How to Avoid Burnout: 11 Ways to Transform Your Energy

Photo by cottonbro, PexelsHow to Avoid Burnout: 11 Ways to Transform Your Energy

What you seek is seeking you— a quote made famous by Rumi. What you focus on and do in your life becomes your reality, and your decisions and actions have consequences. Feeling burned out is your brain’s way of signaling for radical change. Society pressures us to believe we are only successful by “hustling.” But we all know it’s not beneficial for our long-term mental and physical health. So, why do we keep giving in to the pressures that lead to burnout? Ask yourself:

Do I need to slow down more in my life?

The pandemic forced us to do so, but now more people are returning to work at their work locations. And this trend is slowly gaining speed. It might be a good time to audit your work life before your health changes your career. According to Kathryn Mayer of SHRM, “One in three U.S. employees say their job has hurt their mental health over the past six months, with 30 percent saying their job has made them feel overwhelmed and 29 percent saying it’s made them feel anxious at least once a week.”

Furthermore, she states, “The survey of 1,000 workers…also found that 27 percent of Generation Z workers say their job has made them feel depressed at least once a week in the past six months. That’s not only putting them at risk for other health issues, but it’s also causing many of them to look for a new job.”

You may be doing too much each day, like you were pre-pandemic, to provide for yourself and your family. But what if you realize you’re doing this when it’s too late? Sometimes you only see the energetic train wreck heading your way shortly before you “crash and burn.” When you physically can’t do anything any longer because your energy has depleted, that’s the feeling of being burned out.

Everything you experience stems from your brain. Your body cannot properly function without a healthy brain. And you can only manifest your life goals with a well-balanced mindset and physical body of energy. The unraveling process of heading towards burnout starts with two crucial activities becoming unbalanced: sleep and clean eating. They are vital for good mental health and successfully manifesting your dreams.

You may only allow yourself 4-5 hours of sleep per night. Or maybe you’re “grabbing something” instead of sitting for twenty minutes and enjoying the meal you prepared beforehand. Listen, I get it. And when I get into the above habits, I start noticing I gain more weight because I’m trying to substitute so much for buying another five or ten minutes in my day. Before I realized it, I was up ten pounds despite constantly moving around.

Is exchanging five or ten minutes of each day worth the extra five to ten pounds, or more, gained? Was I doing so much because I wasn’t trusting the process of manifesting my goals? And why did I suddenly feel burned out?

Is life supposed to be a race to our inevitable death? Why is “success” a competition? And why are we competing with ourselves? Why are we allowing society to pressure us into constantly pushing ourselves to the brink? Why are we so addicted to the “going and going” like the Energizer Bunny and struggling with “not enough time in the day to…?”

What could happen if we relaxed more or had office-designated “nap” pods at work with longer lunch breaks? What could happen to our work productivity and mental and physical health if we stopped buying into the current “success” story society has trained us to believe? What could happen if we stopped allowing ourselves to feel inadequate in life? What if culture and work environments adapt to practices to avoid feeling burned out?

Photo by Carlos Santiago, PexelsWhat You Can Do to Avoid Feeling Burnout

Through journal exploration, I challenge you to ask yourself why you allow your daily habits and what you could do instead to transform your energy and avoid feeling burned out. Through mindset journaling, I realized I was adopting self-limiting practices because I wasn’t 100% trusting the process of manifesting my life goals.

Remind yourself that it’s perfectly okay not to hustle, struggle, stress out, and try to be superhuman. You cannot manifest your dreams by adopting this self-sabotaging behavior that becomes a habit. You’ll only manifest more struggle and stress, leading yourself to burnout. As a master at manifesting both ends of the spectrum, I’ve learned this the hard way. I encourage you instead to:

Take a mental break for ten minutes by setting your phone’s alarm three times per day to get into the habit of itMeditate daily for ten to twenty minutesDo yoga, go on a walk, or garden daily and weeklyTake a nap when you can (but don’t be like George Costanza and nap under your desk at work!)Color, draw, or paint as a hobby- it’s not just for kidsDo your ManiFAST journaling daily for five to ten minutes to manifest fasterPlay with your pets- they will give you so much love in return for itHang out with your kids playing games and reading books Read a book you’re interested in Drink some herbal tea or water- throw some fruit into your H20, tooRelax by doing nothing, literally

The Universe doesn’t communicate through languages. It reflects energy by responding to your mental, emotional, and physical energy. What you seek is seeking you. So, let’s chill out more, take care of ourselves, and trust the process of manifesting our life goals so we don’t feel the burnout.

