Understanding Fear in Manifesting
Why does fear show up? Fear is a natural response from your subconscious mind, designed to keep you safe. When you try to manifest something new—whether it’s more money, a dream career, or a relationship—your subconscious often triggers fear because it views change as a threat.
Here’s why fear can show up during manifesting:
- Uncertainty: Your mind loves predictability, and manifesting requires trust in the unknown.
- Limiting Beliefs: Deep-seated beliefs from childhood or past experiences can trigger fear when you try to change.
- Past Failures: If you’ve tried and failed before, your brain might replay those experiences to keep you from “failing” again.
But here’s the secret: Fear is just information. Instead of resisting it, you can use it as a guide to uncover hidden limiting beliefs and shift your mindset.

Example Scenario
Imagine you’re manifesting financial abundance, but every time you think about money, you feel anxious. That fear might be pointing to a limiting belief like “Money is hard to earn” or “I’m not responsible enough to handle wealth.” By identifying and addressing these fears, you can shift your energy and open yourself up to receiving abundance.
How Fear Holds You Back
The biggest issue with fear isn’t fear itself—it’s resisting fear. When you fight against fear, it turns into anxiety, doubt, and stagnation. Fear can cause:
- Overthinking and second-guessing
- Procrastination and avoidance
- Negative thought spirals
For example, if you’re manifesting love but you constantly worry about getting hurt, that fear creates an energetic block. Instead of allowing love to flow in, your subconscious is trying to protect you by keeping you in your comfort zone—even if that means staying single.
The mind loves fear. Your ego (the part of your mind that wants to keep you separate) thrives on fear because this is how it maintains control. The more you focus on fearful thoughts, the stronger they become. As one negative thought shows up, more follow—just like a domino effect. But the truth is: The past does not create your future. You do, in this moment.
How to Let Go of Fear in Manifesting
Now that we understand how fear operates, let’s dive into practical steps to release it and realign with your manifestations.
1. Feel the Fear and Let It Pass
Instead of suppressing fear, allow yourself to fully feel it. Fear is energy, and when you stop resisting it, it moves through you and dissolves. Try this:
- Imagine the fear dissolving like a cloud passing in the sky.
- Close your eyes and locate where the fear shows up in your body (chest, stomach, shoulders, etc.).
- Breathe deeply and focus on the sensation without judgement.

2. Question Your Fearful Thoughts
Your fears are often based on assumptions rather than truth. Ask yourself:
- Is this fear based on actual facts or just an old belief?
- Has this fear ever come true in the past?
- If the worst happens, will I still be okay?
Most of the time, you’ll realise that fear is just a mental story—not reality.
3. Shift Your Focus to the Present Moment
Fear thrives on past regrets or future worries. The fastest way to neutralise fear is by grounding yourself in the NOW. Try:
- Repeating affirmations like “I am safe in this moment.”
- Breathing exercises (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4).
- Focusing on your senses—what you see, hear, feel. Ground yourself in your I AM, the awareness of being by repeating: I am, I am, feelingly.
4. Use Journaling to Reframe Fear
Journaling helps uncover subconscious fears and shift your mindset. Write down:
- What am I trying to manifest?
- What fears or doubts do I have about it?
- What is the evidence that I CAN achieve it?
Seeing your fears on paper makes them less overwhelming and easier to challenge.
5. Strengthen Self-Trust
Manifesting requires trust—in yourself, the process, and the universe. Build self-trust by:
- Keeping promises to yourself (even small ones, like waking up at the same time daily).
- Taking small, aligned actions toward your goal.
- Celebrating past manifestations that did work out!
The more you trust yourself, the less fear will control your manifestations.
Conclusion
Fear doesn’t have to block your manifestations—it can actually be a stepping stone to deeper self-awareness and alignment. When you stop resisting fear and start working with it, you unlock a whole new level of manifesting power.
Remember:
- Fear is just information; use it to uncover limiting beliefs.
- Resistance creates stagnation—allow fear to move through you instead.
- Small daily actions build self-trust and dissolve fear over time.
