Manifesting My New Year's Resolutions
Let’s talk about the idea of manifesting. This is something I’ve been learning a lot about, and the more I learn and put it into practice, the more I believe in it! Manifesting is the idea that when you focus on what you want and how you want to feel, you can make it a reality. It means pinpointing a specific goal or desire then reframing your thoughts around how you’ll feel, how you’ll act, and how you’ll think once you reach that goal.
Manifesting involves a lot of writing and speaking your desires into existence. There’s actually a trend on TikTok called the 369 Manifestation Technique. You start by picking three affirmations. These can be things like, “Money comes to me easily” or “I love my job and feel passionate about my work every day.” Then you say them six times a day. Finally, you focus on your affirmations for nine seconds at the end of every day. The challenge is to do this every day for twenty-one days. What do you . . . should we do it for 365 days?
To help manifest my ideal life into reality, I chose a word a very special word for 2021: INTENTION.
For my business, I want to make intentional, thoughtful choices. I want to be brave and manifest my own version of success. I believe that if I’m intentional with my thoughts and actions, I can make big things happen this year! Here are a few of my business goals for 2021:
Increase revenue - I have an exact number for this, and you should, too! It’s so important to put a real number to your goals!
Launch HERA. Start with 10 employees, increase 5 employees a month. Be active in 3 new states by the end of 2021.
Create my own product line
Increase product sales
Grow my Instagram following and engagement
Hire an assistant 2-3 days a week
Get active on TikTok!
Continue to hone in on my ideal clientele for HERA and JMHC
Schedule content photoshoots
Become a public figure in the hair industry
Be a mentor for Harper Ellis Hair Co.
Get more involved in my community
Network and create relationships with other stylists or like-minded people/businesses
Continue education with a new class/course every 2-3 months
Gratitude journal every night before bed
I also have some equally important personal goals that I will manifest into reality this year. I plan to be intentional about letting go of things (or people!) that no longer serve my ideal life. I also want to intentionally set boundaries and thoughtfully search for my perfect life partner. Here’s what I’ll be doing to make it happen:
Stay consistent with fitness - work out 3-5x a week
Get a puppy! 🐶
Continue to make Keto a lifestyle
Stay connected to God - pray out loud and listen to sermons at least once a month
Keep Wednesday evenings available for dating
Manifest traveling with my future husband
Get a reading from DeLuna Girls and dive deep into understanding myself better
Write daily affirmations every morning
Learn how to grill
Try new recipes at least once a month
Try an activity that’s out of my comfort zone!
Meditate 2-3x a week
As you can see, it’s going to be a very busy year, but I’m beyond excited for what’s to come! I hope you’ll take a little manifesting journey with me this and really set your intentions for what you want for your life. If I learned anything from 2020, it was that life is far too short to put off your dreams. Let’s do this, 2021!
