I recently received a question from a young lady who is working on manifesting her dreams however she’s getting herself caught up in future. She’s afraid to live in the present moment. I thought I’d share some insights and a video from the archives on my YouTube channel here.
The thing about the future is that it doesn’t just pop up in front you as if out of some mystical space. The future arrives in every single present moment #leilaswisevibes.
Think of it this way: You have a desire for a new job that’s more aligned to your purpose. You feel excitement & eagerness about finally going after your dreams.
You know that your new job is coming, it’s getting closer, you know that the universe has lined it up. but…
Now – here’s the thing: You can CHOOSE to feel stressed or anxious about it. Or you can choose to INTENTIONALLY trust and feel good about it.
I would always choose the latter.
Feeling good on the way to your manifestations is what you are here to experience!
Feeling good/better/more is how you manifest your deepest desires.
In order to manifest the dream job, you’ve got to set the intention in each moment to feel good AND be willing to take ALIGNED actions – The kind of actions that inspire you as you step closer and closer towards your desire.
For example,
1. you set the intention to trust and feel good about your day and remain OPEN about HOW the universe is going to bring you closer to your dream job (i.e it’s closing the gap),
2. you’re browsing online and you read about a jobs fair which is ending the next day just down the road from you. you feel an inner nudge to go along.
3. Whilst you’re there, you feel the nudge to talk to someone in the cafe queue as you buy lunch. You end up having lunch together and it turns out this person is the boss who is looking for a candidate like yourself for the very job you are looking for. (Yes, life/the universe really does work like this!).
All you did was set the intention to trust and feel good about the process toward your dream job and the universe responded to your intention & vibration.
Have a watch of the video below for a few more prompts on how to set intentions.
How do I use intentions in my daily life?
I set TWO MAIN intentions every morning which are 1. To FEEL ALIVE like I promised God I would, when I was 12 years old. (I had attempted suicide and literally felt like i had nowhere else and no other option to turn my life around other than finally choosing to be happy and feel alive whilst changing my mindset and healing childhood trauma)
And, 2. To help as many people as I can throughout the day.
I then set mini- intentions throughout the day…”I intend/my intention is to help this relationship, my intention is to surrender, my intention is to let go, my intention is to show up, my intention is to take the risk, my intention is to try again. my intention is to help others, my intention is to forgive, my intention is to speak up, my intention is to walk away, my intention is to take a break…” you get the gist!
By setting intentions consciously throughout the day, I remain in the present moment and it feels so good and worthwhile to stay focused on my inner vision, my heart’s desires and life’s purpose.
This way, the future doesn’t ‘just turn up’. It is shaped by intention after intention from each present moment – so the present feels good every pebble stone of the way 🙂 and my life feels fuller because it’s made up of moments after moments, not a blur of a life where I’ve ended up somewhere I don’t want to be without realising how I ended up there.
Be intentional!
It’s your life!
And life is today, right here right now to remember you’ve definitely got it within you to make your dreams come true!
