Now letโ€™s discuss how we can practice these Universal Laws to help us shape and manifest the life we want.

How to Manifest

Always Start With Gratitude 

When working with the Universal Laws, it is always a good idea to start with Gratitude. When you are feeling grateful, you raise your vibrations and attract more of what you want in life. It is so much easier to manifest what you want when your vibrations are high and you are coming from a place of gratitude, not a place of lack.

A good place to start is to keep a gratitude journal. Write at least three things youโ€™re grateful for everyday. If you want to take your gratitude journal to the next level, include why you are grateful for those things.

How to Work With These Exercises

There are so many ways we can work with the Universe and co-create the life weโ€™ve always wanted. These Law of Attraction exercises all focus on positive thinking and acting as if the change has already happened. If you imagine the life you want in the future, it will always stay in the future. Imagine it as being your current reality. Using the present tense when manifesting helps get your subconscious mind working towards your goals. 

Another thing to remember when working on manifesting is to try and involve as many of your senses as possible. You want the experience to be as real and specific as possible. By imagining the how you feel, the sights, sounds, smells, textures and even tastes that you would experience, you are essentially convincing your brain that this is already your reality. It will go out of its way to create the reality you believe in. 

Manifesting Exercises

1. Start a Wish Journal

A great exercise to help you activate the Law of Attraction and create the things you want in your life is to start a wish journal. A wish journal is where you write about the things you want. When you write about what you want, it is important to do so in the present tense. For example if you are hoping to get your dream job you donโ€™t want to write โ€œI hope I get this job. Iโ€™ve dreamed about it since I was young.โ€ Instead you write something along the lines of โ€œI love my new job. This is where I always wanted to work. I am so grateful to finally be here.โ€

A key thing to remember when working on your wish journal is to add as much detail as possible. Using the job example again, what do you see? Are you in an office? Are you outside? Is it a sunny place? Is there artwork around you? Are you surrounded by nature? Is there artificial light or do you feel the sun on your skin? Are you in a big comfortable chair? Maybe you are relaxed and working from home? Do you feel excited, joyful, nervous or maybe confident and on top of the world? The more detail you can imagine it with, using all of your senses, the more real you make your wish. 

2. Create a Vision Board

If writing isnโ€™t your thing, you may want to try making a Vision Board. A vision board is a collage of pictures and motivational phrases that represent your dreams and goals. The images we use to make our vision board are representations of what we want to achieve, or the rewards we will receive if we accomplish our objectives.

Once youโ€™ve created your vision board, place it somewhere you will see it all the time. When you look at it, imagine yourself experiencing the things that are on your vision board. Use all your senses in your imagining. Sight, sound, feelings and emotions, scents, even tastes will help. You want to experience it as realistically as possible. Make sure to spend time looking at your vision board and imagining the things on it, everyday. 

Our dreams evolve and expand as our imagination grows. Donโ€™t be afraid to update your vision board to reflect your growth.

*Vision boards can also be digital. You can read about digital vision boards in my post How to Create a Vision Board on Pinterest.

3. Chequing Account Exercise

This exercise not only helps stretch your imagination, but also helps you feel more comfortable spending money on things you want. Donโ€™t worry, no real money is being used.

The first thing you need to do for this exercise is to set up your imaginary banking system. You can create imaginary cheques, use a blank notebook or use a budgeting app on your phone. Whatever works for you, as long as you are able to create deposits and withdrawals with descriptions.

You will repeat this exercise daily. On your first day, deposit $1000. Then spend it in any way you want. Note the withdrawals and what they were used for. You can also choose to save your money, but spending it helps to stretch your imagination. It also  encourages the idea of flow; money flowing in and out.

On the second day deposit $2000 into your account then spend it. Do this everyday for at least a week or two. Allow your imagination to run wild. It is only a game after all.

4. Small Creations 

In this exercise you are going to unlock the Law of Attraction by working on manifesting things in a short period of time. Spend time thinking about what you want to create in the next week or two. Think of small things. This exercise is more about building faith in your manifesting abilities, then achieving your goals. You want to start with simple things that are enjoyable, but still believable. 

Start by quieting your mind. You can use meditation or any other technique you like. Then, think of a couple things you would like to happen this week. Try to think of things that are not part of your usual routine, but not completely implausible either. Imagine those things happening. Spend just a few moments really focusing on those things happening. Again try to use as many senses as you can and really pay attention to how you feel. When you are done visualizing them, forget about them, move on with your week and see what happens.  

This is a great exercise to improve your manifesting abilities and to help improve belief in your abilities.

5. The Universes To-Do List

I donโ€™t know about you, but I always have a huge and overwhelming to-do list. This next exercise, (that I learned from Ester and Abraham Hicks), has helped me relieve some of the overwhelm.

If you donโ€™t already have a to-do list, make one. Then create a second one for the Universe. You are going to take things from your original list and delegate them to the Universe. Look for things that are not urgent or that you just arenโ€™t ready to deal with and move them onto the Universes to-do list. As you move each item, trust that it will get taken care of. Have faith that the Universe has got your back.

Keep moving things over until your original list is a little more manageable. Donโ€™t forget to check off completed items on the Universeโ€™s list.
