What actually helped you manifest an SP?

There are so many SP manifestation techniques that I honestly think the amount of advice can make the whole thing harder. Some people swear by affirmations. Some visualize before sleep. Some say self-concept changed everything. Others say the biggest shift happened when they stopped trying so hard. If you’ve actually seen movement with a specific person, what made the biggest difference for you? I’m less interested in the perfect technique and more interested in what helped you feel genuinely different instead of just repeating words and waiting for proof.
