One Question to Ask Yourself Before You Manifest Anything

2021 is one week away and you want 2021 to be better than 2020.

Is it that you want to make more money than you made in 2020? Do you want to lose 20 pounds? Do you want to finally go on that vacation you’ve been dreaming of?

Before you want to manifest anything, you need to get crystal clear on what you want, or else the Universe brings you vague results.

Like attracts like, vague attracts vague.

Let’s say you want to lose 20 pounds but all you say is “I just want to lose weight. Please help me lose weight.”

The Universe might help you lose 5 pounds instead because you weren’t specific.

Same goes with manifesting money. If you’re vague about how much you want, the Universe will give you $5. Your desire for more money has manifested! But you want more, don’t you? That’s why you need to get clear on your desire. How much money do you want?

Another important thing to note is to stop phrasing your wishes in terms of what you don’t want. If you only know what you don’t want, the Universe gives you exactly that: what you don’t want.

I recommend not to ask, “I don’t want to gain more weight,” especially if it comes from the energy of fear and worry. The Universe reflects the energy you put out back to you.

So if you say your desires from the energy of fear and worry, guess what the Universe will give you?

More fear and worry, and because what you worry about is gaining more weight, you will gain more weight.

I know this because I experienced it over and over again.

I shared my story here about how I finally lost 20 pounds. Although I went on unhealthy, low-calorie diets, I gained weight anyway because I was always worrying about my weight.

The moment I stopped worrying, focused on gratitude and started embodying the version of myself at my goal weight, I lost weight without dieting and exercising.

So if you want to lose weight, I recommend saying “I lost 20 pounds. I am already at my goal weight,” because this has a much better energy than “I don’t want to gain more weight.”

Maybe you’re experiencing a hint of fear and disbelief, but it’s easier to shift to gratitude when you say it in present or past tense, and gratitude is crucial when it comes to manifestation. I recommend checking out that post for more details on how I lost 20 pounds with ease.

So what if you don’t know what you want, but you know what you don’t want?

Here’s the question I asked myself that clarified how my ideal lifestyle would look like so I could start scripting and visualizing about it.

It is:

“If you could ask for anything and you knew your success was guaranteed no matter what, what would you ask for?”

What is it that you truly want if there are no limitations?

You are limitless.

If you think you can only make $2,000 per month because that’s what you’ve been conditioned to believe (maybe no one in your family makes more than $2,000/month), but after asking yourself the question above, you really want to make $10,000 because you can see yourself having fun on vacation, sending your children to a good school, retiring your parents, whatever the heck you desire to do, be or have, you can!

You are capable.

The internet is full of resources that can get you close to $10,000/month. You can find ways to add value to people’s lives and the Universe will bring you abundance because abundance is a consequence of you serving others.

You can document your journey to making $10,000 on Youtube and gain a following who also wants to learn how to make $10,000.

You can blog and teach others what you’re doing to make an extra few hundred dollars a month. People are making an incredible amount of money doing this and you can too.

And remember, the Universe can also bring you random checks out of the blue.

Once again, you are limitless.

Don’t let you stop yourself.

You are allowed to think and dream big.

Want to lose 10 pounds in 2021? Why not aim to lose all the excess weight you have? You can achieve a lot more than you think in one year.

Want to go on your dream vacation? Be resourceful, feel as if you’re already there, and go.

Give yourself permission to change your life for the better in 2021, and the Universe will co-create with you so you can get there faster.

But first you need to get clear on what you want.
