The Power of Manifestation

What happens when you're set a seemingly impossible target?

Years ago when I worked in Ad sales, I was set a ridiculous target.

After my initial rant I thought about it...

And this is how I did it ⬇️

Every morning on the train to work I’d write the target number down in a notepad.

Writing things down crystallizes them in our mind.

I’d then meditate on the number for 5-10 minutes…thinking about how I’d get there.

I’d do this each morning - same train, same time - and think about a range of different things associated with that number, including:

✅ Why I wanted to hit it ~ all the reasons driving me

✅ Visualising the conversations I needed to have to get there

✅ Thinking about the person I needed to consistently become each day through my behaviour & habits

✅ Breaking it down into manageable chunks so I’d always have my weekly number in mind

✅ Not just knowing it intellectually - but feeling what hitting it would mean to me emotionally

✅ Visualizing having already achieved it & experiencing the associated feelings of gratitude

✅ Moving around like I was already there in order to feel it physiologically

This would power me through the day and seemed to influence everything I did - from staying later - to picking up the phone more than I normally would.

I found that:

- I had more energy when speaking to prospects

- I asked better questions

- I felt more self-assured & confident

- I was more relaxed

It almost felt like something was pushing me forward.

I used to be as cynical as the next person when it came to ‘manifestation’ and ‘laws of the universe’...but I’d met someone who was spiritual and so I was persuaded to give it a go.

They told me the key to all of this is simply to have faith.

As soon as you think it’s ridiculous or hippy-dippy, it simply will not work.

The result?

I overshot my target by just over £1K.

It was uncanny.

And quite frankly I was blown away.

It also proved to me how cynicism & limited beliefs can hamper us, sometimes not even on a conscious level.
