In an article from Psychology Today, writer Hara Estroff Marano describes the brain’s negative bias. Negative experiences have a greater impact on our brains. In order to have a manifesting mindset, you need to work on releasing negativity. Here’s a four-step exercise to release negativity and place you in a positive frame of mind:
1. Create two columns on a sheet of paper. In the left column, write down the negative thoughts you have that prevent you from achieving your goals.
2. For each negative thought, think or say out aloud to yourself why that negative thought is NOT true.
3. In the right column, write down the positive versions for each negative thought. For example, if you wrote, “I don’t have enough money.” Rewrite that statement to “I am abundant” or “I have enough money.”
4. Say out loud each positive statement over and over and believing those words more and more.
And so it is.
Take care,

Manifesting Mindset: Set Your Intentions
In the last post, I discussed meditation as one of the key elements to having a manifesting mindset. The second step is to let the universe know what you want by setting your intentions. When you set your intentions, you are asking the universe to guide you toward your goals. Read these three steps to help you with intention setting:
- Be specific with your intentions. If you are looking for a life partner, describe the characteristics of that person, what that person likes to do for fun, what you and that person will enjoy doing together, etc. If you want a promotion, tell the universe what job title you want, how much money you want to make, or what projects you will be doing in your new position. Being clear and specific helps you focus on your goals.
- Put your intentions down on paper. Write you intentions in a journal, create a vision board, or write it out on pieces of paper. How ever you decide to write out your intentions, make sure that you don’t tuck it away only to have it found weeks, months or years later. Read and say the intentions daily. Have your intentions part of your daily meditation practice. You may want to post it on your refrigerator, your bathroom mirror, or in your car as frequent reminders.
- Share your intentions with others. Don’t keep it a secret. Put it out there for others to know. By telling others, you are involving them in your aspirations. You may encounter nay-sayers, devil’s advocates, and critics. Do not let that discourage you. Instead, let it fuel your passion to make things happen! You will also find supporters, cheerleaders, and accountability partners who will encourage you and help you meet your goals. Those are the ones to keep in your inner circle.
