My Ingredients to Claim a Delicious Life: Become the Change!
Manifestation is all the rage. If we want the life of our dreams, we’re told to visualize. Keep picturing that new job and fantastically amazing relationship and it will come to fruition. Sprinkle in a little bit of positive thinking and then voilà! If it doesn’t work right away, we’re told to be patient and visualize some more. Then frustration sets in, and we beat ourselves up because we must be doing something wrong but can’t figure out what that is. Isn’t this exhausting?!
In my 22 years of teaching seminars, working with clients, and studying these ideas, I’ve realized that we’re missing the main ingredients when it comes to “manifesting” the life we want. We’re essentially trying to just eat the frosting without even baking the cupcakes!
I’d like to invite you to explore a whole new way of claiming your dreams. What if you started with BEING the person who lived the life you want? If you want your outside to change, you need to go within and BECOME the change you want to see in the world. Energy follows reality. You don’t experience reality. You experience your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about reality. So, if you want to change your reality, you need to start with aligning your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with the experience you want to create.
When we want something, we’re really looking to feel a certain way rather than have a certain thing. I’m encouraging you to focus on cultivating those feelings and ways of being rather than manifesting the thing. By placing attention only on the results, you lose the true currency meant to flow between yourself and Spirit.
We are all destined to be the best person we can be. You can create the life you want by becoming awake, conscious, empowered, and partnered with the Divine.
Here’s an exercise to help you become the person who lives the life you want.
- First, think of what you want to change in your life and write down your thoughts, feeling, and beliefs about your current experience.
- Next, describe the life you want and the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs you expect to experience by living that dream. How would you feel about yourself if you had that loving relationship? What would you think about life if you were offered a better job? Who would you be if you already had the means to pursue your dreams?
- Now, compare the two descriptions. How can you bring your current thoughts, feelings, and beliefs into synergy with the person who lives the life you want? What actions can you take to make those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs a reality? Remember, you can’t always think your way into your destiny, but you can act your way into a new way of being. Act as if this were true—even if you’re not yet coherent with this idea, the more you act the more your subconscious begins to look for opportunities in your outer world to match what it knows. Then your intuition kicks in and all manner of meaningful coincidences line up to prove you right!

Love it, Colette. And very timely for me.
oooohhhhhhhh, okay – I get that… uhhuh. alright then…
there is work to do…
I love this Colette! So many people are caught up in the law of attraction game of thinking that all they have to do is think their way into having whatever they want….it’s so much more about being before becoming. And, that it is definitely a process to be patient with and allowing yourself to let go and let God!
Goddess Colette!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’ve done it again, you’re giving away the store! Your store of information! This is nothing less than part of your first online class from last week, isn’t it? You mentioned homework from it on last weeks radio show, and this has got to be it!
It’s not easy, as you said, it’s pages and pages of work! I’m still not done, and I started yesterday! Talk about junk coming up and out! Yikes, my goop looks like tar, and all that is in my heart and thought. Now to focus on how I want to be, have all my emotions, thoughts, and beliefs line up with what I really want…how I want to live!
You are no easy teacher, but it’s why I love you and your work, you push and I need that.
Since my Oct. 12 reading with you, I’ve dug myself into a huge hole, so I am using this to get me out. Hahahahah gotta laugh or I’d cry. I learn slowly sometimes.
Thank you sooo much for all you give, and this you’ve given, a very nice freebee indeed!
Peace and Blessings!
Q
It’s not enough to sit idle and rely on affirmations or prayer to create change in your life. Actions ignite change and create windows of opportunity. Our emotions and physical responses are expressions of consciousness. A little movement like spring cleaning your home is enough to encourage momentum.
Great post, Simon.
