Feeling In Between Worlds? Why This Phase Isn’t a Setback (And How It Helps You Become Magnetic)
There are moments in life where something feels off, but not in an obvious way.
You’re still functioning. Still showing up.
But internally, something has shifted.
The way you used to live, think, and identify yourself no longer fits, yet the next version of you hasn’t fully arrived either. This is the space I often describe as the waiting room phase, a powerful, misunderstood part of growth that many people experience but rarely understand.
If you’ve found yourself here, you’re not failing. You’re not going backwards. You’re in a process.
The In-Between Phase and Manifestation Blocks
One of the biggest misconceptions around manifestation is the idea that clarity, confidence, and momentum must always be present.
In reality, some of the deepest shifts happen in quieter, less defined spaces.
This in-between phase often appears after emotional healing, identity shifts, or deep inner work. Old ways of being dissolve, but new internal structures haven’t fully formed yet. When this phase isn’t understood, it’s easy to label it as being stuck or out of alignment.
This is where manifestation blocks can seem to appear, not because you’re doing something wrong, but because your system is recalibrating.
Trying to force outcomes during this phase often activates fear-based responses rather than alignment.
Why Fear Patterns Surface During Transition
Many people trying to overcome fear patterns believe they need to push through them, reframe faster, or “get back into alignment.”
But fear doesn’t dissolve through force.
Fear often arises because the identity you used to feel safe in is no longer available, and the new one hasn’t landed yet. There’s no clear place to stand.
That doesn’t mean you’re blocked.
It means something old is completing.
When you allow this phase instead of resisting it, fear begins to soften naturally, and your energy starts to settle.
How to Become Magnetic Without Forcing Change
People often ask me how to become magnetic, expecting a formula or technique.
Magnetism isn’t created by effort.
It’s created by congruence.
When you stop forcing clarity and allow integration, your nervous system recalibrates, your boundaries strengthen, and your choices become cleaner. Without trying, you begin to attract experiences that genuinely match who you’re becoming.
This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the laws of attraction, including teachings popularised through the secret law of attraction. Manifestation isn’t about bypassing discomfort. It’s about moving through it consciously.
The waiting room phase isn’t a delay.
It’s preparation.
Why Mindset Work Alone Can Feel Limiting
As a mindset coach, I often work with people who understand their thoughts, beliefs, and patterns. They’ve done the journaling, the affirmations, the courses.
Yet, something still feels unresolved.
That’s because true mindset coaching goes beyond the mind. It includes the body, the nervous system, emotional integration, and timing. Especially during transitional phases, trying to “think your way out” can keep you looping.
This is where grounded, embodied support makes the difference.
A More Honest Conversation About Manifestation
Working in manifesting coaching UK, I see a growing number of people who are deeply self-aware and spiritually grounded, yet exhausted from surface-level advice.
They don’t need more techniques.
They need understanding.
Even among the top manifestation coaches, this in-between phase isn’t always spoken about openly, despite how common and important it is.
Whether you’re working with a certified law of attraction life coach, or navigating your own inner work, this phase deserves respect rather than resistance.
You’re Not Stuck. You’re Integrating.
The waiting room phase is where:
Old identities fall away
Fear patterns surface so they can be released
Your nervous system recalibrates
Space is created for what’s next
This isn’t stagnation.
It’s consolidation.
When you understand that, the pressure lifts.
You stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
Start recognising, “I’m in transition.”
