A few years ago, I manifested one of my biggest True Desires – she was a DREAM client 🎉

She was kind, extraordinarily talented, and someone whose work I had admired from afar for years.

When we finally spoke, she said YES to the highest fees I had ever charged without so much as a pause!

Our first campaign together broke records. She ended up paying me a bonus and extending my contract. By every measure, this was everything I had asked for and more!

But despite all of that success, every single month when her payment hit my bank account, I still braced for impact 😬

My Inner Mean Girl voice showed up like clockwork, “Sure, she’s happy now. But you’ll screw up next month and she’s going to fire you! It’s only a matter of time.”

I spent those early months in a low hum of vigilance, scrutinizing every deliverable and reading into every email she sent, looking for the first sign that the good thing I’d manifested was about to collapse.

This is what I’ve started calling “Too Good to Be True” syndrome.

You’ve manifested something amazing and instead of relaxing into it, you’re watching it like it might disappear at any second.

If you’ve ever been there, I want you to know there’s a name for what’s happening and it comes from Physics (I shared this on Instagram – come find me @manifestwithshantinirajah).

So in Quantum Physics, there’s a concept called the Quantum Zeno Effect.

When scientists frequently observe and measure a quantum system, the system freezes. It stops evolving.

The act of watching holds it in its current state… unable to flow into what it’s trying to become.

I have a degree in Physics, and when I first connected this to manifesting, it explained so much.

“Too good to be true” syndrome is the Quantum Zeno Effect in action.

Your attention is locked onto the good thing that you want… checking, scanning for the first sign that something’s about to go wrong.
That anxious observation is holding the very thing you worked so hard to manifest in a frozen, precarious state. You’re in the process of receiving it… and then you froze it.

Here’s what I want you to take from this: the Quantum Zeno Effect shows you exactly what NOT to do if you want that manifested reality to become your new normal.

What you do need to do is stop watching it – let  yourself go for hours, maybe even days, without checking to see if it’s arrived yet.

That’s when that beautiful, good thing starts feeling less like something you’re waiting to lose and becomes something that’s fully yours (because it IS!)

You don’t have to white-knuckle it into trust (thank goodness!) s😅

All you need to do is notice the watching, and mindfully choose to look away… even briefly.
That’s enough to start the release 😍
