"When you visualise the work, you're preparing your body for it. So you're not resistant to it when it comes." Beautiful. You attract what you focus on. Keep focusing on what you want from life and you'll find your life will move in that direction ❤

“Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”

anytime i hear the words "hard work" and manifestation, i know they are doing it wrong. Manifestation is carving out an energetic path to bring your desires to you easily.

I love how Mel breaks things down. I had a bad habit of visualizing the achievement and not the journey. Now I understand. Thanks for the great advice!!!

I’ve manifested many things by visualising the end goal and meditating/visualisation. I still had a positive attitude and told myself “I’ve put my order into the universe it will come” then I continued to work towards it 🤷🏽‍♀️

AS someone who understands manifesting and has read/studied an incredible amount on it.....Not sure if I exactly agree with this....I have had exact visualizations show up in life...why would you visualize something bad happening? If you get aligned with yourself then USUALLY the bad things dont happen....and if they do they just dont bother you..you know how to deal with them. Get aligned with yourself first...then do the marathon and visualize the happy ending.

Here are my 10 extra tips to INCREASE your daily manifestations that I’ve learned over the years..👇🏾 1. Practice gratitude every morning. When you wake up, list everything that you are grateful for and feel that gratitude in your core. Feel free to write things down in a journal so it is easy for you to remember. 2. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Every time you feel a negative thought coming on, make a positive spin on it right away. 3. Take ownership for things that happen in your life. It's easy to blame others however you will feel much better when you realize that most issues stem from us. 4. ALWAYS believe that good things are about to happen. By being open to new possibilities you are inviting abundance into your life. 5. Remember that like attracts like so you get back whatever you put out, whether it is good or bad. So do good AND received good. 6. Meditate for five minutes a day. During this time focus on how you want your life to be; but place your focus on how you feel AND feel that feeling as if you have already accomplished those goals. 7. Step outside of your comfort zone. Stop playing it safe and make that decision to finally go for your dreams. 8. Focus on activities that make you feel truly happy. When you are truly happy you have the best vibrational frequency to manifest your desires. 9. Avoid the naysayers and surround yourself with people who only lift you higher. Downers will be downers, don't let them drag you into their misery. 10. Don't be afraid to dream and know that you are always supported by the universe.

I love her but I would have to disagree with her on this. I have not manifested the financial success she has as of yet but I have manifested many material things and wonderful experiences and even healed myself from devastating health problems and this came from seeing and feeling and living in the end. That’s the work to feel the end even when your not in it over and over again. When you feel like it’s not working, when you feel frustrated, when you feel it’s taking too long bring yourself back to the end. This is the work. It’s not easy when you give more importance to your outer world then your inner world but as you start to manifest you will shift that. What she is talking about is mental rehearsal which does work but you can’t do that if you have no idea how this thing will exactly manifest. Nor should you know the how is the domain of God. And seeing yourself at the end of the race as if it’s done constantly and vividly will pull you through everything you need to do to get to that place.

I feel like ppl in the comments missed the point. Visualize the journey, “the bridge”, and visualize working through hardships, how you’re going to deal with it and how you’re going to feel when you overcome obstacles

Neville Goddard would disagree, he advises to live in the wish fulfilled and dream better than the best, I'm sticking with neville ;)

Long before I knew LoA existed, I fantasized about meeting Elvis Costello. I was in high school. Abt three years later when I was at UCSB, I met him while driving someone I didn't know to the phone company to pay a phone bill. I didn't need to do a thing. It was all taken care of for me.

My first book comes out this Friday and I love to visualize people enjoying reading it. I like the idea of visualizing the work involved. Now that I’ve gone through the whole process, I can totally do that. 😉😆

If you feel like a loser looking at things on your vision board, you've missed the point. Feel what you eventually want to happen/manifest, so the stepping stones to it will be manifested.

The trick is visualizing those hard things while sitting in the emotion of the dream board. So the energy is different in those hard thoughts, and it begins to minimize them.

