How To Manifest $1000 In One Week

by: Jenn

Wanna know about a money block that you’re probably suffering from?

It’s actually embedded in way we think about money. Our story about how long money “should” take to show up is the very thing that blocks us.

That’s right babe! It’s your very expectations about how long it takes to make or earn money that prevent you from manifesting money fast.

If you’re on a money manifestation journey and you’re not quite where you want to be, this is definitely something you’ll want to learn how to fix.

One of the best ways to do that is to challenge yourself to manifest money fast. That way, you can start proving a new outcome to your subconscious brain. Once your subconscious brain has “evidence” that something is true, that’s when it will allow more of that result into your world.

We will only ever manifest what we think we’re capable of so sometimes challenging yourself to do something difficult is the best way to reset your own expectations!

With all other areas of manifestation, I caution my students not to work with rigid timelines or deadlines.

But with money, those “rules” go out the window. That’s why today I’m recommend trying to manifest $1000 in a week (or a month etc.) It’s both a fun manifestation game and a great way to connect you back with your true manifestation power, no matter what else is going on in your world.

Playing with setting money amounts and deadline is actually great for your manifestation practice in general. I still meet loads of people who are trying to manifest an amazing life through wishy-washy desires (ie. “I want more money” etc.).

So venturing into the world of set dollar amounts and hard deadlines is great practice for deciding on what you want and asking for it in all areas in your life!

(In fact, if you’re resisting doing this I think that’s a huge sign that you need exactly this practice!)

Are you ready to manifest $1000 into your life within the next week? Let’s get started by following these 7 simple rules:


How To Manifest $1000 In One Week: 7 Rules


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #1:

Declare Your Intention


Whenever you’re serious about manifesting something, the first step is always to make your intentions absolutely clear! But again, how many people out there are still not brave enough to claim their desires?

Lots of people have issues being direct and asking for what they want, both in real life and in manifestation. But if you don’t ask, you’re not going to get it! So take a moment to stake your claim in what you want right now.

If you’re truly serious about manifesting $1000 in the next week, then take a moment to declare it. Stop, center your energy and say your wish out loud. Or do what I love to do and write it down somewhere. Be sure to include the full dollar amount and your deadline, plus date the note with today’s date as well, just to record it.

You can stick your note on your bathroom mirror, in your phone case or journal. But try to put it somewhere where you can see it and be reminded of your goal over the next week.


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #2:

Stay Playful


Have you ever tried to manifest a lot of money fast in the past? (For example: trying to manifest your entire rent check 3 days before it’s due!)
I’m going to take a wild guess that that attempt just didn’t work out for you. But let’s be clear: it’s not because you’re unlucky or undeserving or because just there isn’t money out there in the Universe that you are entitled to.

It’s because in those emergency situations you are waaaay too up in the meaning of money to actually let it in.

That desperate clingy energy does the very opposite of what you want it to do. It drives the very thing you want far, far away.

It’s just a hilarious joke of the Universe that we manifest everything much better when we’re not so attached to the outcome! So the more you can stay in fun, happy, playful energy the easier it will be for you to manifest.

Keep an eye on your energy as you go through the week. The minute you start to get grasp-y or micro-manage-y (or whatever your particular controlling poison might happen to be) then remember to release and get back into the vibe of fun. Stay grateful for what you already have and ask for the $1000 because the very act is fun in itself, not because you absolutely need the money for rent or to prove something about yourself.

The more playful you can be, the better!


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #3:

Attract Don’t Force


Think about this: if you were on the street one day and suddenly started to chase a dog/child/man (lol!) what would happen? Of course, the dog/child/man would do what its instincts told them to do–and run the other way!

But the exact same principle applies with money. When you’re running directly at it, it’s going to do its best to run the other way.

Instead, be happy, open and friendly to money, just as you would a person (or dog!) in real life. When you’re inviting but not forcing, that’s when the other energy can actually feel safe and interact with you.

Feeling kind of confused about how exactly to do this? One powerful way to start tuning into that energy of money is to use a money attraction subliminal that you can listen to while you work out, sleep etc. Go over here to check out one by me!


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #4:

Open Doors But Stay Unattached


The Universe is a naturally abundant place and there’s truly money available to us from many different sources. However, most of us have accidentally created a money bottle neck in our world by unintentionally limiting the ways in which we can receive money.

So if you’re serious about manifesting money fast, it’s wise to help the Universe along by providing the Universe with a new pathway or two for money to find you.

Think about it like this: if right now you’re wanting to manifest $1000 but you don’t do anything differently, then money can only find it way to you down a few paths (a bonus at work for example). But if you open the doors to new opportunities then there’s more options for the Universe to choose from.

