I Manifested It All In 6 Months, Now I'm Going To Do It Again.
And I'm going to show you how to do it too.
Dear Dreamer,
Six months ago I decided I wanted to leave my life in LA behind and become a full time digital nomad.
Today I write to you from Cornwall, England.
Writing about manifesting my dream life while looking at a castle off in the distance is pretty cool. Don’t mind me, just having a pinch me moment.
Today I had the realization that the way I set out to manifest this version of my life worked. It worked so thoroughly and exactly, that I can replicate it and set forth on the next version of life I want to bring into reality.
So I’m going to tell you the story of how I went from in debt, living mostly happy but not fulfilled in LA, to debt free, filled with whimsy, and living anywhere I want. And then I’m going to share how I’m rinse and repeat-ing the process to do it for the next vision for my life.
And I’m drinking this aperol spritz as I write so if the post gets more and more chaotic by the end it’s not my fault.
*Important note before we get into it: if you haven’t yet gotten your Human Design chart, go do that and find out what kind of manifestor you are. We are all designed to manifest and magnetize in different ways. As a non-specific, active manifestor, this post details a process that works for me. But if you are specific or passive, you’re going to want to slightly shift this process to actually work for you.
For me, I focus on the feeling I want to call in, then I live in it as much as I possibly can.
When I set this manifestation in motion:
I always knew LA would be a temporary home for me, and after a year and a half, I had finally created a life I actually enjoyed in a city I didn’t particularly love.
Which is, of course, right when the Universe says all right it’s time to move on to what’s next!
In November of last year, I decided to leave LA for good. You can read that whole story here:
Why I'm leaving LA to Travel Full Time
You know when you can feel a version of your life just waiting for you. And you’ve felt it for so long, dreamed about it, Pinterest boarded about it, talked about it? And then something shifts inside of you and within a month your life as you know it has crumbled and changed? And suddenly it’s like the runway has cleared, the engine is going whether you…
I had a flight out of the country on April 7th and a billion ideas of what might be waiting for me out there. So many things floating around in my mind including the billion things I needed to do, sort, and accomplish before any of it was even possible.
So I sat down, and I got really clear: what do I want and need when I get on that plane.
I journaled about it. A lot. I had a lot of fear going into it. Money fear mostly. So I got specific and I created a sort of prayer or manifestation phrase to return to when I got overwhelmed by it all.
Dear Universe,
When I get on that plane I will be
Debt free
Abundantly resourced
And prepared to travel indefinitely.
Thank you,
Julia
This was my lifeline.
Anytime I felt overwhelmed or caught up in all the details of what it meant to actually make that happen, especially when I started to worry that it might not happen, I returned to this.
I trusted that the coordinates I’d put into the GPS of the universe were received, and now it’s my job to listen to the voice telling me which way to turn.
That was the next step:
Listen.
How is the Universe trying to speak to me? What signs are coming my way? What feelings or sudden knowings are appearing inside of me?
And the final step was this:
To take aligned action.
That inner voice was guiding me in the direction of my ask. It’s my job to take the steps required to get there.
If you want to catch the bus, you still have to walk to the bus stop. And if you put it off and ignore the signs telling you to go, you might need to run so you don’t miss it.
For this massive change specifically, my aligned actions consisted of a lot of packing, selling or donating almost everything I own, and doing the nitty gritty things it takes to leave a life behind and move abroad.
It also included applying to a couple schools I felt called to, reaching out to friends I knew I wanted to see, and spending time every day in my active belief/prayer/manifestation energy, never letting my doubts tell me it wasn’t going to work out.
So here I sit in full digital nomad mode, aperol half gone, dessert incoming, ready to step into the next level of this.
You see, I really want to live in London. I have for years. I was just too scared to claim that for myself until recently.
As I started to really feel into my desire to live in London I had a vision of what it could look like. This vision was so clear, so beautiful, I decided that I didn’t want any other reality to come true.
There are some big things that have to happen before fulfilling that vision becomes possible. And lately I’ve started to get overwhelmed with how the heck I’m going to get there. Feelings of doubt have surfaced that it’s even possible, and worry’s crept in about all the things I need I need to do to make it happen.
Then today I remembered: I’ve been here before. Facing an impossible mountain and yet, here I stand at the top of it, looking out at the next.
So today I sat down to get clear:
In the vision I see, I’m having my coffee and writing my morning pages on the terrace of my home in the city I love, right as the weather turns from the balmy summer to a crisp fall.
I zeroed in on that feeling. Sitting there in the life I desire. And I pinpointed exactly what it is I want to call in in order to make this possible.
Dear Universe,
When fall comes, and the air shifts from warm summer to crisp fall I will have
A visa secured
A thriving intuitive practice and creative business
A home in which I feel filled with love.
Universe please help me, in all the ways you do, to make this miracle of life come true.
Thank you,
Julia
These are now my coordinates. This is the prayer I can repeat, the lifeline I will return to when things feel overwhelming or unsure.
From here I listen.
From here I take action.
I trust that the Universe has heard my ask and received my destination of desire. And now I must show up with the dedication and belief of the version of me that already has it, that believes in its inevitability.
Are you ready to do do some manifesting?
Get your journal, I’ve broken down the process for you to get clear and get manifesting:
The Process:
Run your Human Design chart if you haven’t already. Look at the arrows at the top of your chart, specifically the bottom two, to find out what type of manifestor you are. This is the site I used to figure it out: https://justfollowjoy.com/blog/human-design-101-what-are-the-four-arrows-what-do-they-mean
Get clear on what it is you want to call in. For me it’s usually a vision or a feeling that I can sense calling to me from the future. And I simply daydream within it, focusing on the feelings. But if you’re a specific manifestor, you can focus on the details more. Spend more time on this than you think you need. Open your journal and write on it for a while. See what comes through.
Specify exactly what you are going to ask for, break it down into three things. For me, there are a few ways I could get a visa and I don’t particularly care which way it comes through. So instead of praying to get into a school or get accepted for the Global Talent Visa (which would be too limiting for a non-specific manifestor) I’m instead asking for exactly what it is that I need and want: a visa. In whatever form and way it shows up.
Declare it. You can use the format I used today, you also don’t have to. Just keep it close to your mind and heart so you can return to it as often as you please. Write it down in your journal, your notes app, speak it out loud as often as you can and believe in it fully every time you do.
Dear Universe,
I am now calling in:
a
b
c
Please help me, in all the ways that you do, to make this miracle of life come true.
Thank you.
Listen. Pay attention to what the universe is asking of you. Stay sensitive to the world around you and ask for a specific sign if you need some extra guidance.
Take aligned action. As you hear that voice or see the signs that say turn here, go there, you better be taking those turns! Go back to your Human Design and look at your strategy and authority for how exactly you are designed to make decisions. Then take the steps that get you further to where you want to be. And finally:
Keep the faith. I know, it’s cheesy, but if your actions are the motor, your belief is the fuel. No belief, no movement. Assume the mindset of the version of you that already has it and take your steps from that place of inevitability.
And watch your dreams come true.
This is an ongoing process, a daily mindset practice.
To keep yourself in that state of belief and motivated to take the steps is honestly the hardest part. But it’s where the true magic is.
Not the declaration. Not the realization of what you really want.
The daily acts of showing up.
Over and over again.
But I sit here, writing to you from the top of a mountain I thought insane six months ago telling you:
You can do it.
And I can guarantee that if you want it, it wants you too.
Okay my love. My spritz and ice cream are all gone and it’s time for me to sleep like the dead.
Happy manifesting, my friend.
Love,
Julia Mae
