As we dive into 2025, I’m feeling all kinds of excitement and hope for what this year will bring. Manifesting your goals isn’t just about wishful thinking—it’s about creating a mindset and habits that bring your dreams to life. I’ve learned this firsthand through my journey as a mom, entrepreneur, and blogger. Here are five steps that have worked for me, and I hope they’ll inspire you too.

1. Be Crystal Clear About What You Want

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that vague goals get vague results. A few years ago, I set a goal to "get more organized," but nothing changed until I defined exactly what I meant. For example, I decided to declutter Journey’s bedroom, create a toy rotation system, and stick to a weekly cleanup schedule.

Action Steps:

• Write your goals down in detail. For example, I once set a goal to grow my Instagram to 5,000 followers by posting consistently three times a week.

• Break big goals into smaller steps so they’re less overwhelming.

• Give yourself a deadline. Trust me, having a timeline makes a huge difference!

  
  

2. Visualize Your Goals as Already Achieved

I’ll admit, visualization felt a little awkward at first, but now it’s a daily ritual I swear by. When I wanted to start a print-on-demand shop, I’d picture myself packing orders and receiving happy reviews. It helped me stay motivated and excited.

Action Steps:

• Take 5-10 minutes a day to close your eyes and imagine your dream life. For me, it’s sitting in my cozy office, sipping coffee while hitting "publish" on a blog post that resonates with readers.

• Create a vision board! Mine includes photos of family vacations, inspiring quotes, and reminders of the milestones I’m working towards.

• Keep your vision visible—mine hangs in my workspace to keep me inspired.

3. Take Action Every Day

Manifestation doesn’t work without action—I’ve learned this the hard way! When I decided to monetize my blog, I had to create a content plan, sign up for affiliate programs, and stay consistent. It took time, but every little step added up.

Action Steps:

• Build habits that align with your goals. When I wanted to improve my fitness, I committed to 15-minute morning workouts. It was small but effective.

• Track your progress and celebrate your wins. I remember treating myself to a new notebook when I hit my first affiliate income milestone—it felt amazing!

• Don’t be afraid to tweak your plan as you go. Sometimes what works for others might not work for you, and that’s okay.

4. Practice Gratitude and Positivity

When life gets overwhelming (and let’s be real, it does), gratitude is my secret weapon. During a particularly tough month, I started a gratitude journal, and it completely shifted my perspective. Instead of stressing about everything I hadn’t done, I focused on small wins like "Journey’s laughter made my day."

Action Steps:

• Start a gratitude journal. Write down three things you’re thankful for each day. Mine often includes little moments like "the perfect cup of coffee" or "a sweet comment from a follower."

• Replace negative thoughts with affirmations. When I catch myself doubting, I repeat, "I am capable and deserving of success."

• Surround yourself with uplifting people. Whether it’s friends, family, or online communities, positive energy is contagious.

5. Trust the Process and Stay Consistent

Patience isn’t my strong suit, but I’ve learned that consistency pays off. When I launched my Amazon storefront, sales were slow at first, and I started doubting myself. But I kept promoting and improving, and eventually, things clicked.

Action Steps:

• Keep your "why" front and center. For me, it’s building a future for my family and showing my daughters that dreams are worth chasing.

• Don’t let setbacks stop you. When one of my blog posts flopped, I used the feedback to make the next one better.

• Focus on the journey. Some of my favorite moments have been learning and growing along the way.