How to Manifest Something: 7 Effective Ingredients in 5 Minutes

How to Manifest Something. Photo by Ron Lach, PexelsHow to Manifest Something: 7 Effective Ingredients in 5 Minutes

The phrase, “What you focus on expands,” became famous because the law of attraction (manifestation) is a scientific physical law that makes up the Universe. All of us are manifesting all the time, whether we are doing it consciously or subconsciously. The result depends on how often you focus and whether or not you believe what you focus on is a possibility. A singular thought doesn’t have much influence on you as a thought that becomes a belief. And your beliefs become manifestations of greater power through actions. For decades, scientists have proven what theories once were. Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla proved scientific theories by taking action and being open to the belief that what they were focusing on were possibilities.

You may not work in theoretical or experimental science. However, you can still prove your theories about what you want to experience. What would you think if I told you that you can manifest anything you desire by taking what I call “ManiFASTing action?” You can manifest faster because you spend five minutes daily setting your energetic intentions in motion within the Universe. Five minutes per day doesn’t sound like much. However, the compound effect of taking ManiFASTing action speeds up the process of experiencing anything you desire. I will give you an example of what I do to manifest everything I’ve wanted into my life. Are you ready to know how to manifest quickly? Let’s do it!

How to Approach Manifestation

Before I share an example of what I do each day for five minutes, approach the law of attraction as a game. It’s not serious. The word “serious” has a heavy reflective thought pattern to it. Manifesting is fun and creative. The Universe responds to vibrational energy, not words in a dictionary. It responds to your vibrational energy. If you emphasize seriousness in what you manifest, you’ll create a vibration of the same: seriousness. The Universe will reflect people and situations that will continue providing these thoughts and feelings within you. Therefore, approach this as a fun and light-hearted pastime, a board game, so you can avoid getting too attached to the outcome. It’s an essential ingredient: not being too attached to the outcome. It seems like hypocritical behavior, and in a way, it is, but it’s for your soul’s highest happiness. The first time I manifested something significant, my mouth fell open, and my eyes widened. And then I laughed; I realized I manifested it because I didn’t care if it happened.

How to Manifest Something. Photo by Ron Lach, PexelsHow to Manifest Something: The 7 Effective Ingredients in 5 Minutes

Your brain doesn’t know what is real and what isn’t real. Furthermore, your mind is your sight, not your eyes. In other words, your mind is the projector, and your eyes are the projection screens. What you focus on expands because, anatomically speaking, your brain is your sight. This is how to manifest something:

Take a pen and journal, grab your laptop, or mix it up daily by alternating them. Write out or type out what you want to experience and mesh it with what you have already experienced within your physical realm. Reflect with gratitude, excitement, peace, and anything that emits positive vibrational energy within you. And you want to use the present tense or the past tense when writing into reality. For example, to help you with your effective five-minute manifestation method, I will mesh what I manifested with what I am currently manifesting.

When performing the five-minute manifestation method each day, include these seven ingredients in this effective manifesting formula in any order that you choose:

Release control. Why are you releasing the need to control the outcome of “how” and “when” for this? Why are you choosing to believe it’s happening for your happiness?Present gratitude. What are you thankful for in your life presently?Past gratitude. What have you experienced in the past that you’re grateful for in your life?Gratitude reasons. Why do you have these good thoughts and feelings around them (why are your feelings vital to you)?State what you want. What do you wish to experience in your life?Ignore the negative. How do you wish to feel when experiencing it (similar to your feelings for what you have already experienced)?Taking manifesting action. What can you do by taking physical action to help you feel the emotions you want to experience around your desired manifestation?

How to Manifest Something. Photo by Ron Lach, PexelsMy Manifestation Method Example

Here is a manifestation example I use to write into reality:

I am a master at manifesting anything and everything I want to experience. I easily and quickly manifest because I believe and trust the process of manifesting what I desire by releasing the need to control the outcome. I surrender to the “how” and “when” of my desires, and it instantly manifests every time I release the need to control. I am grateful for releasing fifty-five pounds from my body this past year. I feel healthier, look healthier, sleep better, have more energy, and love how my physique responds to my self-care routines. I’m incredibly thankful for now wearing four sizes smaller clothes than what I was wearing before. I don’t feel like I have to hide my body anymore, and shopping for smaller clothes is fun because I feel more confident. Sometimes during the day, when I’m sitting in my chair working, I love to wrap my arms around myself because I can physically do this now. And sitting cross-legged is no longer a problem for me. I feel so thankful for my health and my lighter mass.

