There’s so much information out there about manifestation, creating your dream life, and all the magical things that come with it.
I read a lot about this topic (as it’s one of my favs). Although there is SO much informative content out there, there is something very simple that is often over looked when discussing the idea of manifesting. It’s deciding. Literally, making a choice in favor of what you desire, and moving forward with that choice.
The energetic process that follows a decision is very powerful. Let’s say I really want to take a trip to Fiji. However, I keep saying I will do it ‘one day.’ This is an open ended statement, and energetically "falls off,” meaning that I see a trip to Fiji as something I want, but it feels unattainable to me right now so I decide that I’ll make this happen sometime in the distant future…if I’m lucky, successful, wealthy, etc. It can be next year…or 20 years from now. The decision made just says “later.” It’s not specific, and therefore the Universe energetically feels it as non-specific, and no further action (or alignment to me going to Fiji) is taken.
But what if I say, I am going to Fiji NEXT YEAR. I made the statement. I am going to Fiji next year and this is the decision I made. I decided that this trip to Fiji is something my soul needs, it’s non-negotiable, and I’ve wanted to go to Fiji since I was a child. The crystal clear water, the sunshine, the expansiveness of the sea, and the adventure! My soul has been craving this for a long time, and I have now decided to act on it. Boom. Just like that, my energetic approach to my trip to Fiji does a 180. My simple change in language regarding this dream, and my non-negotiable attitude, has allowed me to actually connect with this experience and pull it into my field of possibilities. I made a choice, signaled the Universe with my energy of decisiveness, and my deeply desired trip to Fiji is now on the path of manifestation.
Making definitive choices does not just have to be in the world of luxurious trips, although that’s a really fun decision to make. I want to bring into light the idea of making the decision to live differently. If you grew up in a super chaotic environment, and ‘chaos as normalcy’ is engrained in your body, that does not mean you have to live that way forever. You can decide to invite in peace, security, a feeling of grounded-ness, and super supportive relationships. When you decide this, you energetically signal the Universe that chaos no longer works for you. This probably will not change completely overnight…but it will get a tiny bit better overnight. You may have layers to shed. You may get caught up in an unnecessary bout of chaos and think, I told myself I wasn’t going to do this anymore. That’s okay. You are still on the path to manifesting a life filled with more peace, security, and grounded-ness. You may have to consciously make the choice to live a less chaotic life for years. However, one day you will enter into bed at night and think, living in peace was so easy to do today. I’ve come such a long way.
Manifestation begins with a decision. You step into the studio of alignment only after you decide, with your soul, that you are going to live better, do better, make more money, eat healthier, love more, live in less chaos, smile more, or any other magical idea you have.
Why does this work?
When we decide on something, we change what we notice. When we change what we notice, we change our outcome. Back to Fiji…I decided to go. My timeline is one year from now. I have this trip in my thoughts, walking around with me all day. I still have some money to make before I can buy my plane ticket. So, I start to notice what other people are doing to make more money. I start to think about a ‘side hustle’ or asking my boss for a raise since I’ve been totally crushing it at work. Maybe I notice how much money I’m spending at the bar each week and by not going out so much I can save more money, and feel better in the morning! There’s so much to notice after making this decision…the options are truly endless. The point is that things (even if they’re small) begin to shift. The shift that occurs in my brain (since I am taking more notice of how I actually do life) extends itself into my energetic field. I am serious about this trip, and it becomes very obvious how serious I am. My friends begin to notice, my parents begin to notice, but most importantly, the Universe begins to notice. I enter the energetic playing field of going to Fiji and living out one of my soul’s desires. The Universe takes note, and responds generously. My road to making this trip manifest will eventually turn from gravel to paved, as I continue to move toward my goal.
What happens in the depths of this process is this: I change my idea of what’s possible for myself. This changes my vibration. It’s simple…my tenacity surrounding this goal, and my belief in it, begins to vibrationally alter the way I experience the world. I enter a state of alignment (oneness/sameness/agreement with my desire).
All because I stopped being vague, and made a decision.
The best part: my desire wants me just as badly as I want it. It’s just hanging out there like, um…I’m still waiting. When we decide on our desires, our desires decide on us.
Get Involved.
First of all…this phrase is dope. One of my best friends said this to me the other day and I can’t stop laughing. I absolutely love it. But seriously…get the F involved with your life.
We’ve started saying this at my restaurant, and it has brought many smiles to faces around there. It fits perfectly in the setting of manifestation. So many of us humans still have the idea in our minds that life happens to us, and we stop ourselves from the idea that we are the creators of our life. Why? Because if we truly view ourselves as the creators of our life and experiences a whole wave of regret and frustration sweep over our human self. It’s hard to look in the mirror. It’s hard to take ownership.
But what if it wasn’t hard anymore? What if it was empowering, exciting, and inspirational? It can be. But that requires you to release all the other feelings you have around getting involved with your own life. Yes, you made choices you hate. Yes, you have talked yourself out of amazing opportunities. Yes, you may have even self-sabotaged your life so much at times it could be compared to a ‘dumpster fire.’ But guess what? All of those things happened when you weren’t involved. So, what happens when you are? I would love to know.
Manifestation = decision + action + vibrational alignment.
You are capable of so much. Decide. Go to Fiji…or bring Fiji to you.
