How to Manifest Your Next Career Opportunity
Fast forward now, and I finally get why this manifest is important. As a Christian believer like me, I will manifest by praying to God. After I
understand this manifest, I think I can do manifest and pray to God.
What is manifestation, and how
does it work when it comes to making big career moves? does
manifestation actually work?
What Is Manifestation?
Manifesting is a concept that
can empower us—it leaves us to control our futures instead of chalking what
happens (or doesn’t) up to fate or chance.
To manifest something is to clearly focus
on and think about it, to secure yourself in a mindset where you so firmly
believe in what you’re manifesting that it is bound to come your way.
To summarize it in one sentence: the energies
you exude will return the same kind of energies.
Does Manifesting Actually Work?
Based on my reading and research, there is no scientific evidence that proves that manifestation works. It depends. And even though there aren’t before and after studies, plenty of mental health professionals believe in the positive impact manifesting can have on a person’s overall wellness. Especially when it's practiced for the right reasons.
The Law of Attraction
Have you heard of the Law of Attraction? I heard of
this back when I’m student and I remember that, the law of attraction is the
ability to attract whatever you focus on.
But it’s not as simple as just wishing for
something and having it appear. It takes intense focus, dedication, and often
time.
Even though we may not realize it, our
thoughts and energies really do rule our lives. This becomes evident
quickly: If we are negative and feeling
down, negative things seem to come our way.
The same is true about the correlation between
positive thoughts and positive experiences. We are consistently manifesting,
whether we mean to or not, so we might as well learn to use it in our
favor.
Although the Law of Attraction applies to,
it’s not an easy skill to master. Because it’s a simple concept, many
people are often misled into thinking manifesting is a
simple self-help practice full of crystals, good vibes,
and astrology talk.
It’s a serious habit requiring
consistent, focused, and constant intent.
How Do You Manifest
Something?
The good news is that you can overcome negative
self-talk and start to manifest things without hiring an expensive
manifestation coach or watching a quick but vague social media/tiktok video.
The New York Times bestselling author and life coach Gabby Bernstein
suggests five principles for manifesting your desires. Here's the
breakdown of her manifestation method in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Suspend Disbelief
This step, what Bernstein calls "clearing
space," is necessary before even beginning the actual manifesting
process.
It involves ridding yourself of the disbelief that
you can’t/won’t be happy—clearing out that space in your head so you’re no
longer blocking yourself from your great potential. Says Bernstein, "Before
you begin the manifestation process, you must take the necessary time to
release all your disbelief in your power to be happy."
Desiring your dream job? Stop
telling yourself that it’s impossible to get, too competitive, you’re not
qualified, etc. Cut those limiting beliefs and negative emotions out. Believe
that you can get it and that you’ll kill it. That’s your first step.
Step 2: Clarify What You're
Actually After
…and get specific.
In order to get what you truly desire, you must
be crystal clear about what exactly that is. Clarify your
intentions so that you know exactly what it is you’re seeking. Bernstein
suggests you make a list of precisely what you want because
"this list helps you clarify your intentions and access a vibrant mental
picture of what you desire." And most important, according to Bernstein,
is that you get clear about how you want to feel. When you
clarify what you want to feel, you can start to tap into those feelings.
What appeals to you about the job? The company
atmosphere? The flexible hours? The opportunity to exercise your creativity? Write it all down.
Then think about how these aspects will make you feel—fulfilled, proud,
entertained? Get specific!
Step 3: Set Aside Actual Time to
Imagine Experiencing Reaching Your Goals
Once you’ve set those clear intentions, take
time each day to soak in the feeling of what you want. This can be done in
various ways, but meditation and visioning exercises are popular.
The more you take time to feel the feeling of what you ultimately desire,
the closer you will be to attaining it.
Carve time out of each day to take action. Sit in
your favorite outdoor spot or walk a quiet path and really envision yourself
where you want to be. Soak in the feeling of shaking your future boss’s
hand and accepting the position, completing your first big project at the new
job, establishing healthy and strong connections with your coworkers, etc.
You can also try visualization techniques,
reciting positive affirmations, and setting aside any negative thoughts that
arise in the process.
Step 4: Stop Worrying So
Much
Bernstein calls this the "Chill!"
principle. But basically: patience and faith are key.
To really manifest your wants
into reality, it’s crucial
to relax and wait without anxiety. Understand that the universe may
not be on the same time schedule as you, but that it knows better anyway.
Step 5: Have a Little
Faith
“Getting in the know” is a natural occurrence.
Principles one to four will guide you to being in the know—a state where you no
longer fear or experience doubt. Instead, you know you’re exactly where you
need to be. Says Bernstein, "When you feel it, you live
it—regardless of what is happening on the outside. In time, the universe
catches up with your energy and your desires come into form. "
Remember that it ultimately comes from the
inside—if you feel it internally, you can live it, regardless of where you
currently are. The universe will catch up eventually as your desires manifest
into form.
Have faith in where you are, and remember it’s
where you need to be. Your desired job or position will come when it’s
meant to. Until then, trust the process.
How to
Manifest Something by Writing It Down
Since manifesting your goals is a collaboration
between you and the universe that will require action to see results, it’s
important to make manifestation part of your daily routine.
For example, if you wanted to land a new job,
you might set the action to have one informational interview each month. The
action is the informational interview.
One of the best ways to create a new routine is by putting
pen to paper!
Start by following the steps above to get
really specific about what you want. Be detailed and concise. For
example, instead of saying I want to be a CEO one day, which is still very
broad, develop a more detailed picture. What’s the company? Who do you work
with? What is it like to interact with your team, etc?
Use The 369
Method
Next, grab your favorite journal and
write it out. A popular technique is the 369 method.
You write down what you want in the following
order: 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon, and 9 times at
night for 33 or 45 days.
You could also write out your goals each day in
your journal as letters to the universe.
Make a
Vision Board
Create a vision board or journal to help
you see your daily goals. Keep this in a place where you can see it
often to put you in the right mood and increase your motivation.
The fridge, your desk, next to your bed are all good options.
Start
Journaling
We mentioned this above, but it’s worth repeating.
Carve out 10 minutes daily to journal and reflect on your actions to reach
your specific goals. You can even write in the 3rd person as your
future self. What does your future self feel right now?
Include the negative feelings as well and
address how you'll work through them. Positivity is important but we know it's
also helpful to envision the challenges you might encounter and how you'll
overcome them so you still reach your goals vs quit.
Keep a
Gratitude Journal
We know the frustration that can set in
when results don't happen as quickly as you want. However, even if things take
a bit longer to happen, it’s important to acknowledge what you do have and be
grateful. That’s where gratitude letters and gratitude journals can
help!
Meditation
Bernstein is a big promoter of daily meditation. By
now, you know there are a zillion apps you can use to get started, like Headspace.
Prayer
We’re not talking about believing in a higher
power. You can use prayer or spirituality to focus on your goals,
progress, and feelings. From here, determine
the specific actions you want to take.
55x5 Technique
You write out an affirmation or mantra 55 times a day, five days in a row.
Sound silly to you? This technique helps to send the right signals to
your subconscious—and it can have a huge impact.
I hope this article can be helpful for you.
