ABOUT me
Hello Beautiful!
My name is Connie. I am a transformation coach + writer. Green juice addict + yoga lover. Seeker + optimist. Motivator + inspirer. Spiritual rockstar.
This book was created as a result of the journey I have taken in my own life. Everything you will read in here has been tried, tested + applied by me.
I believe that there is nothing more fullling than seeing your dreams become a reality. We are born to desire. We are born to achieve whatever our hearts yearn for.
Which is why there is no greater pain than wishing, wanting + trying to make your dreams come true and being unable to do so. It hurts + it sucks.
Do you have dreams you don t know how to fulll? Do you have desires that you can t seem to make progress towards? Wherever you are at sista, I can relate.
ABOUT me
A few years ago, I was totally + utterly stuck. I was living a life full of disempowerment and dissatisfaction. I felt sad, lonely and empty. Negative stories played on repeat in my mind. I knew there was SO much more out there for me, but I had no idea how to get there.
Fast forward to now, and I am quite literally living my dream life.
The changes I have experienced, both in my self and my life have blown me away. It is as a result of the commitment I made to doing the work that I am now where I am today.
In 2012, I made a massive leap to turn my dreams in to a reality. I quit my day job, moved in to my own apartment and dived head rst in to creating a full time career as a transformation coach + writer. And I have loved every minute of it. My life is miraculous. It is lled with love. I am the happiest I have ever been.
Wherever you are at right now, I want you to know that everything you desire + more is possible for you. And I am here to help you remember that.
So, are you ready?
Awesome! Let s get started
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

12 steps
Now, this might seem like a strange rst step for a book about manifesting your dreams! However, not loving and accepting your self is the single biggest thing I see hindering people from living the life they desire.
As you move bravely and boldly towards your dreams, there will be plenty of opportunities for your inner critic to step in and tear you down. In those moments where you make mistakes or don t get the results you want, your inner critic will tell you all the reasons why you are not good enough, and why you should just give up now. You can let that inner critic beat you up OR you can choose to instead become your own cheerleader. The one who tells you that you can do it and that you are good enough. You must start learning to encourage yourself like you would your best friend.
1. Love yourself like you were the most divinely beautiful + perfect creature on the planet "
Without self-love, you will not be able to support yourself through the challenges, believe in yourself or cheer yourself to success.
{Start acting this way now: speak to yourself that way, act that way and feel that way}

The truth is, darling, that you cannot be the happy, abundant and deeply fulfilled person you want to be, unless you are doing what it is that your heart desires.
So, if there is even an inch of you that feels there may be something more for you than where you are now, it is time to get honest.
So, what is it that your heart wants? Who do you want to be? What do you want to be known
for? What do you love so much, that you want to dedicate your life to it?
I believe on some level you already know the answer. But perhaps there is something blocking your access to it.
Your fears, the stories of why you can t do it, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the limiting beliefs all of this blocks your ability to hear what your heart wants.
So, in order to hear your heart, you have to get quiet and turn inwards. Suspend fear. Pretend there are no limits. No risk of failure. Nothing to lose.
Sweet pea, get quiet. Sit down with a journal, light a candle, take some deep breaths and relax. Then connect with your heart, and see what comes up. Be totally real with yourself. Pay attention to those thoughts and ideas that feel good. That feel like excitement, possibility, passion, inspiration and aliveness. This is how your heart talks to you. Tune inwards and ask what does my heart want? Write your answers here:
11
Instead, focus on where you are right now and what you can do in this moment.
What is one step you can take right now, that would take you that one bit closer to your dreams?
Write it here:
The achievement of your dreams does not happen overnight and it denitely does not happen in one fell swoop. It is the culmination of months and sometimes years of work. It is the result of little baby steps taken each day that add up over time. So, let s break it down baby!

The trick, however, is that initially you may not be able to see the connection between your intention + the opportunity.
So, you just have to start saying yes, even if you cannot see the connection.
16
It is your intuition.
Your intuition or inner voice is that soft, loving + quiet voice that whispers sweet + supportive guidance to you
It often comes to you in the form of a feeling. A sense of knowing. A pull in a certain direction. Or a gut instinct.
The guidance of our inner voice lacks reason or logic and so it is often dismissed by your mind. The art of tapping in to your intuition lies in your ability be get quiet, suspend judgment, and listen carefully. It is in the space between thoughts and in our moments of stillness that it is able to speak to us the clearest. That voice is always there, it is just up to us to create the room to hear it.
It requires practice and patience.

