The Hidden Secret To Manifesting

Have you ever heard of the Law of Attraction? Simply put, it means "like attracts like". People often use the term Manifesting when they're in the process of attracting what they want. 

There are a few basic principles involved in manifesting.

1) Get very clear on what you want to attract. 

 Be specific without attachment. For example, if you'd like to buy a house, think about all the features you want in a home. How many bedrooms/bathrooms will it have? Do you want a big yard, close to your work or school, a one or two story? Try not to be so specific that you limit something better from coming along. If you kept saying, "I want the third house on the left on Maple Street", then that's a little too specific! There may be a much better house somewhere else in the city for you! Leave a little wiggle room in your dreams, be open to alternatives, and don't stress about them!

2) Put reminders about what you're trying to manifest around you. 

 Visual reminders about what you want to bring into your life keeps the dream alive even when you don't have it yet. Create a vision board, change your screensaver, write little notes and stick them on your mirror, create daily alerts on your phone to think about what you want, and repeat affirmations daily. It's important to BELIEVE that you're going to get what you want without a doubt. Spend a little time each day dreaming and thinking about your desire with excitement. 

3) You've got to do something about it. 

 It's not enough to just decide what you want and create a vision board. You've got to take some action steps to bring about what you want. If you want to take a vacation in Hawaii, then you've got to start saving money right? Pick a date in the future, block that time out on your calendar, put money aside, talk to a travel agent, make arrangements for your mail, pets, home etc. However, be open to alternative ways the trip could manifest. It might be a work trip that you add on a little extra time for relaxation, you could win a contest, or it could even be a gift! Regardless of how it comes to you, getting what you want will first REQUIRE action from you. Don't just wish for it! Get to work on it!

4) Clear out any obstacles.

 This is an important one! If you're trying to buy a new home but your credit is poor, then you aren't going to have much luck. You've got to get that obstacle out of the way first. Take a look at anything you want to attract. What could potentially get in your way? What steps do you need to take care of first before you can have what you really want?

5) Self-Care

 I bet you weren't expecting that right?! Another part of the Law of Attraction is gratitude. How can you be happy with more if you're not happy with what you currently have? Taking care of your physical body follows this same line of thinking. Your physical body is your constant companion. You're together 24/7. How do you feel about that? Do you wish it was different? Are you putting your physical health needs off because you don't value your body? Do you think it's not as important as love, money, family, or your spirituality?

Getting to a place of love, acceptance, and gratitude concerning your physical body lets the Universe know that you're happy with what you have, you treat it well, and that you'd treat any extra abundance with the same care. If you don't appreciate the basics, then would you even appreciate luxury? You've heard the saying, "More money, more problems" right? Having more of what you want doesn't solve fundamental self-love issues. 

Here are some examples of self-care concerning your physical body. If you've been avoiding or de-prioritizing these areas, then make a list and start checking them off today!

1) Schedule your routine wellness check

2) Get a dental check-up

4) Get your basic blood work done every 1-2 years to check for changes

5) Exercise

6) Improve your diet and water intake

7) Get a massage or facial

8) Investigate any sources of physical pain with your healthcare provider

10) Get an eye exam or update your glasses prescription

11) Get a manicure or pedicure

12) Replace clothes that are torn, worn out, or beyond repair. Choose something that makes you feel good.
