Greetings lovely nieces! I've missed you so much. It feels great to be back. Your Aunty was out here living the soft(ish) life (a life that I totally manifested). I was on vacation and I can't wait to tell you all about it. But first, we have to get to more important topics. It's Monday and that means Manifest Mondays! This is the first installment of my new series Manifest Mondays. Every Monday we will discuss manifesting.
To kick off the series we have to understand the basics of Manifesting. This blog will go over what manifesting is, how to do it, and does it actually work (spoiler: it totally works!) Think of this as manifesting 101.
In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, the concept of manifesting has gained significant attention. It promises a way to take control of your life and shape your reality according to your desires. But what exactly is manifesting? Does it really work? Can you truly bring your dreams to reality through this practice? In this blog, we'll explore the essence of manifesting, examine its effectiveness, and delve into how you can incorporate it into your life.
Understanding Manifesting
At its core, manifesting is the art of bringing your thoughts, desires, and intentions into reality. This is done by thinking about a specific goal often and with focus until you achieve it. It's a belief that by focusing your energy, thoughts, and emotions on a specific goal, you can attract that goal into your life. Manifesting operates on the premise that the universe responds to your thoughts and vibrations, aligning circumstances, opportunities, and resources to help you achieve your goals.
Does Manifesting Work?
Whether manifesting works seems to vary from person to person. Some people attribute their successes to the power of manifesting, while others remain skeptical, attributing these outcomes to coincidences or natural progression. Science doesn't yet provide definitive evidence for or against manifesting, as it deals with concepts that can't always be empirically measured.
However, proponents argue that the process of manifesting can have psychological benefits, such as boosting motivation, enhancing focus, and fostering a positive mindset.
In my personal opinion, manifesting does work. I have used it on my own life over and over again, and I plan to use it to grow my blog and YouTube channel. So follow me on my journey, and see manifesting working in real time.
Practicing Manifesting
If you're intrigued by the idea of manifesting and want to give it a try, here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Set Clear Intentions: Define what you want to manifest. Be specific and clear about your desires. Vague intentions may lead to ambiguous results.
2. Visualize: Close your eyes and vividly imagine yourself already in possession of what you want. Feel the emotions associated with achieving your goal. Set aside time for visualization. I like to do it in the morning before I start my day and at night before I go to bed. Visualization helps solidify your intentions in your subconscious mind.
3. Positive Affirmations: Create positive affirmations that support your intentions. Repeat these affirmations daily, either aloud or in your mind. Saying your affirmations and intentions often will reinforce your belief in the possibility of your desires coming true.
4. Embrace Gratitude: Cultivate a sense of gratitude for what you currently have and for the future manifestations. Gratitude amplifies positive energy and attracts more abundance. I cannot express how important gratitude is when it comes to manifesting.
5. Maintain High Vibrations: Stay positive, enthusiastic, and confident. Avoid negative thoughts and emotions that might counteract your manifesting efforts. This is not about toxic positivity, this about overall staying positive when it comes to manifesting. Manifesting is not always easy, and the bigger the dream the longer it will take to manifest. You have to trust the process and maintain a positive attitude when manifesting.
6. Take Inspired Action: Manifesting is not about sitting back and waiting for miracles. Take steps toward your goal. The universe often responds to your efforts by presenting opportunities and aligning circumstances. My step mom would often tell me, "The universe loves first steps. Take the first step and miracles will happen!"
7. Release Attachment: Strive for a sense of detachment from the outcome. While maintaining your intentions, don't become overly obsessed with the result. Trust in the process and timing. For me, releasing attachment is one of the hardest parts of manifesting, but it's so important. Once you master this step, manifesting will seem effortless.
8. Patience and Consistency: Manifesting might not yield immediate results. Stay consistent in your practice and patient in awaiting the outcomes. And know that I am here for you throughout your journey as well as a community of internet cousins. We got this!
Final thought on what is manifesting and how to do it?
Manifesting is a belief system that involves channeling your energy and thoughts to bring about desired outcomes. By setting clear intentions, visualizing your goals, embracing positivity, and taking inspired action, you might tap into the potential power of manifesting. Whether you see it as a tool for personal growth, a psychological aid, or a cosmic force, manifesting offers an interesting perspective on our ability to shape our reality.
Happy manifesting!
Love,
Aunty Bri