We are like magnets. When we give off a negative, low level or lacklustre type of energy, we will attract negative, low
level, lacklustre experiences. However, when we give off positive, happy and abundant energy, we will attract positive, happy and abundant people, events and experiences in to our life.
PLUS the more that we think about something and give it our attention + energy + focus = the more likely we are to draw it into our lives.
The key to bringing yourself to a new place, is to see yourself differently from the way you are. It is necessary to focus on the person you are becoming. You cannot create a new reality, while looking at your current reality.

What you will discover is that you want these things because you think that by having them, you will FEEL a certain way.
If that is the case, why wait for the manifestation of your desire until you feel the way you want to feel? Why keep yourself feeling dissatised and unhappy? Why put your happiness on hold?
21
content, light, blissful, loving, passionate, empowered, Eg: I want to feel free, happy, courageous, fullled, successful, inspired, peaceful, creative, strong etc... Write your words here:
1. How do I want to feel?
22
you have got, and not loving yourself until you change, are Beware! Resenting where you are, being unhappy with what
surere ways to halt the manifestation of your dreams in their tracks.
However, the quickest way to get to where you want to be, is to rst love + appreciate where you are now and what you already have.
Sometimes, when we are working towards something new + exciting, it causes us to feel super pumped about where we are going, but also kind of bummed about where we are now.
Here is why:
When you love and appreciate where you are and what you have now, you draw more things into your life to love and appreciate. When you resent and complain about where you are and what you have, you draw more things in to your life to resent and complain about.
So, if you are wanting to attract and manifest some new beautiful and fullling results that will create oodles of joy and happiness, you must see what is beautiful and fullling about what you already have. You must notice all the amazing things that are already creating oodles of joy in your life.
We get what we focus on. We attract people, events, circumstances and things that are a match to the energy we are giving off. Take responsibility for how you are feeling now. Because what you are feeling is what you are creating.

What is currently making you happy?
What do you appreciate about what you have in your life right now?

Feeling the need to PUSH your desire and MAKE it unfold how you think it is supposed to comes
from an energy of fear, doubt and lack of belief.
But when you can just relax a little, and let go, and allow things to unfold as they are supposed to, you are giving off a completely different energy. Instead, you have complete faith, you totally believe that your desire is on its way and you know that everything is unfolding exactly as it is meant too.
You are relaxed, expectant + trusting You believe that what you desire is done, even before you see the physical evidence of it You trust that it is all coming together perfectly, even if there is a part of you that cannot see HOW exactly You continue to tune in to your inner guidance for direction about what you should do, rather than using your head
So loosen your grip, let go and detach a little. You do not have to think about your dream 24/7. Just know it is on its way to you. Keep tuning inwards and hearing your guidance. Keep taking inspired action steps. Keep feeling really good about it. And know it is coming. This is how you manifest.
25
So this is why surrounding yourself with a like-minded and supportive community is so important.
When you start to connect with like-minded people, you realise you are not alone. Not only is this very comforting in itself, but you become surrounded by people who believe in you, who want to see you succeed and who are on a similar path. You attract teachers and guides who can lead you.
Get online:
Google topics that interest you and nd blogs written by like-minded people. Follow them on facebook. Connect with them on twitter. Watch their youtube videos. Surround yourself with peeps who are rocking a similar message.
Hire a coach:
You not only need people around you who are like-minded, but you need role models and mentors to lead the way and guide you forward. Hiring a coach is a sure way to get the support you need to propel yourself forward. Send me an email to nd out more.
Get out + about: Attend workshops, talks and events where the peeps you want to hang out with hang.
Spark up conversation + make new friends. Network, socialise + share your passion with others.
26
Have you been 'thinking' about doing something for a really long time? And 6 months later it is still just a thought in your head? Perhaps that is why it is still a dream and not a reality.
Many people avoid making decisions because they are trying
to gure out which one is the right one. So they think and
think about all of their options and never actually decide.
So make it now.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!
