Motivation Monday: Manifest

If you want something, manifest it. Simple as that. But it starts with an open mind/heart, willingness to change and ability to listen to your intuition. Here are some tangible steps to manifest your dreams. Check it out! But remember, life is not about checking things off your list - allow yourself to embrace the day-to-day. Often life happens in between those big moments or milestones.

Focus.
Organize your dreams/wishes/goals - write them down or create a vision board. Not only does this send a message to the universe, it holds you accountable to your resolutions.

Ditch your inner perfectionist! 
Remember that nobody’s perfect and if you have a rough start, don’t give up! Let it go and begin again.

Start small and get realMajor change doesn’t happen overnight.
Set small attainable goals - create a timeline. 
Want to hit the gym? Go three times a week.
Want more play and less work in your life? Plan one fun night a week. 

Find joy.
Often we get into autopilot mode and forget to stop, breathe, and reflect on what we have accomplished. Make a list of the positives you have cultivated and celebrate the results of your work!