Thank you so much (insert any higher being you use in your faith) for helping me to manifest my new yoga physique. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I surrender to the “how” and “when” and trust the process of manifesting this into my physical realm. I trust (your preferred faith in a higher being) is helping me to manifest this and more. I am open to receiving this and everything good for my soul’s highest happiness. I will take action to move towards my manifestations through your help with the process. I surrender and release all control because I know that either this or something much better will come to me, for me, and my highest good.

How to Manifest Something. Photo by Ron Lach, PexelsWhy This Manifestation Method Works Every Time

The above paragraphs show how I approach setting my manifesting intentions daily for five minutes. This is how to manifest something quickly. Writing into reality is a great way to visualize what you desire to experience and take ManiFASTing action because you are writing it into existence. Sometimes I draw visualizations in my journal to help me explore the possibilities of my desired outcomes. When I blended what I already manifested with what I’d like to experience in the tense I gave in the above example, it’s harder to decipher what’s “real” versus what is “not real” as a possibility. And choosing your words sets the tone for your feelings and beliefs about possible outcomes. I decided to say, “releasing fifty-five pounds from my body,” rather than stating, “losing fifty-five pounds.” The word “losing” has a negative connotation to it. The term “releasing” sounds a bit more pleasing and effortless. Same when I stated, “I feel so thankful for my health and lighter mass.”

I purposely don’t use words that create pressure or emotional expectations within my mindset because what I focus on expands. Of course, it’s not a singular thought that manifests. The compound effect of the same or similar ideas that turn into beliefs, which can become manifestations. The phrase, “you are what you eat,” applies to “you are what you think” and even to “you are what you believe.” Your reality is your perception. Writing it down or typing it out helps you clarify what you choose to focus on and how you respond to possible outcomes. It’s ManiFASTing, manifesting faster, through the five minutes of the daily compound effect that shifts your mindset, which changes the reality you experience.

For the above example of how I ManiFAST, I have released fifty-five pounds from my body. I am manifesting buying four sizes smaller clothes and having a “yoga” physique. My clothing size is two sizes smaller, and I don’t have the “yoga” physique yet. I’m getting there, and I don’t care when it happens. It’s possible for me, and I accept it as an outcome. I realize being too attached to it because I don’t want to obsess over it. I will continue taking actions that benefit my overall mental health because my body responds to my sight: my mindset.

If this can work for an over-thinker like me who has OCD and daily anxiety, I know it can also work for you. Thank you, Universe! And this is how to manifest something- really anything– you want to experience quickly.

I’M READY TO MANIFAST

Gemstone Meanings: How to Use 3 Gemstones for Effective Manifestation

Gemstone Meanings: How to Use 3 Gemstones for Effective Manifestation

Like many of you, I have loved gemstones since I was a teenager, especially when paired with classic metals like sterling silver or white gold. I’m definitely related to my mom! And, as a typical dreamy Pisces, I dress based on my mood. My closet is organized by color, and so is my jewelry. It makes it much quicker for this “night owl” to get a few extra minutes of sleep each morning.

I recently purchased a house, and during the settling process, I noticed that my gemstone collection had substantially increased to create an inspirational and guiding presence in each of my home’s rooms. While decorating over these past few months, I’ve looked up the meanings of gemstones more often. I’m not decorating based on classic Feng Shui, but more on classic Pisces: my intuition and mood. This got me thinking:

Many people seek spiritual guidance to deepen their faith and foster personal growth. There are many online resources available that discuss the spiritual meanings of gemstones, and it’s easy to learn about the crowd-pleasing gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. But what about using lesser-known spirit-guided gemstones to progress our spiritual practices? We naturally gravitate towards routines because they bring familiarity into our lives. Still, we’re encouraged to step outside our comfort zone when practicing spirituality and using manifestation methods, as it allows physical space for our desires to emerge into our physical realm.

How to Successfully Manifest Using 3 Powerful Gemstones & Their Gemstone Meanings

After learning many more advantages of incorporating gemstones into my spiritual practices, I found a few that I am drawn to and decided to use as part of my growth journey with using manifestation. Below are a few gemstones you may be surprised to learn about their properties and how they can help you with manifestation and spiritual guidance:

Sunstone by Otter Spirit Sunstone

If you’re looking for creative inspiration or to uplevel your confidence, look no further than sunstone. Known for its sunny disposition due to its outgoing orange hues, this gemstone can help you overcome self-imposed limits by instilling courage, leadership, and originality. You don’t need caffeine to give yourself an energetic boost; sunstone can guide you in achieving your goals through successful focus. Furthermore, it’s believed by some to help combat the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Sunstone is associated with your solar plexus chakra, influencing your self-esteem and inner power.

