“Manifest” is a relatively new word for me – only in the past couple of years have I taken notice of that word and now it’s one of my favorites!
In the woo woo world it seems to mean to make things appear but the official definition is: “display or show (a quality or feeling) by one’s acts or appearance; demonstrate.”
My left brain / right brain battle needs evidence of the meaning on both sides. To me it means when you want something and then you make it happen.
Before I even knew what the word was, I realized I was able to manifest some crazy things. The way I see it is like this:
- You start with a strong desire for something
- You think about it as if it’s already happened – almost to an obsessive point but in a joyful way
- You take inspired action because you believe it’s going to happen
- Crazy coincidences happen along the way
- Your desire is manifested!
Sounds fun, right? Here are 2 favorite examples from my own life:
Back in 2008 when we were living in FL I made the final decision that we were going to finally move back home to NY – NO MATTER WHAT! I did everything in preparation – found a realtor to sell our house, painted, staged and packed up our house for moving, and a million other things along the way. I was completely unstoppable! Within a couple of weeks of having our house up for sale, we got a cash buyer AND a 3 bedroom apartment became available in my sister’s building back in NY for us to move into. Amazing!
My second favorite story was a couple of years ago when I decided I wanted to be in my first NYC gallery show for my photography work. I joined a program with B&H Photo for portfolio development with the hopes of my work being chosen for the gallery show. The program lasted about 6 months and I took all the steps necessary that were part of the program. The photo shoots that I did at that time were my most creative and most fun to date. Coincidentally, during that time I won a printer and a pack of the exact paper that I needed to print my work to submit to the gallery. My work was selected and I had my first gallery show in NYC!
I love practicing my manifesting skills which is why I’m so excited for Denise Duffield Thomas‘ 5 Day Manifesting Challenge starting today!