Take some time this week to consider how you could open new portals to money. Selling last years handbag collection? Finally telling people about your photography skills? Get creative and see what you can come up with!

Just don’t get frantic about this! Remember it’s not about doing it all. But it is about opening new doorways for yourself.


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #4:

Reprogram Limiting Beliefs


As you go through your week, your biggest job is to notice how your brain gets in your way. Basically, anything that gets in the way of what you manifesting money is something for you to notice and reprogram.

Most of us have a ton of limiting beliefs and negative programming around money. Keep an eye out for familiar but limiting thought patterns like: “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “Rich people are greedy.” etc.

Those beliefs might seem harmless enough but they’re actually creating invisible barriers to our money goals. But you are a Conscious Creator my friend! Please exercise this right by noticing what your brain is telling you and reprogramming the ideas that just aren’t helping.


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #5:

Take Action


As I always say, the Law of Attraction also contains the Law of Action. Meaning: it’s up to you to do something to help draw in your desires.

But again, this isn’t about getting frantic, pulling all-nighters and doing everything you can possibly think of. In fact, this is less about what you actually do and more about the fact that you are doing it.

The Universe loves and rewards speed. So if you have a sudden brilliant idea this week, be sure to act on it–and quickly! Those pings and sudden flashes of inspiration are being given to you for a reason so be sure you take those divine gifts and run with them.


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #6:

Stay Trusting


As you go through your week, stop looking at the clock and freaking out that “it’s not here yet!” That type of behavior just indicates that you’ve fallen out of trust.

When you set your intention, it typically goes hand-in-hand with a sense of trust. Yet through the week our Inner Worrywart can rise to the surface and drag us far away from that calm trusting place.

Try to think about it this way: if you knew with absolute certainty that your $1000 was on its way to you, would you still be freaking out? Probably not! But the very fact that you are spending so much time worried about “What if?” is taking your precious energy away from thinking about what you really want.

Remember that our mindset is creating our results, in every thought and every choice. So slipping into that un-trusting state is actually pushing what you want further away.

If you notice this, remember to go back to confident trusting and let your manifestation come find you.


Manifest $1000 In One Week Rule #7:

Receive + Celebrate


I know receiving doesn’t seem like something you have to work for. It happens when the money shows up right?

Well it’s not always as easy as that! When it comes to manifesting money, we have to remember to look at the big picture.

Money often shows up from several sources. Maybe you get a surprise refund check and maybe an acquaintance suddenly offers you a paid weekend gig. Maybe neither of those amounts are $1000 by themselves–but if you add them up, boom! There’s your money.

However, if you weren’t paying close attention you might have missed out on noticing your very own miracle.For this reason, you must always to stay open, aware and receptive of what’s happening in your world. Maybe keep yourself a little manifestation diary (or Notes app on your phone) and record your progress in there. And yes, even the little things (like a friend buying your coffee) can go towards your goal.

The goal is to accept that money as it shows up and be grateful for every little extra bit! After all, there’s basically nothing worse (energetically speaking) than asking the Universe for something and not acknowledging it (or being grateful for it!) when it actually does show up. So let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.

Challenging yourself to keep a grateful and magical mindset just makes you more magnetic in general. So stay in tuned with your world and watch what happens as you become more and more magnetic!



I hope you have so much fun with this simple money manifestation challenge! If you try it out, I’d love it if you could come back and share your results. And as always, feel free to pass this post along to a friend.

Happy money manifesting my friend!

3 Tips For Manifesting Money

Your Manifesting Money Execution Plan

by: Jenn

Love it or hate it, you know the truth: money makes the world go round!

So it’s no real wonder that so many of us have messed-up a relationship with money.

And that’s exactly why we’ve been talking about money and abundance on the blog for a whole month now! I know that so many of us struggle with it and I can relate (oh boy can I relate!).

I’ve recently decided to take matters into my own hands. I’ve made it my mission to put my mind on my money and my money on my mind. (hahaha!)

So tell me: how are YOU doing with your money goals?

In this final money manifesting post (for this time round at least), I really want to hammer home how EASY attracting money can be.


All you really need to manifest money are two things:


An intention and a plan.

We’ve learned about the energy of money and how you must increase your overall sense of worthiness in order to step into abundance.

Today’s post is all about the rest of it: real actionable steps that will start attracting money to you like a magnet!

Exciting stuff right? So let’s dive in and tell you exactly how to do that:


Your Manifesting Money Execution Plan


Money Manifesting Step #1:

Write It Down



This step is so simple that you might have over looked it. So it’s time to rectify that now and make it a habit to write down your intentions.

This is a great way to truly define what you want, taking it out of the wishing zone and actually committing to it. But this is a crucial distinction. It’s one thing to desire money but it’s an entirely different thing to make the decision to make it happen!

