Step 1: Change Your Self-Concept
Your self-concept is your identity, it’s how you see yourself, and that’s why I asked you to fill out those specific questions from Part 1 of this series, because they are going to be the foundational part of this work. The foundational part of setting yourself up for success this year to manifest everything that you want. If you haven’t done those questions, you are seriously holding yourself back from getting it all, because your self-concept completely dictates what you manifest, how you manifest and, more specifically, whether you keep what you manifest or not.
When you think things like:
- “I just cannot seem to overcome this block, no matter what, I always come up against this block”
- “Every time I try to go after this specific goal, something is always holding me back.”
- “No matter what I do, something bad always happens.”
- “I just don’t feel worthy.”
This is your self-concept at work. This is you see yourself. And if you don’t do this work, if you don’t choose and start to see yourself differently, in a different way, nothing’s going to change because you’re always going to sabotage yourself. We don’t want to turn this into a game we can never win, which is what a lot of our self-concepts are wired to do. We’ve created so many rules that they cancel each other out and they send us around in a loop and we never actually get to win.
So To change your self-concept, you have to begin to consume your mind with new ideas about yourself. And you have to create a new concept where you win, where you always get what you want, where no matter what, it always works out for you, where everything you want falls into your lap, where you are already a master manifester.
That’s why I created my brand new Year of Abundance Journal, which is now available on Amazon, it’s a 365 day journal to help you create a fulfilling, expansive and abundant life, day by day, because it’s the day-to-day work that actually gets you where you want to go, that actually moves the need forward, that actually creates true shifts. And so, when you’re constantly keeping your mind focused on abundance and you’re giving it prompts to search for it in different ways, whether it’s about yourself or it’s about the world around you, your life, moment by moment, day by day, every step that you take, places you into a state of abundance and therefore, over time, helps you create this new abundant self concept. You begin to see yourself as an abundant person, as opposed to a person who nothing ever works out for you, as opposed to a person who never gets what they want, as opposed to a person who only ever experiences lack.
Step 2: Decide Your Pace
There’s two paces to choose from when manifesting a year of abundance. An aggressive pace or a relaxed pace.
An Aggressive Pace: Aggressive is more like a hyper focused pace. You’re totally zoned in on the result and the exact outcome that you want. This is great if you’re really obsessed with what you want to manifest. You can’t stop thinking about it in a healthy and empowered way. It consumes your mind, you’re so passionate about it, there’s a fire burning within you and you just have so much energy to dedicate to it. You’re willing to throw everything at it.
A Relaxed Pace: If you would like to take it at a more relaxed pace, this would be less focused on the specific result or results and more on the overall end state and end result that you want. This is great if you enjoy the journey of manifestation, if you’re enjoying the journey of who you’re becoming and what shows up on your path. This is like almost if you’re wanting to be surprised and delighted by life and you’re open to everything coming in different ways, they don’t necessarily have to come through the specific ways you want, but they can. You’re open to all of it. It’s more of a trust-focused way and there’s more focus on how you feel overall than on what you specifically want.
Based on the pace you have chosen, this is how you will approach the work from now on.
Step 3: Create the Vision
What do you actually want to manifest in the next 12 months? What abundance do you really want? What does a year of abundance actually look like to you? Have you thought about that? What is the full vision? You really must know what you want. You can go specific or non-specific.
Specific: Launch a new course this year and have 200 people sign up for it
Non-specific: Receive a large sum of money
Specific: Reach 100,000 YouTube subscribers or perhaps 1 million podcast downloads
Non-specific: Focusing on the general flow of people finding your business
Specific: You want to lose 20 pounds of fat or gain 20 pounds of muscle
Non-specific: Focusing on the daily wins and knowing that the result you desire is inevitable
You get to decide exactly what the vision is. But the point is that you decide it. The point is that you know it, you can see it, it is done, whether it is done in a non-specific way or it’s done in a specific way. But make sure you choose what that vision is.
Step 4: Skip to the End
The whole point of manifestation is to live in the end. To get what you want, you must live in the end, but most people aren’t disciplined enough to do that and also haven’t built enough trust in themselves to do it. And often, when you don’t trust yourself yet and you’re not that disciplined in it yet, you waver a lot. You begin to doubt, fears arise, you start to let different stories take over, whether they’re about yourself or whether they’re about something outside of you, but that begins to override you.
This is why I talk and will continue to talk nonstop about self-concept, because if you get your self-concept honed in, tight, clean, focused on what you want and who you want to be, living in the end becomes really easy. So assuming you’ve got your self-concept on point, how would living in the end look?
Well, there’s two ways that you can do this. Either through imagination, like visualization, and through your word, like the words that you speak or the words that you think. Pick a scene that either encapsulates all of what you want or you can create individual scenes.
VISUALIZING
A scene that encapsulates it all: Let’s say the abundance you want to manifest this year is a brand new house, 50k months from your business, your dream car, and, let’s say, you want to have a baby this year or get pregnant. A scene that encapsulates all of that could be you’re standing in the kitchen of your brand new house, it’s the morning, you’re making coffee, or maybe you’re making breakfast and you’ve got your phone next to you and you pick it up, you go onto your banking app and you check your bank account on your phone and you can see the transactions or your payments for the month or the week or the day or how many sales you made. Then you smile to yourself, you put the phone back down on the bench and then you look over to your living room where you can see your sweet baby playing with some toys or having tummy time. And then you look out the window for a moment at the sun rising and you take it all in and then, just as you go to move your focus back onto your baby, you notice your car in the driveway and you just give another little smile to yourself and then you return to your baby and that would be the end of the scene.
