5 Quotes on How We “Manifest Our Reality” in Relationships
Your perception of other people can change them
“Manifesting your reality” is now mostly seen as a wishy-washy concept propelled by New Age culture. I get it.
For a long time, that’s how I thought of it, too. I went through phases: blindly believing in it, then questioning it, then resenting the gurus who pedaled the idea that everything you experience is ultimately your responsibility. If you don’t have the life you want, well — just manifest a better reality for yourself, won’t you?
Of course, this approach ignores the many variables that impact your ability to “manifest.” The socioeconomic privilege is the main one.
However… the notion that “we create our own reality” has validity — especially in relationships.
The level of awareness we bring into our interactions. The amount of care. The attitude, beliefs and assumptions about the other person. All these produce communication cues that impact how the other person responds. Ultimately, they shape your relationships!
This isn’t just my experience or belief. It’s a notion that’s well-documented by psychologists, social scientists, and coaches.
