I’m a BIG believer in manifestation. A BIG believer in writing. A BIG believer in writing my manifestations + forgetting about writing them.
.
The combination of using your hand to write something on paper (preferably a notebook which holds your collections of daily entries, gratitudes, etc — not work, life notebook) + releasing that planted seed to do the work, has proven time + time again, that the power of writing, planting + releasing control of the growing process blooms into magical results.
.
My manifest book is THICK. Most of the many things I’ve planted have bloomed. In their own time. At their own speed. Not when I’m seemingly ready..when they’re ready. That’s the ‘releasing the control’ part.
.
For example, this man @elguapoworld shot my dad a little over a year ago. I loved his work + wrote his name in my manifest notebook under the column ‘people I’d like to meet’. At an event in April, by chance, we were introduced to one another. I told him that I loved his work. Afterwards, we met for a walk. I w/intention asked about his work process, curious to hear what it is he knows that I don’t know. He described, in detail, + after we parted I wrote his name in my manifest book under the column ‘people I’d like to work with’.

Two weeks ago, while sitting with the @larionovpro team brainstorming on our marketing strategies, we decided on creating a story on each of our trainers, as their personalities is what drives the success of the business. We are not just a gym - we build relationships. I said, “Portraits!”. @zarinamamieva said, “who?!” I remembered Gio’s name in my manifest book. We met. Chatted. Designed a concept. Set a day + shot our material. The end.
.
Here’s the key: I didn’t let doubt seep in ONCE. Not that we wouldn’t meet. Not that we wouldn’t work together. Not that it would be the end of the world if it didn’t happen on THIS particular project. I simply believed. When it’s time, it will be time.
.
There are multiple examples of this in my life. The true reasoning behind it, I’m not sure. But I believe that when we set good, kind-hearted, positive intentions, + relinquish our desire for control, MAGIC happens.