*"I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine." - Neil Armstrong*

We manifest everyday. Therefore I make it a habit to be highly grateful everyday. Don’t get fixated on what you don’t have but be content and grateful for the life you currently have. Less complaints, be happy. Change your mindset.

*5 things to quit right now:* *1. Overthinking* *2. Trying to make everyone happy* *3. Living in the past* *4. Worrying* *5. Doubting yourself*

I've looked so much into Law of Attraction and manifesting and I've never heard this tip. It makes sense and is super helpful! This truly takes the quote "life is a journey" into practice!

Well in my opinion and from experience, there are more than 1 way to perceive how to go about manifesting. So I suggest to people that they seek out and examine what method works best for themselves and feel most comfortable with. A method that actually brings them positive RESULTS that is! The other thing is that a lot of people have been focusing way too hard on the end result of their manifestations rather than their actual personal development along with it! If people would focus on their personal development, developing a high level of resiliency, confidence, intuition, and other things, then they would be able to get through any adversity of the process. They wouldn't need to visualize hardship as this process in this video explains. I CERTAINLY haven't EVER felt that this method explained here in this video was necessary to manifest anything in my life. Everything has come to me effortlessly. Small and large things.

Thank you 🙏 I’ll manifest: Speaking 6 languages is easy and I love it so much that I’ll attract some nice people who want to travel and study with me. Have a great day you two, I love you 💕

“VISUALIZE THE WORK” is the critical phrase here. That’s it and that’s all. Most of us think it all comes easy without work (and on some rare occasions it does, but) and commitment in those difficult times.

Why would I want to visualize the hard parts? The path of least resistance is the life I want to live. If I am facing resistance that means I amm not centered somewhere. If I am centered when I come to the hard parts I will be able to deal with the emotions that come with it, refocus and get to the big picture.

You are 100% correct and it just dawned on me while you were talking. When I decided to train for and complete an Ironman race, first step was to make it definitive. Then I broke each section down by the time I wanted to finish that segment in. Then I went deeper and broke that down even further to help me stay on track. Worked like a charm. So now I’ll take my pretty vision board and break it down into “segments” so that I can get to my dream day.

Mel, I have been drowning for a while now. I am so stuck. I came across your videos last night. Normally I listen to scary stories to fall asleep, but you popped up. Ive been watching you all morning. I've been needing a female mentor for a long time. I just want to say thank you, I already feel like I am gaining some tools to move forward.

As always, Thanks Mel for breaking complicated concepts down into more digestible bits.

I get the point, and it makes sense. Just briefly imagine a challenge - don't give it much attention - then invoke positive energy by envisioning how you overcome the challenge and get closer to your goal. It reaffirms your determination, so when the reality of obstacles happens, you've already trained yourself to not let them trip you up. Brilliant!!

Yes !! This is exactly what I needed to hear. Absolute logic ❤️ Keep guiding like this. Stay blessed 🙃

This is so true my first vision board was more about building my confidence and being emotionally healthy to be prepared for my ultimate goal. It was so beautiful looking back seeing my manifesting skills work. I do boards every year for mostly smaller goals and a few big goals. It's been a gamechanger for me ❤

Love this!!! I got through my first marathon (in my 50's) just this way!! Baby steps along the way and knowing what obstacles I would encounter.

*"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." - Aristotle Onassis*

Lovee this!! Just started a job in cold callingg!! I needed to hear this

I love Mel. She’s a realist and wise.

I never would have thought of that. Initially, it sounded like visualizing negativity.. But as i listened, i understood what she was saying about having manifested being IN your goal and PERSEVERING through the tough stuff 👍 very wise and creative; very strategic, definitely!!!

