I finally cracked manifestation. Manifested a job fast in a highly competitive industry.
We're always manifesting, but to intentionally manifest something into your reality I've always viewed as difficult or hard or I have to do a bunch of shadow work to finally GET the thing.
I've known about manifestation for a LONG time since I was in highschool. To be honest, it was quite easy for me to receive blessings from the universe once I put out my intention. The reason why it was so easy is that I wasn't in survival mode. I had a well paying job, I lived with my parents so I wasn't constantly cooking for myself or paying (I sound very spoiled, ik, but I'm grateful).
The high life did not last for long as I moved to London from Melbourne 2 months ago. In those 2 months, I crashed out like crazy. Like every second day I was balling my eyes out: missing my family and friends, rationing a specific amount of food for groceries and being scared I will run out of money. As I did my job search, I would see how many people would apply in roles (I'm in tech so it's rough out there). It would be around 500+ applicants and 5 stages of the interview process (ridiculous I know).
I would get endless rejection emails or go through the first stage of an interview process and then be dropped just like that. I started to regret leaving my comfortable life back home and felt like I was on my hands and knees begging someone for a job.
I think there's a belief that many people hold that crashing out is preventing you from manifesting your specific thing. But sometimes it's essential, because then I could really understand how I was feeling and reverse that. I was telling myself that I was inferior to employers and that I had no value to give to them. Now I was in total survival mode at the time, so I needed to adopt a new mindset to really set me on a more positive path:
- Once I started observing my thoughts and flipping it, whenever that thought came up I said "I'm the one choosing". This was to help me stop spiralling and adopt the identity of someone who is stable.
- Just before I would go to sleep, I would input my mind with that thought of "I'm the one choosing" and visualise me getting the job. I often struggle with visualisation and it's not really my go-to, but for some reason when I'm doing it just before I sleep it's super vivid.
- I enjoyed the present. I hadn't been unemployed for a while and I was also in a new country. So I found joy in things that I probably couldn't do employed which was going to the gym at 2pm or waking up super late. Because of that I was able to detach from finding a job straight away, I ran on my own timeline.
- Law of rhythm. Knowing that if I'm experiencing so much negativity, I will soon be in a period of positivity. My situation is only temporary.
I got a call back from a company and through talking to them there was this deep knowing that I'd get it. Our intuition though often gets buried in doubts so when I reached the later stages of preparing a presentation I panicked. I had thoughts of "What if someone else is more qualified?", "What will I do if I get dropped now?". I was also not interviewing for other companies so I thought I'd be in deep trouble if I was not chosen. What helped at this stage was:
- I alchemised my fear or nervousness into excitement, so I approached the stages like it was fun. When I was younger, I did entrepreneurship competitions so I treated it like a competition. Because of that I tapped into the feeling that my younger self felt when I won awards.
- I told myself it would be great if I got this job, but I don't need it. This was the most difficult part, telling myself I don't need a job when money was clearly running low. Like YES, I do need the job because I need money. But I'm highly capable and if this doesn't work out, I'll get another offer anyways. It's that easy.
For the final stage I got invited to their office where I spoke to the leadership team. I prepared a little bit, but I wanted to be myself and not give the energy of someone pretending to be someone else.
The next day, I got a call from the recruiter and she left a voicemail saying she had 'feedback'. Chills. To me feedback sounded negative. So before I called her back, I embodied the feeling of someone who got the offer. And I GOT THE OFFER. What a relief omg. But also I was able to secure this in 2 months, which is quite good as some people in my role go about 5 months without any success.
Before, my typical manifesting routine would be repeating affirmations every night, but in this situation I was in a time crunch and was dealing with a lot of emotions. It just goes to show what you put in your mind is outputted in the reality. This is my first post, I loved reading the success stories because it helped me gain belief in myself so hopefully this helps anyone reading :)
TLDR: I learned to manifest my job by first setting the intention and protecting that intention from thoughts, beliefs and the 3D by enjoying life and feeding my mind with thoughts that serve me.
