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.comWhile, obviously, it's important that you think out plans, waste no time on painstaking details. Judging by the coming weeks' planetary activity, even the simplest of arrangements are likely to be revised, and often. Knowing that, you're better off keeping things loose, confident that you'll deal with those refinements later on. By Shelley von Strunckel
During tricky periods, such as the one you've been going through recently, it's easy to become discouraged about ever finding a solution. Don't give up. Actually, with your ruler Venus brilliantly aspecting the intuitive Neptune, an unexpected but inspiring idea or concept could solve these dilemmas, and in a twinkling. By Shelley von Strunckel
The problem with the cycle of unexpected change currently taking place isn't the sudden nature of events. It's the humourless reaction of certain individuals to what, in reality, are rather amusing developments. Don't let their tendency to take things so seriously make you feel that, somehow, you must as well. By Shelley von Strunckel
Tempting as it is to inform others you've no intention of making a decision until you can make one you're comfortable with, you'd be inviting discord. Instead, simply opt for what seems most sensible now, explaining loudly and clearly that you regard it as tentative. Then when adjustments are necessary, nobody can complain. By Shelley von Strunckel
As much as you enjoy a lively exchange of ideas, especially with those who have something interesting to say, you quickly reach a saturation point. Still, at the moment there's a great deal to learn. Enough that although you're feeling both bored and restless, it's worth hanging in there. You'll see. By Shelley von Strunckel
Urgent as certain practical or financial issues seem, bear in mind that you're examining them in a climate of change. What's more, with your ruler Mercury retrograde, simple misunderstandings could add another layer of confusion. Knowing that, talk through every option, but steer clear of commitments that couldn't be altered at a later date. By Shelley von Strunckel
Occasionally it's important to confront those who're being unkind or unfair, even you're not directly involved. As a Libra you prefer to keep the peace. However, those who have no respect for civilised behaviour upset you. And quite rightly. You'll feel better for having stood up for what you think right. By Shelley von Strunckel
Planning ahead may be a good idea. At the moment, however, it could also get you into trouble. With Mercury retrograde until the 12th, and causing confusion in both practical matters and the most fundamental of conversations with others, even the simplest of arrangements is unlikely to remain as you intended. By Shelley von Strunckel
Every New Moon is about a fresh perspective. And because next week's accents your activities out in the world and goals in life, the moment has come to reflect on exactly such matters. However, this is only time for reflection. Make no lasting decisions until after you benefit from this period's profound insights. By Shelley von Strunckel
Annoying as the minor errors that accompany Mercury's retrograde cycle are, they can be amazingly revealing. The secret is to do more than put things right. Begin asking questions about the source and cause of those problems and what you learn could mean you're able to put them to rest for good. By Shelley von Strunckel
Obviously you feel a certain loyalty to those friends and colleagues who've been part of your life for so long. But that doesn't mean their views should influence your relationship with somebody new. If the attitude of those individuals is unwelcoming, recognise that it could be a case of simple jealousy. By Shelley von Strunckel
Take full advantage of the current intense planetary focus on joint ventures in general, and on financial issues in particular, while you can. Ideally, you'll do it now, since with both Venus and Mars departing this angle of your chart next week, things could change. And far more swiftly than you'd anticipated. By Shelley von Strunckel
