Manifestation: Day 1 - Where Do I Start?
Manifestation. Where do I start?
I used to think manifestation was some hocus pocus weird voodoo stuff. I had no idea what it really was or how to do it. But after watching “The Secret,” I started to dig a little deeper and this is what I found.
"Figure out what you want and learn how to ask for it."
-Quote from "How Do You Know"
1. Get clear on what you want.
I heard the above movie quote in 2010 after my divorce. I was a new single mom of four little kids. I had no idea what I wanted out of life because I was just trying to survive. I never forgot this quote but it took me a really long time to implement the idea fully into my life.
To manifest something, we have to know what we want! The more specific we are about what we want, the better.
When we get clear on what we want out of life, it’s much easier to see and pursue those opportunities.
Make a list. Be specific. (Something on my list right now is this: I want a Lexus GS 350 with low miles under $14K.)
**Since I wrote this a few weeks ago, I actually found my Lexus in the price range I wanted! I’m telling you… this WORKS.**
One of my desires is to travel the world and document moments that matter. I pray this prayer constantly.
2. Ask for what you want.
My faith is a very important part of my life. For me, prayer is a part of the manifestation process. I ask God for what I want first. Then I write out affirmations every day stating my desires in the present tense as if they’ve already happened.
“I am so happy and grateful now that I am traveling the world and documenting moments that matter.”
I also visualize myself traveling the world. I imagine very specific scenarios and places.
“Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head.” -Lisa Nichols
3. Take Action.
It’s not enough to ask for what you want. Now, you’ve got to put in the work. Research. Start taking steps towards your goals. Sign up for that class. Do something that will take you closer to what you desire.
Write down three things you can do that will take you closer to your dreams.
“You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward."
Don Miguel Ruiz
4. Practice Gratefulness
In order to get what we want, we must be grateful for what we have! There is a fine line between being content where we are while striving for what we desire.
Wake up every day and write down 10 things for which you are grateful. When we recognize how much we have to be thankful for, it raises our vibration. We’ve got to have a high vibration to attract the things we desire into our lives.
5. Surround Yourself with Positivity
The law of attraction is very true. We attract what we put out. If our lives are full of negativity, that’s exactly what we’ll get back. It’s so important to surround ourselves with positive people, positive thinking, positive books… positive everything.
Spend 10 minutes a day listening to an encouraging podcast. If you need a suggestion, Sean Croxton’s Quote of the Day is great.
“Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.”
Charles F. Glassman
