It was a crisp fall day when I stumbled into my favorite bookstore in Kansas City, pumpkin spice latte in hand. This bookstore was particularly whimsical with spiraling bookcases, vines covering the ancient brick walls, and ladders you could use to slide across the shelves that I thought only existed in movies. Walking into the store with no book in mind, I was open to the universe showing me what I needed to read. It was then that I practically stepped on a book that had fallen from the shelves reading, How to Manifest the Life You Want and Deserve. Ok that was not the exact title, but it was something along those lines. As any partially insecure, unhappy freshman in high school would be, I was excited at the prospect of living a better life than the one that I was currently living and thus began my journey of manifestation. That book started a spiritual awakening in my life where I was hyper aware that I could mold my reality by just changing how I thought about it. I soon learned of the Law of Attraction within the 12 laws of the universe, and I was forever changed. Through 4 years of practice, I believe I have the art of manifestation down to science, a method that I call the law of 10. Do you feel like the writers that are writing the TV show of your life need to be fired? Become your own writer and learn to write the script of your life with this 3-step method.
The 1st step of the method of 10 is to write 10 manifestation sentences. But an extra step I would like to add is 10 things you are grateful for. I find it helps to thank the universe for everything that you have been given already or everything you have before asking for more. Next, write out 10 things you want to happen within a certain period or just things you want to happen throughout your life. Make these sentences specific and put in as much detail as you like. Tell the universe what you want right up front and pay no attention to how outlandish or unrealistic your requests may be. The whole premise of manifestation is that you are in control of your future, and you attract what you ask for. Remember that you are in charge of your reality, you just have to become aware of it. Whatever you give your energy to and focus on will come back to you. Want to be cuffed up by Christmas time? You might write “I want a loving relationship/companionship.” Want to feel more comfortable in your body? Write “I want a healthy body, mind, and spirit.” You can manifest anywhere from a job interview, flawless skin, or even a ring by spring! The sky is literally the limit.
The 2nd step is to affirm these manifestations like you already have what you wish for. So, in the example, “I want to be cuffed up before Christmas time” you might write, “I HAVE a loving significant other who loves me for who I am” or “I am grateful to spend my time with a kind and caring partner.” The key here is to use words like “have” to trick your brain into believing that you already have attained these things, you are sculpting your reality. Under each manifestation sentence, write 10 affirmations for 100 sentences outlining the life you want. I would suggest writing these in a journal and reading them to yourself every morning in the mirror. If you tell yourself something enough, it starts to become true! You will start to see the world around you mold to the affirmations you say every morning in the mirror, bringing you closer to your manifestations.
The 3rd step is to really visualize that these affirmations are going to be true in your life. For this I utilize the help of Pinterest to find 10 pictures to put with each manifestation sentence. Now I know that 100 pictures sound like a lot but get a snack, put on some tunes, and go manifest that dream life girl! Now these manifestations really jump off the page to you and you can start visualizing what it’s gonna look like in your life. Create a beautiful collage of your dream life and save it somewhere you can see it every day like a wallpaper on your phone or computer or even hang it up in your room. Soon, you will start to see that the pictures on your wall look eerily similar to your everyday life.
I hope you will use the Rule of 10 to break into the writer’s room of the sitcom of your life and make sure your character gets all they desire. If manifestation sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to do your own research on the 12 laws of the Universe and how you can utilize them in your everyday life. I feel that often many people go through life thinking that life is something that just happens to them and that they have to accept it as they have been given. But you are the creator of your own reality, you can and should happen to life! Does this mean you are going to get everything given to you on a silver platter…of course not! But it does mean that through raising your vibrations and having a positive mindset you can get closer to living the life you deserve to live. Remember you are the artist of the masterpiece of your life.
