How to Use Goals and Intentions Together to Manifest Faster
Today I want to chat about how using goals and intentions together can help us manifest faster.
But first, why on earth am I wearing two watches this week?
Well, one of these watches belongs to Nick, who just left for a 10 day, silent, no-tech-devices-allowed, meditation retreat.
With his watch on my arm, Nick’s meditating mind can rest easy knowing that his 800+ day move streak is safe.
It’s my very important job to not only close my own activity rings on my own Apple Watch every day, but to also make sure his rings close too so that the epic move streak is maintained.
Haha yes, I know… it sort of defeats the purpose of the move goal for me to do his exercise FOR him, right?!
All I can say to this is that he will be doing some exercise in between meditation sets… so the streak could still be considered legit in a way perhaps?
And yes, I do look kind of silly rocking two watches on the same wrist.
Thankfully, it’s very cold and wintry right now so I don’t have to show off my new fashion statement too much! 😂
But despite the trouble…
I love him. And I’m willing to do my part to keep his streak alive.
So why am I sharing about the new watch stack that I kind of secretly wish was a bracelet stack?
Because, in a similar way to how Nick’s mind will be at ease knowing that his move streak won’t end abruptly at 810 days, goals also have the power to put our minds at ease around intentions that feel too “big” or unbelievable to manifest.
In today’s video on YouTube, I’m sharing how setting goals can help create the alignment that leads to faster, easier manifestations.
For example, this approach led to manifesting the dream team that wants to help me manifest my dream job all within a few short weeks of setting a brand-new, very-alignment-inducing goal.
If you’ve ever been confused (as I was for a long time!) about the difference between goals and intentions and how to best use them together, then I hope you'll check out this video to discover my simple, but very effective, method.

Let’s chat about harnessing the power of goals and intentions to amplify your manifestation abilities.
The Essence of Manifestation
Manifesting, at its core, is about aligning your vibrations with what you desire, stepping into the role of the person who already possesses it. As Abraham teaches, it's about reaching a state where you not only expect your desires but view them as the next logical step in your journey.
Becoming a Vibrational Match
To simplify the concept of becoming a vibrational match, imagine moving from doubt and uncertainty to hopefulness and expectation. This powerful state of expectation is what transforms your desires into reality. Now, let's explore how goals and intentions can play a pivotal role in helping us become a vibrational match to what we want to manifest.
Defining Goals and Intentions
Before we delve into the synergy between goals and intentions, it's crucial to establish clear definitions. In my practice, I've crafted personalized distinctions: intentions are desires where full belief is yet to blossom, while goals are pursuits where confidence in accomplishment is high.
Example: Romance Manifestation
To illustrate these definitions, let's consider the example of manifesting a romantic relationship. Your intention might be to attract your ideal romantic partner, but there might be a lingering doubt in your ability to create this. On the other hand, a goal could be going on 15 dates in the next few months, a tangible and achievable plan that instills confidence.
The Harmony of Goals and Intentions
Now, here's the magic: goals and intentions complement each other. By setting a goal aligned with your intention, you create a bridge from doubt to belief. Your goal becomes a practical avenue, a roadmap that boosts your confidence and aligns you with the vibrational frequency required for manifestation.
While the interplay between goals and intentions might seem elementary, the beauty lies in its effectiveness. Setting achievable goals propels you toward full belief in your intentions, paving the way for manifestation.
Unveiling the Purpose of Goals in Manifestation
Now that we understand the dynamics of setting goals and intentions, it's crucial to grasp the underlying strategy. The key insight here is to recognize that the specific goal you set is not necessarily intended to be the direct avenue through which your intention manifests.
Let's revisit the romantic relationship example. Going on 15 dates isn't about finding your next romantic partner among those individuals. Instead, it's about elevating your energetic belief in the possibility of your intention coming to fruition.
The primary purpose of pursuing a goal is to boost your confidence and belief in the manifestation of your intention. Taking action on a tangible goal provides your mind with a feasible pathway for your intention to manifest. It's a process of aligning your energy and expectations with the desired outcome. Remember, the goal is not the destination; it's a means to increase your vibrational match to the intention.
Real-Life Example - Manifesting my Dream Job in Architecture
Let me share a personal experience to illustrate how this strategy has been working in my own life. One of my current intentions is to manifest my dream job in architecture. Having been away from the field for almost three years, it was challenging to fully believe in my ability to make this dream job a reality. In November, I set a goal for myself – to learn a specific software program commonly used in architecture firms.
Devoting my spare time to mastering this software became a significant part of my journey. It wasn't just a goal; it was a strategic move to increase my confidence and alignment with my intention. Surprisingly, within a few weeks of starting this project, I received an email from an architecture recruiter who had stumbled upon my resume. This unexpected connection not only provided an opportunity to discuss potential job opportunities but also validated the importance of my chosen goal – learning the software program.
The synergy between the goal and intention became evident as the recruiter affirmed that I was on the right track. This experience highlights how the pursuit of a specific goal can create alignment and open up unexpected paths for your intention to manifest. It's a reminder not to fixate on the goal as the sole method of manifestation but to appreciate it as a catalyst for increased belief and alignment with your overarching intention.
Conclusion
As we navigate the intricate dance between goals and intentions, it's essential to remain open-minded. The universe might unfold your desires in ways you couldn't foresee. Share your own experiences or questions in the comments below, and let's continue this conversation. Until next time, happy manifesting!