Idea: Wear sunstone during the winter seasons and perform a mental audit by journaling your thoughts for five minutes each day after focusing on the gemstone’s colors for a few minutes. Do this for a week and note any personal shifts.

Skyblue Jade by Otter SpiritSky Blue Jade

Sky blue jade is an excellent gemstone to adopt if you want to feel more balanced. The serene blue hue reflects a soothing energy, helping you gain peace and clarity for your mental health and nervous system. Many light blue gemstones offer similar relief and guidance involving overwhelm and anxiety. Still, sky blue jade is believed to help balance your crown and heart chakras, thereby doubling the self-love and calmness within your nervous system, all wrapped into one gemstone. But there’s more! This gemstone also guides you to more transparent communication by unblocking your throat chakra. Do you have something to say, but aren’t sure how to express it? Sky blue jade is at your service.

Idea: Wear sky blue jade when determining the outcome of a personal or career-related relationship. Journal your current situation, and your thoughts and feelings about it. Then, journal 3-4 outcomes that you are open to experiencing within this relationship. Wear sky blue jade and let the answers unfold over the next few weeks. Note how this gemstone helps you remain calm, develop patience, and trust the process as you focus on its soothing blue hue.

Kunzite by Otter Spirit Kunzite

Are you manifesting your ideal love relationship or friendships? Kunzite is your match-making gemstone. It is directly connected to your heart chakra, which is responsible for fostering positive relationships with others and within yourself. The gemstone’s pretty light pink to purple hues foster your inner heart’s strength, opening you up to more compassion, empathy, and, yes, matchmaking connections. Kunzite is believed to help you manifest unconditional love by guiding you to soften your heart and break down your emotional walls. This gemstone is considered a “guardian” stone, meaning that your spirit guides and angels are near when you use it for manifestation.

Idea: If you’re single, consider wearing kunzite on dates. If you’re in a committed relationship, consider wearing kunzite around the house and on dates with your partner. If you’re looking for more rewarding friendships, consider wearing kunzite in general or keeping it at your desk at work. Note how it influences you and journal your experiences when using this stone. When journaling, use the present perfect tense, “I am…” and “we are…”

Why Combining Energies Helps You to Manifest Quickly

The above are only a few of Mother Nature’s many beautiful and enriching gemstones that can help you along your journey to manifesting everything you want into your physical space. Again, part of using manifestation successfully involves using physical areas for what you want to experience. You must combine your powerful energy with the transformative energy of Mother Nature to manifest your desires quickly and effectively.

For example, I’ve made space and decorated my home’s main bedroom and living room using kunzite and rose quartz, the symbols and energy of love. I incorporated citrine, emerald, and amazonite in my kitchen and office, symbolizing success and prosperity. I don’t want to leave my house or unwind from the day without reminding myself I’m open and receiving these blessings into my life.

Speaking of leaving home, I amplify my manifesting energy for my desires by intensifying my intentions through my love for gemstone jewelry. I love to accessorize my outfits with high-quality, natural AAA gemstones that feel cool to the touch (that’s how you know they’re real!), are comfortable to wear, and pair well with your energy for manifesting, all while being rich in color. I play up green tops with sunstone and blue shirts with sky blue jade. This Pisces loves love, so I radiate my pink clothing using kunzite for energy expansion.

The energy you put into the Universe reflects to you, consciously or subconsciously.

Regardless of the gemstone I’m in the mood for wearing or using in my home, they all look beautiful and help me feel my desires manifesting. I use the physical to match the energy of the gemstones- and it works! I always emphasize the importance of taking action to show the Universe that you are serious about what you want to manifest and experience. If you’re unsure how to pair your energy with gemstone energy to amplify your manifesting mojo, choose based on your intention or consult for clarity.

The clearer you become about what you want to experience, the faster it will manifest, or what I call ManiFAST because you’re taking manifesting physical action.

CHOOSE YOUR MANIFESTATION PAIRING Otter Spirit Gemstone Bracelets

PS: As an animal advocate, I like to give back to the Universe where I can. Otter Spirit donates to protecting nearly extinct sea otters with each gemstone you choose for manifestation. It’s a win-win for you and Mother Nature. Learn more about Otter Spirit and their mission.

