Checklist to manifesting what you want
A successful manifestation process doesn’t come about by accident or only happen to lucky people. A manifestation project that works is one that follows a predictable road map. Here’s a simple checklist to set up and track your conscious manifestation steps:
- Uncover the limiting belief that’s getting you your current results. Your life results, circumstances, and environments are direct expressions of your subconscious beliefs. What belief would you need to have to get what you’re getting currently?
- Discover your purpose state. Your purpose state is a way of being in the world that’s unique to you. When you feel most like yourself, what does that feel like in your body?
- Create your authentic intentions. Feel into your embodied purpose state and then ask yourself what you truly want and how it serves others.
- Look for enlightened opportunities. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to get closer to what you intend to manifest. Be aware that the most powerful opportunities often look like challenges!
- Create a new empowered belief. What belief would you need to have in order to manifest your authentic intention?
- Take aligned actions. Different life results require taking different actions. The more aligned your actions are with your authentic intentions, the more magical your manifestations will be.
- Navigate subconscious resistance. This is where the rubber meets the road! If you don’t experience at least some resistance, you really aren’t changing anything important. Find tools and strategies to keep moving forward while being kind to yourself.
- Collect evidence of your manifestation. Look for and write down signs that your manifestation is getting closer. You may need to enlist a friend to help you see what you can’t see for yourself.
- Validate your new self. New manifestations come as a result of new beliefs. Take a moment to reflect on how your beliefs and perceptions have changed in manifesting your authentic intentions.
- Celebrate your manifestation. Pause, honor, and have gratitude for the process you’ve gone through, what you’ve brought into being, and who you’ve become!
