What your doubts are telling you

I just left a voice note for a friend about a realization I had. My doubts aren’t about the world around me, what anyone else says, or the content I consume. My doubts are only about what I believe about myself and the blocks within me.

This week, I started the To Be Magnetic Money Manifestation Challenge. I recently subscribed to this app for some deep inner work, to learn new tools, and to join a community. To Be Magnetic is a guided manifestation program rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energy work. It offers Deep Imaginings (hypnotic-style recordings), journaling prompts, boundary-setting exercises, and aligned actions designed to help clear subconscious blocks and strengthen self-worth so you can call in what you desire. I signed up now for one of their twice-annual group challenges - to learn new ways to manifest money. Really, it’s more about defining, then manifesting abundance. Because who doesn’t want to live an abundant life?

A few days in, I found myself doubting some of the content and exercises. Like, is this for real?! And I really started thinking about it. Where are these doubts coming from, and why am I so skeptical. Then during my meditation today, something clicked.

It doesn’t actually matter if the content is perfect or if someone else believes in it. What matters is why I’m doubting. The truth is, I’m not doubting the method or the people saying it. I’m doubting me. That’s the limiting belief. That’s the block. It’s not just a question of “can I manifest more money?” - because there are always ways to both make more money and live more abundantly. It’s deeper. It’s the voice (where does that voice even come from?!) that says, “you don’t really believe you can do this,” or “you don’t have control.” The doubt? It’s me handing over my power.

We tell ourselves a lot of stories. Mostly ones we’ve heard since we were young and that have just gotten stuck inside of us. Mine were - I’m not good enough to make this successful and I’m not worthy enough to have all the abundance I desire. Okay, it isn’t a "were" as much as a "still is", but I’m recognizing it (step one) and working through it (step two). Because I want to manifest some big stuff (I really don’t want to drive myself to the airport anymore!), I want to live abundantly (I love freedom and space in my schedule), and I want to believe in myself (because if I don’t - who will?).

And then - yes, this really happened - I opened a Dove chocolate wrapper as a little snack while writing this blog post. Inside, it said, “You can’t hit a homerun without a big swing.” So here I am. Ready to take the swing. Ready to believe, without the self-limiting beliefs. Ready to let the doubts go and let the manifestations - and transformations - begin.
