Manifesting Abundance: My Journey to a Fuller Life

A few years ago, I took part in a three-week meditation course focused on gratitude. It was a deeply positive experience, helping me recognize the many things in my life I had to be thankful for. A year later, I enrolled in another three-week course, this time centered on abundance. Although I completed the course, I found it challenging and uncomfortable. At the time, I struggled to embrace the idea of abundance, and I didn’t feel like I gained much from it.

I have always had so much to be grateful for in my life, but there were things I wanted to improve. However, asking for more felt selfish or greedy. I believed that if you want something, you have to go out and make it happen—not wait for it to come to you.

But my perspective has shifted since then, and I’ve become much more open to the idea of manifesting abundance. I now recognize that the world is full of limitless possibilities, and I deserve an abundant life—and so does everyone else.

That said, I don’t believe that simply thinking about what we want will make it appear. If we want to change our lives, we need to change ourselves.

My Practice of Manifesting Abundance

Since adopting a more open mindset, my life has started to change for the better—externally in ways like this website, and internally through increased joy and less stress.

Here’s the practice I’ve been following:

• Clarifying What I Want

I started by asking myself, “What do I want more of in my life?” I then wrote my answers in my journal:

• Love and acceptance

• Community and belonging

• Nature and beauty

• Art and creativity

• Peace and harmony

• Purpose

• Financial freedom

• Travel

• Daily Reflection

Each day, I read over my list and journaled about one of the areas I wanted to attract more of. I explored how I would feel if I had it, and reminded myself that I am deserving of abundance simply because I exist. I also reflected on my gratitude for both the small, everyday things—like my daughter helping with dinner or new growth on a plant—and the bigger, more unique things—like my community coming together to support a neighbor in need or witnessing the beauty of a sunrise surrounded by birds.

• Seeking Inspiration

I listened to podcasts on abundance and spoke with friends and family about the changes I wanted to make in my life. The more I immersed myself in abundance-focused content, the more open I became to opportunities.

• Noticing Small Shifts

As I continued this practice, I noticed subtle yet significant changes in myself: more calm, focus, and energy. This newfound clarity motivated me to take more steps, such as spending more time outdoors, planning a home renovation, and reconnecting with friends. I also saw opportunities aligning with my goals: I came across a Mel Robbins workshop called Make It Happen (linked in the Free Resources section), I watched a YouTube video that inspired me to take action, and a friend recommended a book that profoundly impacted me. I even had a dream about creating this website.

• Daily Action

Today, I spend time daily meditating, journaling, visualizing, affirming my worth, and focusing on positivity. I’ve learned to open my heart and recognize the abundance around me. I celebrate the ways abundance appears in my life and in the lives of others. I stay patient, remain open to unexpected opportunities, and trust that the universe is working in my favor. Each day, I take inspired action that moves me closer to my goals.

Final Thoughts

Manifesting abundance has not only helped me attract external changes but also transformed my internal world. By being open, staying patient, and taking inspired action, I’ve started to see more opportunities and positive shifts in my life.
