How to Manifest your dream life through the Law of Attraction
Who doesn't wish to manifest the life of their dreams? There is always something we could improve in our lives, or wish to change or upgrade. But how do we do it? The answer to that is Law of attraction and the art of manifestation.
What is the Art of Manifesting and the Law of Attraction?
In this day and age, terms like "law of attraction" and "manifestation" have become increasingly popular. With many influencers and life coaches roaming about it, there are more books and resources available now than ever before.
From personal experience, I started experimenting with the law of attraction and manifestation in my early 20’s. Since then, I have never looked back and have been a true believer. The law of attraction states, that which you hold your attention and focus on, you will attract and manifest. Now, this can go in both directions. If you only focus on negative things and circumstances, you will attract more of it into your life. On the other hand, if you bring your focus on your positive dreams, hopes and sincere desires, you will attract those into your life as well.
In this article, I will share the steps to manifestation, and the process of how it has worked in my life. Let's further explore how this concept works.
How does Manifesting and the Law of Attraction work?
Step 1: Set Clear Intentions
Quite frankly, there is no magic wand that will make all your desires appear in an instant (though I am sure many of us would like that). To start, we must be clear with our intentions and desires, and be precise with what we want to manifest in our lives. If your thoughts are scattered, and you’re unsure of what you want to get from life, naturally the outcome will be the same. However, by setting clear intentions and stating what you wish to manifest, will bring you closer to manifesting it. Let’s break it down even further.
Step 2: Develop Faith
This may sound like a ‘cliché’ to some, but let’s dive into this. How do you expect to manifest or attract something into your life, if you do not believe that you can have it? It’s simple- you can’t. Faith takes time to develop, however with consistent effort, affirmations and feelings of acceptance for the best, you will surely get there. For example, when you start going to the gym; it takes time for your body to get used to exercising and a great deal of effort before you see results. This is similar because you may not have faith at first, but step-by-step as you embark on this journey, you begin to build stronger momentum of faith and achieve greater results.
Step 3: Be Specific.
Once you’ve set clear intentions, and have developed strong faith in the fact that you deserve to receive all that you’re asking for. You must become very specific in your details. For example, if you are in the process of manifesting your dream home, be specific with the details. For instance, how many rooms do you wish to have, what type of kitchen, location of house, and so forth. Write down the date you wish to have that house by (but be realistic). The more specific you become, the easier you will be able to visualize it, and the better you will be able to manifest it.
Step 4: Write it Down
Once you’ve brainstormed and came up with the specifics and the details, WRITE IT DOWN. It may sound like an unnecessary step to some, but writing down your goals, desires and things you wish to manifest can be a very practical tool. It’s one of the first steps to bringing those desires into physical existence. There are many ways to write it down, and different ways to create your ‘treasure map’.
There are many ways to create a ‘treasure map’ or a ‘vision board’. However, at times, the instructions to create a vision board can seem complex and demanding. This prevents people from fully putting their intention into it, or even trying this method out. I believe that simply even writing down your goals, desires, things you wish to manifest in concrete details on a piece of paper or your computer, can be just as effective.
Step 5: Take Action
As mentioned above, there is no magic wand that we can wave, and manifest the things we desire instantaneously. However, it requires putting in our energy and effort to make those things happen. For instance, we can’t expect to get the house of our dreams, without actively taking the necessary steps to purchase a home. Therefore, after writing down your goals, I encourage you to keep that piece of paper or vision board handy, and keep your intention on it throughout the year/years. This will help to keep your focus on those goals, and take the necessary steps to help them manifest.
Step 6: Align with Your Goals
Once you are clear with what you want to manifest, consistently check in with yourself throughout the year. Ask yourself, is what I am doing right now, aligning with my goals? If the answer is no, see what you can shift around in your life and habits, to better align with your goals. Be receptive to the new shifts that you are about to experience in your life and stay flexible.
One of the best quotes I heard from my professor in College was: “Nothing changes, if nothing changes”. Let that sink in for a moment. If you are always engaging in the same habits, and aren’t putting effort to align with your new goals, how do you expect things to change? It’s important to strive daily to take practical action that will bring us closer to our goals.
Step 7: Expect the Best & Believe in Yourself
Another practical thing to remember, to manifest and achieve the results you desire, you must learn the believe in yourself and expect the best. Many people suffer from a lack of confidence in themselves and life. They don’t believe they deserve to have a beautiful home, loving relationships, a job they love and a comfortable income. They put themselves in a position where they struggle, and don’t make any effort to make changes in their lives. I believe this comes from one not believing in oneself. I have also been there in my life. I didn’t believe that I deserved the things that I wanted, and it wasn’t surprising that I wasn’t getting the results that I desired.
It takes time to change these thinking habits, but it’s a process that is definitely worth it. What helps a lot is saying or reading daily affirmations that help to change your thinking patterns. Keep affirming to yourself, that you do believe in yourself and that you deserve all the best this world has to offer. You might not believe it at first, and it might take time for you to fully convince yourself. I promise you though, if you sincerely try developing this habit, you will eventually bring yourself to a point where you will start to believe in yourself and expect the best.
Step 8: Don’t Be Discouraged
It’s important to remember that we might not get EVERYTHING we put on our list right away. I am a big believer that when one door doesn’t open, it’s because there is something better waiting for us. We may not always have it at a time that we want, but it could also be because we aren’t exercising enough faith, and taking enough practical action. That being said, don’t be discouraged, keep going, keep believing and keep working towards those manifestations. You may not achieve something this year, but that dream will come through the year after (or maybe a few years later). It’s definitely happened to me before, where I didn’t get what I wrote right away. However, it manifested a few years later.
The art of manifestation is a cosmic art. Be grateful for what you get, work hard for what you want, and become flexible in your approach.
