39: Manifestaction

Is it possible to manifest without taking action? Can you get too specific in manifesting? And why in the world do we talk ourselves out of manifesting our biggest dreams? 

In this episode, Lauren and I talk about manifestaction, what it is, how to do it, and what happens when life doesn't go exactly as you planned. If you've ever had questions about manifesting and how or when to take action, this episode is for you.

What is manifestaction?

Manifesting is intentionally creating what you want to happen in life, but manifesting also needs to involve action. To manifest, be specific about what you want and then ask that it happen in the kindest, most gentle way possible.  Have the vision -- get clear about what you want -- then act on it the best way you know how. Manifestation is not about "the thing" you want, but about the energy around it - your vibe and thinking.

In my life, I asked how I could reach more women. Not long after that, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which I saw as my way to reach more women. It's important to remember that many good things come because of pain, suffering, and hardship.

Why do we talk ourselves out of our dreams?

We women can easily talk ourselves out of pursuing our dreams, especially those money-related dreams. Here are some tips in manifesting what you really want:

• It's important to understand your motive behind your manifestation. You must know your "why."
• When you struggle with understanding why you are so blessed when others aren't, remember that you may be blessed with good things so you can bless others.
• Ask yourself what lies you're telling yourself.
• Believe in yourself and then things will happen.
• Remember that negativity attract negativity. Ask yourself what's going on in your life that's making you feel negative.
• Make a promise to yourself not to worry. Instead, turn that worry into an action phrase, "Today, I'm going to …"

Can we get too specific in our manifesting?

Lauren wonders if as she's manifesting for a new partner, if she's being a strong woman or just being nit-picky. How can you tell the difference?

• Ask yourself, "What's real vs. reel?"
• Manifest about how you want to feel when you're with someone vs. the specific looks or job of that person.
• Manifest how you want your life to look when you're with that person.
• Think about what qualities are most important to you.

Final thoughts on manifestaction

Manifesting may not take the form you thought.  Listen when the universe answers, and pay attention to how the answer shows up.
