1. Step One: STOP TRYING TO BE CALM

Calm is optional.

Stillness is optional.

Meditation is optional.

Inner peace is a scam invented by monks who did not have Instagram.

You do NOT need to:

  • quiet your mind

  • regulate your breathing

  • pretend to be a serene fern in a sunlit forest

  • have a tidy desk

  • or β€œbe high-vibe” (ew)

All you actually need is:

βœ” a brain

βœ” a desire

βœ” and the ability to imagine sh*t for 10 seconds

That is it.

Congratulations. You meet all requirements.

2. Step Two: Choose a State, Not a Slogan

Affirmations like β€œI am wealthy” do not work if your soul responds:
β€œhaha how? with WHAT money??”

Instead, ask: β€œWho is the version of me who already has this?”

This is the state. You do not need to feel calm or positive.

You only need to feel like THAT version of you for a moment.

Manifestation happens at the identity level,

not the β€œI read my affirmations on a Pinterest board” level.

3. Step Three: Your Subconscious Believes Vibes, Not Logic

Your conscious mind: β€œWe need a plan. We need a HOW.”

Your subconscious:

β€œhaha no thanks. Just tell me how to FEEL and I will handle the details.”

It responds to:

  • sensation

  • imagination

  • tone

  • mood

  • tiny moments of β€œokay, I can pretend this is real”

It does not respond to:

  • spreadsheets

  • overthinking

  • fear of failure

  • screaming affirmations in the mirror like a Victorian ghost (unless we are summoning Bloody Mary)

You do not need calm. You need commitment to the feeling of DONE. Even for 10 seconds.

That is enough.

4. Step Four: The 10-Second Rule

People with zero chill CANNOT hold a visualisation for 45 minutes. We lose the plot within 14 seconds. We start thinking about dinosaurs, cats, rocks or snacks. Neville did not need long sessions. He was not the messiah Reddit makes him out to be. He needed intensity and clarity.

So use the 10-Second Reality Drop:

  1. Close your eyes

  2. Imagine ONE tiny moment from the fulfilled state

    • Someone saying β€œCongratulations!”

    • You unlocking your new door

    • Your phone buzzing with good news

    • You wearing a ring

    • You collapsing on your new couch

  3. FEEL that version of you for literally a few seconds

  4. Then go back to being chaotic

This imprints faster than forcing yourself to be calm.

5. Step Five: Detachment For People Who Cannot Detach

You cannot β€œlet go” the way spiritual influencers tell you to. You will obsess, spiral and mentally pace like an over-caffeinated crow (sorry, Jonas).

So use Chaotic Detachmentβ„’:

  • Let yourself think about it

  • BUT only from the assumed state

Example:

NOT β€œWhen will it come?” BUT β€œIt is gonna be so funny when it shows up.”

Same obsession, but from a new timeline.

6. Step Six: Ignore 3D Like a Villain

Your current reality? Old news. A rerun. Not even the season finale β€” more like a filler episode (like when Sam and Dean were in the sitcoms?). When something contradicts your desire?

Say:

β€œMust be the writers’ strike. Does not matter.” and continue vibing as the fulfilled version of yourself.

This is not denial. This is authorship.

7. Step Seven: You Do not Manifest Through Perfection β€” You Manifest Through Identity

You can:

  • be messy

  • be emotional

  • cry in the shower

  • overthink

  • dissociate

  • accidentally threaten strangers

  • eat cold green beans for dinner

  • have zero chill

and STILL manifest results that make monks jealous (I do not know what my monk deal is today…).

Because manifestation is not a mood. It is a decision + assumption.

8. Step Eight: If You Break the State, Do not Start Over

This is HUGE. Freak out? Break down? Have doubts? Have anxiety? Have a full Shakespearean meltdown because someone misread your text (remember your Retrogrades, darlings)? It does. Not. Matter. A state is returned to, not achieved once and guarded like a dragon hoard.

Just step back into the identity again when you remember. That is all.

9. Step Nine: The β€œDelusional But Hot” Method

Adopt the vibe of: β€œObviously it is happening. I am ME.” Confidence with no evidence. Arrogance with no receipts. Self-belief with no spreadsheet. This works shockingly well (and feels awesome), especially for fire signs and people who are tired.

10. Step Ten: Let Your Subconscious Cook

Once the state is impressed, you do not need to check up on it. Do not refresh the page. Do not look for a tracking number, k?

Your subconscious rearranges:

  • people

  • opportunities

  • coincidences

  • impulses

  • timing

  • your own behaviour

You do not need to be calm. But you do need to stop interfering. Let the chef do her job. She is an excellent cook and works better without you bother her. Now get out of the kitchen and clean your room.

Or play Stardew Valley. Say hi to Sam for me.