(I've further thought it over because I don't want to be bias) If you're confused: 1. Mel Robbins is 100% correct. Let me explain. She is teaching people how to practice aka prepare the body and mind for the work. How to tangibly or physically BE the person who has the goal. 2. She is NOT teaching people how to use the Law of Attraction. She is teaching people how to do the ACTION part. 3. The attraction part is solely due to the mind. BUT if you don't do the action part you will not manifest it or receive it. It has been well documented of this problem and it is why a lot of people fail at using mental science. Mental science being science of the mind NOT neural science. This is why I dislike those who only follow Neville because they seem to not always understand all the facets of action. 4. If you do the ACTION part and DON'T do the attraction part you will also fail. Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways FAIL because they are ignorant of the attraction part. I know of many real examples. Even examples like once they became aware of the attraction part they then started doing good, even though the action part did not alter in any way... Also the law of attraction is a secondary law. The law of vibration when used for obtaining your goal will put you in the vibration or attitude you need to be in to make the Correct decisions and actions. If you are in doubt you will not be making the right decisions and actions unless you are doing something you already know how to do and even then you will still fail in the end like I said early. 5. Visual Boards do NOT work; she is correct. But let me tell you why: "Something more is necessary, however, than merely to see the picture clearly. If that is all you do, you are only a dreamer, and will have little or no power for accomplishment." The vision boards ONLY PURPOSE is to help in clarifying your vision of what it is you want. That is it! 6. Should you visualize OVERCOMING obstacles that may occur? A) It is up to you. If you have a strong faith, then I do not think you need to. The key is to not let your outer world control your thinking and emotions. If you do that you will keep going with strong mental toughness no matter what. The outer appearance of things trick you. Stop looking to the outside to see if it is working. Your understanding knows that it is working. BUT if your faith wavers, then that is BAD. You are attracting the opposite of what you want ever hour and day you spend in doubt, worry, and fear. Not only that you will begin to make the wrong decisions because you are being lead by a negative attitude. Trust me, I know this from experience back when I didn't understand this much. Lost a lot of things I gained. You want to gain and keep. Faith can also be created and strengthen without doing what she said too. I explain later on. B) If you know that temporary defeat or what looks like it in your outer world will cause you to lose your faith and your positive attitude then do what she said to do. Look it is not your concern what happens in the bridge. Your only concern is your will. That is what she is teaching you. You must will yourself to BE the person that has obtained the goal. That person can overcome... That person doesn't sleep in... That person doesn't over party with friends... That person has great faith... That person has an expectant attitude... However you get these things to be true for you DOESN'T MATTER By visualizing the bad parts, you're not believing those negative things will 100% happen. But even if they do happen you will be prepared unlike those who did not visual it. Assuming they don't have a strong faith that is. Your only task is the action part, you must BE truly the person who has the goal. She is teaching you how. But here is what Wallace Wattles says about it: "you cannot tell how you will want to act in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived... And do not spend time in the present taking thought as to the best course in possible future emergencies; have faith in your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives." 8. How does the Law of Attraction part work? A) You get a clear and definite vision of what you want (vision board or on a paper or just your mind) B) Then you claim that vision for yourself in your consciousness. You do that by getting emotionally involved with the vision. You must have emotional faith and be emotionally involved with your goal all the time. Emotionally believe it is already done. Every outgoing wave of emotional faith will produce a more stronger belief in your paradigm. Assuming you retain your faith and do not swing back and forth between faith and doubt. The paradigm is what makes it more and more NATURAL. You can use any emotion. If you feel with deep sadness that you have won the award and do the action part to win it... You will win the award. Odd huh? If you feel with gratitude you have won the award and do the action part, you will win the award. When you exactly win the award cannot be controlled though. Sorry. This is why faith is so important. You have to retain it. Btw I am not saying you should use negative emotions on purpose... If you have negative emotions just use them productively as fuel, DONT push them down. Keep in mind you can control your emotions by choosing to think the right way. But regardless of positive or negative emotions FAITH must be retained. 9. Summary of all the stuff I wrote: Mel Robbins is teaching you the action part. You will fail without the action part. I promise you that. She is NOT teaching you the attraction part. Without the attraction part you will also fail. If you have the action part, most likely, you will unconsciously being doing the attraction part. The attraction part is always going whether you believe in it or not. The main point in visualizing overcoming the bad is to retain faith and mental toughness. That is all. Lastly, yes vision boards don't work. Listen to this lady. She is not just saying stuff that has no validity. - If you see any of my other comments, disregard them because it is before I sat down and really thought about what she said.

