There is a lot of change happening in my life this year.  My mind is focused, my belief is strong... I have action steps in place.

What am I manifesting right now?  Wow, how to articulate it? 

My husband, TheGuy, and I are selling everything we own to run away from home to live on a 54' sailboat in the Mediterranean Sea.

Well, what does it mean to 'manifest'? It means to bring something into existence within your life.

I want a very specific boat. I am bringing it to my life mentally every day. I have the boat on everything around me.  it's like a perpetual vision board.

It's on my phone, my computer screens, my ipad screen. I see it everyday.  It's even on my 'running away from home'  countdown background image. 

We spent time, physically, on this boat two different times, for a total of about 30 hours. 

So every day I can take a moment and envision myself there.  While I am standing in the kitchen of my house, I envision that I am cooking in the beautiful galley of the boat.  

When I wake in the morning, before fully waking, I pretend I am enveloped in the luxurious walk-around bed of the stateroom.  In those moments i can feel the gentle rocking of the waves and hear in my mind the clanking of the main halyard on the mast.  I can smell the ocean.

We create our reality whether consciously or unconsciously.   The problem isn’t learning how to manifest, we do it all the time. The true challenge is rather how we can manifest consciously so we bring our true desire to fruition.  So we don’t feel powerless and like we’re dependent on luck or some external factor to bring us the life we want.

We always get what we manifest. If you are tired of getting what you don’t want then it’s time to make unconscious manifestation more conscious.

Have you ever had a goal so big, so audacious, that you knew only God could help you reach it?  That is where I am at.

How about you?  What incredible thing are you manifesting in your life right now???

Or are you somehow unable to put your mind there? Is something holding you back?

As adults, we place some pretty hefty limitations on our imaginations.  When we were children, our imaginations knew no bounds, right?  We need to teach ourselves to limit that freedom of thought a lot less, to be more child-like in our thinking.

Here are 9 powerful steps to manifest the life you deserve and desire:

Have a vision coupled with strong desire   

You need to know exactly where you wish to go. You need a focused end point so you know what path to take and what it will look like when you arrive.

Have a detailed vision that moves you and each time you think about it, you'll feel powerful and joy-filled.

Gain control of your emotions

Remember that emotions lead to perspectives which lead to the universe flowing with you.  Be mindful that your emotions are leading to the perspectives you desire.

Intention is important  

Conscious manifestation is all about intention.  Intention gives a clear direction to your desire. By being focused, you say to the energy where it should go. Every dream needs a certain amount of energy to manifest in a physical reality. This is where focus and intention play a major role.

Practice faithful belief

Do you understand how important your belief are to conscious manifestation?  If you lack the belief that it can be yours, that belief will be the stopper that blocks the manifestation. Be honest with yourself.   Strengthen your belief.  When you accept your belief and that it’s true for yourself and you can have it, it will align your actions. When you believe it is what should be in your life, the universe will bring it to you.

Allow yourself to deserve it

Accept that you deserve what you desire.   What you will find is the energy and mindset to create the circumstances that your desire needs.  Accept that it’s already yours. Don’t focus on reasons why it may not work out.  Instead surrender yourself to your desire and fully accept it in your life. We each deserve so much.

Take an aligned action

Align your actions with your goal.   By doing what you would be doing as if it already yours.  A strong belief coupled with specified action lets the universe know you are ready for the thing, whatever that thing may be.  

Absolute detachment  

It's an interesting paradigm.  While we need to control our action steps and our emotions, we need to know how to stay in our lane.  It is not part of the process for us to control everything around us.  We need to have awareness that we are in control of our actions and emotions.  Then, we need to acquiesce control of everything else.   

Support yourself

Reality only reflects back to you your own support. If you feel the Universe has forgotten your dreams then look at the way you are supporting your dreams. By withdrawing from your dreams, you create the kind of reality that pushes your dreams away from you.

Be as clear as a laser beam

The ‘’ideal’’ effortless and conscious manifestation should look like a laser beam. Laser beam is 100% focused on one goal with all its energy and purity. We have to be certain and focused just as the laser beam is. If there is anything holding you back from believing or focusing on your goal, it will be what stops your manifestation.  

In the beginning, use short periods of time to express total and complete belief.  

Small, sure changes will bring about long-term growth.   

When we are completely focused, the action steps needed become clear.  Our path becomes obvious.  

You need to take conscious control of manifesting instead of defaulting according to your old beliefs.   Don't settle for a default life

Create new beliefs.  Guide your thoughts, emotions and visualization.  Feel the delight of watching what you imagine become reality.  

 I am working diligently to control my processes.  I am taking action every day regardless if the path is clear.  

I am moving towards realizing my dream. Why, you may ask?

Because I know I deserve this!
