fool’s guide to manifesting

Over the years I have played around with various ways to create a certain type of magic in my life. I was first introduced to the ways of the Universe by my mum growing up, but I never really got it. Actually, I never really paid attention. I was too far away in a dreamland of becoming a global superstar (LOL!).

Later on in life, about 4 years ago, I took on some life and business coaching which really paved the way for manifesting and trusting the Universe. You can start by listening to The Secret (I say listen because Audible is way more enjoyable than reading this book).

What I found worked for me was manifestation through journaling. I’m going to share with you why I love it, and the four simple ways to get started today so you can manifest certain outcomes in your life.

Let’s get this straight, journaling is more than just a ‘Dear diary’, it’s a way to get your mindset in check and your energy in the highest vibration so you can rid your mind of self-doubt and create space to receive what you want out of life.

JOURNALING OUT WHAT YOU WANT GETS YOU IN THE HEAD SPACE AND PATTERN TO CREATE WHAT YOU DESIRE.

The biggest part about manifestation is your choice of words. Anything you think and speak you can ultimately attract into your life. We are constantly manifesting and creating certain outcomes, both positive and negative, and most of the time without even noticing. So, whatever thought pops into your head, take note of how it makes you feel and watch it actually unfold.

TREAT YOURSELF TO A NICE JOURNAL AND WRITING PEN:

Sounds pretty inconspicuous, so stay with me. Treating yourself to new writing tools can uplift and motivate you to write, so try to avoid digging out an old notebook and pen that’s almost out of ink... Sounds simple and often times ignored, but if money is what you’re trying to manifest, then what you’re choosing to write with should feel and be abundant. Having new and luxe tools like An Organised Life diary, is telling yourself and the Universe that you CAN afford nice things, and that you’re worthy too - hello, money mindset!

SHOW UP ‘AS IF’ IN YOUR JOURNAL:

Instead of writing what you want to manifest, start writing as if you already have/are it. So, if you’re a consultant struggling to fill your calendar with new clients, write as if your days are full of creative flexibility and enough clients to fulfil their needs. Maybe you have a meeting coming up that you need to tackle, so write that you nailed the meeting, you blew their minds with your skill and the opportunity is yours. Showing up ‘as if’ in your daily routine really sets the tone and energy for manifesting.

FREE-WRITE!

This can be anything from ‘I am statements’ such as; “I am a confident and wealthy woman”, to gratitude feels like “as I sit here on my balcony journaling and releasing my negativity I am grateful for my comfortable surroundings, a supportive partner to share a home with, a puppy who comforts me and enough money to fulfil my needs.
Even go so far as intention setting because this is exactly how you get your vibes high and your energy up for how you want the day to flow and the outcomes you truly want to create.
Ways to set intentions are how you want the day to unfold- does it entail new opportunities, magical moments, receiving?
Also, be sure to include the hard hitting Q’s such as, “what it is you truly want in your business, what would it feel like to get out of your own way, what is stopping you from achieving these goals”.

SEE THEM EVERYWHERE

Print out your goals and desires and place them where you go to regularly in your home or office so you can be reminded to speak them out to The Universe. My favourite spots are on my shower glass, above my kettle and on my phone notes - be sure to set an alarm throughout the day to check in with your goals.

Using these simple steps creates a confidence and aura about yourself, and also gives you the necessary energy to get laser focused on what you want to manifest. It kind of tricks your brain into showing up as that person who has achieved their goals and received the desires, which creates a buzzing energy and the action to create it.