How to Publish A Book That Sells (4 Simple Steps)

Manifest It! Publishing how to publish a book

How to Publish A Book That Sells in 4 Steps

You have dreams of becoming a published author. But not just any published author, a #1 best-selling author. You want to publish your dream book that sells. In 2017, I had these same dreams. But I didn’t know how to manifest them into my physical reality. Little did I know then that learning how to publish a book, let alone publishing my first dream book, would open many doors for me in my career. Without boring you with all the details, I will share the steps I took to publish my dream book and a book that sells.

Step One: Write the Super Messy Draft

So many people get hung up on the order sequence when writing their rough draft. Here’s a secret: each time I published my best-seller, I didn’t focus on the sequential order of my draft. With my laptop plugged in, I planted my artistic butt on the couch and got the content- the book’s message– typed out onto a Word/Google document. It felt like I didn’t make any headway with writing a book while doing it, but the first step to successfully publishing a book that sells is to get your content typed out, no matter how chaotic it seems to the sequential order. The reason for this is that during the proofreading and editing process, you’ll clean it up and re-arrange content in places of your book that make it seamlessly flow and take the reader on a successful journey to either solving their problem or entertaining them to their soul’s core, which brings me to my next step of how to publish a book that sells.

Step Two: Proofread and Edit Your Emerging Masterpiece

This part of the book publishing process is the most tedious. In 2017, I hired someone to help me edit my book because I wanted it to be professional and because of the blood, sweat, and tears that were put into the pages of my book “Baby.” I looked around on social media to find an editor and found her within a few days. She and I still work together. And she is now a #1 best-selling editor!

Using automated systems like Grammarly is suitable for cleaning up the apparent grammar. But AI (artificial intelligence through a digital medium) can only get you so far with the proofreading and editing process. You know when you hear an album through a digital medium and love everything about it, you buy the concert tickets to listen to the live version of it? You lose yourself in your emotions, hearing the musical instruments being played by other souls live and in person. Nothing beats these kinds of experiences with listening to music. Well, it’s the same when it comes to losing yourself within the pages of a book while reading it.

AI provides a good experience for the proofreading and editing process. But, you lose yourself within the pages of the book you are reading and connecting to because of human emotion written and expressed by other humans. And what better way to communicate what we think and feel than to utilize an expert human who knows how to do this in writing? When paying for writing services, you don’t want to be cheap in publishing your dream book if you want it to sell and receive favorable reviews.

LEARN MOREStep Three: They DO Judge A Book by Its Cover

As much as the famous saying applies to judging people’s character on first impressions, people do judge books by their covers. In 2017, after getting fantastic help with proofreading and editing, I had no idea how to put my final manuscript draft into an actual paperback and digital ebook. After searching around on different freelancing platforms online, I found him. He and I still work together today, and he is a #1 best-selling book format/layout designer!

I gave him the cover image I wanted to use, the book’s interior photos I wanted to include, the colors I was interested in for the book’s covers, and the final manuscript draft. Viola! He turned my manuscript into a successful paperback and ebook. It’s so exciting! The front and back covers looked beautiful, the fonts on the covers looked great, and the manuscript fonts and graphics looked professional. My dream book became a manifested reality!

Manifest It! Publishing Books How to publish a book

Step Four: How to Publish A Book That Sells (The Final Touches)

So I had the final files in my possession, but I didn’t know how to turn them into a physical paperback and list my paperback and ebook for sale online. I researched platforms such as Amazon, IngramSpark, Shopify, and Smashwords, and I went with Amazon. This was a good decision because it laid the bricks and pathway for my books to become top #3 and #10 best-sellers, including one book becoming a #1 best-seller.

The entire process, from proofreading and editing to having my dream book for sale 24/7, took about four months in 2017 when I didn’t know how to publish a book. Getting it to the #1 best-seller status took nine months of trial and error by trying out different genre categories and search keywords. It was a lot of weekly and monthly work of experimenting and testing.

In the summer of 2022, after publishing my three best-selling books and helping thousands of readers manifest their dreams, I launched Manifest It!® Publishing. With the team of my #1 best-selling editor and #1 best-selling book format/layout designer, we became the #1 best-selling publisher in three months! We are so happy to help aspiring authors who want to publish their dream books, and we have published a few #1 best-selling books since launching Manifest It!® Publishing.

Learning how to publish a book in 2017 was nerve-racking and stressful. So, if you want to cut down on a lot of time and trial and error with numerous searches for an excellent editor and book layout designer and months of testing out different genre categories and search keywords for your dream book to publish and sell, we help you with this.

