Improving Self Concept - Blog Posts
Loving Yourself in manifestation
(adorable banner art by Nekosuke)
I, like most law of assumption content creators, preach self concept. I’ve talked in a previous post about what self concept is and little ways you can incorporate it into your daily life but today i want to emphasize the inner love and respect for yourself that manifestation both uses and heightens. (This is a bit of a ramble be aware)
in brief, since i have talked about it before, your dominant thoughts about yourself, what you are capable and deserving of, and how you see yourself in relation to others (all your self concept) reflect into the world around you (the 3D). Most of you should be familiar with this sentiment, it is a large part of LOA(ss) after all :3
This does not mean however, which the law of attraction community often misconstrue, that you have to feel good and amazing all the time. You do not have to be a ray of sunshine to manifest anything. You are allowed to have bad days, you are allowed to feel upset. The important part is that you KNOW you are a person worthy of respect, love and your desires.
something i love about law of assumption, is that many people come to this community and the law feeling lack - desperate for something or someone and believing they need it or them to be worthy, happy or even just okay. But with doing the techniques and really learning of the law, they create a good self concept and they realise their own worth and value.
Something i love about the law is the inner transformation you go through. Most people come to the law in a state of lack as they are desperate for someone or something and - though they may not realise it - believe this thing or person will make them worthy, happy or have value. Once they are introduced to self concept and really start applying it though, it really changes all of this: this feeling of inner fulfilment, happiness and worthiness just for being you! This feeling of content and happiness just for being me is unmatched, truly.
No person or thing is going to give you value, the only meaning or value assigned to anything is that which you give to it. And the person who deserves to be assigned the most value is YOU babe.
The neural pathways that we have built over time are mostly reflections of our societies’/community’s/family’s norms. Most societies preach being humble, not being overly optimistic, always looking for worst case scenario. As we grow up these dominant, core thoughts become reflected back to us. But, as put by bashar, this makes us belief thief’s. it’s silly but i think it’s important to learn that you do not have to hold on to anyone else’s beliefs. That which does not serve you, bye bye!
Of course i like to be humble, but i think it’s often pushed way further than that to not even believe in your own inherent worth in fear of being selfish. i choose to believe in my power, my looks, my personality and my worthiness. I am fully aware that i can have bad days and that things go wrong - and even though i’m sure i could manifest even this away, i prefer to live my life and have my world like this - but i refuse to have a mindset that always assumes the worst. after all, our assumptions reflect back in the 3D. You deserve to assume that things always work out for you and as you assume it so it shall be :)
quick side note, two affirmations that have really helped me to unlearn assuming the worst:
- All is well, all will be well
- Everything is always working out for me, no matter how it looks at any given point in time.
Okay, having discussed the importance of self concept and identifying with assumptions and beliefs that serve you, back to the main point of this sort of appreciation post. Though your journey may start from a state of lack, the change in self concept brings not only your manifestations but also so much happiness and fulfilment. Now this is gonna sound silly to longer time loa lovers as of course the whole point is to embody the state of wish fulfilled, and that’s gonna make you feel good, but i feel like many new manifestors - at least definitely me when i started - don’t realise the true fulfilment and happiness within yourself that this journey will give you.
What at first seems like a chore and silly little affirmations to get a goal, becomes little smiles throughout the day when i remember how happy i am to be me.
it is the greatest reward.
love,

Self Concept in Daily Life
hi lovelies ✰
Today I wanna talk about little ways you can incorporate self concept into your daily life. But first…
What is self concept?
self concept is the concept you have of yourself (wow nice). It is essentially how you think of yourself, as well as yourself in relation to other people or things. It is a large part of manifestation as it explains who you are and what you think you are worthy of. Self concept is how you enter the state / embody the version of yourself that has whatever you desire.
Like you know the common phrase of having someone or something on a pedestal? you viewing something or someone as unattainable or too good for you like that is part of your self concept. In turn, putting yourself on the pedestal is also self concept - a good very good self concept! Since your subconscious/ dominant thoughts is what manifests self concept is pivotal to your manifestations, both in being able to manifest and maintain your manifestations.
For example if you believe you are a master manifester but also believe relationships never work out for you, you may be able to manifest your SP into your life and even a relationship, but struggle to maintain it/them. Now maintenance may sound scary and like a lot of work - it isn’t, it is just having the inner belief that you are worthy of whatever you want/ wish. Remember manifestation isn’t hard!!
Now that we know what self concept is, how can we work on it?
A large part of self concept is affirmations, perhaps listening to music that makes you feel like that bitch/ royalty. Just doing the things that make you feel good and reminding yourself that this is how you deserve to feel all the time.
When focusing on self concept in relation to specific manifestations it may help to do certain techniques to rewrite the neural pathways you have previously in your life created via thoughts and experiences that were negative - such as that relationships never work out for you, you need to work hard for money etc.
techniques such as robotic affirming, scripting, vision/mood boards, mirror work, sleep tapes, even drawing your manifestations etc…
remember, manifesting should not feel difficult or inconvenient, its about feeling good and worthy!
Self concept in daily life?
As someone who has suffered with depression for a long time, working on my self concept was hard but oh my god has it helped so much. One little way i helped my self concept without even realising it was in relation to chores - specifically cleaning. I came across a tiktok - not to do with manifestation at all - which explained that one way to help you do chores is to not look at them as annoying tasks that need to get done, but rather as sort of a gift to yourself. I know it sounds silly but listen:
I clean my room because i deserve to live in a clean environment.
I buy my groceries because i deserve to eat well.
I take care of my skin because i deserve to look good
Try some out on some things you “have to” do.
I worked with these as little affirmations (usually just the parts in pink), and it not only helped me do my chores but bettered my self concept. it was a start to understanding that i am worth good things and a good life.
And you are too.

So to conclude/TLDR:
the way you perceive yourself and what you are worthy is your self concept.
Your self concept is a large part of your dominant thoughts.
Dominant thoughts manifest in 3D.
You can change and improve your self concept with a variety of techniques, focusing on making you feel good and worthy, also using affirmations to rewire your dominant thoughts.
boom bam bingo my little star, now you know your wildest dreams aren’t wild at all. they are all yours with a snap of your fingers. Because you babe, are absolutely worth them.
mwah and feel free to ask me anything regarding manifestation <3
