Because the thing is… sometimes we manifest at lightning speed and it seems like the miracles and blessings are falling from the sky right into our lives…

And other times… we hear crickets. 

When this happens, it can become easy to lose faith and start questioning whether or not the Universe heard you. Spoiler alert: the Universe is always listening, and you’ve been heard.

But if your manifestations aren’t happening as fast as you’d like or expect them to…

Here are my favorite manifestation hacks to speed up the process.

1. Remove any subconscious blocks preventing you from manifesting your dreams.

When manifesting, we often only think about the law of attraction. This law basically means that what you focus on expands and you attract more of what you focus on into your life.

Focus on the positive, you’ll have more positive experiences in your life. Focus on the negative, you’ll have more negative experiences in your life.

The thing is, if deep down in your subconscious mind something contradicts the manifestation you want to bring in, you won’t be able to manifest it – no matter how much you focus on it. 

For example, if you’re trying to manifest $10,000/month in your business or attract your soulmate but there’s a part of you that feels like you’re not worthy of that amount of money or that kind of love, then you won’t be able to manifest those outcomes because the energy of unworthiness is subconsciously blocking your heart’s desires.

True manifesting is about so much more than just the law of attraction. Removing all the subconscious blocks is arguably the most important part of the manifestation process and it’s often overlooked. 

In fact it’s so important that I wrote an entire blog about it! Check it out to learn how you can tap into and release these blocks so that you can easily and gracefully manifest all your desires. 

2. Get crystal clear on what you truly desire

You may think your intention to the Universe was super clear, but if you haven’t yet manifested your desires, it’s an invitation to reflect and become crystal clear on what you desire.

I like to journal and ask myself this question: “If ANYTHING was possible, what do I truly want?”

Not what your partner, or your kids, or society, or what your favorite influencer wants. But what do YOU really want? 

Sitting in stillness and being intentional here is really important so that you can connect to your heart. 

Answering this question can actually be really exciting and expansive and I like to turn it into a fun visioning ritual to make it really intentional. 

I recommend getting a cute journal that makes you happy (I like this one), diffusing some lavender oil to create a relaxing and safe ambiance, and getting crystal clear by writing in your journal what you want in any 3 areas of your life. 

Areas you can choose to explore are career, your relationship with yourself, your health, finances, your relationship with friends, family, or a partner, fun and recreation, charitable contribution… the list goes on and on. And on! ;)

Just pick 3 areas to start. Laser in and get clear on what YOU truly want in those areas. And watch the magic happen. 

3. Write power statements for each area as if it’s already happened.

This is one of my favorite manifestation hacks!

When you write and say these statements as if they already happened, it not only pumps you up and raises your vibration making you more of a magnet to your desires, but it also helps to remove some of those subconscious blocks I talked about earlier.

An example of a power statement you could have is: I’m so grateful to manifest $5,000 per month with grace and ease.

Write these statements in your journal everyday and bonus points if you say them out loud in front of the mirror as well. 

4. Intentionally manifest when you’re in a lucid state.

Manifesting is all about harnessing our internal power to influence our external reality and the easiest way we can access the full amount of our internal power is when we’re in a lucid state.

This is because when you’re more lucid, there are little to no subconscious blocks getting in the way of your manifestations. You are actually much clearer in this state than compared to the rest of your day, and you are also much more open to receiving your desires as well as the support needed to manifest them into your reality.

You enter into lucid states when you’re meditating, before bed, and right when you wake up.

If you can plan your manifestation practices (like the journaling for clarity exercise mentioned above) for first thing in the morning or right before bed, it adds extra fuel to the manifestation engine and can help you shift your reality much faster.

5. Have a self care ritual.

I’ve said this so many times but it’s so essential to the process of manifesting.

Having a regular and dedicated self care practice helps you ground, be more present throughout the day, and ultimately it helps you have the awareness and ability to catch limiting thoughts so you can come back to your heart and refocus on what you want to be creating in this life.

I wrote an entire blog about my self care practices and how they are an intentional part of my day and manifestation process so you can use this as a starting off point to use in your manifestation practice as well.

If you want a simple self care practice that you can easily incorporate now to help you live from the heart and manifest your desires, you can download my free journal prompts as a quick and easy way to get started.  

If your manifestations aren’t happening as fast as you’d like them to, it’s really important to remember to take the pressure off yourself (and the Universe!).

Sometimes we manifest rapidly and sometimes things take longer to materialize, but there are lessons and magic in both scenarios. 

It’s really important to let yourself off the hook, let go of perfectionism, and make the conscious and empowered choice to love and honor yourself no matter what.

This will keep you in your heart which is what will ultimately guide you into manifesting a life wilder than your wildest dreams.

