Week 46 - Manifestation

I spent this week in Italy! A friend I made in Costa Rica got married in Puglia, Italy and I had the honour of attending.  It was a very life affirming moment for me. I met her last October on my 3rd night in CR. If you’ve been a long time reader, you’ll remember the very random birthday party I was invited to and it ended up being a party of all coaches. Well one of those coaches became a good friend of mine.

The wedding itself was literally the most breathtaking event I have ever been to. It was the perfect manifestation of my friend’s dream wedding. I knew what she wanted and to see if come to life so perfectly was literally nothing short of magic. It was the power of manifestation.

And it feels like our friendship is the perfect manifestation of my desires to surround myself with the most inspiring people that have no limits. That dream big, love big and create big.

There was literally not a dry eye at this wedding. It was so overwhelmingly magical that even my boyfriend who doesn’t know this couple well and who I’ve only seen shed a tear one time in 4 years, even he cried. My friend manifested the man of her dreams and then manifested the wedding of her dreams to celebrate their love in the MOST authentic way I’ve ever seen.

It really struck me how they exude love, are daring enough to be exactly who they are in the face of crazy family, and didn’t compromise on anything to make other people comfortable.

I actually broke down balling at the wedding. People were like ‘umm….are you OK?’ And I couldn’t even explain what was happening because it was all too overwhelming. To think how it’s possible to change your life so quickly and manifest exactly what you dream of is overwhelming.

So this week I wanted to talk a little bit about manifestation

It’s thrown around a lot but what does it really mean and how do you even do it?

Manifesting is about creating. But how do we create? Well most of us think it’s about doing - doing things to create what we want. Taking action. And yes, that is part of it, but it’s actually the last and smallest part of it. That is why we have it all backwards in our society that is OBSESSED with doing and being productive. All that does is keeps us too busy to take the actual important steps in the manifestation process, which are: Intention, visualization, beliefs, thoughts, words AND THEN action.

You see, your life is merely your mental images and your imagination expressed into physical things. More accurately, it is the manifestation into the physical world of the visions, good and bad, that you believe in most, consciously and unconsciously.

We create all experiences first in our being (like our state of being), then in our thoughts via the mind, then in our words and then by our actions. No experience can happen outside of being, thoughts and words.  In fact, acting only puts into place the system necessary to receive and experience what you create in being, thinking and speaking.

Action makes it possible to receive what is coming your way from your intentions.

That’s the kicker! Here we are out here doing a whole bunch of shit, feeling like there’s never enough time to get it all done, and yet the need to do more. And we’re exhausted. And we don’t feel wealthy or maybe not happy either. It’s because we’ve got it all wrong.

We need to pause the doing so that we can spend time on the being part: the intention, visualization and belief part.

The world will only show you that which you can imagine and believe. So that’s where we need to start.

For my friend it was about loving someone fully, loving their essence and their ego, and receiving that same love back. And let me tell ya…she got exactly that!

For me it was about creating a life as a full-time coach, traveling the world, meeting incredibly cool people, building a new community and expanding myself. That I am! And it started with intention, belief, visualization, speaking it and then taking action.

And that’s how I ended up in Italy for a week :) 🇮🇹🍝

So I’d like for you to take a pause as you read this, and I want you to set an intention for this week.

Let’s start small.

What do you want to be able to say about yourself by Friday night?
Set that intention.
And now visualize it: What would it look like. Who is around. What are wearing. How are you breathing.

Write down this intention, bonus points if you share it out loud with someone (remember the step of speaking?) and then take action.

Rinse and repeat this each day for the rest of the week.

Set an intention, visualize it, write it down, take action.

Have an abundant week! ✨
