Welcome to the wildly competent Podcast, where we discuss all the ways to help you get more confident, make more money and get the results you want in your life. I’m Katherine Weisner, your host, I’m a certified life coach,and the creator of my own multimillion dollar business. Hey, everyone, I’m so glad you’re here today, we are not going to be talking about weeds, we’re actually going to be talking about seeds. And by seeds, what I mean is how to properly manifest your dreams, your desires, your goals, your results into your life, and we are going to be using a lot of gardening analogies, because I think they are just perfect to help your brain understand how to truly manifest something new into your life. I talk about manifesting as being 50% internal work and 50% external work. So many people say to me, you know, hey, I mean, I can see, you know, you’re able to get things in your life. But manifesting doesn’t work for me, there are all these things I want, like, I want to win the lottery, I want this new job, I want to get a million dollars, and I don’t have that stuff, Katherine. And like manifesting is just not real. And I think the problem is that people just have not been taught some of the logistics around how manifest investing actually works. It is an internal and an external game. But the first part is all internal. The first 50% of manifesting is internal thought, work, emotion work that you need to do. A lot of people just do the thought work part of that they do the mindset work. They’re like, Oh, yeah, I really want this money, like I want to make $100,000 next year, and they’ll think about it, and they’ll think about it or think about it, and they just don’t get it because they’re not connecting the thoughts into the emotion piece of it, which the emotion is the fuel that is going to fuel you into turning it from an internal game into an external game. And that is why so many things people desire, never make it out into the 3d external world. Because there is so much internal work that needs to be done before that thing is going to sprout out into the world. And once the internal work is done, so once you’re like at 51%, and manifesting what you want, the external work really isn’t that much. It’s really, really getting your internal game, succinct and dialed in, that’s going to help you be able to manifest. So let me go ahead and talk a little bit more about what that means that internal game, and I’m going to use the gardening analogy. So when we have a desire we want. And let’s just use an example here, let’s say your desire is to make $100,000 in your own business next year. And when you have that desire, what you’re going to be doing is for sure, gonna be planting that seed in your garden or planting that idea in yourself, okay. And it takes a lot of momentum for a seed to grow outside, it’s actually quite magical, when you think about it, you’re planting something in the ground in the dark, and somehow it has the momentum to just sprout out from the dark into the light. It’s an absolutely amazing process to witness. And I think this is really fun to talk about right now, especially since it’s Aries season. And if you don’t know Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. And Aries encompasses the energy that is needed in the seed to sprout out of the ground. So there really is a lot of momentum and energy needed. And if you aren’t thinking thoughts that are going to allow that seed to grow, then that seed is not going to get anywhere because it will not have the energy or the emotion to be able to sprout out of the ground. I’ve talked about this before, but your thoughts are super important in order to manifest anything. And it can’t be that you’re just repeating mantras, and you don’t believe them, because you won’t have the proper emotion to help that seed grow to help your dream or your vision for the future actually grow. You absolutely need to be thinking thoughts that give you the emotion that is going to help that seed grow. So we’re just going to test this out with you right now. Okay. So I want you to think about whatever it is you’re trying to manifest right now. And I’m going to just talk you through that. With the example I’m going to be using of the person that wants to make $100,000 in their business next year, you can manifest whatever you want, you just go ahead and take a moment right now and get it in your head. Then, I want us to metaphorically imagine planting that, that seed in to yourself, okay? This is something that we are going to grow and cultivate into our being. So we become that result in the future. As you’re planting that seed within you, I want you to take a moment right now. And I want you to notice how you feel inside, I want you to notice the thoughts that are coming out for you. And the example I use of the person wanting to make $100,000 next year, I’m going to share with you some of the things that are coming up for them. It’s a mixture of both positive and negative thoughts, they have thoughts that they’re capable of doing it, and that they are going to do it. But they also have some thoughts, that they’re not good enough, they’re not smart enough. And you likely have a mix of both positive and negative thoughts that are causing both positive and negative emotions. And that’s one of the reasons why you do not have this thing that you desire in your life yet why you’ve not manifested yet. And this is exactly where weeds come into your manifesting practice. Weeds are external things outside of you that are going to give you limiting beliefs. But those limiting beliefs also need to be dealt with internally. We can learn how to remove weeds from our life. So they don’t continue to grow and block the sun and remove those limiting cultural beliefs that have been put on us by our parents, by society by our schools. But at the same time, we also need to own how those things, those limiting beliefs, those weeds have come into our own life and have created a shadow self in us. And I think it’s just such a perfect analogy here. Because we’re talking about planting seeds in the dark. Often our shadow side is in the dark. We’re unaware of it until we start to do these practices where we talk about reintegrating it and caring for it. You don’t have to fix yourself and fix these negative emotions and all this stuff to manifest things. You just have to get enough momentum to get that seed out of the ground. So this is not about being perfect and getting everything right. And it’s not even about curing yourself. In fact, the mantra I use when manifesting is always care, not care. So the small practice I’m leaving you with today is the practice throughout this week of imagining the things you want to manifest into your life. And visually seeing yourself planting those desires those dreams within you. I want you just to notice what thoughts are coming up. Are they positive? Are they negative? Do you believe it’s possible for you to have them in your life? Why? Why not? What are the obstacles your brain is telling you, you have that is stopping you from getting that thing you desire in your life, and sit with it, be aware of it, care for it. Don’t resist. Notice when judgmental thoughts come up and hold them with love and care and attention. Because when we start caring for the parts of ourselves that we reject, we just start loving them and showing compassion for them. And those parts start to feel safe and us and they start to realize they are safe. They don’t need to have all the defenses up that it is okay to go out and do these new things. It is okay to dream big dreams and they don’t need to protect you anymore because that’s what the shadow side typically does. It thinks it’s trying to protect us from all these horrible things out in the world. And we have to love it for that we have to say thank you for doing that. And I’m okay too. And I love you too. And you’re part of me too. And I see you and I hear you and I understand and everything’s okay because the extent to which we can own our darkness or Shadow, the deeper our roots can grow, and the more expansive, whatever we’re trying to grow is going to be once it comes into the light, you absolutely need to have a place in the shadow for strong roots to grow. And the only way to reclaim that space is by owning it, and loving it, and re integrating it into your wholeness and your being. So the greatest medicine you can give your shadow side is just to care, just to love it, just to nurture it. Just to give it the warmth of the sun, to give it the warmth of your heart. And when you care for it. You’re going to grow and you’re going to blossom beyond what you ever could have imagined. Thank you for joining. I hope you come back next week.
