Manifesting For Beginners: How To Get What You Really Want

Manifesting For Beginners: How To Get What You Really Want

It’s true: if you first heard about the Law of Attraction through the bestselling book The Secret, you might have some mixed feelings about it.

Perhaps you were really excited about manifesting at first! I mean, getting what you want through the power of your thoughts? Who wouldn’t want that to happen?

But then, reality hit. And it turns out making your crush fall in love with you or getting the promotion at work wasn’t quite as easy as you’d hoped.

Many beginner manifestors easily lose faith in the process. But that mostly happens because they’re trying to do something really big before their training wheels are even off!

There’s a big misconception here: manifesting is actually about much more than making a wish and sitting around waiting for it to happen! Successful manifesting takes practice, just like anything else in life.


Manifesting is simply about aligning your thoughts and beliefs with your desire, so that your desire has no choice but to actually appear in reality!



Yes, the Universe is lining things up for you behind the scenes. But you are the one putting things into motion by deciding on what you want and putting in the work to go after it. It’s about true belief and trust: in yourself, in the Universe, and in your dreams.

It’s definitely not about waiting for something to happen! In fact, the more you think you have to wait, the longer you will be waiting.

It’s actually about making your dreams happen and taking the initiative to start making the necessary changes from the inside out.

So tell me now: are you still interesting in getting what you really want and manifesting the life of your dreams? I certainly hope so because that’s why I put together this quick start guide especially for beginner manifestors like you:


Manifesting For Beginners: How To Get What You Really Want


How To Get What You Want Step #1:

Get Specific



I’ve said it before and I’ll surely say it again: but if you haven’t actually picked a manifestation goal for yourself, you haven’t actually started manifesting! Saying things like “I want to be rich/thin/etc” doesn’t actually have much meaning. The Universe is trying to give you what you want! But if you don’t know what that is, then what’s going to happen? So please don’t be afraid to define exactly what is that you want right now.

Just remember, manifesting isn’t a one-time-only affair! It’s meant to be used over and over again, as you grow and change. So don’t worry about failing or changing your mind down the road. Commit to what you want right now and take it from there.


How To Get What You Want Step #2:

Stay Realistic



Here’s another important point for successful manifesting that most manifesting teachers won’t tell you: it’s also important to be somewhat realistic with your manifesting intentions.

That’s right: all of you who are trying to manifest a Lamborghini in the next 7 days, I’m talking to you!

So let’s get this part right: it’s not that you can’t create crazy amazing miracles for yourself. I’ve experienced miracles and I know many others who have as well! But you have to realize it takes a lot of inner work to create the space for those miracles to happen. If you’re just starting out, you don’t have a lot of practice. So that would be like trying to run a marathon without any training at all!

Imagine this: if you pick a crazy goal in a super-short timeline and it doesn’t work out, how is that going to make you feel? Probably not too great. At best, you’ll think you’re not a good manifestor and at worst, you’ll think the whole thing is a bunch of lies! So I want to avoid all of that.

If you’re just starting out with manifesting, I want you to pick a goal that’s juicy but not completely over the top. It has to feel tangible to you or you’ll just be putting extra blocks in your own way.


How To Get What You Want Step #3:

Align Yourself



As you might have guessed by the title of this site, I’m a true believer in the importance of alignment! To me, alignment is defined as having your thoughts, feelings and actions all in alignment with your goals. In practical terms, that means you aren’t saying you want one thing but acting in a completely different way.

So let’s start acting in alignment with our intention right now! Take a moment to imagine your life with your manifesting wish in it. How do you feel? What would you be doing? What would you be saying? And what would be different than where you are right now?

Pay close attention to those differences because they are the keys to your castle! It’s time to give up on the idea that you won’t have to change at all in order to get what you want. Of course you’ll have to change things, including your thoughts, feelings and actions.

So just keep coming back to this important question: how can you start to be more of who you really want to be? Start practicing being that person more and more every day and you’ll be in alignment before you know it!


