| What does it mean to manifest? What was the
first thing that popped into your mind? Was it 'to create, to come to be, to bring to
reality?' Close. The definition is: 'clearly apparent to the sight or understanding!' Did
you know that an infinite number of things are manifested every day? That's right! Each
thought, each vibration, each feeling or belief manifests a response. Be it positive or
negative, good or bad.
One of the most powerful things to understand about
manifestation is that what comes to be in your life began with a thought, feeling or
action by YOU. Compelling, isn't it? The wonderful person you met, the great new job with
full benefits, or the perfect house with all of that closet space and the finished
basement, all began with your thoughts. Did you pat yourself on the back? Go ahead. Please
give credit where it is due!
On the other hand, the lack of funds, break-up, and
business standstill are also of your making. How does one harness this powerful tool to
create the things that are wanted, instead of the things that aren't? The answer is by
becoming more in tune with your thoughts, feelings, situations, and actions. The more
aware you are of where your thoughts are wandering to, the more control you will have over
what is being manifested.
Ben is one of a growing number of work from home dads. It
is his responsibility to take care of two children under the age of four each day, while
running his successful web design business. Is it challenging? Absolutely, but Ben has
managed quite nicely by making manifestation work for him. His sons used to pick the most
inopportune time to make noise, wreak havoc, and well...act like toddlers! But now this
rarely occurs because Ben takes the time throughout his day to focus his thoughts on what
actions he would like to see occur: quiet play, easy nap-time routines, and uneventful
meals, and it works! No longer does Ben have to hide in the bathroom to take important
business calls. He has effectively managed to create the work environment that he needs.
Manifestation requires time, patience and practice. It can
be difficult to change habits and to train yourself to think differently, but so rewarding
when the effort is made. So begin manifesting the things that you want by making that
mental shift. Start small if you have to, but start today. Focus on what you want, instead
of what you don't have, always keeping your eyes on the goal. Remember to look for and
appreciate what is manifesting (going back to the definition the things you request will
show up clearly and in plain sight), you just have to identify them as what you asked for,
so be careful what you ask for.
Also remember to show gratitude as your dreams and desires
appear. Remember attraction, the more gratitude (positive energy) that is shown, the more
positive energy that will flow back to you. With all of this positive imagery and energy,
success will abound. So, start using these tips now. You'll be manifesting a great deal
more of what you want. I guarantee that you will be impressed by the fruits of your
effort.