Writing your intention down is one of the best ways to move from simple intention into action mode! It’s easy to do plus it also brings your intention from “just” a thought floating around in your mind into an actual tangible object in the physical plane. That’s a powerful act! So no matter what you’ve decided to call in, always make sure that you take the time to write it down.

Action Item:

Whenever you decide on a new intention, be sure to write it down! (For this, I insist you use an old-fashioned pen and paper.) Commit to your idea, write it out–and then let it go! If you feel called, keep the paper around as a visual reminder. It’s the act of writing it down that’s important so just make sure you do it! You have now officially declared your intention to the Universe.


Money Manifesting Step #2:

Stay In Gratitude



When we focus on anything we want to create more of in our life, it can be all too easy to forget to be grateful for what we already have. But here’s the trick: whatever you focus on will always expand! So do you want to focus on lack or on abundance?

Even if you’re just scraping by and starting your financial journey from the bottom, it’s important to be thankful for what you’ve already got! Think of gratitude as sending a giant thank you card to the Universe. The more you can shift to “having” instead of “lacking” the better your manifesting results will be!

Action Item:

Let’s make gratitude your new habit. So start to build it into your day! Start keeping a gratitude notebook (you can also do it in Notes on your phone) and commit to writing down the things you are grateful for daily. The more you can think of, the more momentum you’ll build, so keep going even if sometimes it feels difficult.


Money Manifesting Step #3:

Stop Projecting Forward



So many people make this fundamental manifesting mistake! Instead of seeing themselves with money now, they focus on imagining having money someday.

However, we only ever experience life in the present moment! Future-projecting creates too much space between us and the thing that we really want. If we can’t experience our intention as if it was real in our mind, then we’re not going to be able to manifest it!

So stop with the “someday” thinking! Focus on acting as if your life was exactly as it is now, only with your intention being already fully realized.

Action Item:

So often we unknowingly create distance between us and the thing we want by imagining some far away future date! So it’s important to stop thinking about “someday” and imagine what it would be like to have your wish now!


Money Manifesting Step #4:

Remove The Pedestal



Just as we push our desire away with time, we also push it away with importance. We all just love to put the object of our desire on a pedestal–especially when that desire is money!

But it’s just the same with money as it is for our current crush! We make it mean so much more than it should and all that excessive expectation kills the potential of it actually happening. The reality can never live up to our lofty standards! So we’ve created an extra barrier without even realizing it.

The only solution here is to bring it all back down to earth. Yes, money is a wonderful thing to have! But don’t over-inflate it. It’s just another form of energy, like you, me and the Universe itself. Normalizing your relationship to money is necessary to start cultivating more of it in your life.

Action Item:

To make your money wish a reality, it’s time to take it off the pedestal. Try to imagine what it would be like to have your wish come true–but don’t exaggerate what that means! Of course, money can change our lives in many amazing ways! But in the end it’s just a channel for you, not something bigger than you that you have to live in fear of.


Money Manifesting Step #5:

Give Value



Sorry to be the bear-er of bad news! But when it comes to manifesting, the only bank that matters is the Universe. And all money we receive requires an equivalent exchange of service, time or energy.

Remember that the true nature of money is energy! So attracting more money into your life requires you to exchange something for it. But that doesn’t mean selling your first born to the devil! Perhaps you just need to get clear about what value you bring to your current job or business. The more clear cut you make this exchange, the easier it will be for the Universe to fulfill your request.

Action Item:

Brainstorm ways you can offer more value to the world! Sometimes money flows to us through a new job, a new side-hustle or from turning a hobby into a business! Get creative and define what value you offer the world and I guarantee the Universe will respond in kind.


Money Manifesting Step #6:

Take Aligned Action



Aligned action is very different than taking the normal path to what you want. Aligned action is about operating from a sense of faith. Perhaps you do continue your daily routine and efforts to create your desire. But you also know that you’re going to receive some help along the way–so it’s important to remain open to receiving those ideas.

Aligned action is all about a sudden flash of inspiration! It’s about seizing an opportunity as it arises. It’s about following the arrows as you go! Keep your curiosity about you and follow those signs as you see them. They might not “make sense” at first but they’re the stepping stones taking you where you need to go.

Action Item:

Don’t stop doing your regular Muggle-world work at your goals. (ie. still go to work and get your shit DONE!) But it is time to open your heart, mind and eyes to new opportunities in your world.

What happens when you get curious? What happens when you listen to your intuition? What happens when you start saying YES to all the amazing things that come your way?

So often there’s help coming our way that we don’t even notice at first. So it’s time to start noticing baby! It’s time to shift into openness and receiving mode.



