3 Common Manifesting Mistakes (And How To Fix Them)
In true British style, TEA is the answer!

Have you ever been in that manifesting cycle where you’re doing all the things—journalling, affirmations, mental rehearsal, etc—but it Just. Isn’t. Happening?
I certainly have.
So, you think “if I do this thing as well” then it’ll happen. You end up stressing yourself out cos you think you’re not being consistent enough, or maybe you aren’t trying hard enough.
And then you get desperate, you start needing it to happen. Before giving up and declaring that it’s all bullshit and it doesn’t work.
Yep. I know that feeling too.
Then I sorted my TEA out and everything changed.
TEA is always the solution.
Successful manifesting only happens when you’re totally aligned on all three planes of existence: mental, emotional and physical.
If even one is out of whack, it’s like trying to bake a cake with eggs and sugar but no flour. Or flour and sugar but no eggs.
It’s just gonna be a sticky mess.
But if you make your TEA (your Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions) line up you’ll never make these three common manifesting mistakes again.
And colour is all you need to help you course-correct like a boss.
Mistake #1: Your Thoughts and Subconscious Beliefs Don’t Match
You’re saying the affirmations, thinking all the positive thoughts, writing down what you want... but deep down you don’t really believe what you’re saying or that you’re worthy of your desires.
Why it’s a problem:
Your subconscious runs the show—like 95% of it. So if you’re saying "I'm rich" but your subconscious believes "Money makes you a bad person," guess who’s winning?
How colour can fix it:
Our psychological colour associations can identify unconscious beliefs. Think about your relationship to different colours—which ones you like and which ones you don’t—and see if there are any specific reasons why.
From there you can begin to reprogam your subconscious thoughts and beliefs.
Mistake #2: You’re "Manic-festing"
‘Manic-festing’ is what I call the desperate, frantic energy of "I MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW!”
It’s when you’re trying too hard, forcing, pushing, hustling. And it’s really not cool.
Why it’s a problem:
You don’t manifest what you want, you manifest what you are. The Universe only understands energy. So when you’re trying to manifest from fear, lack, desperation or panic, you're basically broadcasting “I don’t have it”.
All the livelong day.
And the Universe can only give you more of what you’ve already got.
How colour can fix it:
It is impossible to manifest from a place of stress. Use colour to first regulate your nervous system and bring you back to a place of peace and trust. Surround yourself with soft pastel tints or soothing muted tones.
Then you can begin to intentionally select different hues to align and amplify your emotions according to your desires. The stronger the emotion the more your energetic field will expand and you’ll begin to attract instead of having to chase.
Mistake #3: You’re Not Taking the Right Action
You can do all the rituals under the sun, and countless other things to try and make shit happen. But without proper aligned action your dreams will remain just that.
Why it’s a problem:
Manifesting ain’t just about sitting around and thinking it into existence. It’s a three-step process: think it, feel it, do it.
That means showing up and taking right action. But the good news is that if you’ve done steps 1 & 2, opportunities will start showing up synchronistically.
How colour can fix it:
We’ve all had those days where we just can’t be arsed. Or in contrast, days where we just need to calm TF down.
Engaging with colour can shift you into the right energetic state which will allow you to do what you gotta do.
Fade to black…
Manifesting isn’t just lighting some incense and thinking about stuff. (As lovely as that is.)
To get results you must shift into a place of alignment on all three levels: mental, emotional and physical.
I’ve distilled my learnings into The EM Method—a simple 3-step process that will show you how to use colour to be your manifestation before it exists (trippy, I know).
