Manifesting, the mystical and mysterious term we all love to talk about… but don’t know how it actually works? There is so much noise about manifesting out there that it can be overwhelming. Don’t worry girl, we got you!
This Post is all about 3 Powerful Manifestation Methods for Manifesting Your Dreams
“Manifest” Buzzword or Real?
Lately, it seems like everyone is talking about manifestation on some level, whether it’s the digital marketing bros or the wellness gurus. No matter where you turn online there is information about making your dream life your reality, but is it all smoke and mirrors?
We’re here to tell you that yes, despite how fleeting it may seem, manifestation is real. In simplest terms manifesting is about bringing forth an idea into your reality. We manifest every single day whether we believe we are or not. That morning Starbucks drink? manifested, that bad date you had on Friday night? manifested. Everything we experience as our reality was once a thought or idea that we manifested. Manifestation is really just the process of pursuing a goal, if you believe in goal mapping then you believe in manifestation, my friends.
3 Powerful Manifestation Methods
The key to manifesting things you actually WANT comes down to these three powerful methods.
1. Practicing Gratitude
Gratitude is a funny thing. People seem to think that gratitude = settling, and that’s simply just not true. You should be expressing gratitude for things in your life at every stage, and not just when you’re fully satisfied. Gratitude does not mean you are settling for what you have, gratitude means you are grateful and ready for more. Expressing gratitude for something will let the universe know what you’re a yes for. Are you a yes for abundance? then express gratitude for that $20 bill your grandma shoves in your pocket every time you see her. Are you a yes for finding true love? then express gratitude for the first time you get a match on a dating app. You’re not saying this is enough, you’re saying thank you and I’m ready for more.
2. Treat Your Manifesting Goals Like a First Date
If you were going on a date with someone for the first time and you showed up with really desperate and clingy energy, what would happen? You would likely never hear from them again because no one wants to date a desperate bitch. Well, your goals don’t want to be with a desperate bitch either. When we approach our goals and manifestations with this desperate needy “I got to have you” energy we are pushing them further away. We want to approach them with confidence, and hot girl energy. You already know the manifestation is on its way, there’s no need to act desperate because you’re not worried about it happening or not. You have done everything you needed to do to prepare for this manifestation (similar to getting ready for a first date), all it needs to do is arrive.
3. Taking Aligned Action
Back to the dating analogy, what do you do when you have a first date? you prepare for it. Taking aligned action is preparing for your manifestation’s arrival. When you think of the version of you that’s already manifested your desires, what did she do to get there? what were the action steps? Maybe you need to hire a business coach, start socializing more or move your body intentionally each day or take more vitamins. Prepare yourself with the tools, habits, and community you need to feel supported and sure that your goals were going to work out.
What People Get Wrong About Manifestation
Assuming manifestation is all talk and no action, you can’t just put a photo of a mansion on your wall and assume it’s going to fall into your lap. Manifesting is about taking action (aligned action as you now know!) while doing the deep work to unlearn your limiting beliefs.
So the next time you’re scrolling through Pinterest and see the 555 method or someone claiming to find riches just by repeating an affirmation, keep scrolling! Affirmations are important but they’re just a single tool in the manifestation toolbox, not the entire method to achieving your goals.
