People say that, in order to engage in the act of manifestation, you must act as if you have already stepped into the timeline in which you already have the thing that you want. According to the properties of magnetism, this would energetically attract ones wishes and desires into their life. I want to manifest my passions into a career in whatever form that may take, though I am personally opting for being a well known singer. Kind of like someone like Lana Del Rey, who shifts the world with a gentle but steady power written within the notes and lyrics of her music. With this being said, today I have made the internal decision to move through my day with the created awareness that I am already a well known singer of a high caliber. Someone who creates not only out of passion but out of knowing, power and recognized ability.
On a normal day, I often find myself dreading the start. Lists of to-dos flounder in my mind no matter what it is. Sometimes brushing my teeth and washing my hair sounds like a chore, even on my better days. Today was not ordinary though, as I am in the public eye, I garner more attention in my appearance and hygiene so I gave it more of my time and respect. Even in my wardrobe, though I am dressed rather comfortably, I dressed in something more intentional- more confident than my usual oversized t-shirt and pajama shorts. My closet, while I already appreciate it greatly, was even more loved than usual as I tried on different outfits, thinking of all the events and appearances I could wear them to. A cute outfit will never go wasted! I found a temporary tattoo I had gotten for a dollar in Wisconsin. I put it on my waist as a light hearted statement. Funny enough, the 'appearance' of a unicorn is a personal sign that something good is coming for me. It made me feel more aligned.
Music was more important for me too. I was rather intentional, listening to albums from my record collection as I got ready rather than hitting shuffle on my iPhone playlists. While I listened to both today, I recognized that listening on the record player gave me a feeling I didn't get from listening to my phone in the car. Perhaps it was the pleasant feeling of the general retro aesthetics it gave me, or perhaps something more.
Attending my band's rehearsals in the evening with this mindset was honestly a game changer for me. I felt more courageous, I spoke up more, I sang louder, I was more present. And extremely passionate in the work I was doing that day. We ended up being more productive than usual too. We absolutely flowed with song ideas, practicing songs we've written and bouncing around ideas for how to keep our momentum going and to try to get more in the public eye! Somehow, I managed to message and obtain a new manager tonight too. The link below holds a small snippet of our original song we practiced today called
Drivin All Alone if you are interested in listening! It's definitely not completely polished, but I really like where it is going so far.

It's safe to say that manifestation works in the most peculiar ways. Performing as if I was already who I dreamed to someday be sparked a different kind of hope in me. One that showed me it was feasible, and right in front of me if I'm brave enough to reach for it. A renewed hope that also showed me I have things ahead of me to be excited for whether I truly see them or not, and a hope that lessened the weight of the depressive paralysis that I so often long for. I think this is something I could do everyday.
Making your daily routine feel more like a journey rather than a habit or chore is beautiful. I often also dread the start of my day because of all the things I know I have to get done. For the past year, I have tried to develop the mentality that "I don't have to do it, I GET to do it." It's cool to see how such small changes can completely change your mindset and the flow of your day.
ReplyDeleteHi Marianna! I really like how, for this walk, you really wanted to be more positive in yourself and in what you do, especially with the recorder making it so you were more passionate. I find that really inspiring. I also really love the unicorn and how you mention that it was like a little symbol that you were going to do great and accomplish your goals for that day, I think that is really awesome.
ReplyDeleteI really like your thoughts on manifestation and how you really jumped into those beliefs for this. I do not know much about this topic, but I have heard some things here and there about how it works with people getting what they want through continuing a practice and keeping a good headspace for what they want. Did it ever feel too challenging to continue this? Did your thoughts or energy levels get affected throughout this process? These are a few things that came to mind, but again, I really liked this route you took for this!
ReplyDeleteHi! I find it interesting that everything that you included was already within your environment. It's derived from yourself and is very symbolic of uncovering your true potential. While reading your post, it kind of felt like one of those Disney movies where the protagonist has a makeover and they step into a new way of processing the world. Would you say this is a mindset you would adopt into your everyday life? For example, would you ever incorporate the temporary tattoos and more analog music experiences into your daily life? I enjoyed reading your post. Love this!
