08 Oct Manifesting When Life Feels Messy

When the world feels a little crazy and life gets messy, it’s easy to slip into fear and forget that you’re a powerful creator. Whether it’s global chaos, financial stress, or your own worries bubbling to the surface, your mind can quickly jump into survival mode and that’s exactly when manifesting feels hardest.

But here’s the truth: fear doesn’t move you forward. It keeps you looping in the same patterns. When you learn how to calm your nervous system and reconnect with trust, that’s when the magic starts to flow again.

The Power of Shifting from Fear to Trust

When everything feels uncertain, your brain’s natural instinct is to protect you. That fear response was designed to keep you safe, but in today’s world, it often does the opposite, it blocks the flow of abundance.

The more you focus on what’s wrong, the more energy you feed into it. But when you consciously shift your focus to trust, when you tell yourself “all is well” even before you believe it you change your energetic frequency. You start attracting calm, clarity, and opportunity instead of chaos and confusion.

The Law of Attraction works through vibration, and your emotions are the key. Fear lowers your vibration; trust raises it. So the question becomes: how quickly can you return to peace?

Louise Hay’s Timeless Wisdom

In honor of what would have been her 99th birthday today, there’s a woman whose work has transformed millions of lives… the incredible Louise Hay. She’s known as the Queen of Affirmations and often called the Mother of the Self-Help Movement and is the founder of Hay House publishing.

Decades before neuroscience confirmed the connection between mind and body, Louise was teaching that your thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. She believed self-love, forgiveness, and positive affirmations could heal not only your emotions but your physical body, your relationships, and your prosperity.

One of her favorite affirmations captures everything we’re talking about today:

“All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation, only good will come. I am safe.”

Simple, but deeply powerful.

Why This Affirmation Works (and the Science Behind It)

Louise recommended this affirmation whenever fear or uncertainty crept in. From a neuroscience perspective, repeating it interrupts the brain’s stress response and rewires your nervous system for safety.

When you say “I am safe,” you’re sending a direct message to your amygdala, (the part of your brain responsible for fear) to stand down. Your body stops bracing for danger, and you move from survival mode (the sympathetic nervous system) into rest and repair (the parasympathetic state).

In this calmer state, your brain becomes more creative, more intuitive, and more open to new solutions. You stop blocking your own flow and start aligning with the energy of ease, allowing abundance to come through in surprising ways.

A Story About Trusting the Universe

I’ll never forget the time I was $100,000 in debt on welfare and holding onto a dream. There was a block of land I loved, six minutes from the beach, high on Buderim Mountain, overlooking Mooloolaba and the beuatiful blue coastline all the way up to Noosa. It was breathtaking, and I desperately wanted it.

A huge lottery draw was coming up, so I took my kids to that block of land one warm night. The lights along the coast sparkled below, the stars shimmered above, and we lit a candle and I said an affirmation (can’t remember what it was now). I told them we were going to buy that land when we won.

Did I win? I’d love to say a big, fat, exciting YES. But in truth, it was a no.

BUT… that moment changed everything.

The energy I created, the excitement, the trust, the belief that something amazing was coming… sent a powerful signal into the quantum field. Within months, I came up with an idea for a course that went on to generate over two million dollars without any paid advertising.

I didn’t win the lottery, but I allowed the Universe to surprise me with something even better.

That’s the key to manifesting when life feels messy: you can have a vision, but you have to release control and stay open to however abundance wants to flow in.

Turning Chaos Into Creation

When you affirm “Out of this situation, only good will come,” you’re practicing energetic alchemy and turning fear into faith.

Every challenge, every delay, every detour is simply a stepping stone toward your desires. You’re teaching your subconscious mind to look for evidence that life is working out for you.

So when something goes wrong, instead of spiraling into worry, tell yourself, “The Universe has something better in store for me.” That mindset keeps your vibration high and your energy moving forward.

And when it all feels like too much? Remember one day this will be your before story. The chapter that makes your success story even more powerful, relatable, and inspiring to others.

The Manifesting Magic of Feeling Safe

When your nervous system is calm, manifesting becomes easier. You’re able to hold a clear vibration and direct your energy intentionally instead of reacting to fear.

Your thoughts send the order to the Universe, but your emotions are the magnet that pulls what you desire back to you. When you align both, clear thoughts and calm feelings, and combine with action… you become unstoppable.

That’s why Louise Hay’s affirmation is so powerful. It aligns your energy and your biology with peace, abundance, and trust. When your vibration rises, the Universe matches it with new opportunities, prosperity, and miracles.

Affirmations to Reconnect With Trust and Safety

Try repeating these affirmations whenever life feels uncertain:
• I trust that everything in my life is unfolding perfectly for my highest good.
• Every breath I take reminds my body and mind that I am safe.
• Even when I can’t see the full picture, I know things are working out beautifully for me.
• My nervous system is relaxed, my energy is open, and abundance flows easily.
• The Universe always has my back. I am guided, protected, and loved.
• I release resistance and return to the truth that all is well.

Let these words become your anchor. The calmer and more trusting you feel, the faster your desires align and manifest.

When Life Feels Messy, Remember This

The chaos isn’t here to stop you, it’s here to help you realign.

The moment you choose calm over fear, faith over control, and trust over worry, your energy begins to shift. That’s when the Universe can finally move again on your behalf.

So take a deep breath, remind yourself that all is well, and know that even this is working out for your highest good. You are safe, supported, and exactly where you need to be to manifest what’s next.
