I'm like, oh, that's on its way.

Just like every once in a while, I'll be like, oh, that's on its way.

It's coming.

I don't know when, but it's coming.

And I just trusted it fully.

And I just would honestly say it as a joke.

Like I wasn't even really like trying to manifest it.

I would just say it as a joke.

And literally I get a call right after doing this exercise of activating the feeling states of my desires.

And maybe that wasn't the specific goal, right?

That I was sitting there being like, why isn't this happening?

But it wasn't the specific goal that I had in my head, but it was something that made me feel all of those feelings that I was after.

And I feel like that's another really great example of, and it just proves like we don't necessarily want the things we want.

Like we really do just want things to make us feel the way that we want to feel.

And so being open to that, being open to alternate paths, alternate opportunities, different ways that something can help you feel that way.

And immediately after that happened, I was just like, wow, I just did that activity and it already came.

I learned, right, that mom and her emotions are to be managed.

So if that means stopping my behavior, not sharing my perspective or opinion or emotional experience.

In childhood, when we need those connections for our physical and emotional survival, we'll listen to those messages before we'll listen to ourselves.

That's what we needed in childhood is for someone to say, you are very upset right now.
