Manifestation Journal

One of my 2019 goals was to start and maintain a manifestation journal. It may seem ironic that I chose to put my theme for the year on the front cover, but there's an important distinction between "needs" and "wants." To me, "you have everything you need" means I don't need any material things to make me whole. I don't need to spend more money to feel fulfilled. I don't need to amass symbols of success to be happy. I don't need to chase happiness. To me, "you have everything you need" also means I have all the tools in my arsenal to heal myself mentally and physically. I can trust my gut. I can go with my instinct. I can believe in myself.

My manifestation journal details what I want out of life. I've never been shy about saying I want this, that, or the other in terms of material possessions--this necklace, that handbag, this blush, that sweater. However, I never really let my true wants and dreams see the light of day. I thought vocalizing them and not being able to achieve them would mean failure. I didn't believe in myself, and I thought I needed what I wanted in order to be whole. Now that I realize I have everything I need, I can confidently pursue my true wants as they truly are. Wants, not needs. Nice to haves, not deal breakers. With this in mind, I wrote my first entry in my manifestation journal today. While I'm not quite ready to share the contents, perhaps one day, I will be.
