How To Manifest The Life You Want! (FAST)
Hi, my name is Natalie Ledwell. I'm the founder of Mindmovies.com and the bestselling author of Never In Your Wildest Dreams. Today, I'm going to be talking about how to manifest the life that you want.
When we look at the future that we want to create, or the life that we want to create, and we want to manifest some amazing, beautiful, gorgeous things in our life, there is actually a system that we can follow that allows us to do that. There's some simple steps that I'm going to share with you today on how you can manifest anything that you want in your life.
The first step is that you need to set an intention. What is an intention? Well, an intention is basically a statement that you write and then recite each day, which is your way of telling yourself, and the universe, or God, and everyone around you that no matter what, your intention is to create this specific thing in your life.
How To Create Intentions
So what I normally recommend is that your intention, it can be two sentences. The first one is stating what it is that you want. You want to use as many descriptive words as you can, and you want to talk about what it is that you want to create without being too specific.
For example, you might say, "I have an outrageously successful business," rather than going, "I have a coaching business that I only coach 50 year old women who've got some kind of eating disorder and they have to live in a certain region of the world."
We don't want to narrow down our our options, but we want to remain open because when we say something like - I have an outrageously successful business - it really opens up our options to have whatever we perceive we're going to create, or something better, this or something better.
So I have an outrageously successful business. I have a loving and supporting relationship, love relationship. I have optimal health.
Describing the first sentence - what it is that you want. And then the second sentence normally starts with, "this enables me to" and then you say, "why you want to do this?" Why do you want to have optimal health?
Maybe it's because you want to be able to play more with the kids. And you want to have more energy to spend time with your family. If you want an outrageously successful business, maybe you want to create financial success for yourself so that you can donate to charities or that you can create a better life for you and your family.
If you're looking at creating this loving, supporting relationship, it's because you really want to enhance the relationship that you have and maybe travel the world and share that with someone that you truly love.
So two sentences: what it is that you want and why do you want it?
Write It... See It
Once you have this, what I recommend is writing it out, sticking it on the mirror so that each morning when you wake up, you can go into the bathroom, look at yourself in the eye, in the mirror, and state your intention. You can even start your intention with "no matter what, I am creating an outrageously successful business" or whatever it is that you want to create.
The first step is set your intention. The second step is to let go of what doesn't serve you. So anything that's in your life that is sabotaging you, or stopping you, or hindering you from being able to create the life that you want, it's time to keep house and get rid of these things.
Some of the most common things that you want to look to keep an eye out for are things like negative thinking.
Now, we all have our negative programming. We have our limiting beliefs that we've picked up along the way. When these things come up, make sure that you are aware of them. Normally they love to rear their ugly heads when we're actually taking action towards our goal.
When you get very clear about what it is you want and why you want it, when you've set your intention, this also can bring to the surface some of this negative thinking that we have.
What I recommend is that you write out these thoughts, get them out of your head, get them onto paper so that you can acknowledge that you're actually thinking these thoughts and then start to choose the thoughts you want to think instead.
Stop The Negative Patterns
When these negative thoughts come up just quickly, as you get used to it, you'll go, "Nope." Stop it in a track. "This is not what I'm thinking anymore." Change it to the thoughts, the positive fields that you do want to think that are in alignment with the goal that you want to create.
You also want to be careful about people in your life that are toxic or energy drainers. Maybe they're friends, workmates, family members. Maybe it's a little bit too difficult to get away from them, but be aware of the people that are in your peripheral that are really hindering you from being successful.
Now, a lot of the times, these people just want to keep you safe. They are working from their own limiting beliefs and their own paradigms and so they want to make sure that they're looking after you.
A lot of the times what they say, if it's a negative, it's not from malice. It's just because they're inside their comfort zone and they want you to be there as well.
They really want to kind of look out for you. But be aware to minimize the time that you spend around people like this. The other thing that you want to look at is attachment.
And when I say attachment, I mean attachment to the way you think things are going to happen. So when it comes to manifesting and applying the Law of Attraction, how it's going to happen is not our job.
