In the summer of 2022, I was single and frustrated with the chaotic dating scene of my life. I was tired of men playing games, sending mixed signals, and ghosting. It was all too exhausting for me to put up with.
After a particularly discouraging experience with a guy I was talking to, I wrote down a list of all the qualities I wanted in my dream man. Little did I know that this journal entry would change my life.
Fast forward a month or two, and I meet the love of my life – my best friend, completely unexpectedly. Our relationship is beyond anything I could have imagined. It’s like the universe conspired to bring us together. It’s more than anything I could have scripted, prayed for, or even thought about. I let go of any expectations and trusted the universe, and boy, did it deliver!
Looking back at my journal entry, I was shocked to see how everything fell into place exactly as I had written. It made me truly understand the power of thoughts and manifestation.
So, let’s get into how to manifest like a pro.
1. Get clear on what you want, and be as specific as possible.
I’ve always been a die-hard romantic at heart, never one for casual dating or hookups. It just doesn’t sit right with me. As an INFJ, I seek depth and authenticity in my connections. So, I have always visualized a healthy, long-term relationship for myself and wrote the emotions I hoped to feel when in that relationship.
For example, I hope to feel completely safe and understood in my relationships. In addition to that, I like to surround myself with people who will always uplift and empower me. What kind of emotions are you hoping to feel in your ideal relationship? Write it down.
2. Do what best feels natural to you
I love bringing my desires to life using scripting, affirmations, and vision boards. When I script, I always write as if my dreams have already come true. The important thing is to do what feels most natural and exciting for you so you can enjoy the manifestation process.
3. Take action steps in your day-to-day life around it.
Another way to meet the universe halfway is to do your part. In sticking with the relationship analogy, I wanted a meaningful, long-term connection, so I stopped wasting time on those whose goals didn’t align with mine. Break up with the person you’re staying with because you’re scared to be alone. Take that leap of faith that affirms you believe it’s real. Dress up, go out with your friends or take yourself out on dates, have fun, be confident, and meet new people. Doing this allows the universe to bring the right person into your life. This is called doing the footwork for the universe.
4. Focus on feeling and visualizing
Here’s a brilliant manifestation tip that my friend shared with me. She used it to manifest her perfect partner. Picture yourself experiencing all the glorious details of your dream relationship—the laughter, holding hands, cooking together, or strolling on the beach—whatever symbolizes the ultimate relationship bliss to you.
The key is to immerse yourself in the vision by adding as many details as possible: the sights, sounds, smells, and most importantly, the feelings. Feel the joy of that deep connection, freedom, safety, and love with that person. The focus should be on the emotions this connection stirs within you.
Getting caught up in the shallow details of their physical appearance can be limiting, and asking for “man in finance, trust fund, blue eyes” might bring you a gorgeous jerk … again. So, stay open to the surprise the universe has in store for you.
5. Reprogram your mind to attract goodness and live in the end.
Know that you’re worthy. Remind yourself of all the goodness within you and all the beauty you already have. When manifesting, do it from a place of feeling complete and deserving, not from a place of lacking or feeling needy. You are loved and cherished by the universe. Come from this place of power and deep connection.
6. Don’t go looking for love; be the love you want in your life, and it will come to you
Fall in love with yourself first. Only then, you’ll be able to give someone else your unconditional love.
7. Act as if you already are or have something despite what your world shows you.
Feel it in your bones that your wish is coming to life. Detach yourself from the desperation and restlessness of needing it now. Surrender it all to the mystical universe, which knows when to deliver it in the perfect time and way.
8. Always be grateful
No matter where you’re in life, be aligned with the energy of gratitude.
9. Become fully content within yourself
If you want a partner who goes to the gym and cares for their health, you must be that person for yourself first. Similarly, if you’re looking for love, then fill your cup with that love first. In my case, I stopped looking for love. Not in an ‘I don’t need no man’ attitude, but rather, ‘I value love and relationships, but I am also very content in being single forever because I cherish my happiness and life.’
