Over dinner with friends the other night, we went around the table and each set a new intention under the full moon.

Mine was to let life feel good!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as I’ve been reflecting on the past three years as a coach. The opportunity to share resources with other entrepreneurs and creatives has me completely enamored. And with passion, comes the perceived pressure to do and be more. 

After supporting nearly 60 clients, I’ve been touched by the deep desire we all have to feel our best. Our souls are not strangers to possibility, they know the truth and they want to experience the magnitude of it. But for some reason a lot of us struggle to trust our intuitive nature, myself included.

I’ve been on a quest to find out why.

I come alive studying, discussing and tracking the principles and energetics of manifestation. I’m in awe every time I experience something even better than I was expecting or a client shares a win like this too. 

Over the next year, I’m committing to talking more about how manifestation works and my personal experience with it. I’m working on a 6 month course centered around meeting your future self, coming out in the New Year! I can’t wait to share more. 

I think we all know the general premise of manifestation, that like energy attracts like energy. But do you know that our energy stems from our thoughts?

The last year or so, I’ve dialed into understanding the parts of manifestation that trip us up the most, our primal subconscious thoughts that limit our potential. These are the thoughts below our conscious thoughts. The one’s we are unaware of, and usually prefer to avoid, that are running the show. Things like; “I’m not good enough”, “I can’t get what I want”, “I’m unloveable, “I don’t belong”, “It’s not safe to show myself” and “I’m wrong.” 

I recently realized that I’ve been so focused on studying emotional trauma, and getting honest about my own, that I’d lost perspective of how healing our brains can be! We have the ability to mold our thoughts by either observing things as they are or imagining them as we’d like them to be. Once we understand and have nurtured our limiting beliefs, learning how to frame our thoughts is the work around becoming a master of your experiences.

Thoughts are sheer creative power. Our brains can be our biggest cheerleaders, lovers, fans and friends. If we let it be.

The challenge is that along the path of being a human, we’ve forgotten to trust that it’s safe to think and feel this expansively. We don’t love feeling disappointed, rejected or alone. So we protect ourselves by restricting our vibe. 

Wholeness is a holding and allowing all parts of ourselves to be present. Whenever I’m feeling scarce, I like to remind myself that these primal feelings are just one part of me. AND, that I have a choice to also believe things like, “I am worthy”, “I am lovable”, “I trust myself” “It’s safe to be seen” and “I am wanted and needed here” all at the same time.

Manifestation guru, Abraham Hicks calls this abundant energy allowing. There is an eternal stream of energy available to us 24/7 that we can tap into anytime by simply letting it in. It’s our shared purpose to relax and remember this over and over and over again. 

I think the easiest way to stay mindful that we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience is to remind others of this too. Which is why I’m so excited to purse making the magic of manifestation easier to grasp, trust and cultivate. It’s too easy to get wrapped up in life and forget who we really are. 

So cheers to the first step in manifestation, knowing that life is allowed to feel good and that our brains are incredibly powerful tools in making our dreams come true.

Here are a few journal prompts I’ve been sitting with that may be helpful for you too. 

1. What does joy feel like in your body?

2. What do joyful thoughts sound like in your brain?

3. What type of actions do you make when you feel joyful?

4. What are some types of thoughts that block your joy?

5. How much joy can you hold in your body before some sort of survival instinct kicks in?

6. Do you notice what types of surprising things happen after you’ve allowed yourself to feel good? 

7. How do you remind others that life is supposed to feel good?
