Effortless Expansion Episode #035: How To Manifest in 4 Easy Steps

Let me start off by acknowledging that there are SO many resources out there to teach you about manifestation.

I’m not here to tell you that manifestation is going to be hard, that it takes years to master, or that you’re going to have to memorize a very specific sequence of steps in order to make it work (if you’re lucky.)

I’m here to remind you that you innately know manifestation.

You were born knowing how to manifest and you’ve been doing it your entire life whether you realize it or not.

You're constantly bringing things into your current reality, experiencing the opposite of what you want, and getting clarity on what you do want.

You don’t need help with that part.

For a moment, let’s forget about all the tools you’ve learned, all the rules you’ve followed and all the buzzwords you were told to use.

The truth is, we’ve been overcomplicating the manifestation process.

It’s like trying to vacuum the kid’s playroom while tidying it up at the same time.

There are toys everywhere and you’re trying to organize things but you realize you probably need to just invest in an entire new organization system for the playroom and that stresses you out to think about so then you get back to vacuuming.

The vacuum doesn’t seem to be working well so you start to clean the brushroll and then you find yourself watching YouTube videos about how to deep clean your vacuum and after a few hours the vacuum is in pieces, there is dust everywhere, toys still everywhere and nothing has gotten done.

Please tell me I am not the only one!

We do this with manifestation.

We buy a book, take a course, start journaling, buy a bunch of magazines and supplies to make a vision board and the list goes on.

We get distracted and frustrated, trying to do too much at once and it feels like we aren’t making any progress at all.

Can you relate?

What if it could be simple?

What if it was meant to be simple?

I think you know what I’m going to say next.

It is simple.

I’ll walk you through exactly what I did to manifest my dream car, my second home in Florida, and so much more.

First, I think about what I want.

You need to get clear on what you want before you can even come close to manifesting it.

Do you want a red car, a blue car, a green car?

Do you want white seats, black seats, red seats?

Do you want to be married? Do you want to be single for the rest of your life?

Do you want to be a mom? Do you not want to be a mom?

Do you want to have three kids? Four kids? No kids?

Got it? Great.

Next ask yourself why you want it.

This is important. This will help to weed out any inauthentic desires.

If you want it to keep up with your picture perfect neighbors, be honest with yourself.

Desires that we attempt to manifest for the wrong reasons are not worth it, trust me.

For the record, if the answer to why you want it is simply because you want it, that’s enough.

It doesn’t have to be a super deep reason.

It can be, of course, but the point here is to make sure it is aligned with you at your core.

Next, I think about what I want. Often.

Look, I know this sounds simple but our brain can trick us into believing that we are thinking about what we want but actually we are thinking about NOT getting what we want. We think about what would happen if we didn’t get it.

Stay with me.

Think about how good it is going to feel to get that thing. Let’s roll with the car example.

It's going to feel so good when I drive this green car.

I want this green car.

Oh my goodness.

I can feel the peace of mind I will have as I drive it across the country because it's brand new.

It smells new.

The heat works like a champ.

Let yourself go on a rampage. Embody it fully.

Imagine what your hair will look like, what outfit you will wear to go pick it up, and what scent you’ll have on.

Feel the steering wheel beneath your hands.

This is the game of manifestation and I’m telling you how to win it.
