Manifesting Abundance with Intention Setting
Manifestation isn’t about sitting on your couch, binging your favorite show, and hoping money rains from the sky (though, how amazing would that be?). It’s a serious-but-fun way to tell the universe what you want, like a cosmic Amazon order, but you’ve got to do the work, too. No two-day shipping here, folks.
Start with Clarity
Step one: figure out what it is you actually want. “Abundance” is cute, but let’s get specific. Is it money? Love? Unlimited snacks? Write it down, but don’t just write “I want to be rich.” No, no, no! Try “I am so rich I don’t even bother checking my bank account balance before swiping that card anymore!” Sounds better, right? Not only is it more fun, but it also makes you feel like the boss you are. It's also more specific. Manifesting works best when you're specific!
Visualize with Feeling
This is where you get to play pretend, but in the best way. Close your eyes and imagine you’ve already got the life you want. Picture your dream house, dream car, or dream life, and really get into it. Feel the excitement, hear the applause, maybe even taste the champagne (or mocktail, no judgment). Emotions amplify your energy, and let’s be real, if you’re not smiling while doing this, are you sure what you're asking for is what you really want?
Enhance Your Practice with Tools
Sure, you can manifest with just your mind, but why not add some flair? Light a green or gold candle (feeling fancy, right?) and set the mood. Place green aventurine or citrine crystals nearby because, these little rocks are wealth magnets (visit the store to find a bunch of them!!) As for affirmations? Keep it simple but sassy: “I am a money magnet” or “Opportunities love me so much they’re like my Instagram followers.” Say it like you mean it!
Take Inspired Action
The universe might be magical, but it’s not your personal assistant. You still have to do the stuff! Manifesting your dream job? Great, but you’re going to need to apply for it. Want to be a millionaire? You should probably open that Etsy shop or pitch your brilliant idea on Shark Tank! And when the universe sends signs (aka opportunities), don’t ignore them. They’re not spam!
You are the creator of your reality. With some intention, a lot of belief, and a sprinkle of humor, you can manifest the abundance you deserve and maybe even a little extra just for fun. ;)
