This series is inspired by The Source by Dr. Tara Swart. Today, we’re diving into a critical but often ignored part of manifestation—patience.”

“This is where most people give up—and it’s also where the real transformation is starting.”

“You are always becoming what you believe—but change happens on the timeline of your nervous system, not your calendar.”

- Neural pathways are like trails in a forest. Your brain doesn’t instantly accept a new belief or identity—it needs repetition and evidence

- There is a myth of instant manifestation:

• You can shift your energy quickly.
• Manifestation is a process of neural reconditioning.

Why time is necessary?:

• We need to reinforce new habits
• To replace limiting beliefs
• To build confidence through small wins

Let’s look at some Emotional Triggers During the Waiting Period

- Doubt, fear, frustration, comparison, impatience.

• “Everyone else seems to be getting what they want. Why not me?”
• Start asking yourself why you are bothered by the process? Journal.

Next we have to acknowledge the brain's threat response:

• Just keep in mind, waiting activates your inner critic and fear center. Impatience triggers all the negative self speak.
• Your job: train your prefrontal cortex to stay the course. Get on it.

Three Tools to Build Patience

1. Future Journaling:

• Write daily from the mindset of your future self who has already achieved your desire.

2. Embodied Affirmations:

• Don’t just say it—walk, dance, breathe, move in the energy of the future you.

3. Progress Tracker:

• Record small wins. Evidence rewires the brain for belief. Maybe consider stickers on the calendar when you get something done.

Dr. Swart’s key idea:

• “Hope is not passive—it’s a practice.”

Trusting the Gestation Period – Patience is a virtue but sadly lacking in so much of our society.

• What if nothing is happening?
  
  • Often, things are rearranging behind the scenes.
• Here is the kicker: The energetic test:
  
  • The universe (or your subconscious) often tests your desire with a pause.

Spiritual-scientific bridge: It takes both physical solid scientifically proven techniques and a solid belief system.

- Spiritual: “Let go and trust.”

- Scientific: “Keep reinforcing the desired outcome so your RAS continues filtering for opportunity.” Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a network of neurons in the brainstem that plays a crucial role in regulating wakefulness, arousal, and attention. It acts as a filter for sensory information, deciding what is important enough to reach conscious awareness.

• Affirmations to use:
  
  • “I am becoming the person who naturally receives what I’ve asked for. And that takes time.”
• I am worthy of change and happiness
• I deserve good things
• Change is my right and my journey

Reflection:
- “What are you rushing that actually needs time to ripen? What could you give permission to unfold?”

Patience Practice Challenge:
- For the next 7 days, track where progress is happening.

- Write one affirmation daily.

Remember Just because it’s not here yet doesn’t mean it’s not on its way.

“Patience isn’t the absence of action—it’s the ability to keep acting with belief, even when the outcome hasn’t shown up yet.
