How To Intentionally Manifest What You Want

The other night, something absolutely fascinating happened to me.

I really discovered the topic of manifestation for me. It is a down-to-earth and yet mystical concept.

Listening to 3 different podcast episodes by Melissa Ambrosini in a loop, learning from the masterful coach Alyssa Nobriga and reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, the idea of manifestation sunk into my bones.

And so, one evening a few weeks back, I applied it consciously for the first time.

And then, I didn’t even know what the Universe had in stock for me.

Here is what happened:

I went to a book club.

It was my very first time.

But before I went, I took some time to really think about why I am going to this book club.

I thought about what was the real purpose of me going to the book club?

What was my vision?

And how did I want to show up?

I knew I wanted to be myself.

But what else?

Now, you may know that I studied literature for seven years at four different universities in four different countries and, let’s just say, I can nerd out about books.

But this was the issue right there.

During uni years, it was about enjoying the books and about being a good student. The way I showed up in class at uni was as a good student.

I quickly realised the other week that this was not the purpose of this book club at all.

So, I journaled and thought about it for a while.

I wanted to make connections. I wanted to create value. I wanted to listen deeply and curiously. I wanted to share my wisdom and invite women into my sphere. I wanted to feel confident. I wanted to feel grounded in who I am and not be too giddy (Enneagram 7, after all!).

All while still being myself.

The thought popped into my head that I wanted to be seen a certain way by the other attendees.

As someone who has good and deep ideas to offer.

As someone who you can ask for advice or an opinion.

And then the most innocent thought popped into my head:

“I want to come across as a wise woman.”

I quickly dismissed the thought because I felt it wasn’t exactly my language.

But that was enough for the universe.

It was honest and it had dropped into my mind – my mind did not create the thought.

During my drive to the location, I really sat in that energy.

I practised manifestation.

I had my clear goal an a clear vision of what I wanted to experience that night.

Then, I pretended to already be exactly that person – while still be me.

While driving I put myself into the energy of being that person that I wanted to be seen as.

As I walked from the parking lot to the bar, I made myself feel and live that goal.

I walked in a way that I imagined someone who is seen in that way walks.

At the book club, I made a few gorgeous connections and when the actual conversation about the book started, I took the appropriate action that related to the intention I had set for myself.

I listened deeply to what the attendees shared.

I felt into my body when I felt nervosity come up and I spoke kindly to my fears.

I always thought thoroughly about what I wanted to share before I even raised my hand or made myself heard.

I made an effort to speak with intent and precision.

I shared my thoughts and wisdom while looking around to look every beautiful woman in the eye.

It is strange to feel so many eyes on you – especially when you sit in a circle.

But I chose to feel the energy of curiosity and love rather than that fear of judgement – which would have been a mere invention of my imagination anyway.

During the break, two women told me they loved what I had to share.

And at the very end of the event – I was about to leave – I spoke with one more person.

This is when it happened.

She said, “You have really deep things to say. You are like… really wise. You are like a wise woman.”

Boom.

I stood in shock.

I said “thank you” but on the inside, I was in shock.

Was this really happening?

Within 3 hours I had manifested what someone else says about me directly to me on that same day.

She said the exact same words.

This is when I asked myself: If I can manifest what someone else says about me to me within 2 hours, what else can I manifest?

And I am on the journey of finding this out.

The three (there are more, but the three basic) steps of manifestation I used were:


VISION
Get crystal clear on what I wanted – what did I want it to look like, to feel like? How would I speak, show up? How would other people see me?

LIVE IT, FEEL IT
I then pretended to already have and be that. I put myself into the energy, I imagined how this person would walk, talk, sit, breathe.

TAKE INSPIRED & SURRENDERED ACTION
I took the aligned action. I acted as the person that I wanted to be. I trusted that whatever the outcome would be, it would be the right one. I was not attached to the outcome. I did not actually expect for anyone to call me this. I “only” showed up how I had envisioned it while also being true to myself.


This story is for you.

I took this as a sign of the power of our mind, of putting yourself in the right energy and taking the aligned and surrendered action.

Yes, you have no control over what other people think or say about you – but you have another power.

The power of creating your reality with your thoughts and taking aligned actions.

The art of creating in the physical world what you desire in your mind.

In fact, you are constantly subconsciously manifesting things in your life.

You may just not be aware of it.

The things that you can also do it consciously around the things you want to create.

But it doesn’t happen while waiting on the couch at home.

It happens when you take aligned action.

And this action is safe.

Even if it means getting out of your familiar zone.

It is safe.

And it is beautiful.

It is about trust and faith.

Trust that you will be safe and held.

Have faith that things are possible.


I hope this inspires you.
