How to Manifest Your Dream Self

So many people believe that it is not possible to change the personality, let alone replace deep-rooted beliefs. They believe that we are born with a set of character traits that determine who we are and how we act in this life. While it may be true that from an early age certain traits become more prominent than others, this does not mean that they are permanently fixed this way for life. It is possible to reprogram the mind, and to completely change as a person.

The Law of Attraction can be used to manifest anything you desire. Whether you would like a new body, a different lifestyle, to accomplish a string of lofty goals or to transform your personality entirely, you can manifest a new reality. Dr Joe Vitale, a metaphysician featured in the best-selling Law of Attraction book, The Secret, states that “You can have, do or be anything you want.” This includes manifesting a new mindset, or a set of attractive and desirable personality traits. With the Law of Attraction it is possible to change yourself and your life forever.

Planting the Seed

Dreams and manifestations grow from the seeds of our thoughts, and the more these thoughts are watered the faster they will manifest. You probably already have a vague idea of your dream self, and this vision or intuition is the seed of your manifestation. Now to grow that seed, it needs to be planted and then watered with the focused thought that is used in manifestation techniques. So before we jump in to the watering stage, I am going to tell you about a technique I use to “plant the seed”.

Planting the seed is the most time consuming part of the manifestation process, after which you can just water your dream with manifestation techniques every other day. To plant the seed, we need to get crystal clear about what it is we are asking the Universe for. So to begin sewing the seed you will need to set aside a good amount of time to imagine in detail what you would like to attract into your life. One of my favorite ways to do this, particularly when manifesting my dream self (which is constantly evolving) is to write a story about my future life.

Write the story in the third person, with your dream self as the main character. Think about what your character values and believes in. Now imagine how your dream self would handle difficult situations and relate to other people, in light of these values and beliefs. Let your mind wander into the deepest part of your imagination, and think about the type of lifestyle that your dream self would lead. Perhaps your future self spend his or her free time practicing yoga, taking long walks in nature and meditating. See your dream self achieving all of your goals, and living happily surrounded by love and laughter.

Now that you have written down the story of your future self, keep it in a special place. From time to time as you are inspired, you can take out the story and re-write certain parts of it. This technique keeps the mind focused on your manifestation and truly brings to life the well-known inspirational quote: “You are the author of your life. You can start a new chapter at any time you choose. You create the story, and you can also re-write it.” So before you pick up your pen and begin to write the next chapter of your life, let’s take an in-depth look at some of the points to include.

Your Dream Look

Perhaps the easiest place to start when writing a story about a character is to describe their physical appearance. Your dream self is completely unique and may or may not be interested in a glamorous new wardrobe. Whether you envision yourself dressing up or down, be sure to begin with a short and detailed description of this. Perhaps your dream self has extremely long hair, and a fitter body. Visualize for a moment what you would like to physically manifest, and write it all down.

Your Dream Lifestyle

Next, allow your mind’s eye to roam beyond any perceived limitations and contemplate the type of lifestyle your dream self will live. Think about how you will live your day-to-day life. Perhaps you envision living on a tropical island and painting on the beach all day for a living, or maybe your dream self is so wealthy that he or she doesn’t need to work at all and spends their time volunteering for charity organizations. Write about a day in the life of your dream self, from morning until night. How does your dream self begin the day? What does your dream self eat or drink? Does your future self have all necessities delivered or go to the store themselves? These are all questions that can enhance your manifestation and successfully sew the seed of your dreams.

Your Dream Personality

Now that we have covered the easy parts, let us begin to contemplate the dream personality of your future self. The best way to do this is through a meditation whereby you connect to your Higher Self. You can ask your higher self what aspects of your character you need to work on, or manifest. Another way to determine what you would like to include in the personality of your dream self, is to take note of traits you admire in other people. You might come across these people in reality or find inspiration in films and books, but once you have decided what you would like to manifest you can add it to your story. Write about situations in which these character traits are displayed and admired by other people. It could be a positive attitude, a kind disposition or a great sense of humor. Include any and all of these traits in the story and you will attract them to you in reality.

Your Dream Accomplishments

Now that you have a detailed vision of your dream self, you can move on to writing about specific situations or accomplishments that you would like to manifest. Perhaps you would like to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, walk on the moon or star in a blockbuster movie. The sky is the limit and you can include all of these beautiful visions in your story. Write about each experience from start to finish and you will align your frequency with the vibration of that experience, attracting it into your life. In doing so you have successfully planted a powerful seed of manifestation, and you need only to water it using other Law of Attraction techniques for it to materialize. As you go about your life, you will be drawn to make choices that align with your dream self and in time you will become the most magnificent version of yourself.
