17 Sep Manifest the Life of Your Dreams
Manifesting the life of your dreams is not just about dreaming—it’s about aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions with what you want to invite into your life. Here are some practical tips to help you manifest your dream life.
1. Make a Ritual of Your Gratitude
The first step to any manifestation is to practice gratitude- not only gratitude for all that’s good in your life, but gratitude for all the good that is yet to come. The best way to incorporate gratitude into your life is to make it into a ritual that you adopt into your daily routine. For example, you can use a journal to write down five things you are grateful for or do a five-minute gratitude meditation- visualizing all the good things you have and will have in your life. The attitude of gratitude is critical to manifestation because it puts you in the habit of looking for good- constantly noticing all the ways you are lucky or blessed. When your energy is focused on the positive, the universe responds with more positivity. When you tell the universe your dreams, and then practice gratitude for them as though they have already manifested, you are giving the universe a green light.
- Get Detailed with Your Visualizations
Visualize your dreams in vivid detail and be as specific as possible. When you have your dream salary, what house will you wake up in? What will you wear? When you have found the partner of dreams, where will you go on date nights? When you land that promotion, what will be your daily tasks? Most importantly- how will you feel? When you visualize your dreams coming true, the details are important, but inhabiting the feelings is critical. How will you feel when you are driving your new car? Will you feel proud? When you move to your dream city, will you feel optimistic? All yourself to visualize and then feel those feelings. Sit in those feelings and hold on to them throughout your day. Pair your gratitude ritual with a visualization practice to ensure that visualizing your dreams coming true is a part of your daily life. For example, meditate for a few minutes on your gratitude list, and then practice conjuring the feelings you will feel when your vision board is your reality. Take those feelings into the rest of your day. Write down your manifestation wishes in detail- read them before bed each night, and sleep with the list under your pillow. When you first wake up, read the list again, and summon the feelings you will feel when the wishes have been fulfilled. The more vivid your visualization, the stronger your manifesting powers will be.
- Eliminate Worry and Doubt – Let the Universe Figure it Out
Manifesting your dreams is impossible if you spend precious energy worrying that your dreams will not come true or taking detours as signs that your aspirations will never materialize. Dream your dreams and allow the universe to do its thing. Take notice as soon as it comes into your consciousness that you are worrying. Observe the worrying, and replace it with a trusting mantra such as, “It’s tempting to worry that I will never have financial freedom because of past patterns, but I trust the universe to fulfill my dreams of wealth and abundance.” If you are manifesting your dream job- you can’t get sucked in to disappointment when you apply for something that seems perfect, but you don’t get called for an interview. Gabby Bernstein says, “Rejection is protection.” Trust that the universe is working on your behalf to make it happen, and that the timing of the universe is divine and perfect. Rushing the dream to unfold will impede, rather than support your goals, and impatience blocks progress.
- Believe in Your Worthiness
You are worthy of an abundant life where all your dreams have come true. Full stop. If you doubt your own worthiness, you will be caught in a loop of negative self-talk, self-defeating behaviors, and an endless series of seemingly wrong turns. Your worthiness is inherent and embracing this fact is like waving a magic wand to unleash your potential.
- Take Action, but Stay Flexible
To make big dreams come, you may need to take some action. Brainstorm a plan, but stay nimble. Take enthusiastic steps in the direction you feel called to go. If you are manifesting becoming a best-selling author, attend a writing workshop, and read the best-selling books from your book’s genre. You’ll never be a best-selling author if you don’t write. So- take action and set a writing schedule. But if you think you need a literary agent for your dream to come true and you keep getting rejected by agents- explore other options. There’s more than one way to land your book on the NYT bestseller list. Let go of the details and remain curious. Take guidance from the universe. Be open to changing the plans.
Have fun along the way and keep taking the next right step toward the life of your dreams. Happy manifesting!
Love & light,