For those of you reading who aren’t familiar with The Secret, it talks about manifestation based solely on the law of attraction. And the law of attraction basically means we manifest what we think about.

In a nutshell, the law of attraction states that negative thoughts attract negative experiences and positive thoughts attract positive experiences.

You know I’m all about manifesting the life of your dreams and I’ve talked about this many times before…

What you focus on expands! 

We are incredibly powerful and our thoughts can be our biggest asset when it comes to manifestation. 

When we know how to work with our thoughts – magic happens. When our thoughts are working against us… well… we end up creating more of what we don’t want.

According to The Secret (and many other manifestation teachers), there are 3 main steps to manifestation: 

1. Connect with your heart and truth
2. Get clear on what you truly desire
3. Feel and believe as if it already happened

These are all very important steps but the thing is, there’s a missing link that not many people talk about. A ‘secret’ to The Secret if you will.

And if this missing piece isn’t addressed, it can actually block you from receiving what you’re calling in. But don’t worry love, I got you covered!

So what is this mysterious 4th step in manifestation?

What is this illusive secret to The Secret?

The secret is, you must first learn how to discern the difference between your ego stories and your intuitive truth and heart. 

Since what you focus on expands, it’s so important to become aware of whether you are creating from your ego or if you’re creating from your heart. 

Finding the differences in those stories will lead us to discover whether a thought is an ego based fear, or a real and true heart’s desire. 

This is a lot easier said than done because the ego is often really sneaky in the ways it blocks us from knowing how we actually think or feel. 

As soon as you start to think about all of the abundant things that you desire… your ego will show up with stories trying to convince you why you need to sabotage it because you aren’t good enough or why it will never be enough.

Our ego often tells us lies that we’ve been conditioned to believe are true, like we need to look a certain way, or make a certain amount of money, or have a certain type of relationship in order to feel worthy of love. 

To uncover our intuitive truth, we need to be able to process the emotions and patterns that are often hidden between the lines of the stories that the ego creates. 

To accomplish this, we have to face our fears and simply let ourselves feel our feelings. Sometimes, we subconsciously suppress our feelings – some feelings more than others depending on the ego’s level of resistance – but we have to feel the feelings in order to be free of them. 

You have to feel in order to heal, love.

Trust me, I know how scary it can be to feel your feelings, especially if you’re used to running from them or numbing them out in some way. 

Here’s a ritual I use whenever I need to go inward and process some heavy feelings:

I first cleanse my space with this sage spray to clear out stuck energy and invite in a fresh new perspective.

I journal – of course! If you’re new around here, I’m a journal queen and I talk about the benefits of journaling A LOT! I love this journal because it’s pretty and gets me excited to sit down and process my thoughts.

And lastly, I meditate to invite in space for clarity to help me process.

If you want to start processing your emotions so you can manifest the life of your dreams but are finding it hard to calm your mind, check out my free 3 minute meditation here. This is a perfect practice if you want to start your day mindfully and with power and intention.

No need to be shy about it, love! I do too! Money is a beautiful thing and we all deserve to have it. 

And after struggling with money blocks in my own life, I’m here to share with you the simplest practices that have worked to manifest so much love, joy, and abundance of all forms into my life – money included.

Here’s the thing- money is energy and flows in and out of our lives based on our capacity to receive it. 

You might be thinking, “Ummm, I’m pretty sure I’m open to receiving XYZ amount per month in my business, find my dream home, and lock down my dream partner… but it’s not happening. So what’s going on?”

The thing is- we might think we’re open to receiving all the money and abundance the Universe has to offer, but deep down, there’s something within us that contradicts that belief. 

And that’s what makes manifesting money feel really heavy and stressful. 

In order to shift into an abundant mindset and manifest the money you want, the first step is to look at the meaning and power you’re giving to money to see if it’s coming from your ego (fear/lack mentality), or your heart (trust and abundance).

If you want more money because you think it will make you feel more:

• Successful
• Accomplished
• Worthy
• Good enough
• Safe

It won’t work.

When you need the money in order to feel a certain way, you give all your power away to your ego. This keeps you living inside your head, spinning in chaos, and unable to slow down and look at what you’re really feeling beneath the surface.

Those parts of you that feel like they need more money in order to feel worthy, accomplished, safe, etc… are actually parts of you that feel scared, rejected, and not good enough… and they are asking to be heard.

Sure- you can ignore these uncomfortable feelings and you might feel amazing when you first manifest more money. But if the energy it came from was coming from the ego, that amazing feeling (or the money) won’t last. Trust me.

The reason is because the safety, security, and feelings of worthiness you’re looking for don’t exist outside of yourself. 

They don’t happen because you have a lot of money.

Or because you have a hot husband.

Or a perfect body.

Those thoughts and beliefs are all coming from the fear based egoic mind.

