So you want to manifest something out of your life. But somewhere in the corner of your mind you might be thinking, ‘Does it actually work?’
For most of us living in unawareness, we’re only manifesting things we don’t want in our lives unconsciously.
But imagine manifesting your dream job, manifesting your dream house, your perfect partner, your desired level of income, and everything else you desire!
Again, is this really possible?
Yes, it certainly is possible and there are thousands of people (also including me) who have and who are continuously manifesting their dream lives and desires.
People like Oprah, Rhonda Byrne, Eckhart Tolle, and Malala, are all masters in manifestation.
And even though I am a novice, I can say that I have been able to manifest my dream job, manifest my new blog into a successful one in less than a year, manifest the apartment I am living in, manifest buying my dream home, manifest my dream vacation and many other things.
So today in this post I want to share with you the 10 basic steps to manifest what you want.
What it means to manifest
To manifest means to bring into life what you can see in your mind through the power of your belief and your alignment with the Universe, or your own true self.
As the saying goes, ‘If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hands’. Manifestation is bringing into the reality the thoughts you visualize.
Quite simply, to manifest means to have your dreams turn true.
And how you can actually manifest something is what I’m going to share. It’s more than just putting out your desires and intentions to the Universe.
So let’s see how you can start manifesting!
How to manifest something you want
1. Get clear on what you want to manifest
What is it that you want to manifest in your life? A better job? A beautiful home? A wonderful love life? An increase in income? A strong body?
Get clear on what you want absolutely.
If you are unclear about what you want, then how can the Universe provide it for you?
But you should know that it is also not about craving for what you want in your life, otherwise, craving gives off a different energy which stops you from manifesting what you want.
Simply get clear on your goals, and make them as specific as you can.
2. Write it down on paper
Write down your vision. Write down your intentions. What is it that you want to manifest? Write it down on paper.
It is fun and powerful to write down your vision. Write down how you visualize yourself in 5 years or by the end of this year.
Write down your vision for the beautiful home you will be living in or your vision for the amount of income you wish to have.
Particularly important is to write down with a lot of feeling. Write down with a feeling of excitement about them coming true.
But don’t try so hard. Simply write with imagination. For me when I write down my visions it automatically lifts me up.
And as I write excitement and enthusiasm naturally wells up as I truly believe them coming true.
The more you give off a good feeling and the feeling of belief that it will all be true, the universe WILL start to work its magic to make it happen for you!
3. Visualize what you want to manifest
The half of learning how to manifest is learning how to visualize. Most of us have a hard time visualizing. I would say, give yourself time.
Give yourself time, but have a practice for visualization you can come back to daily.
Learning to still your mind is most important for visualization, for a monkey mind can never visualize and imagine the possibilities.
You have to learn to stay still first. This is not as difficult as we think. Simply sit down and do 10 mindful breathing before you sit down for visualization.
Then visualize your goals and dreams, and be happy and excited about it. Again, don’t stress about it.
Just see yourself in it. See yourself living it, walking through it, holding it, touching it, seeing it, moving around it, or whatever it might be. But see yourself in it.
It’s easy to visualize when you see a moving picture of yourself. Also, its easy to visualize if you create a vision board.
Here is how you can create a vision board that actually works!
But this is not to say that you can visualize only when you sit down. You can visualize anywhere or anytime you want.
I like to visualize my dreams and intentions as I take a walk or when I am commuting somewhere.
Daydreaming is good if it is you dreaming about your ambitions and visions making you feel good.
So visualize and daydream, but also live in the present moment.
4. Feel your desires coming true
To manifest is not simply to write down your desires and set out your intentions, and then think you’ve done your part.
It’s much more. But you have the power with you all along- and that is in your ‘Feelings’. How you feel determines what you manifest.
Your feelings are what connect your intentions to the Universe because the Universe is a ‘Feeling Universe’
I have only recently understood the power of our feelings and how our feelings are actually the true source of what we’re attracting and experiencing in our lives.
Try to ‘feel’ your desires coming true. How does it make you feel? Feel them already. I cannot emphasize this enough.
