Manifesting Tips

How do you manifest?

Where do you get started and how do you keep the momentum going?

We are all master manifesters – how do we manifest what we want instead of what we say we don’t want?

Manifesting Step #1: Get Clear and Make a Decision!

The first step in manifesting is clarity. Get clear about what your goal is. Then follow that up with sharing it confidently and taking courageous action. And that requires you to make a decision about what you want.

Often we worry about “how” we are going to create what we want. Example: I want to start a business but the market is too saturated, I haven’t done this before, I don’t have clients, I work full time and I don’t have time to put into starting a business, what do I do first, etc, etc. etc. Why are you worrying about how something is going to happen if you haven’t even decided that you want it or are going to do it?

I was recently reminded of this and realized that I spend a lot of time strategizing how something will work out BEFORE I’ve even made up my mind if it’s something I really want. What a waste of my creative energy.

You have to first get clear about what you want and then DECIDE! Many times people are half way committed and think “If it works out then it’s meant to be. ” Baloney! That is letting yourself off the hook once more and settling for mediocrity! (Yes, I’m a candid coach.)

Make the decision and the how will unfold. (Thanks Suzanne Evans for reminding me about this!)

Remember the three Cs in manifesting:

• Clarity – Get clear and decide. The how will unfold.
  
• Confidence – Have confidence that it will happen and happen to YOU.
  
• Courage – Have the courage to take new action to get new results. It takes courage to explore new paths.
  

My Favorite Tools for Manifesting:

Andrea Hess – Money Manifesting Mastery

Andrea is a master at using her passion and talents as the foundation for manifesting financial wealth. As a multiple six-figure intuitive, Andrea is a successful business woman and coaches other conscious entrepreneurs how to do the same.

Andrea was a favorite speaker at my Ignite Your Spark women’s conference in February 2010 and she is one of the experts I interviewed for my teleclass archive I offer my clients. I love her work!

Every time I listen to Andrea, I am reminded at the simplicity of creating abundance authentically. Download her free ebook to get started here.

Vision Journaling:

Take affirmations to a deeper level and use the practice of journaling in the present tense as if it’s already happened. Allow yourself to dream again and really go for it with this tool. For details on how to Vision Journal, you can download my ebook “5 Power Tools To Create Your Own Economy.”

Example (Old way to journal): I want to go to Hawaii with my husband Richard in October 2010.

Vision Journaling: It is October 4, 2010 and Richard and I are rested after arriving in Maui yesterday. As we open our balcony window, we hear the ocean crash against the beach right outside our resort room, which was the background noise throughout the night while we slept. It feels so good to be here with my sweetie. I love how it feels to have found the most perfect resort and they upgraded our room to a suite at no extra cost! And that is after we were upgraded for free to first class! How cool is that???!!! We are so excited to pick up our rental car in just a few minutes and go to the Seven Sacred Pools and hike around the waterfalls. We are coming back around 5 to get ready for the luau…

Ideal Life Vision:

Put your vision board and affirmations on steroids! Seriously!

I turned the above vision journal entry into a section in my Ideal Life Vision recording and guess what! My husband Richard and I are going to Maui on October 3, 2010 and most of the trip was paid for!!! I just had the intention to go to Hawaii in 2010 and had no idea the universe would orchestrate it in quite this way…it was so much better than I had anticipated!

Ideal Life Vision is like an audio version of your vision board. You take each area of your life and write about your ideal life in minute detail. You then record it in your voice to baroque music. What does this do? It literally programs your ideal life vision into your subconscious (thanks to hearing it in your own voice and to baroque music). You know when your unconscious thoughts change, your conscious thoughts change, your feelings change, your paradigm changes and you take different actions to get different results.

It works. Just 20 minutes a day while in your car or before you go to bed and you focus on your ideal life. What would change for you if you simply focused on your ideal life for just 20 minutes every day? Get details on Ideal Life Vision here.

Get a Coach:

So many times we attempt to do things by ourselves. Or we tell ourselves that we can’t afford a coach, or excuse after excuse.

I cannot imagine my life without my coaches. Yes, I have more than one. One focuses only on my business and I have others for personal, health and spiritual. Some of my coaches we have official contracts, I hire them and we work on a schedule for a specific period of time. I then rehire them for the next period if the previous goals were met and I still have something more to learn from them. With other coaches, we give reciprocal coaching to each other and I contact them periodically when I need something specific in their area of expertise.

Getting a coach, the right coach that is, will launch you into new directions with support and tools along the way. You get to your destination quicker and with less distractions and turbulence than if you were to attempt it on your own.

A few guidelines I use for working with a coach:

1. They have to have the same values that I have. I value integrity, accountability and energy/conscious creation are very much a part of my life. So I wouldn’t choose a coach who only went by the book. I choose a coach who is intuitive, who understands and lives the laws of the universe and is compassionate about making a difference for the world.
2. They have to have done what I want to do. Simply put, would you hire a personal fitness trainer if they had 100 pounds to lose? No. Would you hire a business coach who had a failing business? Probably not. The coaches I work with have already walked the path I’m about to walk so they can tell me which path to take and how to get to my destination. One thing to remember is that coaches are human too. They are always in a constant state of improving and enhancing their life and coaching practice.
3. I always, always, always get testimonials and referrals. If a coach is really that good, even if they are new into the official world of coaching, they will have testimonials and referrals that you can call. Working with a coach is an investment of your time and money, do your due diligence.

Vision Board:

What you visualize and focus on becomes the predominant thought patterns. Your thoughts become ideas and action, which create your results. Remember that persistence and timing are key.

Want to know more about your vision board? Contact my friend and business coach Heather Laughter. She is a certified Vision Board analyst and will share with you insights and clarity about what can possibly be blocking your manifesting ability. Your fixed beliefs will come out when you put your vision board together. And don’t worry, this isn’t something where you have to redo your vision board, you can leave it the way it is. You simply add a layer of conscious repatterning on top of the unconscious beliefs that are visible in your vision board.

There is power in group energy, especially when it comes to creating what you want. Who is your cheerleading section for your life? Do you have people around you to hold the space for what you are creating?
