Yesterday in commenting on the always interesting Joy Junket blog (visit at http://www.joyjunket.com/everything-is-possible-2/) I discovered a new idea that many folks probably already know about, but for me it finally makes sense: to manifest something in your life, first you have to know what it is (desire), then honestly intend to have it (intention) and then behave as though you have it (manifestation). The steps are as easy as shifting language use, but the work is still the work.

Here’s what I mean:

Desire: I WANT to be the woman who does yoga and radiates health.

Intention: I WILL BECOME the woman who does yoga and radiates health.

Manifestation: I AM the woman who does yoga and radiates health.

These steps move you from wanting to becoming to being. Arriving at “I AM” seems tricky, though. There is always fluctuation between becoming and being; we never really “arrive” anywhere because we are always moving and changing.

Still, instead of just waiting for the final step to occur, it helps me to say that I AM that woman even before I really think I am or if I used to be that woman and now I’m not.

I think that this process is something that children often do easily without too much deliberation. Somehow, sadly, we lose the magic of manifestation somewhere along the way and many of us spend years looking for it again. But the concept is easy, even if the work associated with the steps isn’t. Desire, intend, manifest.

Let’s see what happens.
