Identity Shifting
Sometimes, our biggest block to manifestation is that we still see ourselves as not yet having what we want.
That’s a problem because, in essence, manifesting is simple.
It’s basically about deciding that what we want is already done. And then, practicing that feeling of “doneness” so well that it gets reflected back to us by circumstances and events rearranging themselves according to what we decided.
Or, to put it even more simply...
The ancients summed this up (using way fewer words than I just did) with the saying:
“As within, so without.”
And so, one of the most powerful manifesting moves we can make is to shift our identity - to step into the version of ourselves who already has what we want.
How would you feel, think and act differently if you’d already manifested your dream?
Around this time last year, I took a class with my manifesting coach, Jeannette Maw, called “How to (Really) Be Rich.”
One of my favorite exercises from the class, and the one that stuck with me the most, was one where Jeannette asked us to feel into what the “rich version” of ourselves is like. The goal was to discover what’s different about how this version of ourselves thinks, feels and behaves when compared to our normal habits.
One of the most compelling things I noticed about “Rich Adrianne” was that she was never in a rush. Never tense or under pressure. Instead, this more abundant version of myself always operated at a relaxed, healthy pace with plenty of time to savor, enjoy and do what felt best.
This awareness has been a really helpful point of focus.
At any moment, I can tune into the more relaxed way that “Rich Me” approaches life and shift into more of this identity.
It’s helped me give myself permission to embrace a higher level of ease, flow and following inspiration. And, this change has helped attract circumstances into my life to support a more abundant way of being.
Declaring It Done
While at first it may seem too bold to declare to ourselves that what we want is done before anything on the outside seems to agree...
This decision to shift our identity from one who’s still reaching for what they want to one who already has it can be all that’s required for our dreams to begin swiftly transforming themselves into reality.
Love and Magic,