The feelings you’re hoping more money actually brings you – the safety, peace, calm, flow, security, happiness – ALL the good stuff – come when you truly see that these already exist within you.

When we stop looking outward for validation through money or other things and turn inward – and actually show up for our uncomfortable feelings – this is when we naturally fall into our heart space.

This is where we remember that we are already safe, loved, supported, and worthy of abundance.

This is the space where anything and everything is possible. Including lots of money. ;)

Ok love, it’s time to get to the good stuff! 

Here are 5 ways to attract more money and abundance into your life and sustain it.

1. Check in with your ‘come from’ 

When you were thinking about attracting/generating the money, was your energy coming from your ego? 

Were you coming from a place of fear, lack, or validation? 

Or were you coming from your heart and a place of trust, surrender, and abundance? 

This is so important because since money is energy, the energy that you come from when attracting/generating it is what’s going to direct the outcome of your manifestation.

So if you’re coming from ego, fear, or lack, one of two things will happen when you manifest the money:

Either you won’t feel worthy of it so you’ll end up self-sabotaging and spend the money really quickly, ending up right back in a lack mentality.

Or the money you manifest will never be enough and you’ll continue to feel unworthy unless you have more. 

When the energy you manifest comes from the heart, there is a totally different result.

Money gets to flow into your life with ease and grace because there is no longer an attachment to it meaning you need it to feel safe or worthy enough.

2. Check in with your capacity to receive

Ask yourself on a scale of 1-10, how worthy do I feel of fully receiving money?

And it’s really important to be honest with yourself here. 

Many of us are creating from our egos without even realizing it which means on some level, we don’t actually feel worthy of receiving the money we desire. 

When we create from radical honesty, we create from our hearts instead of our egos. And then the energy we come from – remember why this is so important! ;) – is rooted in honesty, trust, and surrender. 

3. Have a morning ritual dedicated to processing your emotions.

This is my all-time favorite practice because when you carve out time for yourself each day, you give yourself permission to show up fully for yourself, process your emotions, and connect to your heart. 

From this place, you can get clear and intentional about your relationship with money and how much you want to manifest each month.

My favorite part of my morning ritual is journaling to process my emotions, to receive clarity on any blocks I’m currently experiencing. I always buy a cute journal because it gets me excited to process my thoughts each day and it’s become a practice I truly look forward to and can’t live without. I’m currently loving this journal and all the fun designs they have! 

And if you’re super curious to learn how I set up my morning so that my day aligns with my heart’s desires, I wrote an entire blog post on it that you can check out here.

4. Make Manifesting Money FUN!

When you receive money – whether it’s from your employer, a friend, a random check in the mail, it doesn’t matter – celebrate it!

Put on some music! Dance! Thank the Universe for bringing it into your life!

Have fun with it and tell the money how much you love it, how grateful and excited you are for it, and tell yourself how worthy and deserving you are of receiving it.

I also love creating a clear and concise power statement to help me manifest more money and saying it in the mirror with so much confidence and conviction that there’s no way the Universe can’t hear me! ;)

You want this statement to reflect your goal and be in the present/past tense as if it already happened.

You also want to visualize that amount of money coming to you and feel how excited you’ll be when you celebrate receiving it (because trust me love, if you do these practices, the money is on its way to you!)

An example would be: “I am so grateful and excited to manifest X amount of money each month with ease and grace.”

These practices are serious game changers when it comes to money manifestation. I’m always working on my money mindset with my own personal practices and reading books like this great read: You are a Badass at Making Money. 

If you want to take your money manifestation game to the next level I highly recommend this book. It’s an easy and hilarious read and will totally help you uplevel your money mindset.

5. Commit to creating from your heart as often as possible throughout the day.

This is so important when it comes to your ability to sustain the level of abundance you’re attracting in.

Your egoic mind is strong and likely has had years of programming telling you that you need money and other forms of external validation in order to feel good enough.

In order to sustain your abundant mindset, it’s so important to remember to pause as often as you can throughout the day to remind yourself that you in fact are so worthy of abundance and the life you desire.

You can ask yourself… “am I creating from my head/ego or my heart/intuition right now?” 

This question alone will help you become present and connect to your heart.

By checking in with your energy throughout the day – especially in moments of overwhelm – you’ll set yourself up to create from your heart vs your ego as much as possible.

I love talking about manifestation because I am deeply passionate about you remembering that you are worthy and deserving of the life you desire.

My hope is that these simple practices help you to manifest more money and abundance into your life by guiding you to let go of control, trust in the safety, security, and limitless power of your own heart, and surrender into how deeply supported we truly are. 

When you create and manifest from this place, this is where anything and everything becomes possible and miracles, opportunities, connections, – and of course abundance! – feel like they fall from the sky.
