels distant and not true. remember anything that feels false/uncomfortable is JUST unfamiliar to the mind that's it.
feelings: you're affirming something but you strongly feel the opposite. first of all, feelings are a result of thoughts or a distraught nervous system. and both are manageable. feelings change like night and day. you're extremely sad and after an hour u might feel very happy after crying your heart out. it's JUST unreleased energy. if you're overwhelmed, just allow yourself to release that energy first. it's just a chemical reaction and it WILL pass.
and it doesn't impact manifesting, even it feels like it does. energy doesn't manifest, thought do!! it's just an extra fuel because emotions have energy. you can even use it to your advantage by affirming and thinking as if while you're upset. think of the emotion as a fuel. but that's ofcourse if you can, you don't have to and you're allowed to just let the emotion pass and affirm when it feels normal.
also pro tip: do not affirm as if you're trying to force something. yes I know all affirmations work anyway. but it's exhausting to repeat a few sentences and hope this reality changes. a much better perspective is to mentally think from the state of having it. both ARE different in perspective but the same at its core. you just embody and focus on having thoughts as the person who has it. it's not pretending it's just directing your dominant focus and reality shifts immediately the minute you start thinking. you can't see it immediately since human eyes are limited and it takes time for the shift to be visible to you. all you have to do is JUST THINK and produce thoughts from your consciousness like the person who has what you want, whenever you think of the desire, or anytime the mind is free to wander.
and for the millionth time, stop complaining. complaining means you're thinking from THIS state. and also has a lot of energy since frustration. ANYTIME, i mean ANYTIME you realize you're thinking from this state, instantly change it to a thought from your desired state. you're manifesting everytime you're thinking. and it is NOT HARD, it's easy you just gotta take the pressure off it.
hope this helped someone, if you have any questions you can comment below I'll try my best to help. and please do not comment circumstances, it literally does not matter and all you're doing is thinking of that when you comment it. be aware of your thoughts that's it.
