So you have to decide. Are you willing to invest into it? Are you willing to work on yourself for another 1 or 2 years until you have success? Don't have to be that long, but could. I can only speak for myself, but it took me nearly two years to figure out what really works and what is just crap and how the relationship between all of that is. You may be faster, you may be slower. This is just about more than getting an ex back. It's about getting to know yourself, finding out who you are and how life works. If that's something you are interersted in go ahead, if it's just for the ex I personally would drop it.

I want to jump in here because I came across someone recently who claims to have studied manifesting for years until they found out what seems to always work. They said you can have anything from a neutral feeling (feeling like it could happen, but not expecting it to) to total expectation that something will manifest, & it will as long as you stay in those feelings. But you can’t have doubt of any kind. The moment you slip into doubt about it or worse & stay there, that’s when it won’t manifest.

I have never heard it put this exact way before. Does this go along with what you have found works?

LOA is about mindset - it a combination of beliefs and expectations.

To say you won't manifest if you have doubt is false. Think that everyday we are manifesting - you have been using LOA your whole life - did everything you accomplish only every come about when you were neutral or fully expectant? I highly doubt it.

There is a difference in having doubts and being in a doubtful/fearful state. They are two different mindsets. A moment of doubt is not going to derail your manifestation. Success comes about despite doubts or fear, because a success mindset is able to see past them or understands that their desire is greater than their attention to doubts. I would say when your desire is greater than your fear or doubt - that's when the magic happens.

Sometimes people get stuck in a perpetual addictive loop of wanting but fearing, wanting but fearing. This is a poor state for manifesting because there is no real measure of the level of  desire. They become driven by the fear more than the desire.

Using LOA to get an ex back is a perfect example - many are being driven by fear, regret and disappointment. The desire isn't allowed to flourish because they don't focus on their desire from a place of expectancy (they may falsely declare that they expect it but at their core this is not true). That's why working on yourself is so important - because it allows you to tap into your true desires and then move forward.

My biggest manifestation last year - I achieved despite moments of doubt that would come up. In reflection and even in the midst of it I would say that the doubt may have made the manifestation take longer - but it didn't stop it from manifesting and that is simply because my faith was strong. As you practice more and consciously manifest more then you can dispel moments of doubt much quicker until it rarely occurs.
