Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions, waiting for something amazing to happen? Well, I've been there, and let me tell you, it's time to stop waiting and start manifesting!
My Manifestation Story: From Loss to Abundance
Let me share a little story with you. A while back, I found myself in a tough spot. I was living in my dream condo, a place I had made a home and safe place, but due to a breakup, I had to move out.
Suddenly, I found myself with nowhere to go and nothing to call my own. I was back to square one, with no furniture, no plates, no pots and pans, not even bed sheets. It was a daunting place to be. My whole world as I knew it was never going to be the same again.
I accepted the fact that I had to live with my parents for a bit until I was able to get myself back on my feet. With rent for one-bedroom apartments in the area I had lived in for years, being ridiculously high, I couldn't see a way forward. My whole world had been ripped out of my hands, and I felt lost.
Instead of allowing this to upset me, I surrendered to it and thought to myself... When will I get the opportunity to spend this kind of time with my parents again? I decided to take advantage of it and actually enjoyed it... for the short time it ended up being...
Once I decided to fully surrender to God, everything started falling into place. I started journaling every single day, pouring my heart and soul onto those pages. I prayed a lot, I visualized my dream life, and I put my faith in something bigger than myself.
I also had the most amazing group of friends that helped me get through it. They'd let me cry for hours to them about the same thing and then would push me to get out of the house and continue living my life.
And you know what? I had the best summer of my life that year and within just two months of being back in the home I grew up in, everything changed.
I received an offer to rent a place for the same price I was paying before moving in with my ex-partner. It was in the same area I had always lived in, so I didn't have to uproot my life and leave the community of friends I've built here either. But that's not all....
I also met the man of my dreams this year. I had been praying for someone like him my whole life. We align with our views on life, he treats me tenderly, and prioritizes my happiness and well-being. He's a man of God, which is what I always wanted and imagined for myself growing up.
It felt like my prayers had been answered in the most beautiful way and everything that happened FOR me finally made sense. God was protecting me from a life that wasn't meant for me and deep down, a life that I had always felt wasn't right for me.
If you keep scrolling down, I'll tell you how I manifested in a way that got me exactly to where I am today.
Always listen to your intuition and rather than think "why is this happening to me" say "this is happening FOR me" - it may not make sense in the moment but everything that happens to us is happening for a greater reason and you need to trust that.
When I surrendered to God and lost what felt like everything but accepted it as a path to something new, the new path came so much quicker—and it was better than I ever imagined. The key word here is, surrender.
Tips to Manifest Your Dreams
Now, I'm not saying that manifesting is a magic cure-all. But what I am saying is that when you align your thoughts, beliefs, and actions with your goals and desires, amazing things can happen. Here are some tips to help you manifest the life of your dreams:
Get Clear on Your Desires:
Take some time to really think about what you want out of life. Whether it's a successful career, loving relationships, good health, or all of the above, be specific about your desires and write them down.
Visualize Your Dreams:
Close your eyes and imagine yourself already living your dream life. What does it look like? How does it feel? The more vividly you can picture it, the more real it becomes. I would do this every day, I like to do it in the morning before my day starts but you can do it when it works best for you.
Set Intentions:
Write down your goals and intentions as if they have already happened. For example, instead of saying, "I want to be successful," say, "I am successful in everything I do."
If you're seeking love - here's what I wrote in my journal (and boy..did it come true)
"I'm so grateful to be married to the man of my dreams. A man of God, who doesn't lie or cheat. A man who prioritizes me and my happiness. A man who puts me first and who will put our family first".
Take Inspired Action:
Manifesting isn't just about sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You have to take action! Whether it's networking, starting a new project, or taking care of your health, take steps every day to move closer to your goals.
I've cut out excessive drinking and putting myself in environments that aren't good for my soul. I only do what I feel aligned with, I remove myself without hesitation from people and environments that don't feel good for me. You should do the same.
Practice Gratitude: every. single. day.
Be grateful for what you have, and believe that more good things are on the way. The more you focus on the positive, the more positivity you'll attract into your life.
I journal every morning with the five minute journal...
And most importantly, I don't forget to have faith and pray to God. For me, manifesting is about more than just the law of attraction; it's about trusting in God's plan for me and believing that He has amazing things in store.
So go ahead, Made Girl, it's time to start manifesting the life you deserve! Believe in yourself, take inspired action, and watch as your dreams become reality.
Stay inspired and until next time...
With love and faith,
