How to Manifest + Getting Started Part ✌🏻

In part one, I left off on honing in on one goal, organizing and decluttering your life, and prioritizing what you want. I want to start by elaborating a little bit more on my first post + talking about the forms of manifesting.

The author talks about 2 forms of manifesting within this book. This was a great visual for me because I am someone who gets caught in between each of these forms of manifesting.

1.) Receiving 🤲🏻

OR

2.) Creating 👩🏻‍🎨

Sounds self-explanatory, but there’s always more to what meets the eye. The author did a great job of helping me to understand where I fall off when manifesting my goals.

🟣 Receiving, in manifesting is the act of being dependent on the universe to give you want. There isn’t much clarity, structure, or any intention (although it seems like it).

For example, I want a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 500 4matic. or expecting one to just pop up in my life, doing a little bit of research, wanting it some more, and the act of being open to it coming into my life.

🟣 Creating is the act of being in the creator role, and optimizing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual space to build consistency with your manifesting practice.

An example of this would be:

I want to be a digital marketer, work with content creation and branding, and build my art business.

So, I am putting my energy into researching how I can go about being a digital marketer, being as if I am one, creating content, following through with my daily routines, and holding myself accountable to be within the energy of creation. Alongside, digital marketing, I’m creating art again. Doing this with purpose and remaining at a steady enough pace for myself to not become overwhelmed. (While I have since slowed down on my Art Business, I am still creating digitally in Procreate and painting canvasses in my free time. I needed to understand and hone in on one thing, and content creation/digital marketing is my ONE ultimate goal right now.)

Side note, the author calls your ultimate goal, your #1, your “Chief Aim” = what you are setting out to achieve, your main focus.

The author says, “If you know what your Chief Aim is, it’s your responsibility to incorporate it into your current reality. You can’t always expect reality to change to accommodate you. “

They then go on to explain how it can be contradictory to what we may have been taught in life. Some individuals were taught to wait for the inspiration to come, others manifested their dreams without even being aware. I fell into what the world showed me when I was growing up, As I mentioned a bit in part one, I saw the “normal” in the world and thought “I have to do these things, no I don’t think so”, while eventually saying this time after time, I eventually gave into what society showed me because I thought “This must be what everyone does, work, sleep, eat, repeat..”

I feel much of what I know and see is fast-paced, with many shiny distractions in front of us. Like overnight successes, or putting in the work and the “hustle” and by “hustle” I mean overworking yourself and ignoring your needs, that is not healthy don’t do that. We do balance and harmony here and appreciate living in the present moment. ✨

Anyway, that is where the distraction, illusion, and shiny object syndrome come into play. The outside world will distract you. I still find myself getting distracted but I have built up a resistance and a pivot technique to steer myself away from that mentality.

The point is, that life will throw curve balls at you, I look at them as signs you’re veering a little bit too far off your path from your goals. Viewing them as signs from the universe has allowed me to gain and open up more with my spirituality as well. 😊

Distraction and shiny objects lead me to talk about synchronicity. Synchronicity is a connection between you and your body and sometimes your surroundings. It’s a beautiful topic, but I find it hard to explain, so I’ve added a great definition that I resonate with from an article online from Mind, Body, and Green Mindfulness:

“From a spiritual perspective, synchronicity is a tangible form of divine guidance. "To me," Tipton explains, "synchronicity suggests that there is something in the cosmos that is interested in our development, something that understands what is lacking in our conscious view, and the entire universe then becomes a beautiful mechanism for reminding us of our wholeness."

When you can find your focus and develop a heart-mind synchronicity, you are on your way to manifesting in the creating practice. Finding a reality where my heart and mind reach for my current beliefs, interests, and strengths = Chief Aim. Associating the heart with anticipation and the mind with believability is an excellent opportunity to focus on your Chief Aim, as described throughout the book.

Some questions that can help create clarity to begin thinking more of your Chief Aim are:

💜 What is the one goal that can lead me to actualize all my goals and desires?

💜 What is the one responsibility that will streamline everything?

Here are some of the exercises from Chapter 1 on believability and anticipation and deciding what your Chief Aim will be. These are measures for your goals. *These are directly from the book, “Focused Manifesting II Laws of Manifestation to Master your Mind and Attention” (gotta credit your source, plus they deserve the free marketing!)

*remember anticipation has to do with the excitement that comes to mind when manifesting what you desire, so if it’s the highest score on your list then that = the most exciting goal/dream. The second measure is believability, which is the level of belief you have in your goal and your ability to accomplish it. Big dreams are great, I’m a huge dreamer, but I also like to believe that I have to be realistic sometimes before getting to the bigger part of that dream. Prioritize believable goals. Then you can pick your Chief Aim based on a desire that’s exciting and believable.

🟣 Defining Goals - Write down all of the goals you have for the next year.

🟣 Anticipation Score - From 1-10, rate each goal with the level of anticipation you have for its result. How excited are you about this?

🟣 Believability Score - From 1-10, rate each goal with your believability level for its achievement. How much do you believe you can achieve this?

🟣 Defining your Chief Aim - Write down all of the goals that ranked the highest, then pick one to define your Chief Aim.

🟣 Defining Maintenance and Back-Burner Goals - Write down a list of goals you need to maintain and write down a list of goals you need to put on the back-burner.

I can make a Pt. 3 if anyone is interested, I tend to be a lengthy explainer and I hope that these two parts have been helpful in your manifesting journey.💜
