What’s your take on manifestation?
Believer or nah?
On today’s episode of the What Nik Know’s podcast I’m going to share with you my perspective on manifesting and 8 steps that you can start doing today! I believe manifesting is a mindset…a way of being.. a way of living. It’s your thought process. It’s what and how you envision your life unfolding. And let me tell you this- it’s a choice.
If you’re not familiar with this term it’s basically the idea of bringing something tangible into your life through attraction and belief…like if you put it out there it will come to fruition There are so many different ways to manifest - some people do it through meditation others through visualization or just your conscious or subconscious.
For a long time I though this was bull shit.
Until things I kept thinking about came true. And signs kept showing up around me once I picked something (I’m a big sign girl)
Like the house we live in now.
I wrote everything down on a post it and a few months later it appeared. Of course it wasn’t PERFECT. (Because that doesn’t exist) and exactly what I had in my head but shit it came pretty damn close.
Or my husband.
I found an old journal from 7th grade at my parents house. I flipped it open and landed on a page called “My dream boy”…and it event had the name “Jared” on the list.
Last week I had a meeting that I have been drumming up for YEARS. I remember the first time I thought about this collaboration happening. How I felt when I was asked, how I’d respond, the exact verbiage they would use when speaking to me and I kid you not I had that meeting last week and it went exactly how I had experienced it in my head.
THAT IS MANIFESTING.
Manifesting does NOT mean that if you think positively it will appear tomorrow or that you’re not allowed to have bad days. It doesn’t mean that if you create a vision board it’s automatically going to come true. It doesn’t mean if you wish for it tonight it will come true tomorrow.
So here are my 8 steps to you on how to start manifesting your dream life:
- Start a meditation and/or mindfulness practice
- Journal (grab the 5 minute journal if you’re new too journaling)
- Write a “wish list” about that specific thing
- Find your thinking place (aka your inspirational place) mine is walking or driving with music (not lately in the car because I have cocomelon on repeat)
- Feel all the things about what you envision…the way you feel, how you’re dressed, who’s around you etc. Add as many details as you can. Don’t try to imagine exactly how the thing or outcome becomes yours; instead focus solely on the end result of recieving what you desire.
- Listen you can spend all day day dreaming but if you don’t take action then it’s not going to happen. Start taking small actions towards your dream.
- Address your limiting beliefs
- And of course- trust the process.
TRUST THE PROCESS. Trust that life is working for you. Trust that it is unfolding just as it’s suppose to.
