I believe everyone manifests subconsciously whether they know it or not. I know for me it started when I was younger I wasn't manifesting as such but I believe everyone manifests subconsciously whether they know it or not. I know for me it started when I was younger I wasn't manifesting as such but visualizing certain things. I really want to educate myself in the arts of manifesting because I believe it is such a powerful tool. I picked up a book a couple of months ago on manifesting and I didn't like it because I felt I was reading what I already knew. So when I went to pick this up I held it to the same expectation. However what I didn't know is that this is the 'dive deeper' companion to the first book. I am glad I picked this up first because I think it is for people who have a basic understanding of manifesting and want to 'dive deeper'. Why I loved this is because it didn't go on about visualizing your dream car or job it talks about manifesting transforming your life. Thinks like how you communicate too working on your mental health. It taught me that manifesting isn't something that is passive. I will be picking this up because it has exercises and journal prompts that you can come back too. Reading this book has made me realise how much my religion and spirituality inform my manifesting process. I also loved reading Roxie's own journey and her route to manifesting. It is life-changing (yes I am using that word) empowering and such a motivating read. Highly recommend to everyone. ...more
How am I writing this my first year complete? So I have been updating my journaling on here but I can’t believe I am doing my first-year wrap-up. I have always wanted to keep a journal, I have always kept a diary from when I was younger on and off but have always kept it up, just day what took place, etc. With a journal, I feel it is deeper because it asks you questions in a way you have to reflect, think and actually take time to answer. I don’t know how I came across this but I thought it was perfect because whenever I started a journal myself I couldn’t keep up with it and I got too overwhelmed going down the journal aesthetic YouTube videos, and Pinterest pictures, and then what journal to pick and all the accessories to pick from on Etsy. I brought this from Amazon and thought it was amazing, a journal that I could keep and use for 5 years, but most of all just a prompt a day which I could easily commit to. And here I am a year later. Would I recommend it, absolutely because for beginners like me this is so simple to commit to and a really easy and encouraging way to get into journaling? The prompts all of them I personally wouldn’t have put in had I written them myself but I can do that when I journal myself. My first year reflection, I think it is hard to say because it is my first time doing it, was I successful in keeping up with it and writing in it, yes. I think I am most excited about journaling this year and comparing how my answers change or stay the same because that is what it is about. I want to see how my answers evolve, but also I feel this is also a part of my diary because it is a journey of how far I have come. One of the first questions of this journal is what is your mission, which I kind of treated like a yearly resolution of what I want to achieve and I feel like if I put a percentage on it I have achieved a modest 65% of it which I am really proud of. But already looking back it makes me nostalgic to think of what my goals were and what I have and haven’t achieved. It also is a reminder of where I once was and where I am now. I am just a sucker for nostalgia and romanticise everything let me have these moments. There is a quote on the front book from Andy Warhol (high school art students remember him) that says ‘they always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.’ I feel very apt, so I am excited, nervous, anxious, and ready for the new year and all the adventures-high, and low, it brings, I am ready to start another year in my journal, another year to grow, to make mistakes, to learn, to meet new people, finish year (by passing insha’Allah) starting a career. Reading so many books, binging and streaming series, listening to podcasts and audiobooks and so, so many more things. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking to start out in journaling or even those who journal already because the prompts are really good....more
