Manifestation: A Little More Than Positive Thinking
Manifesting success and happiness is all the rage right now, everywhere I look there is someone giving a testimony of how manifestation is the key link between them and their amazing life. In fact, B. Simone just wrote a whole book about it and if you’ve ever been to her page or caught one of her instagrams lives you know sis is all about positive thinking and manifesting!
““The Secret to Getting Ahead is Getting Started””
I was sitting at my desk this morning wondering, how am I supposed to manifest the life that I want? The success and opportunities I want? I mean.. I know I’m supposed to think positively and have faith but like.. Is that really all that it takes?? After a while of sitting in silence and thinking over the question something clicked and I realized, I was manifesting! Right in that moment! I had gotten up to write a blog and get some things done on my website, think of an email campaign idea to hopefully connect with some readers.. all of this was apart of my manifestation. In fact, a lot of what I have been doing lately was and I hadn’t even noticed.
When you’re working to manifest the life you want, YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE! Usually that place is right where you are now with whatever you currently have. Starting is the hard part for so many people, including myself. We over think things, doubt our abilities, we focus on the fact that we don’t know the answers for step 10 when we haven’t even glanced at step 1.. we hold ourselves back, a lot. Instead of spending hours staring into the Abis, subconsciously pushing yourself to feel inadequate just go with what you do have. If you don’t, you run the risk of never starting at all because you’re too caught up in what may or may not happen once you do.
I’ve been getting a lot done lately and feeling very good about it, even the smallest accomplishments bring a smile to my face because it feels like I’ve added one more piece to the puzzle. Remember that your small wins are still wins, CLAP FOR YOURSELF! When the actions you’re taking start to line up with those thoughts of manifestation, you have to be right there loud and seen cheering for yourself! Getting to that next step sometimes requires some encouragement that you’re on the right track and nobody is going to support you, like you. Actively showing yourself love and compassion when you need it, definitely makes the time spent working towards those goals that much more sweet.
In order to continue actively working towards manifesting, you have to INVEST IN KEEPING YOURSELF INSPIRED. Investing in yourself doesn’t always require money, often all you need is the time. When we invest time into things that keep us inspired, moving forward, and focused those thoughts of manifestation really start to FEEL like something. Working towards your goals isn’t an easy task, but surrounding yourself with people or things that reaffirm the vision is another way to stay inspired.
““The Best Thing You Can Do is Keep Going!””
Be very real with yourself about the fact that there will be bumps in the road. Life never said she was giving you an easy pass because you want to be somebody. Something often left out of the manifest your dreams convo is the fact that you’ll still experience things you didn’t manifest, and you can’t skip those parts. Simple thoughts of what could be aren’t enough, you have to be the driving force behind the things you wish to manifest in life. Start where you are with what you have, clap for yourself and stay inspired!
