As a Manifestation Coach I get asked this question (a lot):

Why isn’t my manifesting working?

Now, as much as everyone is unique and has their own set of challenges in this area, I have found that the reason your manifesting isn’t working usually comes down to a few key things.

In fact, more often than not, the one thing that is preventing you from manifesting your desires is usually staring you right. in. the. face. and can be corrected!

In order to help you on your manifesting journey, I have put together this post to cover:

➤ Why your desires aren’t manifesting

➤ Signs your manifesting desires aren’t manifesting

Let’s start with signs your desire’s aren’t manifesting so you know you’re in the right place…

4 Most Common Signs Your Desires Aren’t Manifesting:

1. When you think about your manifestation you feel doubtful and frustrated rather than being in a place of positive expectation. *Energies of doubt and frustration BLOCK your manifesting efforts.

2. You can’t stop thinking about what you want (and not in a good way but an incessant way!) . *Being too obsessed/attached means you’re not in the right energy to RECEIVE.

3. Whenever you go to take action around your manifestation it doesn’t feel like things are FLOWING rather, you continuously feel STUCK.

4. Lastly, nothing is happening! You aren’t getting any positive signs that your desires are on their way, making very little headway therefore perpetuating the feelings of frustration and doubt even more!

Now, let’s talk about the reasons WHY this is happening!

3 Reasons Why Your Manifesting Isn’t Working!

Reason 1: You’re going too big too quickly

So the first, and most common reason I see why people's manifesting isn't working, is that they go too big too quickly!

They learn about the law of attraction and other universal laws and believe that they can pick any goal or object and think about it long enough and it will magically appear.

The #problem with this is, that they actually don’t BELIEVE it’s possible. And what this does, is cause a DISRUPTION in their vibration and prevent their desires from manifesting!

An example of this would be someone who earns $100k a year salary and wants to manifest themselves into becoming a millionaire in the next 12 months.

While IT IS POSSIBLE, (and kudos to you if you can make it happen), usually a jump this big just isn’t BELIEVABLE and therefore causes you to worry and stress about your desires.

And, the problem with this is:

You need to BELIEVE it in order to RECEIVE it!

That is why going too big too quickly is such a common reason your desires aren’t manifesting.

As someone who works as a Manifestation Coach, my advice is always to:

start small.

If you earn $100k a year salary, and you are new to manifestation, begin by trying to manifest a $20k pay rise.

This should be relatively easy to do (if you know how to get yourself into vibrational alignment) and, what will happen is it will STRENGTHEN your BELIEF in the process.

And this new belief you have in the process of manifestation will then act as a stable foundation for you to go and manifest an even bigger pay rise next time.

That’s why starting small is key to becoming a great manifestor.

*If you want help bringing yourself into vibrational alignment with your desires I cover this in detail in my free vision board masterclass (as well as how you can start seeing IMMEDIATE results from your manifesting!)

Reason 2: You’re not taking any action

The second most common reason I see why people’s manifesting isn’t working is that they aren’t taking any action.

Or more specifically, they aren’t taking any inspired action.

You see, manifesting is a 2-way street.

Once you put your desires out into the universe (and bring yourself into alignment with them using tools like vision boards and visualisation), you then need to take inspired action!

And this will always come in the form of an intuitive impulse.

The morning that you wake up with an inspired idea to ask for a pay rise, start a blog or contact that old friend who has been on your mind, IS THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION.

This is your signal from the universe that your desires are manifesting and all you need to do is take that first step.

But so often people don’t.

Instead, they wait.

And what happens when you wait is, the moment passes you by and you end up back at square 1.

This is why not taking action is such a key reason why your desires aren’t manifesting!

What you need to do is strike while the inspiration is HOT!

Reason 3: You’re trying too hard

The third, and MOST COMMON reason, I see why people’s manifesting isn't working is that they are trying too hard.

What I mean by that is they want it too much.

They are being desperate.

And what happens when you are desperate is that you start to echo a vibration of LACK.

Instead of saying to the universe:

“I want my desire and I believe it’s coming!”

You are saying:

“I need it, I have to have it, where is it!”

In this instance, the universe works much like the dating world...

Your desires simply won’t be attracted to you when you’re acting needy and desperate!

That’s why trying too hard is such a common reason why your desires aren’t manifesting.

Instead, you need to find a way to RELAX and be easy about the whole thing.

Be gentle on yourself.

Find fulfilment in your life without needing your desires to manifest.

I know this last point is the hardest to grasp…

After all, how are you meant to ‘let go’ of the very thing that’s so dear to your heart (whether that’s manifesting your soulmate, dream home, money, weight-loss, even pregnancy!)