Unfortunately, banks, creditors, and landlords don’t understand or care about the Law of Attraction and everything that goes with it. A person cannot go to their landlord, creditors, or bank and say, “…I’m waiting on the universe to give me financial freedom, but I must be patient. Apparently I have more internal work to do before I see anything manifest in my life. I’ve sent out resume after resume, attend networking meetings, but haven’t received any interviews. I’m not sure why. May I forward my payments at a later date? How about a hug instead?” It doesn’t work that way. This is why people get frustrated with all of the material that’s written about the Laws; I’m one of those people.
When you keep working on yourself day after day after day and you don’t “physically” see the results (unless you’re working on releasing weight from your body), you become aggravated and frustrated because you’d like to see the manifestations now. Actually, I would have preferred my manifestations two years ago
I’m with you on this Colette. If you’re focusing on using law of
attraction there must also be action. It’s important that we
align the internal and external. Life is delicious when there is
a harmony of key elements you’ve mentioned in this empowering piece.
I’m sharing 5 simple secrets to begin living a delicious life on
a call tomorrow.

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comNo Aries is happy about being cornered into doing anything. But the circumstances triggered by your ruler Mars' encounter with the fair but tough Saturn indicate exactly that. Battle these if you must. Ultimately, however, you'll realise that tedious as these seem, tacking them would be in your best interests. By Shelley von Strunckel
Obviously you're unhappy that others are making decisions that should be yours to deal with. And this is especially true now, since these are bringing changes as disruptive as they'd be unnecessary. Or so you think. Discuss this with the person in question. Their reasoning is likely to win you over. By Shelley von Strunckel
The secret to getting through the next few days successfully is to regard even the simplest of arrangements as but one stage in many. That way when the unsettling and often unexpected developments triggered by the current rather intense planetary activity take place, you'll make whatever adjustments are needed, and without any dramas. By Shelley von Strunckel
If you're worried about something or someone, you'll usually reflect on past experience until you feel you understand what you're facing. However, with so much in transition, such a review will only confuse matters. Instead, discuss concerns openly with others. Daunting as this seems initially, what you learn could revolutionise your outlook. By Shelley von Strunckel
With both Saturn and, as of now, the impatient Mars accenting your perspective on various crucial decisions, you could rush into things. The trick is to react swiftly but make no arrangements you can't reorganise. What you discover over the coming weeks could be surprising, enough to substantially alter your thinking and priorities. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that both Saturn and, as of yesterday, Mars, have departed your sign, you get a break. This is a relief, but you won't entirely escape this period of dramatic change. Rather, you'll no longer feel you're responsible for holding everything together, as you have for most of the past three years. By Shelley von Strunckel
As a Libra you often agonise over decisions. This is particularly the case now, because situations are pressing and you're conscious that what you opt for will profoundly influence others. Still, your priority must be you. Discuss this if you must, but only to explain your thinking. Not to obtain anybody's approval. By Shelley von Strunckel
When there's anything you regard as unwise or simply don't want to do, you'll find a diplomatic yet firm way to avoid it. Often without those involved realising they've been refused. Now, however, you're urged to talk this through. Only once you do, will you recognise just how much you'd be missing. By Shelley von Strunckel
Occasionally you'll gloss over tedious details because you expect others to be as bored with them as you are. On the contrary, not only are certain individuals actually interested in these, allow them to take the lead and they'll offer invaluable insights and guidance about how you should be handling such matters. By Shelley von Strunckel
Inevitably, your ruler Saturn's recent move into the gracious Libra will make you even more conscious than usual about the need to handle sensitive situations diplomatically. Still, with things so urgent at the moment, you'll probably have to employ a firm hand when it comes to planning, but combine it with a gentle touch. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes it's not until others challenge your views that you actually stop to think them through. This certainly appears to be the case now. Annoying as a few of the issues being raised seem, they're forcing you to examine what's behind certain ideals and objectives. And just when such a process is timely. By Shelley von Strunckel
You're about to go to battle over an issue that simply isn't as important as it once was. But you resist acknowledging that things have changed. Do so and you'll not only liberate yourself from a tedious and increasingly time-consuming drama, you'll be free for other, far more rewarding, pursuits. By Shelley von Strunckel
