Does getting sick stop your manifesting?

No, it doesn’t.
The law of attraction is always working. It never stops, and that is a good thing. Especially when you are in a space in your life when you are actively leveraging it to manifest what you want.
There was a time when I was sick with covid for 6 weeks. I was very fortunate to never have needed hospitalization, but I was still miserable. 6 weeks was a long time to feel so deeply crappy. I was convinced that I couldn’t manifest what I wanted because I kept being sick. How could I manifest good things when I was feeling so crappy?
I spent a lot of the time I should’ve been resting spiraling in the “How do I manifest my way out of this?” headspace. I was asking my coach a lot of questions like “How do I stop this illness in me?” and “How can I get better?” “How can I be sure I’m manifesting my dreams when I feel this crappy?” These are all questions meaning “how do I fix this?”
When we are focused on the fixing of something, we are focused on something to fix. Remember, with LoA, what you focus on, you bring more of into your life. By focusing on something to fix, you are attracting more things that need to get fixed.
It wasn’t until my coach gave me this coaching, “Embrace it,” that I finally felt a shift.
Sounds totally counterintuitive with an illness, right? Why would I embrace this crappy ill feeling? Isn't that focusing on something I don't want more of?
Really, what she meant was “stop pushing to fix yourself.”
That was where I got my big ah-ha. I had been spending so much time focused on “how do I get better,” rather than “how can I feel better right now?” My job during this time was to feel better, not manifest my way out of it. Sure, if I look back, I did technically manifest my way out of it. But only because I finally let go of the idea that I had to micromanage my manifesting good health.
I set down the pushing to manifest health, and picked up healing. I chose to embrace my illness, and care for it. Rather than picturing a large monster I needed to shoo out of my house, I pictured my illness as a squalling baby in need of cuddling and affection. Would you know it? I finally started feeling better after only a few days of that.
Throughout all of this, I was still manifesting everything I needed. I was still getting better and better with my money, my relationships were blossoming, and I was experiencing fun things! Not until I look back now, I see how that period of illness taught me how to move through other illnesses going forward.
Now, when I get sick, I take care of myself without focusing on the “How do I get better?” There’s also big magic in turning your thoughts to something else when you start to wonder if being sick is stopping you from manifesting what you want.
Trust the work you’ve put in leading up to this point. Trust that you’ve started the ball rolling, it’ll keep rolling, no matter what. Check out this podcast episode where I go into detail about my journey through illness and trusting my manifesting throughout it.
