Page 20 of Alice Carver Manifests Her Perfect Life
I’ve spent the last twenty minutes or so watching Tammy from Wisconsin, who has a massive 2.5 million followers on TikTok, and although I originally mostly wanted this journal for the photos, I am increasingly inspired by this whole manifesting thing. Tammy manifested herself nice fingernails – you should see the transformation from those fungally little stumps she used to have –anda new car, which is unbelievable, but she swears it’s true and she’s been on theMorning Showand they fact-check everything, just by using the 3-6-9 method.
The more I research manifesting, the more I’m wondering why everyone isn’t at it. You literally ask for stuff and you get it. I’m almost scared to start in case I’m the only one it doesn’t work for, but Tammy from Wisconsin says that’s just self-blocking. She was told by one nail technologist that she would never, ever have nice natural nails because the fungus was in the nail beds, and Tammy hit a proper low after that. Apparently she felt like ending it all. Then a friend who’d manifested her cheating husband’s death (sounds like a basic case of murder to me) told her about the 3-6-9 method and Tammy’s never looked back.
So I’m manifesting and I’m manifesting big.
But first of all I’m going to start small, with my social media output. I may as well be an influencer. Okay, it didn’t go great the other night with that viral video – I deleted it before anyonecould twig it was me, let alone follow me – but I’ve learnt my lesson: don’t freestyle. And choose good lighting. And don’t be drunk. Charlotte clearly spends ages curating her videos. It’s not like 10k followers is that many, but apparently she gets free juice cards from her GlowCycle gym on the back of that, plus she snared Guy Carmichael.
But I could do with a break already.
Because TikTok is flooded with people opening things left, right and centre and the biggest trend of all? Christmas morning (they’re all in pyjamas) unboxing ofThe Guide. Why hadn’t I got Aziz to film me when I opened mine earlier? That would have showed Charlotte.
I am letting go of:
Those pictures of Tammy’s nails. Well, I’m trying to.
That viral video of mine – it’s gone.

Is it an obstacle?
Or is it an opportunity?
Look beyond the obvious and you’ll soon see the Universe is giving you an opening…

My thoughts and reflections:
Just realised I can turn an obstacle into an opportunity! Will get Aziz to film metomorrowunboxing my journal! This means I can actually make the video way better – do hair, make-up, borrow nice pyjamas, etc. – and wrap the journal nicely (unlike Mum’s economical efforts). Plus, I’ve now had the advantage of seeing which unboxing clips are the most popular (the ones with the super-attractive backgrounds / settings, and where they say, ‘Oh my god – it works – I manifestedThe Guide!’ #manifest #guidedmanifestation #dreamlife) which means I have a better chance of social media success.
My intention is:
To get up super early – have set alarm for 7.30 – and enlist Aziz’s help. Need to get it done before ML arrives.

My thoughts and reflections:
It’s really quite marvellous how once you start seeing obstacles as opportunities, doors start opening. Literally. I just heard a scratching and mewing at the door and it pushed open and in came Mitzy. Mitzy’s rarely shown me any affection, in fact normally she leaves a room if I’m there, but tonight she came straight in and started winding round my legs. She would never have come into myactualbedroom. She spent ages sniffing near the pipes and clawing the rug and now she’s purring contentedly on the bottom of the camp bed, an embodiment of positive energy, and I’m starting to think the Universe is sending me a message. Mitzy may be old, way older than me if you calculate in cat years, but she’s not worrying about how she looks or the fact she’s single and the vet trashed her ovaries. Mitzy is a whole, confident cat who knows that she is enough as she is. I saw a clip from Oprah about how we can learn from the animal world, and tap into the animal within ourselves, and for the first time, I really get what that means.
I feel at one with Mitzy, my wonderful family and (even though I’m in the garage) my home – The Cotswolds – where I was born and raised.
I am grateful for:
Mitzy for teaching me. Here she is, purring, turning around occasionally and pawing the duvet, trusting in the Universe.

My thoughts and reflections:
If Mum knew that Mitzy was incontinent, you think she’d have mentioned it. And if she usually keeps the litter tray in the garage, you think she’d have mentioned that! And if Mitzy clawing and turning round was such a bloody obvious sign of imminent shitting, you’d think Mum could have maybe, just maybe told me.
I can’t believe I’m stuck here, in a room where the only window is painted shut, and which now smells of cat shit. It’s hardly Cotswolds living.
Also I’m worried about this 3-6-9 manifestation thing as not sure how it works, and how quickly you can trigger it. Tammy on TikTok says you just have to repeat out loud what you’re manifesting – and I’m pretty sure I whispered to myself that I should be more like Mitzy a number of times. To be clear, I really don’t want to manifest incontinence like Mitzy the cat. At all.
In one word:
