How To Harness The Power of Manifestation This New Year
So you've survived 2020, and while it may not seem much, it's no easy feat to stay sane and be a productive human being in the midst of a pandemic. However, 2021 also offers you the perfect opportunity to harness the power of manifestation, and not just to attract "love and light"!
People often think of New Year as a time for a fresh start, and while you could rewire your brain for change every minute of every day, to start the year with meaningful intentions is more symbolic and can bring lasting change.
The Law of Attraction is one of the Universal Laws that emphasizes the power of your mind. What you believe and constantly think of will soon become your reality.
This law's iconic line is that "like attracts like," which means that whatever mindset you are currently in ultimately affects your waking hours.
If you choose to dwell on your fears and insecurities rather than empower yourself, you'll soon feel like the Universe is against you.
However, if you already believe that you are blessed and on the path of change, you'll be more perceptive to the opportunities offered to you!
The power of manifestation is not merely a trick that you should study vigorously, for you are continually harnessing it every day, albeit subconsciously. In fact, manifestation comes in many forms across various religions.
The key here is that you only have to become aware of your power in forging your own life. Stop falling into the belief that life happens to you! You make life happen, and while there may be many situations that are out of your control.
You can control how you react, so reclaim that power, and choose to harness the Universe to benefit your life instead.
How To Harness The Power of Manifestation This New Year
Clarify your intentions for the new year
Reassess and realign by asking for clarity. You can never attain change if your thoughts are muddled and you don't have clarity for the future.
Of course, you won't know for sure, but once you pinpoint what you truly desire, you can practically create an action plan towards it.
Write down your intentions.
Once you have clarity, it's now finally time to write down your intentions. It may seem like a piece of outdated advice, but there is actual power in it.
"Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard." ― David McCullough
People who underestimate writing down intentions either fear the process or are merely aimless. In fact, according to a research study, you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals when you write them down!
Writing your goals vividly helps rewire your brain to recall them, causing you to take action that aligns with it continually. The key here in setting intentions is that they are S.M.A.R.T.
They have to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timebound. Of course, this can feel overwhelming at first, but you have to create a foundation for your intentions because there's a huge chance that you'll abandon it in a span of 7 days just because it's not specific.
Also, don't overwhelm yourself by setting goals that are too big for you at the moment! You can divide them into chunks so you can monitor them consistently.
For example, you intend to be more abundant this year. Then you have to set a practical goal when it comes to your income, spending habits, and your general lifestyle. It doesn't have to be overly detailed; it just has to be simple, practical, and doable.
Write down your intentions for the new year with focus, and don't forget to enjoy the process.
Set rituals, not resolutions
Notice that we don't mention any new year's resolutions here. Instead, we focus on intentions and rituals. Setting daily practices can help you stay consistent and feel aligned with your intentions.
It won't feel that much at first, but once you continually practice and take action with it, you'll soon feel more empowered and your manifestations coming true.
These rituals may be in the form of daily affirmations or mantra meditation with crystals. This is perfect, especially if you have different intentions for each day.
Citrine for manifesting abundance
Carnelian for manifesting creativity
Amethyst for manifesting serenity
Activate these crystals through meditation accompanied by mantras so you can reinforce your manifestations on a subconscious level.
These practices of mindfulness are beneficial, especially that crystals also amplify the power of manifestation.
Release the need to control the outcome
You may have done all the "tricks" out there for manifestation, but you might sometimes be wondering that it just doesn't seem to work. The truth is, there's a huge chance that you are expecting your manifestations in a specific form.
Let go of this kind of need because the Universe always works in different ways you can never begin to imagine.
You might be manifesting a job promotion, yet it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have that. Maybe, you'll be given an opportunity instead of a new career that surpasses your initial expectation.
Remember that the Universe only works for you and never against you.
So release this need to control the outcome and be more receptive to the changes that come into your life instead.
Practice gratitude and be open to receiving
Last but not the least, is to be grateful for your life. Appreciate the little things, bask in the beauty of the mundane, start being receptive to change no matter how trivial or uncomfortable it may be at first.
Manifesting the life you want doesn't mean you get to neglect the life you are currently living.
"Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals.
If you aren't grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more."― Roy T. Bennett
Manifesting should be done to grow profoundly rather than to fit a superficial picture of success. If you simply want to manifest abundance so that you can brag to others about your career, it is not the right way to go.
Harness the power of manifestation for your empowerment but not at the expense of your ego. Remember to be intentional this new year and create a life full of meaning!
