So you want to start manifesting.

Maybe you want to attract a new car, a new job, or perhaps you just want to attract more money.

All of these are great reasons to start manifesting.

But you’re a bit worried.

With the new car, new job, or money you are attracting, are there any negative side effects that can come from manifestation?

Can manifesting backfire?

Yes, manifesting can backfire.

The main thing that can cause a manifestation to backfire is if your thoughts are negative.

Manifesting works by focusing your thoughts on what you want to attract.

So, if your thoughts are negative, then there is a good chance you will manifest more of that negativity into your life.

This is when the manifestation will backfire.

For example, let’s say you’re trying to manifest a new job, but feelings of doubt and thoughts of “I don’t deserve this” flash into your mind.

What you are doing is focusing on the lack of the job rather than on what you want to attract.

This type of thinking will only attract more lack, and you likely will not be able to manifest the job you want.

3 things that can cause manifesting to backfire

1. Not being clear on what you want

Being clear about what you want to manifest is very important.

When you’re unclear or uncertain about what you want, you may end up attracting something that you didn’t want.

For example, you might want to manifest a romantic relationship into your life, but you don’t know what kind of person you want to attract.

You may end up attracting someone that isn’t really what you want, which can lead to heartbreak and disappointment.

To avoid this backfire, make sure you’re clear about your manifestation.

Always be specific and add as much detail as possible.

2. Trying to manifest harm

This is a big no-no.

If you try to manifest something that will harm another person, your manifestation may backfire, and you will end up attracting that negative energy into your life.

This is because the Universe acts as a mirror, so what you send out is what you will receive.

So if your thoughts are negative or if you try to hurt someone else, you are likely to receive similar negative energy.

You definitely want to avoid this, so always keep your manifestation pure and filled with positivity.

3. Having a negative mindset

As mentioned above, if your thoughts are negative, then there is a good chance of negativity manifesting into your life.

While it’s okay to have negative thoughts, you definitely don’t want to dwell on them.

You always want to keep your mindset as positive as possible and focus on the abundance coming into your life.

If you find yourself doubting yourself or thinking that you don’t deserve what you’re trying to manifest, then that is a good sign your mindset needs some changing.

You can use positive affirmations to help change your mindset.

By thinking more positively, you will be able to manifest positive results.


Final thoughts

So, can manifesting backfire?

Yes, it definitely can.

The main thing that often causes a manifestation to backfire is if your thoughts are negative.

If you can keep your thoughts positive and focus on what you want to manifest, you will avoid the negativity and create the life you want.
