LET ME TRY AND BREAK THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING MADNESS WITH A LITTLE NOTE ON MANIFESTING.
I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude, goals, and manifesting lately. I always feel reflective this time of year but something feels a little different this time. One of the things I’ve realized is how often I forget to celebrate my big and small wins throughout the year.
You too?
As I’m writing this email I’ve just returned from Jamaica where my team and I got to shoot content for a major travel booking platform. The content will be owned exclusively by them and it’s one of the highest-paying content creation jobs I’ve landed this year. I was able to bring my bestie/manager & hire an incredibly talented photographer/videographer with that generous budget and it truly still feels a little surreal that I’m landing these jobs.
After the struggles of watching all my work dry up in the blink of an eye in 2020, filing unemployment and a cruise ship size of self-doubt, I truly didn’t know when and if this current reality would ever materialize.
But one of the things I did CONSISTENTLY (I clearly had lots of time) throughout 2020 was gratitude journal, meditate and manifest. And one of my biggest goals for myself was to work with people I love and admire and partner with travel brands looking to tell creative stories.
And BOOM here we are.
I share this not to brag but to show that if it’s possible for me, it can be possible for you too.
Enter gratitude and manifestation.
If you’re totally new to manifesting and want some simple methods for getting started listen to this
When you’re ready to take your manifesting to the next level - read/listen to this book
And if you’re into making vision boards for manifesting (trust me it works) - here’s my step-by-step process
And because NYE is right around the corner (I can’t believe I just wrote that) one of the BIGGEST ways I manifest and goal set for the new year is by going off the grid, removing distractions and getting inspired. To learn more about my process & where I go to be fully(ish) off the grid click here
I think that it’s so easy to get caught up in the holiday shuffle that we forget to take time to intention set for the new year and really take some time this next month to dream big and think of what you’d like your 2023 to look like.
I hope this is helpful and I hope with every part of me that you get all that you dream of and more. You deserve it.
