What If Money Manifestation Fail to Work and What To Do Instead

No longer subscribe to money manifestation ideas online that focus on wishful thinking or false overnight promises. Instead, start from here.

Have you ever come across Law of Attraction posts on money manifestation that ask you to type in a “yes” or “claim it” in the comments in order to receive $1mil or $10mil into your bank account within 24 hours? You see…I did these a dozen times. Yet manifestation did not happen in the amounts that were stated. Not even 1% of the $8,200,000 or $10,000,000 (as promoted in the Law of Attraction social media posts — examples below) overnight for sure!

Has this been the same for you too?

4 Other Money Manifestation Ideas That Also Don’t Work for Most of Us

I found out that I wasn’t alone, after some time.

The following are some other money manifestation ideas online that don’t work for a vast majority of people…

1) Willing the mind for “positive thinking”, so that the Law of Attraction will respond to your mental thoughts.

If it is true, we can just sit on the couch all day and “positive think” for money to come into our bank account.

2) Creating a vision board over the weekend and hoping that your vision board does “magic”!

Note: A vision board is just a tool and not a magic wand that takes away the need to do inner work or apply action.

3) Going for psychic readings to change your fortunes.

Money manifestation is not a quick-fix and you - not the psychic - need to be in charge of your life!

4) Lighting white candles, burning some incense and praying to the Universe to grant your wishes.

The Universe does not respond to whether you are “spiritual” or not. It takes a lot more than burning incense for money to manifest!

My Challenges with Money Manifestation

Like many others, I also applied the ideas that the money manifestation experts advised. Mantras, vision boards, prayers — I did them all.

Well, at first, it worked. But MOSTLY for the big amounts (with 2 exceptions), it didn’t…what a bummer! What I did notice was that I was feeling disappointed, frustrated and anxious.

As time went on, I was also blaming myself that I was “not good enough”, that something was wrong with me and that other people have all the luck! After being stuck for a very long time, the penny (notice the pun?) finally dropped! It struck me that since I was feeling this bad about money and myself, this could be a good place to start. I could work on transforming how I feel and think about money. Which was what I did.

No more wishful thinking, magic wands and quick-fix pills, but committing to letting go of the baggage that holds me back.

Indeed, after having made shifts in the way I think and feel, I found out that I was able to create more focus, since I was less emotionally burdened. Also, I was able to handle financial matters with greater clarity and ease.

The bonus: some manifestation strategies such as applying creative visualization, became a lot more effective!

What You Can Choose to Focus On Instead

I concede that there probably is no obvious harm to responding with a “yes” or “claim it” to the hundreds of money manifestation social media posts.

However, let’s recognize that it could form wishful thinking if you are expecting money to manifest overnight. And if you go into criticizing yourself that you are “a failure”, unlucky or “not good enough”, you will need to stop the self-blame.

It’s not true that you are lousy or that you suck in manifestation. In fact, you are like the vast majority of people who didn’t manifest $10 or $100 from responding with a “yes” to a social media post.

Let’s focus on what can be done instead!

Since you can’t change the economy or others, the only way is to change yourself. I suggest using an inside-out approach; that is, work on changing what you think and how you feel about money. Not just about money, work on transforming what you think and feel about yourself in the context of money matters.

Thus, you work on transforming the relationship you have with money (and about yourself). If you can improve self-worth and believe that you are indeed worthy, the actions that you undertake will reflect the positive change. So if you work on believing that you are worthy of money and abundance, it becomes a lot easier for you to act or make decisions confidently from that belief.

Your net worth is a function of self-worth and an ability to undertake aligned actions that support your financial well-being.

Indeed, improving our relationship with money has the benefit of lifting our wellness. We are able to thrive, breathe more easily and show up as our authentic selves, with much less struggle. When we have more breathing space, we are better able to operate from the platform of “enough”.

We find that we are able to be more generous with our time, resources and money with others — instead of feeling tight and broke all the time. Even whilst we work towards our goals and dreams, we are in greater joy and gratitude. Since we are less emotionally attached, we also make better and clearer investment decisions.

Finally, with a lift in our vibrational state, what we do want also becomes easier to attract; by virtue of the Law of Attraction.

Hence, it is when we make a change from the inside-out that the magic truly happens!
