Follow These Simple Steps to Manifest Your Dreams with Ease in 2025
The Holidays are over, it is the middle of winter and you feel the pressure of a new year beginning. This time of year can feel daunting and even a bit depressing. What happens with a lot of people is they start the new year off with ambitious goals to finally make the changes they want to see in their life, but this can come with a lot of pressure and create even more stress.
We tend to be hard on ourselves this time of year, we put pressure on ourselves to hit our goals and stick to our resolutions. There is an element to this that is great to get some motivation, but the flip side is it can create feelings of overwhelm and the good habits tend to slip, by the time we reach February.
Want this to feel different this year? Ready for some ease in 2025?
These 3 simple strategies will help you create with ease, reduce stress and allow you to make lifestyle changes and resolutions that will last the whole year.
1. Have Micro Goals.
Big changes don’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. The best way to reset for the new year is to start small, with micro-goals that build momentum over time*.* ✨
Think of micro-goals as tiny, achievable wins that help you feel accomplished without the overwhelm. These small steps create the energy you need to tackle your bigger goals throughout the year. 💪
Here are some ideas for micro-goals this January:
🌱 Drink an extra glass of water each day.
🌱 Declutter one drawer or corner of your home.
🌱 Spend 5 minutes journaling your thoughts or intentions.
🌱 Take a 10-minute walk daily, even if it’s just around the block.
🌱 Stretch for 5 minutes every morning or evening.
🌱 Send a kind message to a friend or family member.
🌱 Replace 5 minutes of scrolling with reading a book or listening to a podcast.
🌱 Make your bed every morning (a small win to start the day).
🌱 Write down one thing you’re grateful for at the end of each day.
🌱 Try a new healthy recipe this week.
Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. Celebrate your wins, and watch how these tiny shifts build into something amazing. 🌟
2. Spend 5 Minutes a Day Feeling Your Intended Results.
This is a simple exercise that is the magic ingredient in manifesting or magnetizing your goals. Most of us get really disappointed when we work so hard but still feel like we are never catching up to what we really want to create. We think about what our goal is and then we go into an action plan. Over time this begins to feel hard so we can feel disappointed and give up.
To create more ease, spend five minutes a day feeling the goal or vision as if it has already happened. This brings the emotional element into goal creating or manifestation which acts like a fertilizer to our dreams because the subconscious mind responds to emotions. If we are constantly “trying” or “working hard” from the emotion of frustration, or lack then the subconscious mind responds to this. When we feel the goal in our body as if it has happened and sit in this feeling for few minutes a day we are now feeling joy, abundance peace and our subconscious mind can now respond to these emotions instead which is like rocket fuel for our dreams.
5 minute a day exercise:
- Go to a quiet space where you will not be disturbed
- Play some relaxing music
- Sit or lie down in a comfortable position
- Imagine your self at the end, meaning you have achieved your goal or vision. How does this feel in your body? What do you see? Who are you with? What are you doing? How does it smell? – crystalize the vision as clearly as possible.
- Turn the volume up on those emotions you are feeling as if the goal has happened.
- Remember this is the magic ingredient (the feelings) or the emotional side of manifesting.
3. Gratitude for what ‘Is’.
Having goals is great, we are always creating so it is powerful to give our creations a direction so we become conscious about it. However, we also need to be in the moment, to recognize the beauty in the ‘now’, the magic that is all around us. The best way to do this is to spend time in gratitude. To think and feel all the things we are already grateful.
You can do this by having a gratitude journal, or simply closing your eyes and thinking of 3 things a day you are grateful for.
This gratitude practice will:
- Reduce stress
- Allow you to feel the magic that is all around
- Raise your vibration and energy
The best part is with gratitude you raise your energy which allow for your creations to come with more ease, you magnetize rather than chase. It also reminds us to enjoy the journey.
Here is to a magical 2025!
