Ask For What You Want And Be Prepared To Get It.

Manifesting can be such a weird concept for many people, I know for me it wasn’t something I grew up practicing or knowing much about; I came about it around 25, when I read The Secret; but once I read the book, I did nothing to practice it. First of all, I believe in God, so for me I was a bit confused; did it work against each other? Did it go hand in hand? Was there any correlation? With this thought and where I was in my life back then, I just couldn’t get on board with this “Manifesting”.

When did it all change for me? It was before I made the turn around mentally, the Afia Est. 2019, the new and improved Afia, it was before she arrived, it was around June 2018, that I saw a manifestation of mine come true, it was the fact that I could suddenly cook at the age of 32!! This must all sound so random, like why would someone manifest the ability to cook! but just hear me out… When I was younger, I always thought ‘Oh wish I could cook, I hope that when I have my kids, they will love the food that I cooked, and they always want to come home to my cooking, but there was one big problem; I literally could just not cook! I tried so hard, but the flavour was just not there! Once I cooked chicken and I was so sure it was raw, I literally just took the plate from my husband who was mid-eating and just threw it in the bin!

Anyway; one day I decided I AM going to be the mum that can cook and I WILL cook amazing food right now. That week I looked up some recipes and added my own spin to flavours, which is a bit risky for a first-time chef like me! My first dish I attempted was a chicken jalfrezi and some boiled rice- BOOM! It turned out amazing!!! I kid you not since then I have not cooked a bad dish!! I self-taught myself in the end to cook the majority of my dishes. This was my first experience of manifesting; this was my first thing I manifested into existence. What happened? How did I suddenly know how to cook? BECAUSE I BELIEVED and I KNEW that I WAS going to be able to cook! I just KNEW that day I was going to be able to cook anything I wanted and it would taste really good!

This was the beginning of my manifesting journey, my manifesting journey became even more real when in January 2019 I saw this gorgeous leopard print doormat, my husband asked me why am I wasting money on it? My response was because this is the doormat for the new house we will get by the end of the year; now let me tell you at this point; I hadn’t returned back to work after the birth of my second child, she was now 2, I had no plans to go back for another year, so our house plans for a new house were kind of slow; BUT I just knew I would get a new house by the end of 2019. I was the new Afia Est 2019. now, so it was the start of me being positive, at this point I still didn’t realise how strong I could go with manifesting, the cooking was like instant manifestation and I knew this would take a bit more time. I remember saying to my husband, I don’t know how we will get the house that we want, but we just will by Dec 2019. He just shrugged it off. Fast-forward to summer 2019; we went on so many house viewings, nothing was ready in the background i.e., the mortgage in principle. Also, the requirements I had for the house; none of the houses met them and the ones we did like, our offers didn’t get accepted, but looking back now, now we have got this house, the others weren’t the ones for us, I was forcing the situation there because I didn’t LOVE them, but I wanted our next house ASAP. I had to really had to talk to myself, I had to tell myself to trust the process and to not be who I used to be, I have to learn to let go.

Now it comes to November 2019, I was vibrating on high energies now, I was open to all creative solutions, I was so used to practicing this positivity breeds positivity! My husband showed me a house online that I had looked at a few times, but for some reason I just never pursued, when he showed me, I thought okay why not it has been on for a while now at a new lower price. At this point we had taken getting a mortgage in principle a bit more seriously and the whole financial side of it all just came together, so now it was just being able to find a house that suited us, which honestly felt like it was just never going to happen! We went to see the house, and I could see all the potential, it literally had all the requirements I wanted- now we just needed our offer to get accepted, but previously we were so used to the offers not being accepted, but something felt different about this house! I just knew this was ours. So, we put an offer in. We got a call 3 days later and the estate agents said they accepted someone else’s offer; but something about this call. And rejection felt different, I didn’t get deflated, I knew this house was mine. I questioned why we got rejected, I chased the estate agents I wanted a response to why we didn’t get the offer; after their responses we chose to re-negotiate and we left the ball in the seller’s court. This response took a week we were now in the first week of December; but again, I just knew I was getting a house by the end of the year. On December 4th 2019; we got the call and they told us we got the house!

Now when I say to you my vibrations were high! They were high at this point!

I started 2020 on an insane buzz. Even corona coming in March ended up being a weird blessing, it allowed me to go on furlough and decorate the house alongside the builders. Every angle of my house has been manifested, things I wanted in the house, e.g., tiles, sinks, paint colours everything I got it, I would literally just come across it, it just happened. Whilst doing my house up, the world was falling around us; but I had to just see it as everything I have is a blessing. I was full of gratitude. I was so grateful to God for allowing me to see the process of letting go, believing and keeping the faith as this allowed me to stay positive and achieve everything to happen via the process of Manifestations!

If we break down what manifesting actually is?

- It is to be clear about what you want, you may only know what you want for the end goal but just learn to trust the process and be open to all creative solutions and just see how it all works out.

- Say NO to negativity. Positivity breeds positivity; when you want something, keep that thought fixed in your head; don’t allow any blocks. We block ourselves so easily with all negative thoughts.

- Raise your vibrations: Keep your energies high, keep smiling, laughing and working towards what you want.

- Believe in yourself. Subconsciously we can talk ourselves out of what we deserve and that’s not okay. Tell yourself you already have it. Believe it. You want it? It is yours!

- You have everything in abundance. Money in abundance, creativity in abundance. Visualise what you want.

Manifesting, positivity, faith, religion; whatever it is that keeps you positive, allows you to visualise and allows you to KNOW you will get everything you desire, then you do you! Go get that dream life that you want.