How To Get What You Want Step #4:

Do The Work



Sorry my dearest honey babes but manifesting simply isn’t a guarantee that things will be easy (or fast for that matter!). While using the Law of Attraction isn’t about effort-ing in the “normal” sort of way, it does still involve effort. (This is yet another of the top misconceptions about manifesting!)

The Law only works as well as you do. So of course that means: half-assed effort equals half-assed results. Again, the Universe is just trying to give you what you want. But it’s paying attention to much more than just your words. For example, if you say you want to manifest losing weight yet you haven’t changed your diet or your workout routine–or more importantly, your thoughts and beliefs around working out–then what are you really telling the Universe? Perhaps it looks like you’re just happy with life exactly the way it is.

The change starts within you, always. That’s a beautiful thing because it means you don’t have to wait on anyone else to get things started! But you do have to start showing up for yourself, each and every day.


How To Get What You Want Step #5:

Follow The Pings



The Universe wants to help you. It wants you to be happy and it wants you to grow and expand into the person you were always meant to be! That means you will receive help along the way to your goals. The only problem is that many people don’t even realize that this is happening!

That’s because the Universe doesn’t exactly write you a step-by-step letter with a game plan. Instead, it speaks the language of our subconscious mind: through symbols, synchronicities and light-bulb moments of clarity and inspiration. So please don’t miss the signposts! They’re meant to help you on your journey–but you have to notice them and also, take action when you do!

So keep your eyes open. Notice your sudden bursts of inspiration of creativity or desire to take action. Get curious about the world and be brave enough to keep asking questions. As long as you stay committed to the journey, you’ll keep finding the clues that’ll take you on your manifesting journey.




Now tell me love: what are your biggest questions about manifesting? What else do you need to know in order to get what you really want?




If there’s only one key take-away you get from this post, make it this one: change always within your hands. There’s always something you can do right now to start making your dreams for tomorrow come true today. So stop waiting and start creating!

Thank you so much for reading. I’d love to hear your thoughts below in the comments! I’ll see you back here next week for the latest one.

Oh hey there friend! πŸ’—There are lots of new f Oh hey there friend! πŸ’—There are lots of new faces here & it's been a little while since I last introduced myself.So hello! My name is Jenn & I'm on a mission to connect you to your MAGIC.I teach you how to create the life you want by using your MIND.You might have heard that you can use the Law of Attraction to attract what you want through your emotional states.Which IS true.But most of us don't realize that our THOUGHTS create our emotional state.Repeated thoughts become beliefs.And those beliefs create our MINDSET.So when you have a low sense worthiness around ANYTHING you happen to want to manifest, you WILL see only lack and limitation.You WILL buy into the old programming that tells you you could never do/be/have that.You WILL secretly self-sabotage and get in the way of the very things you want so much.I used to feel lost and down on myself. And I used to HATE what my life was like.But something inside of me was pointing me in the direction of learning more about spirituality and personal development.The more I learned about manifestation + the brain, the moer the pieces began to click together.And the faster my life began to RAPIDLY change!(Check out my story on how I manifested my book deal for example.)I'm telling you this because I KNOW you can create so many of those dreams of yours, if you JUST learn how to get out of your own way.And that's what I'm on a mission to do, every single day.Want to work with me? You can get started with manifestation with my Manifestation Journaling Workshop.Or if you're ready to go deeper in a private setting, drop me a DM to learn more about my hypno-coaching program!AND PS - I'm also about to launch my Recode membership site (which I'm SOOO excited about). So stay tuned for that!But I'm SO DAMN EXCITED to have you here for this journey! And I thank you so much for being part of my little manifestation community. Now--let's TRANSFORM!
Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming? Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming?Emoji me below if you're part of Team Manifestation! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
What do YOU need to believe to create your next le What do YOU need to believe to create your next level-reality?Remember: your old beliefs created the life you're living now.But instead of getting upset about that, it's SO much more useful to think on where we want to go next.So what do YOU want to create?And what do YOU need to believe in order to get there?This is the CREATION part of being a Conscious Creator: meaning that YOU get to decide on what your life looks like. But you also have to do the work to CREATE it, starting from the inside out.So get excited about what YOU are going to start believing in next! &  happy weekend to you #teammanifestation !
