Lanie Stevens "Empowering Women" - http://laniestevens.com / How To Keep A Strong Belief Without External Proof

I love this forum, and I'm slightly new to LOA and PW. A friend recommended it to me in January after my breakup (in Dec, we'd been dating for a year and a half). I know my ex freaked out (I had moved to NY to be with him, and there was a lot of pressure around it, figuring out his life), but that he still loved me at the time of the breakup. I moved back to LA and started doing PW. We have had no contact since Dec 13th, and it's been a long and painful journey to stay positive and keep my belief strong.

My question is- do you have techniques for keeping strong and practicing PW when you don't see proof? It's been a while, and I know he's thinking about me, but it would be so so great for him to reach out because often I combat loneliness and worry on the journey to getting the results that I want.

Thanks everybody!

I loved when we were friends on social media because whenever I would make live videos or make the stories, it would show me that he had viewed it. For me, that was confirmation that it was working and that he was thinking of me. But, then came the day when he unfriended me. Uh oh. I was crushed at the time but then I learned that similar things had happened to others here and other forums. A good starting point for you is to poke around, read other people's journey's and realize that this works. The stronger your faith in it is, the less you'll require signs or confirmation. At the same time, the stronger your faith is - the sooner you should see results.

Also, make a new friend or connect with current ones! Take up a hobby. You could be thinking "a hobby" but when I was at my lowest I started to garden. It was something for me to look forward to, something to enjoy and before I knew it I wasn't lonely at all because I was able to see that I didn't need anyone to combat it. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to chat.

I kinda have to believe in LoA.
I've manifested both winning in the lottery (even though it was a small, but I asked for winning. Big or small, wouldn't matter) and I've gotten a raise on my job, so I now make more money than some of the ones who had been working there longer. I didn't ask for a high raise. Just a small one, as a test.
Maybe it's because I didn't give it much thought and just let it go after I've asked for it.
But when it comes manifesting my girlfriend, it's another story.
I belive I can do it, but when I don't see any proof, doubts creeps in. And I really want these doubts to stay away.
What can I do keep them away?