I agree visualisation "How you are doing your work is also good!" Step by step towards big picture!

Thank you Mel, interesting and more realistic to manifest without resistance, step by step ! Greetings from Belgium, Europe.

Mel always speaks the truth. I uh, need to amend my vision board, looks like 😆

This Mel's advice is going to change my life, for sure !!! 💕

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Thank God, finally someone who sees the problem with only visualising the result. I thought something is wrong with me, i did that only to find myself getting exactly the opposite. But in understand why: the gap was too great and made me feel like it was too hard, like i was a failure, like it was impossible to get there, feeling the lack of the thing I desired. Now i visualise AND DO small steps first, to get familiar with my goal. Like if you want to win a marathon visuslize yourself running just like Mel said, but also start in reality running for a few minutes at first. Thank you for your excellent advice, i will definitely implement that!

manifestation is so real. you can have whatever you want in this life❤

I wish this was the first video in L.O.A. I came across. In my opinion, there's so many teachers on KZfaq that is teaching this wrong! I was one of many who was financially broke when I learned about LOA and everyone I came across instructed me to create a vision board of my wealthy life. For years I didn't get remotely close to attracting what was on my board. In fact, my financial situation got worse because I was always thinking of the end result and not visualizing of the next step! Thank you both for clarification!!!

This is the masterpiece Mel 😎

I so needed this right now.

Thank you 🙏 THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION AND ADVICE regarding LOA and making a vision. Thank you 😊 I feel blessed 😇

🙏🏿Thank you! I couldn't understand why I never bought into the Vision Board concept...but you broke it down brilliantly. Glad this video popped up.

“You don’t change the score by watching the scoreboard.” ~ Vince Lombardi

I listen to this and I remember you said the exact same thing on the High 5 habit audio book.

Love you Mel!

love this message... thank you Mel

Listening to her always gives me chills

Visualization of hard work manifests the hard work. I feel she's saying this to get people into a state of allowing/acceptance. Yes there are things that could be "hard" along the way , it's hard because you said it's hard and have accepted it as such. Manifestation is easy, we're doing it now, now, now. Always manifesting. Neville Goddard "Live in the end" the bridge creates itself. It's not a 'Doing' it's 'Being'. Hermes: "That which is, is manifested; that which has been or shall be, is unmanifested, but not dead; for Soul, the eternal activity of God, animates All things."

Great advice! Right to the point.

Lot's of wisdom in this Mel ⚡️

This is insanely good!

She is so energetic and funny as well as Helpful at the same time....thanks Mam ❤️

Wow that was better and way more helpful than expected.

Wow! Thanks Mel for clarifying the difference, I see what you mean now.

Awesome advice Mel. Thankyou!❤

I am going to visualize the horrible stuff more often! This remind me of the stoic tecnique of "negative visualization"!

I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear this. Thank you Mel!

Yea!!! This reminds me of when my husband says sorry u have to go to work and I’m like I’m not. I’m glad I can work.

Love this video thank you for sharing❤❤

Take out: not jut visualize the outcome/ goal, but also the bridge, the hard parts, putting in the work, failing and pushing through.

AWESOME THANK YOU VERY MUCH MEL

I know I was doing it wrong..lol. thanks Mel❣❣ You are so awesome

I love you Mel but I don't agree with this completely. I get it's not just visualizing the goals and doing nothing to get there. Of course we have to do the work to get there. How does visualizing the negative help you? The secret is all about law of attraction. Thinking positive thoughts attracts more positive. Visualizing how hard its going to be will draw in more hardship. Thx for all of your utube videos they help me everyday! Love you ❤

Visualize deeply enjoying the "hard work" that it takes, in order to fulfill your life purpose, because you're on a mission. That's much deeper than just visualizing about getting things.

