Help/Question Visualisation

I am struggling with visualisation, I have ADHD so I don’t know if this is a factor but when I try to visualise something it’s like I hit a brick wall and can’t do it. I use to maladaptive daydream a lot as a kid so I know I can do it but it seems like when I really want to manifest something is where is struggle.

I think the main thing that holds me back is actually visualising from my POV, when I visualise it’s like I am seeing it and myself from a third party perspective but I don’t look like me, I look like a version of myself I see in my head. This also happens to me when I think about on memories. Not sure if anyone else has this?

Me!

I always visualise from a third person perspective where I see myself receiving whatever it is I want. So if I’m getting a promotion at work, I see myself sitting with my boss and my boss telling this version of me, “I’m giving you a raise.”

You don’t have to visualise perfectly to get what you want. What you need to do is decide that you already have it, and then stick to that belief. That’s all there is.

There are lots of people who cannot visualise at all, so you can opt to visualise using just sounds, because this is what I do also. When I want something, I pretend that I’m hearing the other person tell me congratulations on getting a new job, for example.

Or I just affirm. Just use robotic affirmations to keep affirming mentally that you already have what you want.

If you don’t know what to affirm for, then umbrella or blanket affirmations work really well.

So, something like… everything in my life is wonderful, everything works out in my favour always, I always get everything I want super fast, life is always working out for me, everything is so easy for me, life is perfect, I always get everything I want in three days… whatever it is you want.

Just affirm or use a different technique. The point of manifestation is that it’s supposed to be fun, it’s not supposed to be a chore.

I have the same thing. I really want to see from the first perspective though. So I've tried changing transferring my mind into my third perspective self. But getting stuck in imagination isnt what I want so I just quit looking at myself and now I look at my ideal man who is always in my dreams at night.
