If you know how to make it work for you.
You have probably heard about words of affirmation and how they effectively contribute to improving your mental health. However, words of affirmation are not enough to manifest your dreams, goals, or wishes.
Manifestation is seeing things you have thought of and visualized become your reality. Before you can manifest anything, some practices build up to make those dreams, visions, or goals a reality. Without those practices, you may keep wishing and wanting for things that may never become your reality.
The truth is that manifestation involves more than strong willpower, determination, and positive thinking. There are things to do, and if you are wondering if manifestations work, they do (to a large extent).
I must say that one of the most important things about manifestation is that it must be accompanied by patience. You cannot rush the universe.
First things first.
Manifestation only happens when what is in your mind is brought to life. Thinking about it for years keeps it as a dream, a vision, or a wish. For those dreams to manifest, you need to do certain things.
Speak life into your goals.
When you speak things out into the universe, you alert the universe that something needs to exist. It is like naming something that is nameless. Your vision, dream, or goals are thoughts and ideas in your mind and will remain so until you start manifesting them.
Give your dreams form.
You give your goals, dreams, and visions form when you write them down. Journaling is a great way to do this. It gives you clarity about your goals and helps you have a clearer path to manifesting those dreams. You can start with this guide to journaling to help you navigate giving your dreams and vision form.
Set S.M.A.R.T goals.
As you journal everything, remember that you are trying to manifest certain things at certain times. Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely goals will ensure you are concise in your manifestation journey. It shows you know exactly what you want, how, and when you want it.
breaks it down perfectly in this post.Get into action.
Your dreams, visions, and goals have received life, and taken form, but they need you to walk into them for them to manifest. Even the Bible says that faith without work is dead. To ensure your goals manifest, you must do the work required to draw them to you. If you want to manifest love, you have to go out or connect with people else, your dream of happily ever after will remain a romantic story in your journal. It is not enough to think and write, you have to do.
That laptop is not for Netflix and chill alone. Make it work for you.
Build a positive mindset.
Probably the most difficult for most, but essential for the journey ahead. A positive mindset will guide you on a positive trajectory. Even on the bad days, you can ground yourself with positive affirmations that remind you of your S.M.A.R.T goals and positive thinking sets you up to attract positive impacts.
As you journey into manifesting your goals, remember these:
Do not focus only on materialistic gains.
You cannot manifest without taking action.
You cannot overlook the inner work of yourself.
Stay positive but avoid instant expectations.
Words of affirmation do not mean losing sight of reality.
There is no fixed duration of the process, it might happen quickly for some and take a while for others.
You can manifest your dreams because they are yours.
Appreciate the shout, Sprenko. The SMART framework really forces you to think through your goals in a critical way save leads to much not positive outcomes.
Manifesting is a concept that seems like wizardry but when you put it into these terms and lay it out in this way, it becomes tangible.
It becomes a map to begin working towards achieving your desires. And even in manifestation, it's all about the work.
