3 Steps to Manifest from Emotion: Stop Chasing and Align with Your Highest Timeline
Have you ever felt like you needed to shrink yourself to fit in? Like your energy, emotions, and truth were too much for the world around you? Or maybe you felt like you couldn’t receive love unless you diluted parts of yourself—that’s if you even knew who the real you was. If you've ever held back—whether to make others comfortable, to avoid judgment, or simply to feel safe—this is for you.
For a long time, I thought I was being humble by keeping myself small. I believed that if I made myself more digestible—if I softened my edges, downplayed my wins, and prioritized how others felt—I’d be more accepted. I was told as a child, “You think you’re better than us,” and with my already fragile self-confidence, I internalized it as a directive to become invisible. And that’s exactly what I did.
I carried that belief into adulthood, constantly shaping my energy to fit what I thought others needed from me. I silenced parts of myself, withheld my opinions, and made myself smaller in rooms where I should have taken up space. But in reality, I was disconnecting from myself, blocking my manifestations, and creating resistance in my life.
I was afraid. I was offering a fearful energy, and can you guess what I received in return? More fear.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of making others uncomfortable or upset.
Fear of speaking my truth instead of saying what I thought others wanted to hear (because please, like me!).
Fear of stepping into my power.
Fear of thriving while others stayed the same.
Fear of letting go of what no longer fit.
And fear is sneaky. It disguises itself as being realistic, staying humble, or not wanting to rock the boat. But the truth is, your emotions set the foundation for your life, and fear will always pull you out of alignment.
Manifestation Starts with Emotional Awareness
Manifestation isn’t about doing more, forcing outcomes, or proving yourself. It’s about recognizing your emotional state, deciding how you want to feel, and allowing your actions to flow from that space.
Most people do it backwards.
Most people chase—and that’s the real problem. They chase the material thing, the job, the relationship, or the validation, believing it will make them feel better. They look for external proof that they are worthy, secure, or complete.
I did this—I chased people in order to feel loved, accepted, and wanted. I worked hard to make others see my value, thinking that if they acknowledged my worth, then maybe I could, too. I attached my sense of security to how much I could give to others, believing my worth was tied to how much I sacrificed. This belief was reinforced by my religious upbringing—where selflessness was seen as a virtue that brought me closer to Source. My subconscious thought process was: How can I put others before myself? How can I make them feel seen, heard, and supported so they will recognize my worth?
But what I should have done—what we should all do—is flip the script and begin with the feeling first. Instead of chasing external things, thinking they will bring the emotions we crave, we need to choose those emotions first.
Instead of chasing a job to feel worthy, embody worthiness now.
Instead of chasing money to feel secure, find security in the present moment.
Instead of chasing a relationship to feel complete, recognize that wholeness comes from within.
Get curious:
What am I feeling right now?
How do I want to feel instead?
Your emotions create your vibration. Your vibration creates your reality.
So, instead of waiting for external circumstances to shift before you allow yourself to feel good, set the emotional tone first. Then let your actions reflect that energy.
Three Steps to Manifest from Emotion and Energy
1. Emotional Awareness: Recognize What You’re Feeling
Before you can shift your energy, you have to know where you are emotionally.
Are you feeling stressed, doubtful, or stuck?
Are you feeling expansive, excited, or grounded?
Where in your body are you holding tension or ease?
Pause and name the emotion before reacting. The more aware you become, the easier it is to shift into alignment.
2. Choose How You Want to Feel
Once you recognize what you’re feeling, you get to decide how you want to feel instead.
If you desire peace, what thought or action supports that?
If you desire confidence, how can you embody that now?
If you desire freedom, what choices make you feel expansive?
Shift your focus from “What do I need to do?” to “How do I want to feel?”
3. Take Action from Emotional Alignment
Instead of chasing results, let your emotions guide your process.
When you are aligned:
You attract opportunities instead of forcing them.
You respond instead of reacting.
You create space for the right people, places, and experiences to find you.
Question yourself before any decision:
"Does this support the way I want to feel?"
Your emotions are your vibrational compass. When you choose how you feel first, everything else follows.
Manifestation’ Mic-Drops
Awareness is the first step. You can’t shift your energy if you don’t acknowledge where you are.
You get to choose how you feel. No external situation has power over your emotional state.
Aligned action flows naturally. When you decide how you want to feel, the right choices become clear.
Question it All
What emotions are you currently feeling most often?
How do you actually want to feel every day?
What actions, habits, or choices can you release that no longer align with your desired emotions?
Your emotions create your vibration. Your vibration creates your reality.
So today, make the choice:
Feel It. Act From It.