Our job is to be very clear about what it is that we want, why we want it, and we want to start taking action towards that. As we do that, how it's going to happen will show up. Now, in saying that you're going to be taking action in a certain direction, you don't want to be attached to that being the only direction that you're going to be able to take to be able to create your goals.
You want to be open to the other opportunities and the meetings and the people that you're going to come across that can help you get there. That may not be the way you think.
How To Manifest The Life You Want: Affirmations
So be really careful about being too attached to a certain way that it's going to happen. Now, the next thing we want to do, number three, is to use affirmations.
The reason we use affirmations is because we want to make sure that the language that we're using with ourselves, with our subconscious mind, with the universe, is positive language.
We want to make sure that we're using the right words. So, things like "I am debt-free" is not an affirmation or "I am pain-free" is not an affirmation, because what happens with that is that our brain focuses on the word pain or the word debt. All it does is attract more to us.
Now, remember our affirmations also help us feel what it's like to already be there. They conjure up pictures in our subconscious mind of what we want to create.
When I say the word pain, or if I say the word debt, what is it that you see in your mind? We want to be able to make sure that we're focusing on optimal health, that we're focusing on being financially free or financially company.
We also want to start as many affirmations as we can with "I am" rather than "I want." "I want" is really us being, "I want this." We're always in a place of wanting or wishing, but if "I am," or "I'm doing," or "I have", it means that it's present tense. It's easier for us to support ourselves in our mind, in that present moment.
Now, if you want to go deeper on this subject, which I will be doing, I'm actually going to be sharing a lot more secrets or many more secrets on how to create powerful affirmations in the next video I'm going to do. So keep an eye out for that because that's coming soon.
How To Manifest The Life You Want: Visualize
Once you have your affirmation, step four is to visualize. You need to be able to see yourself already living this life, already having this goal, already being in this dream.
You need to know what it looks like, what it feels like to actually be there. Now, the more often you play this visualization in your mind, what happens is that it starts to create these new neural pathways in our brain. A subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between what we see through our eyes and what we play as a repetitive movie in our mind.
The more often that we do that, the more our subconscious mind goes, "Oh, wait a minute. This is my new reality." A new neural pathway start to form more positive thoughts. Start to go from the subconscious mind to our conscious mind, then you find that everything is easier.
You start to naturally make better choices; great decisions that are all in alignment with this future that your subconscious mind thinks that you're already living. When you're doing a visualization, another little key thing is to make sure you elicit as many senses as you can.
Actually put yourself in the scene, feel what it's like. What are you feeling? What are you tasting? What are you hearing? Use all of the senses that you can to make it as real as possible to trick your subconscious mind.
How To Manifest The Life You Want: Gratitude
Step number five is to show gratitude. Gratitude is one of these higher frequency emotions that is the same frequency as abundance. The more we can be in a state of gratitude, and grateful for what we have, grateful for what's to come, then what happens is that we're at this higher residence which means that we're inviting more of it into us.
We're at the frequency, which is a vibrational match of the things that we need to be able to attract and to make this dream come true. To really sit in a vibration and an emotion of gratitude as often as possible is really important.
Now, a little trick that you might use is to set up a little reminder on your phone or a little alarm that goes off so that during the day, at a random time, when this alarm comes through, you can kind of stop, be grateful for something in that moment. Look around you. That really helps to raise your vibration as well.
Step number six is to be open to the universe. What that means is once we're doing all of these other steps and we're in the right vibration for this thing, this dream, and this reality that we want to come through, stay open to all the other options and all the other chance meetings and people that we meet that are going to help us get there.
Remember we want to release our attachment to how we think it's going to happen and be open to how the universe is going to serve us and to be able to send this to us. The more comfortable we can be with the surprise, with the excitement of we don't know what's happening; we can surrender to the universe in a way that we go, "you know what I know you've got my back."
I know that whatever happens is going to be for my highest good; the more we can be more comfortable in that, the easier it is for us to open up that flow between us and the universe and for those things to come through.
These are just a few easy tips on how to get started or to maintain your Law of Attraction lifestyle. Intention, visualization, being open and showing gratitude ,and using your affirmations.
