I have created a free journaling practice for you, so you can go ahead, download that link to start this journaling practice, but let’s go through it here to really set you up for success on this daily journal practice for manifestation. The way that we want to journal is starting with your vision. You have a new desire for 2024, and I have lots of videos on my YouTube channel around how to create a vision that works, so make sure that you go through those and create a clear vision.
There’s a way that we work with our vision in a very specific way that really helps speed up that manifestation process. So when you’re journaling, you want to start out with your goals or your vision, what is it that you’re creating, and to write that vision or those goals in the present tense. When you’re journaling, we start with the vision, the goals, shifting our thinking more from our current conditions, our current circumstances, into what it is that we’re creating. We start with that vision.
The second thing in that journaling that’s really important is what are you grateful for? Again, lots of videos on my Youtube channel around the power of gratitude. Gratitude is just such a transformational energy, and the more that we’re looking for all the blessings in our life, what we’re grateful for, we attract to us more things to be grateful for. It helps to set your mind and your attitude to one of gratitude. In that journaling practice every day, write down at least three, I would encourage you to lean into 10 things you’re grateful for, every day.
And the third piece in that journaling process is asking how am I showing up into my day today? Here’s where this is important. When we’re living a “life is happening to me” model, we decide if our day is a good day or a bad day based on other people, based on the influence of our conditions, is it raining, is it snowing, is it warm, is it cold, was the traffic light or heavy, were my kids cooperative, we’re allowing the outside world to determine how we’re showing up. Was I happy? Was I miserable? Was I disappointed? Was I stressed out? It’s this very reactionary day. In the journaling, when we’re saying “here’s who I’m being today…” you’re making an advanced decision that you’re going to show up into this day confident, joyful, playful, you decide. So pick one or two, maximum three qualities that you want to embody in your day, not waiting for your day to decide if this is a good day or a bad day. Make an advanced decision, what if this was one of my best days ever? And if I want to create that best day ever, who am I being?
The final step in this journaling process for manifestation is what action step am I taking today? It’s not enough to visualize and to have that desire for a new life, we’ve got to take action. And so as you’re in this state first thing in the morning, if you can journal first thing in the morning, that’s when it’s most powerful. What action step are you going to take in service of your dream today? Don’t get too tied into the idea that this has to be a great big bold move, sometimes that will be your action step. And sometimes it’s choosing a glass of water over a cup of coffee. Or parking a little bit further and walking. Or choosing to take the stairs, or sending that email, or booking that class. What’s a step? Just a little tiny baby step some days that I can take today in service of my dream.
