al·che·my /alkəmē/ a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.
a·bun·dance /əˈbəndəns/ abundance of money, property, and other material goods; riches; wealth.
We all want a magical process to make our lives better. The only reason people usually desire to manifest prosperity is because it will give them a little something somethin’ called FREEDOM.
The trick though is so super simple and closes the gap of separatism that always keeps you in a state similar to the donkey chasing the carrot. What you need to do is FEEL GOOD NOW – right now – where you’re currently at in your life. No matter how messy and gloriously complicated it might appear – you have the power to take hold of the moment and manifest prosperity now. It isn’t rocket science, or head-based “mumbo jumbo” it’s a simple choice. And that choice is this…
Choose the vibration you are offering the Universe in each and every present moment. And if you can’t choose then trust and surrender to the power of the Universe that always has your back.
Here are 15 things you can do right now that will begin to shift the results you see in your life and transform the energy that is holding you back once and for all…
1. Believe beyond what you can see
Just because you can’t see what you desire appearing before your very eyes in this moment, does not mean that it’s not percolating in the ether and conspiring with the Universe to land into your reality very soon.
2. Failure often comes before success
Always remember this very powerful quote from Florence Scovel Shinn and that is…
“Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”
3. Declutter your environment
One of the fastest ways to start manifesting abundance into your life is to try a process called “decluttering”. This means getting rid of everything in your life that no longer serves you. Donate old clothes to charity, sort out your closest, cupboards and drawers. This will clear the old and create space for the new to manifest into your life.
4. Get specific on your desired amount and how it will manifest
When you write down your intentions, try and be as specific as possible. The Universe loves and thrives on specific requests. Dive into the details of the things, people, places and experiences you are wanting to manifest.

5. Thank the Universe as if it has already manifested
Here’s the real “secret”…
Everything happens in the non-physical or etheric realm first before it filters through the physical realm. Everything we are and everything we experience is a mere echo of the vibrational essence that has been offered prior to this present moment. The trick is to thank the Universe for the things you desire before they actually manifest. This not only removes any resistance, but it makes it easier for your objects of desire to flow into your current reality with ease and grace.
6. Rise above limiting beliefs
Take some time to focus on healing the things in your life that you can identify as “blocks” in your flow of abundance. These are usually hindering your progress in the form of beliefs that you’ve probably held in your heart since childhood. Check out my course called MANIFEST if you really want to dive into some deep healing that will help take your life to the next level.
7. Learn to love your money and celebrate prosperity
If you see a tiny coin on the ground in the parking lot I want you to pick it up and beam with gratitude. You need to thank the Universe for the prosperity. Next time you get a paycheck I want you to do a little dance of joy.
Just remember: When you celebrate prosperity it multiplies. The Universe adores it when people party up a storm when money rolls in. It’s a sign of openness, willingness, and of being an active participant in the expansion of your consciousness.
8. Identify and get creative with the way you wish to attract abundance
You can’t sit on top of a mountain meditating and expect a gazillion bucks to fall into your lap. You must take inspired action. What are ways that you could joyously generate extra income? Could you make art and sell it on Etsy? Could you do some babysitting work? Could you make and sell jam at a local market?
Just remember: You need to give yourself permission to open up the space in your life to receive the energetic exchange of abundance.
9. Fake it until you make it
One of the most entertaining ways to immerse yourself in the energy of abundance is by “pretending” that you’re living life the way you would want to be living. My husband and I like to go and view multi-million dollar properties or go and check out the specs on luxury cars. The whole idea is to immerse yourself in the energy of prosperity, because it sticks to your aura and magnifies the more you play the game.
10. Surround yourself with inspiration
When you create space and time in your life to surround yourself with inspiration then you actively start to participate in the vibration of that thing. If you read books on success, you start to offer a different frequency out to the Universe that will bounce back to you. Inspiration can come in many forms. There are countless amounts of books in the library and millions of uplifting videos of YouTube. And the best part is that inspiration is quite often FREE and surrounding you everywhere you look.
11. Create a vision board
Vision boards gained huge popularity after being mentioned in the hit movie ‘The Secret’ back in 2006. Over the years I have had tremendous success using this very powerful technique to bring my desires to life. It’s really fun and can be really effective. Every so often I love to set new intentions by making a new vision board. I recommend you do this at least twice per year.
I become part of the creative process of manifesting by flipping through magazines and cutting out images that spark inspiration in my heart. I turn on some happy music, pour myself a glass of wine and really allow myself creative space to dream big.
12. Keep track of what you spend and what you’d like to spend
Try this fun exercise of keeping two lists. One is for things that you have to spend money on each day and the other list is your “abundance list”. This is the things that you’re going to “mentally” purchase each day with consciousness as your cash. As you do this, your prosperity mindset will expand.
13. Cultivate deep appreciation for everything
Gratitude is a transformative power. When you look for things to appreciate (such as what you already have) then the Universe will reward you by giving you more things to be grateful for. Make it your daily practice, it will literally change everything.
14. Use the power of affirmations to imprint your subconscious mind
The human brain is a marvellous and intricate computer. It can be programed with anything you desire. When you actively and consciousness choose to affirm certain phrases and beliefs then you start to rewire your thinking and create a better life for yourself. Check out my affirmations page for more inspiration to release those pesky abundance blocks.
15. Feel worthy
The underlying cause of self-sabotage in a person’s life is undoubtedly not feeling worthy enough. We tend to create unnecessary drama or obstacles that prevent us from blossoming into our full potential. We might set New Year’s resolutions that fizzle out soon after they’ve been set and then hope to start the diet again on Monday or save money starting next month etc. All it takes to rise above this epidemic of lack of worthiness is to choose a better path in each momment we are presented with. Choose to love yourself a little deeper, choose to nurture you heart and a little harder and watch the magic happen and unfold.

Sarah, I am interested to hear more about your “two lists”
Keeping track of what you spend, I get. But keeping track of what you’d LIKE to spend?
Does that mean I should keep a separate list and jot down what I WOULD HAVE spent whenever I see a great leather jacket I wish I could buy, or a fancy restaurant I wish I was going to dinner at?
