Manifest Your Perfect Day

I totally understand how it feels to be stuck in a rut living your life for other people.

Before I had kids I had a great work-life balance, and always planned fun things to look forward to at the weekend.

But 8 years after having 2 kids, I felt totally lost. I had forgotten who I was anymore.

It was like I didn’t exist anymore. I was just a Mum, and “Kath” was long gone. 

This starts after you have your first baby. When you go to the baby groups people start asking “How’s your baby, are they sleeping OK, pooping OK, feeding OK” etc.

Nobody ever asks what your name is and how well you are sleeping and if you’re managing to get any meals yourself. I think people just assume that you won’t be sleeping well and eating well, so there’s no point in even asking. 

When you have a baby – you don’t exist anymore. You simply exist to look after your baby.

And not only did I have 2 kids, but I had also had a few very long periods of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome caused by undiagnosed Celiac Disease.

So the kids and the illness really took their toll on me, and I was certainly not thriving, I was just existing and pulling myself through every day looking forward to getting back to my bed at the end of the night.

8 years later, I had my diagnosis and was able to get my full health back thankfully. So now at least I had my physical health, but I still felt like life was boring, and just consisted of a whole series of chores that I was doing for other people.

There was nothing fun to look forward to, and most of the time I felt a strong urge to run away from it all.

Although I’d managed to manifest a very good income from my business, it didn’t have any impact on my happiness and the quality of my life at all.

I felt like the money I was making just came and went without a trace, and I had no idea where it went. It had no effect on my happiness.

They say money can’t buy happiness and it’s so true.

But if you’re already happy, it sure can buy you more happiness.

On paper it looked like I had it all, a great family, a thriving business, a big house, and the kids were happy in school.

I tried so hard to be grateful for what I had but there was something in me that yearned for something else.

I was unhappy with my whole life.

We had been living in a cold climate for 10 years at that point and I really didn’t like it.

I am a person who loves hot sunshine and being outdoors in warm weather.

For 6 months of the year I never went out because it was so bitterly cold. And this took its toll on my mental health.

Even during the summer it was still cold, and there was nothing of any beauty worth visiting nearby so we still didn’t really do much walking in natural beauty which is what I love best.

I also missed my extended family who were scattered all over the country but I knew there was no hope of seeing them more than 1-2 times a year. 

I got into manifestation in a big way during this time, and I was constantly just trying to manifest large sums of money because I thought that more money would make me happy and maybe buy us some more vacations abroad where the weather was nicer.

I felt powerless to control anything in my life.

My desires to be in a warmer climate near my extended family seemed impossible.

My husband was settled where we lived, and he had no desire to move anywhere. So it didn’t seem to matter how much extra money I made.

I’d been trying to convince him to move for 5 years, and he simply didn’t want to.

Another reason I thought it was impossible to get what I wanted is because I had no idea where I wanted to move to.

There was no location that I could think of that would satisfy my desires, so I felt like I couldn’t even manifest moving to a particular area when I couldn’t picture myself in a different location.

Then I came up with the idea of manifesting my perfect day.

I decided I would give it a go – what did I have to lose.

At the very least I would enjoy the process of writing out my perfect day, because it would give me some temporary relief from my misery.

So I sat down and I wrote out my perfect day in a notebook, and really enjoyed the process. 

I surprised myself when I was going through this exercise, because in my perfect day, I didn’t put a location where I was living. I realised that the exact location wasn’t all that important to me.

I only included things in my perfect day that actually meant something to me.

For example, my perfect day included living with my husband and kids in a warm climate right next to the beach.

In my perfect day we had a house overlooking the sea with stunning views. The house had a terrace where I could watch the sun rising and setting over the water. 

My perfect day included all of my extended family who lived nearby and we all had fun on the beach together.

I closed my notebook and never for one second believed that any of this would manifest.

I didn’t share my perfect day with anyone. I kept it completely private because it sounded ridiculous.

I couldn’t possibly have predicted what was going to happen next and how my life was going to transform before my very eyes.

You’ll never believe this…

Within 3 months, the ball started rolling in a BIG way…

My husband got a new job in a city in a different country with a warmer climate.

I was SO surprised that he even contemplated moving away. I’ve asked him many times why he suddenly got a new job and wanted to move location, and he doesn’t know why. He just felt compelled to do it.

Most of my extended family happened to already live in that very city.

As soon as I told my parents we were moving there, they decided to move to that city too.

That was also a massive shock as my parents had lived in the same location for 40 years and had always said they’d never move.

After we moved we found a rental house to live in which was just a few minutes walk from a gorgeous beach.

A year later we’d bought my dream house which was a house right next to the sea, with a terrace where I watch the sun rise and set, and is just a few minutes walk to the beach.

I see my extended family every weekend, and walk on the beach every single day with my husband.

And just like that my perfect day manifested.

It all happened automatically.

I was blown away by the power behind this simple exercise that I did, because it actually worked.

Better than any lump sum of money that I’ve ever manifested, I now have the desires of my heart.

Everything I always wanted has materialised.

We all think we want something specific like money, or a relationship, but until you sit down and write out your perfect day, you’re often not even aware of what it is that you actually DO want.

I’m so grateful every day that I wake up and come into my lounge and see the stunning views right from my window. I can see the sea right now from my desk, working on my dream business from home, living the life of my dreams.

The interesting thing about this whole process is that I really believe it has been the best thing for my whole family. I thought my family was settled where we were living and it felt a bit selfish to uproot everybody.

But the quality of our lives has gone through the roof since we’ve moved. We spend every weekend together having fun and have gone for walks on a daily basis on the beach.

We probably spent more quality time together in one year than we did in the first 8 years of my kids’ lives.

You might be sceptical to manifest your dream life as you might think it would negatively impact someone else, but this isn’t the case.

Whatever your desires are is always what’s right for the people in your life too.

Your desires were placed on your heart because you are supposed to have them – plain and simple.
