Designing your dream life is hard if you think it’s hard, but if you think it’s easy, then it can be fairly easy. I mean not easy, it will require work, but it is very simple. Designing your dream life all boils down to just three simple steps, manifest, believe, and action. 

So it all starts with manifesting your vision. You need to know exactly where you wish to go and there is no way around this first step. It works the same with anything in your life, what ever you want to manifest. Once you have a clear direction of where you are going, your mind will align your actions to move forward. 

Set your intentions for this manifestation and you should feel a strong desire for this vision. Even though you know where you’re going you need something that energizes this vision. Have a vision that each time you think about it, you would smile and feel joyful. Or know your why? Why do you want this? Who is this for? These are the emotions that will help you get to where you want to go. 

When talking about your manifestation it should be in the present tense. If you say I will xyz, your mind will subconsciously postpone your actions for you and go into procrastination. So instead say it directly in the present tense: I xyz and focus on the feeling. I feel absolute abundance and therefore more abundance will come into your life. 

Ok, so you may have tried manifesting in the past and if you haven’t manifested what you desired it is probably because deep down you don’t believe that it could be yours. Don’t worry, congratulations you are human and this is absolutely common. But, if you lack the belief that it can be yours then it CANNOT manifest. When you have doubts or have even the tiniest hint of disbelief you block the manifestation. I would say start with manifestations that are at least 50% believable, so you don’t give up or you can feel like you actually believe it. I mean ideally you really need to develop that sense of unshakable belief that your dream life can be yours because you are the designer. 

Now, it’s time for action, every single action you take should be aligned with your manifestation and goals. Prepare yourself to receive what you have asked for. What course do you need to take? Who do you need to connect with? Once you believe you’re  going there, already walk towards it. Step up and show up. How have you showed up for your dreams today? Your dreams are waiting for you to show up. 

And the most important part of manifestation is to be detached. Remember don’t be too attached to what you want and be obsessed about what you want. Just believe it firmly that it is already yours like going to dealership buying your car. And take aligned actions towards your goals.

This episode is dedicated to you if you have been waiting for a sign in life. 

So many of us spend the majority of our lives waiting for the reassurance that we are ready to reach for what we have always wanted.

Whether it’s leaving a toxic relationship, moving to a new place, quitting the job you hate or starting a new business. We act as if a big neon sign is going to drop miraculously in front of our house and it will say on it that you are ready now. 

But we all know that’s not how it works and I hate to break it to you but if you were waiting for a sign of any sort, then this episode is it.

If you asked me if I would ever have my own podcast half an year ago, the answer would be a definite no. I was interviewed on my first podcast 6 months ago and I fell in love with podcasting, 16 more interviews later now, I launched my own podcast.

I am no one special, but I am unique as you ALL are, did I wait for when I’m ready? No, I didn’t wait, I thought to myself if my podcast help even just one listener, I will have done MY part of contribution to a better world.

I’m just here to remind you that anything is possible, there is always a way and you get to decide to the kind of life you live. I didn’t care about what others might think of me or look at what others are doing, I do my thing! And I do it without loosing myself or sacrificing my priorities. 

So two months ago, when I first wanted to start a podcast, I told myself OK I’m going to ask a stranger on Instagram to be my first guest, if she says yes, I’ll take it as a sign to launch my podcast in September. So I did exactly that, I befriended Jennifer Sutto through a shoutout from another coach friend. Two months later now, in my last episode I talked to my first guests Jennifer and her sister Steph Sutto. Did I believe at the time she will say yes? Absolutely! I read her Instagram posts and watched all her stories and knew that she is super friendly in the online space so I take landing on her profile to be my sign. Maybe she’s not in my perfect target client market because she’s a lot younger or her company makes glitter which has nothing to do with my coaching niche. But I don’t wait for a sign, I just take it as a sign. 

One of my client messaged me 4 months ago that she heard me talk on a podcast and she thought I was a sign for her to become a life coach. after 3 months of working together she already has the most amazing website, she has her program ready and she is ready to impact the world. She didn’t wait any longer for a sign she was openly ready to receive whatever was given to her as a sign and she took action. 

The moment you decide to wait, you start calculating a list of reasons as to why right now isn’t the right time. Then you double think and triple think in your head as to why something you want won’t work out. You will then absolutely be convinced that the timing isn’t right. If this continues for the rest of your life, you will never have what you truly want in life. And by that I don’t mean materialistic things, but also intangible things like happiness and freedom. 

Yes, you can meditate. 

Yes, you can quit whatever you want to quit. 

Yes, you can wake up earlier. 

Yes, you have the time. 

Yes, you can do it. 

Stop giving yourself excuses and take whatever life throws at you and take the next move. Be it baby baby steps, even turtle speed forward is still moving forward. 

If you think you need help, ask for it.

If you want change in any way, start today.

Instead of waiting for a sign in your life to make life happen, you just go and make it happen.