I hope this post inspires you to take these very easy steps towards creating the financial future of your dreams! Thank you so much for reading. As always, I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts, ideas and results so feel free to drop them below.

3 Ways To Understand The Energy Of Money

by: Jenn

I admit it: I’ve had to do a lot of conscious work on my money mindset in the last few years.

Because let’s face it: money is one of the most important elements of modern life!
In so many ways, it really does make the world go round, no matter what we happen to think about it.

Can you relate? If so you’re not alone! Money is a difficult (emotional) subject for so many of us.

Most of this stems back to our childhood (as with so many other things).

For example, I definitely didn’t learn a whole lot about money directly while I was growing up. But from watching my family I just knew it was something that was difficult to obtain and hold onto.

I certainly don’t remember anyone talking about ease and flow around money as a child! But I do remember lots of people complaining about not having it, talking about what we’d do with it or even slightly resenting other people for having it.

You might not think that stuff from your childhood has anything to do with who you are now. After all, it was a long time ago right?

But that’s just plain wrong. Even though our conscious mind is good at separating fact from fiction, our subconscious mind is still clinging onto all those old beliefs as if they were gospel.

So please don’t blame yourself if you’re feeling lack around money! As children, we’re just little sponges, soaking up information (whether accurate or not) from the world around us.

As adults most of us have to go back into those mental files to review and decide on which ones are worth keeping and which ones are actually damaging to us now.

(Note: this isn’t about building up resentment to our past! We’re not perfect and neither were our parents, family members or friends. No one did this on purpose and if you start pointing the finger of blame you’re just trapping yourself in victim mode.)

So good news if this is something you want to learn more about! This month I’m going to be talking about money a lot. So get prepared to expand your money consciousness and start growing towards abundance!

Today, we’re going to kick off the series by talking about the energy of money.


One of the most mind-expanding concepts about money that I’ve learned is that money is just energy. It’s only once you start thinking about it as energy that you’ll begin to understand it’s true nature!



There are only three things you need to understand about the energy of money if you want to start manifesting more of it into your life:


3 Easy Ways To Understand The Energy Of Money


Energy Of Money Principle #1:

Money Is Energy



By far the most important thing to understand about money is that it’s just another form of energy. It’s actually just another aspect of consciousness–just like you are! We’re all part of the same fabric–the fabric of the Universe! When you look at it this way, it automatically takes money off the pedestal we tend to put it on. It brings money back down to our level.

It’s also so key to know that while money is energy, it’s also neutral. It’s still common for people to believe that money is inherently evil. There’s no question money can be used for evil–but it can also be used for good! Money always simply amplifies the energy of the person who holds it. It simply intensifies what’s already there. Otherwise it’s just neutral. So putting more money in your hands will amplify the good that you have inside you! (Good to know!)


Energy Of Money Principle #2:

Money Wants To Be Used



When you’re used to not having money, it can be tempting to hoard it and cling on to it when you actually do have it. But again, it’s important to remember that money is just another form of energy. It’s very nature is to ebb and flow. So it’s doing its best work when it’s out in the world doing its thang!

Remember that every dollar you spend holds power. You are deciding who to bestow your love and blessings on with every penny you spend, whether you’re donating to charity, filling up the pantry at Costco or buying pretty new shoes. Money is more than happy to do its job: to make you happy and to get stuff done.

If you freak out about using it, then it just goes to show that you’re not invested in your own abilities to make that money back! But not spending the money isn’t the real problem. The real problem is in your faith to receive more of it! So if you’re having problems spending what you have (within reason of course!) then it’s time to dig a little deeper into your attitude and mindset around money.


Energy Of Money Principle #3:

Money Demands Respect Not Fear



Believe it or not, money wants to be your friend! But are you making it easy for money to do that?

Many of us live in fear of money, without even noticing that we’re doing so. But if you’re avoiding looking at your bank account or opening your bills then your actions are speaking loud and clear! Fear is definitely your vibe.

Just know that no matter how bad you think your situation is, you’ll never get out from under it if you continue to ignore the problem! Even if you’re in debt, you can be grateful for what that debt has brought to you (be that student loans or designer shoes). You spent that money on something that was important to you at the time! Think about it: what would your life be like if you hadn’t taken that action?

No one’s proud of their debt but please remember that your debt does not mean you are stupid or helpless. There was intention in your actions at the time! So honor yourself for fulfilling those needs, whatever they happened to be. And remember that you can start a new money story starting right now.



So tell me: what did you learn about the energy of money today? Which tip are you going to implement first?




I hope this post helps you shift your mindset around money from fear into love. A great relationship with money starts on the inside–but that’s great news! You don’t have to live in fear of it anymore. It’s never too late to cultivate an awesome relationship with money! You have the power to do that any time you like.