Individual scenes: Let’s say you wanted to manifest a relationship and healthy skin and new clients this year
Relationship: For your relationship you could imagine grocery shopping with your partner and just doing normal day to day things like going for a walk on the beach or making dinner together. You could also imagine things you’d love to hear your partner saying to you, maybe while you’re lying in bed together, and what you’d also love to say to them.
Healthy Skin: If your desire was to manifest healthy skin, you could imagine a scene where you’re looking in the mirror and you’re seeing smooth, clear skin, like it’s completely acne free. There’s no bumps or spots or redness anywhere, it’s just smooth. Or you could imagine someone complimenting you on your complexion. It could be someone you know, or it could be total stranger. Or you could imagine moving your hand up to your face and just feeling the soft, smooth skin, without any bumps or scars.
New Clients: If your desire was manifesting clients, you could imagine a new client sliding into your DMs and complimenting your work and interested in working with you. You could also imagine an application submission notification coming through on your phone, or you could even imagine a payment coming through.
AFFIRMING
And how we use words to live in the end is through affirming. And you can affirm in many different ways, like saying affirmations over and over again, through rampaging or riffing or through thinking. As long as all the messages you are telling yourself or thinking to yourself are of you being in the end of having what you want.
Creating a deeper relationship: He is so devoted to me and to our family. He is so loving and commanding and present. We both know we were made for each other. He is an incredible communicator. He sees and recognizes me so deeply. He knows how to lead me in our relationship. We have a phenomenal relationship. He’s always showering me with love. He’s so affectionate. He tells me how much he loves me all the time. He cares deeply for me. He’s so protective of me. He takes care of me. He’s so deeply in love with me.
Manifesting more money: Every move I make makes me more money. Money is bursting into my life. Money is flooding my bank account. Hordes of money come to me quickly and easily. I am completely living in financial overflow. There is so much money in the bank.
Manifesting a very successful YouTube channel: I’m now monetized on YouTube. I am making thousands of dollars every single month. I have 100,000 engaged, loyal, supportive, soulmate subscribers. All of my subscribers have become my customers. All of my subscribers have signed up to my courses and programs.
Everything is centralized around the fact you are now living the life as a person who has exactly what they want. Through the words that you tell yourself and the thoughts that you think and through the things that you see in your mind, together they create a very powerful and power packed punch of manifesting abundance this year.
Step 5: Take Natural Action
Natural action does not mean action taken for the sake of taking action. It also doesn’t mean forced action and it doesn’t mean overaction. It means natural action that comes naturally to you.
So I’ve been on this journey a very, very long time, right, I have learned all the different tips and tools and methodologies from different teachers of manifestation, and what I have found in the last two years from applying the law of assumption. It’s very similar to law of attraction, but there’s some differences. What I have learned is that true action comes naturally, you don’t have to try and take it.
When you’re living in the end, the action happens as a byproduct of doing that. The action happens naturally and more often than not you don’t even know that you’re taking it.
When you are taking deliberate action and you know is action that you want to take, it will feel good, it will feel really easy, it will happen naturally, you will really want to do it, you won’t feel forced at all, you will be on fire to do it. That’s the only time you should deliberately take that action when it feels like that. But other than that, all of the action steps will come to you. They will happen as a byproduct of living in the end, you won’t have to do a thing.
Unexpected Money Example: I have been playing with the idea of manifesting unexpected money in probably the last 30 days. It hasn’t been a big focus and it’s been very lighthearted because it’s not a massive goal of mine. I just wanted to play with the idea of receiving unexpected money rather than just through my business. I asked myself – If I manifest unexpected money all the time. It’s a thing that’s always happened and this is just what always happens. That’s my natural state. That’s how my life works. I just always receive surprise amounts of unexpected money. What is my self-concept? What is the end and what do I tell myself?
Self-Concept: It’s really easy for me to receive unexpected money.
The End: I would choose something nonspecific and see money just raining down on me or pouring into my bank accounts or just flooding my bank accounts.
I’d Tell Myself: Yeah, I always manifest unexpected money on demand, no matter what. I don’t even have to think about money and it’s always coming to me. I always get massive surprises of unexpected money coming to me. I love it. It just always happens. I don’t know why, but it always happens.
Results: So many random, unexpected sums of money started coming to me. At first it was like vouchers that were coming out of nowhere, fee waivers, refunds and even points I didn’t know I had to spend. And then sales of items that I was selling on Marketplace for the exact amount I wanted. I also received $5,000 unexpectedly through someone out of the blue, and then my investment returns suddenly started doubling.
I didn’t take any action to make any of that happen, except for the listings I had already put up on Marketplace. I didn’t do it because I wanted to receive unexpected money. I did it because I wanted to get rid of these things and I thought they were worth something.
The action will happen naturally. It will be a byproduct of living in the end. It will not feel forced. You will want to do it, it will be easy.
