In this episode of the Becoming You podcast, I talk about the power of deciding and how it plays a pivotal role in manifesting your deepest desires.

Notice how you’re thinking and feeling right now

In times of doubt or strife, take a pause and ask yourself how you’re feeling in this moment.

Are you thinking thoughts and feelings that put you in a safe, feel-good trajectory to attract the good stuff, or are you thinking thoughts and feeling feelings that don’t serve you and get you to the point you desire to reach?

We all find ourselves stuck in a cycle of negativity once in a while.

Now, let me caveat this point by mentioning that you should never blanket your true feelings. This is not about “pasting over” how you really feel with positivity. Rather, the key is to be intentional about the fact that, while you may be feeling bad, you can choose to think a different thought.

The power of deciding versus wishing or hoping

It’s hard to notice this if you’ve never been intentional about it; but, most of us live in the wishing and hoping space without ever resolving to see our goals to the end.

Deciding carries with it a totally different energy from wishing or hoping.

Next time you want something in your life, no matter how small, become aware of whether you find yourself wishing it would manifest, or deciding that this desire is already true for you, even if it is not physically there yet.

The difference is, when you decide, you are in control. You have the power to affect things. No matter what, it’s going to happen. You may not know how it’s going to happen, but you have decided that it’s going to happen.

Why we have trouble deciding

Decide that you are worthy and deserving of getting the things that you receive.

Many of us have issues with deciding because there is a lack of self-trust, worthiness, and deservingness.

Self-trust means that, even if you don’t know how your desire will manifest, you will figure it out. You are in control. You are capable of taking the correct actions. You are willing to do what it takes to have things work out your way.

Understand that doubts will always be there, and that you will need to decide more than once. As doubt after doubt creeps up, be ready to decide that you will find a way.

And you will.

Get clarity on what you want

In order to decide, you need to know what you want in the first place.

Gaining clarity is not just a creative act, where you sit down, do some thinking, and write your ideas down to form a better picture of what it is that you desire.

Gaining clarity is also a destructive process. By that I mean, we can only get clear on our desires when something doesn’t. In other words, gaining clarity is a process of elimination.

Sometimes, we think we know what we want, but when we get that thing, we realize we were wrong.

That’s okay. We often don’t get what we want until we’re faced with the thing we don’t want.

That means, when things go wrong in your life, you can glean from those experiences seeds of opportunity to discover what’s truly in your heart.

Decide that you are worthy and deserving

The power of deciding is giving yourself grace when something goes wrong—to avoid berating yourself even if you could have done something to avoid a failure or mistake.

No amount of falling short of expectations can keep you from getting the thing you desire.

No matter what, you’re worthy.

No matter what, you’re deserving.

No matter what, you’re enough.

Imagine you already have that which you desire

Never underestimate the power of visualization.

Imagine yourself having whatever it is you desire.

When those thoughts and feelings of ownership are strong, you nudge yourself closer and closer to actually having what you want in reality.

This is manifestation in motion.
