Are you feeling good?
Do you feel your best?
Are you feeling in flow?
Are you living your best life aligned and on purpose?
When we feel good, we vibrate at a higher frequency and that’s when the universe responds to us. What you put out there is what you will get back. We call this the “Law of Attraction.”
You’ll be amazed at what you attract after you start believing in what you deserve.
The universe listens.
Your thoughts create your reality. What you feel you will attract.
Be mindful of what you are saying as this energy transforms to create whatever you want or don’t want.
“The standard of success in life is not the money or the stuff – the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel” – Esther and Jerry Hicks
In the last 51/2 years, I have been on my own personal journey of transformation. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of triggers that I have had to heal and continue to heal at a soul level. Many people along the way have asked me what does this looks like? My answer is that it’s not just one healing or quick-fix ritual with a spiritual guru or reiki master. It takes consistent effort, a daily commitment and discipline to show up no matter what each and every single day, even when you don’t feel like it. Most importantly, it is to know your worth and to love yourself enough at the core to care about your wellbeing. When your mind, body and spirit are working in harmony, that’s when we feel our best.
This journey we are on is full of different experiences and in order to get from where you are to where you want to be, it starts with you! Change starts with you, it starts within. Nobody is responsible for your happiness or outcome. You have to take 100% responsibility. It’s about choosing how you respond, healing at a soul level and playing the victor, not the victim, in this game called life.
You attract who you are, not what you want.
So, I ask you today – how are you really actually feeling?
How are you showing up every day?
Feeling good about yourself is the secret. It’s that simple. However, in reality, it is not always that easy. What I have learned is that when we can take any negative situation and look at it thru the lens of love, turning it into a positive this is what keeps our vibration and energy high, and this, in turn, will work for us and our highest good. It may not present itself in the timeframe we would like, but we have to have faith that what we desire and already exists. Trusting the outcome. The Universe has your back.
I chose to affirm what I wanted not only by visualization but also by being grateful for what I already had and then writing it down daily.
Ask it is given the universe listens literally played out in my life this year and it can do the same in yours.
Here are my Top 10 Tips on how to manifest what you ask for:
Vision – be crystal clear on what you want and what you don’t want to create for your life. Create a vision board of pictures, quotes, affirmations that depict this reality, or create a keepsake box where you can add these photos into. I love to even create a wallpaper as a screensaver on my mobile phone, so I can see it all the time.
Be grateful for what you already have – appreciation is the highest level of frequency.
Daily Habits - show up and work on yourself daily. This includes self-care rituals like meditation, breath work, journaling, prayer, listening to inspirational podcasts, audios, or personal development books to expand your mind, body and spirit.
Virtual Reality – visualize a positive pleasant experience and practice aligning your vibration to your desires. Imagine yourself thriving and feeling your best. Focus on the location, the people, the smell, the sights, the sounds and how good you feel.
Connect to Source, Divine, God, Nature whatever works for you. Like a mobile phone needs to be charged every day to work at optimum, so do we. This is a great way to tame the ego and be more heart-centered as we go about our day.
Choose your thoughts - be mindful of what you speak. The ego loves to be in control so learn to quieten that inner critic that sabotages you.
Forgiveness – let go of what no longer serves you.
Decide – change starts with you. It’s up to you, nobody else to create your best life. Decide what you would like to experience and believe it’s possible for you, own it, feel it, see it, believe it, then you will receive it.
Allow Abundance – instead of earning it, allow it. Your actions aren’t the cause of abundance. Your abundance is in response to your vibration.
Love yourself and believe you are worthy of what you want.
Some great positive affirmations I like to use include:
“I allow the Universe to surprise with new positive experiences”
“If I put my mind to it, I achieve it”
“I am a magnet of miracles”
In conclusion, I challenge you to consider your thoughts and feelings. You are not defined by your past, circumstances, events, people or situations. You have the inner strength to create your own reality and life that you so truly are worthy and deserving of. You are here to heal, grow, learn and expand and by so doing attract all the magnificent positive things into your life that already exist. It’s yours for the taking. You can absolutely achieve your dreams and manifest what you heart desires. Believe it. Believe in you. Ask for it. Allow, have faith and trust the process. The universe listens.