That is why to get you in the ‘feeling your desires coming true’ state, writing and visualizing are crucial.
5. Be mindful of what you speak
What we speak is our thoughts in voice. When you set out to manifest something in your life, be mindful of what you speak to yourself and to others.
For example, suppose you’ve written down that you want to get a wonderful job, and you try to visualize yourself in that great job, but if after the interview, someone asks you, ‘How did it go?’
and you say, ‘Oh it was bad.. I am never getting the job!’ just because you’re not confident about yourself, then you’re just giving mixed signals to the Universe.
If you say you want a great body and want to get thin, but keep talking and feeling about how fat you are and how you can’t eat anything because you’ll get fat, then you won’t really manifest your desires.
Be mindful of what you speak about what you want to manifest, and also about your life in general.
6. Work on yourself
When you’re new to this whole ‘Law of attraction’ and ‘Manifesting’ thing, it is easy to get too eager to do it right and be impatient, but over the years I have come to realize that it’s all about giving yourself time to first, be the best version of yourself.
Simply asking the Universe what you want and hoping you’ll get it while you complain, while you feel bad about everyone and everything won’t work.
Things start to manifest only when you first focus on being the best version of yourself.
Once the focus shifts to you and what you can do for yourself to be better, the Universe starts to take care of what you want and starts to align things just for you.
7. Work on your goals
Next, you have to work on your goals towards creating your dream life. You have to help the Universe work for you.
Set down your goals and your to-do list. Vision a great future for yourself. Dare to dream big and work on it.
The Universe is watching each of your actions to see whether you’re worthy of it or not. So to manifest the things you desire, you have to feel that you are worthy of receiving them.
Don’t hold doubt that maybe you don’t deserve it.
You deserve everything and you must feel it in you, and feel it enough as you work towards it.
8. Live in high life state
To manifest, more than anything your life state matters.
Your life state is the energy and enthusiasm that you have in you. Take care of your energy and try to always live with high energy.
If you feel depleted or burned out, learn to rest and restore your energy.
You cannot manifest something out of your life if you’re always feeling tired, grumpy, annoyed or in a perpetual state of negativity.
Find and do things that elevate your energy and make you feel good.
Listening to uplifting music that makes you want to dance and be happy, creating art, going out for a walk in nature, and gardening can all help you elevate your life state.
Focus on elevating your life state, being cheerful and being a person who is hard to get bogged down by anything.
When you find yourself in a high life state, take advantage of the good feeling and give off gratitude and ‘feel’ that you are going to receive what you want at the right time.
It’s easy to believe when you’re in a high-life state. This is how you can manifest easily.
9. Give off gratitude
Gratitude is not just a one-time thing, where you list down what you’re grateful for at the start of the day or end of the day, and think that you’ve done the work.
It would help if you made gratitude a state of life in itself.
Give off gratitude. Live in gratitude. Say ‘thank you’ often to people and feel it. Say, thank you to water as you get to wash your face in the morning.
Say, thank you to water as you get to enjoy the shower after a long day at work. Water helps you relax and refresh you. How wonderful water is.
How wonderful the greenery is. How wonderful our body is. Take notice and be thankful. Give off gratitude.
It is a wonderful way to live.
10. Let go and trust
Lastly, just let go and trust that the Universe is working its magic for you.
Don’t be attached to your desires. Attachment brings in impatience. Your part is just to be clear about what you want and send the intention to the Universe. You don’t have to keep on repeating.
Simply continue to work on yourself, work on your goals, have a high life state and give gratitude. You have done your part.
Now just let the Universe do its part for you, and trust that it will at the right time.
Wrapping up: How to manifest something you want
You can manifest the life of your dreams. Be bold. Have the courage to dream big and imagine the life you want. You have every right to live the life of your dreams.
That is why you have been born, and given this gift of being alive without you even asking for you.
You were also manifested by the Universe, so always believe that you belong here and you have everything in you to manifest what you want in your life.
Once you decide, believe and live life in full color, the Universe won’t fail to back you up!
Happy Manifesting!