–> BONUS TIP: Should you worry about plagiarism using AI (artificial intelligence)?

Manifestation Journals: 3 Reasons Why People Love Them

Over five years, manifestation journals have blossomed in the marketplace due to their trendy subject on the law of attraction and spirituality. Even today, the phrase “manifestation journal” yields over 8,000 monthly Google searches. But why are they so popular in the spirituality community? I will explain three reasons why people use manifestation journals and why they work when using the law of attraction.

1. Writing Is an Effective Visualization Tool

When I created Manifest It!® in 2017, I realized everything I had already desired manifested because I wrote it down or typed it out using present and past tense. The law of attraction encourages you to use visualization to “see” yourself having or being what you wish to experience. Remember when you were a kid, and each year before the holidays, you would imagine playing with a toy you wanted, and you’d write a letter to Santa? Before knowing about spirituality and the law of attraction, you used its visualization method.

Some manifestation experts, including myself, encourage you to visualize and take physical action around what you desire to manifest. Writing it down or typing it out in both present and past tense helps me to ManiFAST: Manifest Faster. It was how I manifested 99% of everything I ever wanted within ten months and how I repeatedly manifest now.

Using a manifestation journal is similar to writing a letter to Santa. The difference is you’re writing a letter to your belief system by training your brain to accept new possibilities as real. It’s not like a personal diary because you use the manifestation journal to write into reality. In other words, you write down your future, and with the compound effect, your brain shifts your desired reality as a genuine possibility. Plus, writing is a great way to clear the cache within your brain to make room for your new belief system.

2. Manifestation Journals Are “How-To” Guides

Whether you only use manifestation journals or you use them in conjunction with therapy, they are great guidance tools. Journaling provides a safe avenue to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment from others. They help you clear your thoughts and emotions to make informative and empowering responses in your life. Many journals provide guidance prompts so you can identify what has you feeling stuck, why you’re feeling stuck, and how to move through your old habitual thought patterns.

In addition, with consistent usage, manifestation journaling builds your confidence levels to take manifesting action toward achieving your decided goals. We tend to create scary scenarios that don’t play out when uncertain. However, the repetitive chosen focus is what generally emerges into reality.

Manifestation journals help you clarify what you DO want to experience rather than focus on what you don’t want to experience. I wrote my #1 best-selling journaling guidebook, Don’t Feel Stuck!, because I figured out how to ManiFAST using these “how-to” methods, and now I share them with you so you, too, can celebrate your success.

3. They Help You Take Back Your Power

Whether you grab a journaling guidebook and use it to write into reality by writing down or typing out your desired success, manifestation journals empower personal tools to take back your power when uncertain. Every day, we are bombarded by information from the minute we wake until we fall asleep. Our brain has a sensory gating filtering system, which groups and filters information based on what we choose to give a value of importance. And for someone like me who has obsessive-compulsive thoughts, it’s easy for my mind to want to spiral out of control at times because I overthink everything.

Insert manifestation journaling. Thanks to this effective cognitive training tool, anxiety and obsessing over thoughts don’t rule my life anymore. I can acknowledge my disempowering thoughts and feelings and allow them to pass through my energy space by releasing them. My brain’s gating system strengthens by practicing my chosen focus for 5-10 minutes daily through this type of journaling. The compound effect yields a shift in my mental direction for my beliefs and physical outcome.

In Conclusion (The Scientific Facts)

The universe contains billions of elemental energy particles, and it doesn’t know what “real” is and what is “not real.” Therefore, you control your mind, feelings, and reality because the universe acts in a boomerang effect. Your brain contains the identical elemental energy particles that make up the universe, bouncing around and colliding with each other 24/7. In other words, you are in control because the universe reflects what you focus on and act on most of the time. The more you practice shifting your beliefs through manifestation journaling, the more you feel empowered, and reality shifts in your favor. You have to believe it to see it. Anatomically, your brain is your sight, not your eyes. Think of it like your brain is a projector, and your eyes are the projection screens. So try it, grab a few manifestation journals, and experience how magic within you creates magic around you. Happy ManiFASTing!

How to Manifest Money

Photo by Marlon Retratos, PexelsHow to Manifest Money

You are a phenomenal being. How you view the world creates the very world you see. In other words, your beliefs create your reality. You were born with the power to create money, so you must learn how to use it to make your life the way you want it to be.