I'm a an up-and-coming pro fighter myself and this has helped me massively ❤❤❤❤❤❤

When you added how he said he would visualize the obstacles ANDDD how to deal with the obstacles >>

Thanks Mel Robbins 🌎

I always visualise myself getting through the worst. Like if I m continuously getting stuck at same problem I visualise next time getting thru it. And then the next step n next. It's a bridge. It's a road / journey to that big thing I'd want to end up to. I visualise having more energy or not getting tired when I'm doing a certain work etc. It's a childhood habit. But then since Mel has pointed out. Makes sense that y ppl get intimidated by the big things they don't even believe they can have or they don't mean anything to them!

This is great! It gave me a clear insight of what I should be focusing on. Just one thing… isn’t visualizing the bad stuff attracting the bad stuff in some way shape or form flyer it to happen?

Thank you!

You just can't just sit and look at the vision board, you have to make physical and mental moves to get those things on that vision board or what have you; i.e.., registering that new business, opening open a business banking account, learning that new skill, etc. 😊

This is GOLD!!!

The best! Thank you so much

Thank you so much 🙏

Mel, that was so damn cool.. Thank you!

Wonderful insight here!

An honest look into The Secret will show you it's just a regurgitation of the book, Think and Grow Rich. I understand that MLMs support this, and some encourage this kind of thinking and spiritual bypassing so they can sell as much product as possible. In fact, that kind of "business" model (which is protected, but it really it should be the consumers that are protected from such predatory practices) and the culture it resides in (a.k.a. the broader culture that we live in) will shame people for their current situation (hence the studio and dirty litterbox reference). We need to take an honest look at our culture that demands that people pull themselves up by their bootstraps (focus on the individual and "survival of the fittest" - which has been debunked) rather than cultivating emotional intelligence and maturity and a healthier group think - the foundation to success.

Hi Mel. Sometimes I watched videos on a mute because of auto-captions and I love to watch videos on mute kindly put captions on your all videos. It's a humble request, lots of people cannot hear properly so they read the caption.😊😊

Facts ....mindsett ...fi straight ....pan d journey

Brilliant!

Just pray and wait on God. Keep working hard and loving yourself God will come through. Amen 🙏♥️

Thank you so much

But in general, these are great tips- " resilience ", AKS immunity and preparedness!

How did I get on this bridge? The Truth is at a higher frequency, if you hear it then congratulations!!

I think you should visualize both not just the bridge but the end of it too.

This is exactly what I needed to hear!!!! Thank you, Mel Robbins, I officially love you! ha! Thank you for caring for people so much that this is your lifelong mission. You are totally doing God's work here. xoxo

I used to visualize instinctively all the hardships in my goals until the law of attraction teachers said “Only visualize what you want, not what you don’t want.” So I had stopped. Now I realize I was right to visualize the hardships all along!

Really insightful, Mel! I love focusing on the journey, and not just the destination. What you focus on grows!

But does/will it work for anything and everything? Does not the feeling want create more want thus the feeling of problems create more problemss.

i think you just need to love life right now and the universe will bring you everything you desire. It's the law of attraction, you are attracting everything, why attract crap stuff.

Mel is so awesome

To tag on to that - When you're visualizing the hard stuff on the bridge... The real results will almost always be better, even if they aren't "good". Which means that even a fail is a better fail than what you visualized. which is a good motivator to keep going. "Oh, that was better than I expected. Let's keep going." *high5*

Manifesting the PERCEIVED OBSTACLES worked well for me in early recovery. I still use this strategy for other intentions and it works for thos I guide to be prepared. TIP: ADMITT your FEAR OF FAILURE, CREATE a list of POTENTIAL OBSTACLES, PREPARE and PRACTICE your approach. Best WISHES and PRACTICES to us all!

wow wow, thank you!
