This isn’t a story about vision boards and hoping the universe gets the memo. This is about using your actual brain, body, and energy to bring something to life. Something very specific. Like a house with the exact layout you imagined… in the exact neighborhood you pictured.
I’ve used this process for everything from landing a layoff I secretly wanted to calling in our current home. It’s not mystical or complicated. It’s just honest, repeatable, and wildly effective when you give it your full energy.
Here’s how I did it — and how you can too.
1. Get super clear on what you want
This is where most people skip too fast. You can’t just say “I want a house” and expect the universe (or your own brain) to know what that means.
I knew the exact neighborhood. I pictured the way the morning light would hit the kitchen. I knew where the bedrooms would be, how the layout would flow, even where I’d keep the coffee mugs.
I drove through that neighborhood and imagined myself already living there.
This is about clarity. Not just the thing, but the experience of having it.
2. Journal in the morning and right before bed
I wrote what I wanted, why I wanted it, and how it would feel to already have it. Doing this twice a day kept the vision fresh and grounded. It stopped my mind from spiraling into lack or doubt. It trained me to expect it.
It also made the vision feel less like a dream and more like a decision.
3. Feel it in your body
This one is powerful.
I’d get in my car, put on music that moved me, and speak out loud about what I was calling in. I described it in detail, like I already had it. I let myself get emotional. I let it hit my nervous system.
That physical reaction? That’s the bridge between “idea” and “reality.” Your body believes what you let it feel.
4. Use your “workshop of the mind” at night
Before bed, I’d close my eyes and enter a mental space I created — like a cozy studio where I’d build the life I was manifesting.
With the house, I’d walk through it room by room. I’d picture the art on the walls, the sound of my kids’ voices, the smell of coffee in the morning light. I made it so real in my mind that when we found the house, it felt like I had already lived there.
You can use this space for anything. A relationship, a business, a sense of peace. It’s yours.
5. Take action when the nudge hits
You can’t sit in your car journaling forever. The universe (and your subconscious) will give you little nudges — and you need to act on them.
With the house, I got pre-approved, connected with agents, and looked at listings. I had conversations. I made space.
Movement tells your nervous system this is real. Action is the yes that calls the thing in.
6. Be the version of you who already has it
This is the part where it gets fun. Start asking, “If I already had this, how would I show up?”
How would I walk into a room? What would I stop worrying about? What boundaries would I hold? How would I speak about my life?
Even subtle shifts in how you dress, speak, or treat yourself can create a whole new energy. That energy is what draws your desires closer.
When doubt creeps in, I go back to a visual I love: a conveyor belt moving slowly toward me with everything I’ve asked for. I don’t need to chase it. I just need to be ready to receive it.
Bonus Trick: The Screen of the Mind
If I ever feel stuck or doubtful, I use a little trick called the “Screen of the Mind.” Close your eyes. Picture your current reality on a dark screen. Then create a second screen glowing bright beside it — filled with the life you want. Step into the bright screen. Feel yourself inside that life.
It shifts your energy fast.
