Have you heard of the term self-concept? I hadn’t until about a year ago. It is something often heard in the manifesting community, specifically the law of assumption community. It is a concept that has completely changed me for the better. It basically means this - the way you view yourself quite literally changes your world.
Think of it this way - if I walk into a room slouching, looking around nervously, not making eye contact, etc., how do people show up for me? Well, they’ll probably view me as shy, lacking, and definitely not confident. If that’s the case, do you think they would want to, let’s say, do business with me? Would you trust someone coming off that way to sell you a product or service you can believe in when they clearly don’t even believe in themselves?
I wouldn’t.
Would you want to date someone like this? Or are they giving off an energy that something is inherently wrong with them? On the flip side, if I walk into a room completely owning it - smiling at people, walking tall and self-assured, opening myself up for communication - how do people show up for me?
Will they see me as friendly? Confident? Someone they want to know and be lead by in business or otherwise? If you answered yes to that then congrats, you are open minded enough to step into that energy yourself today. Before we get into how let’s dive a little deeper.
Let’s forget about other people completely. If you actually felt this way, genuinely confident in your abilities and knew that whatever you put your mind to you could achieve - how would YOU show up for you?
Would you actually go for the things that really light you up? The things you always wanted to do - start that business, write that book, pursue that career. Would you form new friendships and have amazing experiences because you just went for it? Would your actions be different? Would you date better? Would you workout and take care of yourself because you felt worthy of feeling really good all the time?
I would. I do. I didn’t always.
So now you can see how “logically” your self-concept changes your world. Let’s get back to the manifesting part, logic doesn’t exist there. And not because it’s not correct - it just doesn’t matter.
See in manifesting there are “states” of being. You can shift into these states at any moment. For example; let’s say right now you are in that shy, timid state of being. You do walk into a room nervously and you don’t feel confident. Well what would it feel like if you were someone else, someone who is always confident and self-assured because they know their worth? Can you just feel what that would possibly be like?
Beyoncé did this with “Sasha Fierce”, her on stage character. She was actually really shy and in order to perform on stage for an audience of her caliber, she created an alter ego, Sasha Fierce. Eventually she didn’t need Sasha anymore because she literally became her. She now is completely secure and confident to perform in front of thousands of people. It’s her natural state of being.
So what does being that secure feel like? It feels calm, it feels knowing, it feels like of course I can have and do whatever I want because I’m obviously worthy of it. And I don’t have to worry about TRYING to get anything. Because why would I? I have it already. When you shift into this state - the things, aligned actions, the people, the inspiration, the experiences, the opportunities, they just. come. to. you.
What is it that you want? Feel like you are someone who has that right now. And watch as everything shifts for you. And if you can’t wrap your head around the manifesting part of it or you simply don’t believe, it’s ok. You don’t have to - we covered the logical part. So start there.
But start somewhere because you are truly so powerful and you just have to awaken to that. You’ve been given this miracle of life and this creative ability, so do yourself the favor and don’t waste it!
This is how I created my baby, NUTRAL ATTIRE., five years ago I was not someone who could. Even one year ago, I was not fully someone who could. And the more I persist in my new self-concept the more it grows. Because I grow. And my belief in myself grows. And my self-concept says I am someone who can have a successful brand.
So figure out who you want to be and be her now. Before you even have the evidence - be the confident, successful, fearless you! Because that’s how you really get everything you want. And of course - we have the clothes to help. ❤️