Many people believe financial abundance buys happiness. And it does in a way, but not necessarily in the way you think. It needs to be used in a specific way to obtain true happiness. But, what does that even look like? The real question is:

What Does True Happiness Look Like to You?

In my 20s, I used spending as a tool for escapism. I lived with depression and anxiety and held on to harmful relationships. Spending my savings was a way to escape my internal struggles.

Money gave me access to luxurious apartments, designer shoes, gorgeous jewelry, higher-end brand make-up, trendy name-brand clothing, and margaritas during happy hours on Wednesday nights.

Sure, the newest ballet flats put some pep in my step for a while, but the feelings faded. Yes, a different shade of eyeshadow was a fun way to play, but it wasn’t as much fun the 5th or 6th time putting it on.

The way I used my finances didn’t bring me the authentic happiness, self-love, and genuine love from relationships I desperately sought. It bought me temporary escapism, but you can’t pay the truth to stay away.

When I turned 26, I hit rock bottom and tried to take my own life.

At the time, I had a job that paid well and great friends, but I was depressed about myself, my bad relationships, and my life in general. Spending my savings gave me the tools to create a lifestyle that appeared full of happiness on the surface, but I was dying inside.

Then, three years ago, I started learning how money is relative and now manifest more of it through a method I call “ManiFASTing.” I manifest faster because I “Write into Reality,” a powerful tool to ManiFAST anything you desire! I will use these terms throughout this book.

I’m stubborn, so it took me three years to balance personal expectations with the art of letting go, especially regarding financial abundance. I’m thankful for this journey because I have learned so much.

Now I have tuned into increasing my abundance and mastered its universal truth. Understanding the existence of money cleared the way for me to receive more through avenues I wasn’t paying attention to before.

The most important thing I learned is that money is a tool, not an answer.

Money can do much harm or good, depending on how you choose to use it.

Some people believe it’s the “root of all evil” because that is what they were taught, yet the very same people or organizations who taught them that ask for donations. Ironic, no?

Money is neutral. It only represents what you choose to believe it does.

If you believe it is bad and associated with greed and selfishness, then the “evidence” supporting that thought will appear in your life. On the other hand, if you believe it is a positive aspect of life, you’ll see proof of the good that money can do and the happiness it can bring.

If you believe you can only get money from your company or people buying what you’re selling, that will be true for you. Others may show you new possibilities, but their methods will never work for you unless you trust they will.

What you believe about money dictates what you get.

More abundance doesn’t come from people; it comes from the Universe.

People justify the value of money through their beliefs, which determine their financial choices and actions. The Universe always mirrors your beliefs and actions.

As about 8% of money exists in the Universe in physical form and 92% is numbers on computer screens, the concept of “money” still puzzles many souls. This book will teach you all the shortcuts to manifesting money beyond your expectations.

Bonus! You will shift your expectations and allow in an abundance of money energy, and you will use this to create your special blend of authentic happiness.

Attach this acronym to money and remind yourself of it every time money comes up by saying it to yourself:

F.U.N. (For my Unlimited Net worth)

Manifesting money comes to you much easier when you’re genuinely happy, which makes ManiFASTing money well, FUN!

Are you ready to enrich your life and your bank account simultaneously?

Harmful Stigmas & Stereotypes in Mental Healthcare

When someone is living with anxiety, panic, OCD, and or depression, calling the police to help them is not the best route for highly sensitive people (empaths) for healthcare. The police and hospitals look at them as a stigma and a stereotype. Even if the person is calm, not in a panic attack any longer, abiding, and willing to go to the hospital, psychologists do not accompany law enforcement for wellness and mental healthcare checks.

Putting the person in handcuffs as a “protocol” only worsens the anxiety. And when the person has elevated vitals, putting them in a tiny, windowless room with colorless walls, no artwork, a ceiling camera, no access to a phone call or personal belongings, and a small cot in a hospital gown without medication or food for hours also don’t help the person with elevated vitals and anxiety. This is not a helpful mental healthcare method.

Panic attacks are scary enough because the brain “shuts down,” but the above treatment makes it so much worse for the person. It’s a traumatic experience.

