Back in January, I decided to do a fun little experiment to manifest unexpected money, but consistently.

I’ve been very successful at manifesting money through my business and I make a six figure income each year. I really don’t have to try very hard at this point in manifesting money through my business. However, I hadn’t really spent a whole lot of time on seeing money coming through different sources outside of my business. I hadn’t worked on money coming through unexpected sources. And so I really wanted to start building a new self concept around that and just have fun with it.

And if I’m being completely honest, being able to work on this in a fun lighthearted way is a lot easier when you have consistent money coming in. When you don’t, then it can get a little bit tricky. It’s not impossible. It just depends on your desire for it and your discipline. In your persistence of what you want.

We’ve talked a lot about manifest money through your business in the previous weeks. And if you want to listen to more episodes specifically on the topic of manifesting money through your business, check out these episodes:

But I haven’t talked a lot about unexpected money.

So like I said, I began in January and within the first couple of days of beginning this challenge, this experiment, I started manifesting money in totally unexpected ways.

At first, it was things like vouchers or fee waivers, refunds, even points to spend that I didn’t know that I had, I even found money on the street.

I was heading to a local event with my mom and I realized I forgot my wallet. I literally said out loud, “Oh my gosh, I forgot my wallet.” And just as I said that and realized that I looked down and there’s just a perfect t$20 dollar bill just sitting on this hedge waiting for me.

But as I have persisted in this of receiving unexpected money, I’ve also noticed that sale items of things I’m selling on marketplace are selling for the exact amount I want, which is kind of unheard of. I also received $5 thousand dollars randomly through a relative out of the blue. I noticed that my investment returns suddenly started doubling.

And then, of course, as you know in my episode on My 2-Week Experiment in Manifesting Magnetism that random Sun article was written about me and my business. It brought me a ton of traffic and a ton of sales. Which is always very very lovely and very exciting to receive.

But this has been my experience since I started creating this new state, this new self concept of being someone who receives unexpected money. And there’s only really two things that I have been doing in order to manifest this.

Step 1: SATS: State Akin to Sleep

This is when you imagine a scene of what you want occurring, what you want actually happening, or that you have it now. Because it was unexpected money, I decided to go a bit abstract and see money coming at me physically coming at me from every direction. Just piling up all around me, almost as if it was like flooding my home, but instead of water, it’s money.

I didn’t do it every night. I wasn’t extremely regimented about it because it was really easy to get in the end stay anyway because I was being light hearted with it. So when I did remember to do it as I was falling asleep, I would imagine just money pouring into my house, pouring into piles in front of me, flooding my home.

Step 2: A Strict Mental Diet

With this, because I was light, it was very easy to flip any thoughts that were going in the opposite direction of what I wanted. And so what I mean about a strict mental diet is I kept all thoughts regarding unexpected money on the new outcome that I wanted to experience.

In the past, I didn’t really think about unexpected money. Maybe I thought about it in a sense of, like, that would be nice one day, but I didn’t change my say. I didn’t change my self concept. I chose to not change the story at all or see myself with unexpected money. And so it never manifested. I poured most of my energy into my business because that’s where I wanted to see money coming through. And that’s how I wanted to experience money for a very, very long time. It’s still how I want to experience money, but you know when something is now a standard for you, it’s not something you have to try to manifest or try to create or try to do because it’s now your norm. So I don’t really have to focus on that for business unless I want to achieve a different goal or increase my income level.

But with unexpected money, it was new territory. So I had to start seeing myself with having the money and keeping all my thoughts on the topic of having it now, of receiving it, of knowing that I now receive unexpected money all the time.

And so something I would always say to myself is just like a quick affirmation is:

Money is coming at me from every direction.

It was the only affirmation that I was saying because it would help shift me into that end state, the feeling of the wish fulfilled, into seeing that money all around me, into feeling like, I was always receiving unexpected money. This was now my reality. It was now my norm. I don’t just receive money through my business. I now receive it unexpectedly.

So if you are wanting to manifest unexpected money or you’re wanting to build up a new self concept about seeing another way that money can come to you, I highly recommend trying this out. Do it as an experiment, become like me and experiment with everything, become a scientist in your little manifestation lab and see how it goes for you, see what works for you. Be light with it. Be fun with it.

Bonus Tip: I recommend documenting everything that manifests. It can be so easy to forget. It can be so easy to take things for granted or to see things as a fluke, see things as a coincidence. But if you create a document, whether it’s on your phone, like in the notes app, and you actually make a note of everything that has manifested, all the money that has manifested and how it’s come to you, you start to see that there is nothing coincidental about this. There is nothing flukey about this. This is you with literal proof and evidence that you are a conscious creator. You are a deliberate creator. You are the creator of your reality, and it is changing. It is morphing before your eyes.

To Conclude:

No matter what it is you’re working on, no matter what it is you are trying to manifest. Persisting in the outcome you want to have is the k. Persisting in the outcome. Right? You have moved yourself into the end result. You’re not still sitting at the start line wanting this result. You’re not in the middle of the race. Trying to get this result, you are already in the end with the result.
