  SPEAKER_00: And today I actually wanted to talk about something that brings a smile to my face, this concept of manifestation and manifesting dreams.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, some people will say the idea of manifestation is woo-woo.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: I have had experiences where if I really put my um thoughts in place as to what it is that I truly want, um I've I've seen I've seen those things come to fruition.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: So what even does manifesting mean?
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, manifestation involves being able to focus our thoughts and setting our intention on the desired outcome and then achieving that goal in real life.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: It is about imagining your life as you want it to be.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Manifesting techniques are based on the law of attraction and according to our thoughts and beliefs, act as powerful magnets, attracting the desired outcomes and transforming our lives.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now I will say that I do not believe that manifesting is just about saying what I want and then sitting back and not doing anything about it.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Manifestation also includes taking steps to work towards those things.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So really it all begins with you.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: The law of attraction allows you to attract the best opportunities in your life and to manifest your dreams because your minds can attract the best of the can attract both the best and worst of the things that we imagine.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: So if we've because the truth is if we focus on the negative, we're gonna see the negative, we're gonna experience more of the negative.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: If we focus on the positive, we're gonna experience things in a different way.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: So to manifest your dreams, you you have to give yourself permission to release all of the negative thoughts that you're having about the things that you really want to bring into your world, and instead set an intention for what it is you want in your world, and then allow yourself permission to take the steps to live into that intention.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: So it's setting the intention as the starting point and then taking action in order to live into that intention.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: So you have to remember that it is a conscious process.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: The best way to manifest your dreams is to train your mind to attract the desired outcomes that you want to achieve.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Most of us will subconsciously manifest things in our lives without even realizing it.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: So if we can actually bring things to our conscious mind, which is why vision boarding actually works.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Being able to take some time to create a vision board, many, many, many people, not all, but many people have reported that by having a vision board, they have lived into the goals and intentions that they've set for themselves.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want to start manifesting your dreams, first start with identifying what your goals are.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: A great acronym for goals is SMART, specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, or relevant and time-bound.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: These goals will help clarify what it is that you want to achieve and keep you motivated.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: And then the second step is to visualize success.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: What would it mean to you to reach that goal?
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: What would it feel like?
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: What would it be like?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: So if, for example, you were you set your SMART goal, what would your life be like when you got to that goal?
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: How would you be?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Who would you be?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: All of that.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's about visualizing what success looks like.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: The third thing is believe that success is possible.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: Having the belief in yourself that you're able to achieve the goals that you want to achieve is so important.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Make an action plan and write it down.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: The law of attraction doesn't work simply again by stating this is what I want and then not doing anything.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's about stating your attention, intention, and then coming up with a plan, making commitments to yourself, taking those aligned actions and following through.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then keep a log of your progress.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Keep a log of your progress, not because you want to criticize yourself if you're not as far along as you thought you'd be.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, it's about uh seeing how far you've come and really truly celebrating it.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because when we look at it from that perspective and we actually practice gratitude for that, we're gonna continue to move forward.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Identify roadblocks that you might face.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: You know, to manifest dreams, you need to identify what roadblocks might be in your way, and then ask yourself, and how do I want it, how do I want to deal with that?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because some of those obstacles might actually just be self-limiting beliefs.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so when we I can identify those self-limiting beliefs, we can challenge it with what's actually true versus what's not true.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: I mentioned this a minute ago, but practicing gratitude on a daily basis opens us up to what's possible.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: So research has definitely shown that practicing gratitude can significantly boost happiness and well-being.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Practicing gratitude can also help us create a more optimistic outlook.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: And when we're trying to manifest our goals and dreams, coming from a place of optimism will definitely keep moving us forward on that trajectory.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Stay focused and maintain balance.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we want to stay focused on our goal, but we don't want to lose this concept of having a balanced approach to our everyday life.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: So while we might have a goal from a financial perspective, that's great, but it's also about maintaining balance on our personal level as well.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Keep in touch with your why.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when we're trying to manifest our dreams, we need to understand what's our why.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Why do we want that?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Why do we want that goal?
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Goals are just goals unless we are really truly engaged with the goal.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Meditation, definitely helpful, manifesting dreams.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Because meditation allows for the ability to quiet that inner critic, quiet that inner chatter, and allow us to simply continue to move forward on the goals that we're setting for ourselves.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, coaching is all about goals, setting goals.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Where do I want to be?
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I right now and where do I want to be?
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: I often say that coaching is about a decision to move forward.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's a decision to become generative in our world instead of reactive.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's a decision to be engaged in our world rather than being an autopilot.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: So if you would like to discuss manifestation of your dreams, manifestation of your goals, manifestation of how do I move from where I am today to where I want to go, by all means feel free to book some time to speak with me about it at chatwithcomedy.com.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: And if coaching isn't the right fit, by all means, write down your goals, come up with them, ask yourself why is this important to me?
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: What would it mean to complete this goal and how would my life be different?
• 7:19