Empaths (highly sensitive people) are sensitive to their surroundings. They respond best to Mother Nature, animals, water, and art for calming healthcare methods.
– Jaclyn Johnston

The next time you want to help someone (even if they merely had their phone on silent because they were going to bed and trying to escape the panic), please do not call the police. They do not understand how empaths and sensitive people respond to their surroundings. The following are mental healthcare resources you can use, along with other resources, to help a friend or loved one in need:

How to Publish A Book That Sells [4 Simple Steps]

How to Publish A Book That Sells in 4 Steps

You have dreams of becoming a published author. But not just any published author, a #1 best-selling author. You want to publish your dream book that sells. In 2017, I had these same dreams. But I didn’t know how to manifest them into my physical reality. Little did I know then that learning how to publish a book, let alone publishing my first dream book, would open many doors for me in my career. Without boring you with all the details, I will share the steps I took to publish my dream book and a book that sells.

Step One: Write the Super Messy Draft

So many people get hung up on the order sequence when writing their rough draft. Here’s a secret: each time I published my best-seller, I didn’t focus on the sequential order of my draft. With my laptop plugged in, I planted my artistic butt on the couch and got the content- the book’s message– typed out onto a Word/Google document. It felt like I didn’t make any headway with writing a book while doing it, but the first step to successfully publishing a book that sells is to get your content typed out, no matter how chaotic it seems to the sequential order. The reason for this is that during the proofreading and editing process, you’ll clean it up and re-arrange content in places of your book that make it seamlessly flow and take the reader on a successful journey to either solving their problem or entertaining them to their soul’s core, which brings me to my next step of how to publish a book that sells.

Step Two: Proofread and Edit Your Emerging Masterpiece

This part of the book publishing process is the most tedious. In 2017, I decided to hire someone to help me edit my book because I wanted it to be professional and because of the blood, sweat, and tears that were put into the pages of my book “Baby.” I looked around on social media to find an editor and found her within a few days. She and I still work together, and she is now a #1 best-selling editor!

Using automated systems like Grammarly is suitable for cleaning up the apparent grammar. But AI (artificial intelligence through a digital medium) can only get you so far with the proofreading and editing process. You know when you hear an album through a digital medium and love everything about it, you buy the concert tickets to listen to the live version of it? You lose yourself in your emotions, hearing the musical instruments being played by other souls live and in person. Nothing beats these kinds of experiences with listening to music. Well, it’s the same when it comes to losing yourself within the pages of a book while reading it.

AI provides a good experience for the proofreading and editing process. But, you lose yourself within the pages of the book you are reading and connecting to because of human emotion written and expressed by other humans. And what better way to communicate what we think and feel than to utilize an expert human who knows how to do this in writing? When paying for writing services, you don’t want to be cheap in publishing your dream book if you want it to sell and receive favorable reviews.

LEARN MORE Step Three: They DO Judge A Book by Its Cover

As much as the famous saying applies to judging people’s character on first impressions, people do judge books by their covers. In 2017, after getting fantastic help with proofreading and editing, I had no idea how to put my final manuscript draft into an actual paperback and digital ebook. After searching around on different freelancing platforms online, I found him. He and I still work together today, and he is a #1 best-selling book format/layout designer!

I gave him the cover image I wanted to use, the book’s interior photos I wanted to include, the colors I was interested in for the book’s covers, and the final manuscript draft. Viola! He turned my manuscript into a successful paperback and ebook. It’s so exciting! The front and back covers looked beautiful, the fonts on the covers looked great, and the manuscript fonts and graphics looked professional. My dream book became a manifested reality!

Step Four: How to Publish A Book That Sells (The Final Touches)

So I had the final files in my possession, but I didn’t know how to turn them into a physical paperback and list my paperback and ebook for sale online. I researched platforms such as Amazon, IngramSpark, Shopify, and Smashwords, and I went with Amazon. This was a good decision because it laid the bricks and pathway for my books to become top #3 and #10 best-sellers, including one book becoming a #1 best-seller.

The entire process, from proofreading and editing to having my dream book for sale 24/7, took about four months in 2017 when I didn’t know how to publish a book. Getting it to the #1 best-seller status took nine months of trial and error by trying out different genre categories and search keywords. It was a lot of weekly and monthly work of experimenting and testing.

In the summer of 2022, after publishing my three best-selling books and helping thousands of readers manifest their dreams, I launched Manifest It!® Publishing. With the team of my #1 best-selling editor and #1 best-selling book format/layout designer, we became the #1 best-selling publisher in three months! We are so happy to help aspiring authors who want to publish their dream books, and we have published a few #1 best-selling books since launching Manifest It!® Publishing.

Learning how to publish a book in 2017 was nerve-racking and stressful. So, if you want to cut down on a lot of time and trial and error with numerous searches for an excellent editor and book layout designer and months of testing out different genre categories and search keywords for your dream book to publish and sell, we help you with this.
