To manifest anything, it is critical that you watch your attempts to will something to happen or to will someone to fit a specific mold of your design. This version of your will comes from your head. It does not come from a heart connected vision. It’s an idea you made up in your mind; a way you think it should be.
You are driving the idea willfully – “I’m in charge. It will happen according to my time line; according to the specific way I think it should be. I know my way is right.”
So much exhaustion, pain and resentment can come from wishing things to be different than they are. When you find yourself efforting or forcing something to happen, it is important to change your focus.
Manifesting what you truly desire requires having a heart connected vision. Armed with this intention helps shift your attention to aligned, energizing actions and behaviors that lead to living an energetic, manifesting life. Energetic flow equals joy. Willful struggle equals cranky. Your choice.
Here are four key steps to manifest anything:
1. Set your intention or your vision of what you want to manifest: Be very clear, state what you want, not what you don’t want. Write it down. It is important to have a visual representation of your vision to remind you often of what you want.
2. Focus your attention on creating your vision: What you focus on expands, so focus only on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Allow yourself to visualize often what you want to manifest.
3. Take aligned action: Step directly into action. Watch for clues – is it an effort or does it flow easily? If it’s effort that drains you it may be a clue that your actions are not energetically aligned, or your vision is not energetically connected to your heart.
4. Release the outcome: Trying to will what you want to happen will keep you from seeing a better version of your dream when it appears. We have a plaque in our home that says “Sometimes on the way to a dream you get lost and find a better one.”
