You Are the Wish Your Past Self Made

Remember when you dreamed of the life you have now?

There are so so many things in our lives today that were once wishes, visions, or hopes. Whether it’s our job, our relationships, our communities, even our confidence – we’ve manifested so much more than we realize.

Here’s the thing, our brains are wired to normalize our wins. We get the things we once hoped for, and then immediately shift to the next goal, forgetting how magical our progress has been.

This is especially true for the small wins – the ones we overlook but shouldn’t. Every little moment counts. The new subscriber, the dream you actually remembered, the overdue apology you finally received. These small victories are proof that things are always shifting in your favor. And when you start celebrating them, you attract even more.

Here’s what we can do to remember (and enhance) your magic:
1. Write down 5 things you once dreamed of that are now part of your reality.
2. Take a moment to truly feel the gratitude for them. Let it sink in – think about how happy your past self would be of you now.
3. If you want to take it further, write a quick thank-you note (or speak it out loud) to the Universe, your past self, or whatever energy made it happen.

The Science Behind It

This practice isn’t just a woo woo concept, it’s backed by neuroscience. Your brain has a built-in “negativity bias,” meaning it naturally focuses on what’s missing, what’s negative, or what’s next, rather than celebrating what’s already been achieved. But when you take time to recognize past manifestations, you rewire your brain for abundance and make it easier to attract even more.

By remembering what you’ve already manifested, you reinforce your power to manifest even more! YAY! Recognizing how far you’ve come shifts your perspective from “Once I am/have/do this…” to “Look at everything I’ve already created!” Pure magic. 🙂

On a Personal Note…

There has been sooooo much going on the past few weeks; it’s been a rollercoaster, that’s for sure! We had several days in the hospital for my step-dad, and we were facing difficult choices – but then we were given hope by a doctor and that changed everything (it’s amazing how powerful a little hope is!!). Not only is he back home from the hospital, but the sun is shining and birds are singing – it feels like a whole new world! Our neighborhood has even organized a ‘meal train’ and I don’t think I can express enough how powerful that is for our spirits! Beyond grateful.

I’ve also been so excited and honored to host a couple of dream circles and talk all about dreams with magical people. Incredible synchronicities have been occurring and despite the craziness of everything, I’m feeling incredibly grounded and motivated. Always find the silver lining – it’s always there.

It reminds me of when I was spending so much time at the hospital. It’s a heavy energy there and there is a lot going on – I have so much respect for anyone in the medical field. Wow. But there were some moments that were extremely heavy and I’ll never forget when we were in a heavy moment and then I heard a soft chime over the PA. I asked my Mom what that was, and she said, “It means a baby was just born.” It immediately made me tear up – there is still so much good happening. No matter what, miracles are all around us. Keep listening for those chimes! ✨

Love to you,
