What To Do While You’re Waiting on Your Manifestation

[00:00:00] Jamie: Hi loves, I have a requested episode today. Um, this was an idea that was inspired by a client who asked the question, what do I do while I’m waiting on my manifestation to come to life, right? And I have the answer. So I thought I’d record an entire episode on it today. In fact, I have been doing, um, just lots of recording lately, batching episodes, just because I have a whole log of Things that I want to talk about and I want to record on and I just have this creative energy that’s coming through.

[00:00:40] Jamie: So I’ve been in recording mode and, um, on top of that, it’s also really great to batch your content. So that you can take a nice break. I love doing that. So I’ll probably be taking about a two week break where I’m just, I’m not, it’s not that [00:01:00] I’m not going to be working at all, but I just want to slow down.

[00:01:02] Jamie: Like I love the summer. I want to savor the summer. I want to slow down. I’m heading to Maui next week and I’m going to be spending the first little over a week there by myself, which is kind of fun. Cause, I just really like being alone, and I love being in Maui. Not that I don’t love being with my husband, but sometimes it’s good to miss each other.

[00:01:23] Jamie: Sometimes it’s good to have that stillness. So I’m gonna be retreating there by myself for a little over a week, doing a little bit of work that week, and then he’s gonna be joining me the next week, and we’re gonna take a vacation mode together. So, um, I’m excited for that. I’m gonna be renovating the kitchen.

[00:01:41] Jamie: Okay, wait, let me take that back. I am not going to be renovating it. I will be overseeing the people who are renovating our little kitchen in our condo. Um, and I’m excited to get the condo spruced up a little bit more. I feel like every time we go, I like to just, uh, give it a little, a little lift here and there and spruce [00:02:00] it up to make it really feel like us.

[00:02:03] Jamie: And so I’m heading out there. I’m excited. I’m excited for the summer. Um, are y’all feeling summer vibes? You enjoying the kind of like slow down season where you’re just savoring maybe family, friends, um, maybe a little more active, maybe a couple more vacations than you normally take. Um, I’m also going to Sweden.

[00:02:28] Jamie: in August. And I’m so excited about that. That is something that I just realized is happening. Um, my husband is a neoclassical composer and artist. Um, and he composed a new album and he is going to be recording a 16 piece orchestra with me. That album. Um, so we’re going to go to Sweden and do it. We’re actually going to be recording it at the Alba studio.

[00:02:56] Jamie: So I I’m excited. I’m like, I don’t know [00:03:00] what’s in Sweden. What should I do? You guys let me know. Um, cause I’m getting excited for it. So with that, I am batching a whole bunch of episodes that I just am so excited to get out to you and share with you. And for this week, what I wanted to talk about is. What to do when you’re waiting on your manifestation to come to life, right?

[00:03:25] Jamie: That between phase of, I intended it, I’m in the creation mode, I’m working on it, I’m working on my thoughts around it, I’m taking action towards it, but it’s not quite here yet, and I’m excited for it to get here, but what can I do so that I can, Stay out of scarcity, meaning staying out of it’s not here yet.

[00:03:48] Jamie: I am missing this thing, right? This thing is missing from my life and I need it or I want it, or it’s going to be so much better whenever I have it, where you actually feel like you’re kind of in lack because it’s [00:04:00] not here yet. We want to avoid doing that. Why? Because it just doesn’t feel that good. It’s not a very fun way to create, and it’s not the only way to create.

[00:04:11] Jamie: So when you notice yourself doing that, I want to give you some ideas and some things that you can do to put yourself into a different energy, to put yourself into a place of abundance and presence and savoring the now, right? Enjoying the now, enjoying the anticipation of it. So that. You are not waiting for that thing in order to feel better, right?

[00:04:36] Jamie: Or waiting on that thing in order to quote unquote live your life, right? Because that thing isn’t going to actually change that much, right? In your life, in terms of the way that you think. It doesn’t change your habits. It doesn’t really change your identity, right? This is all work that we have to do separate from that thing, separate from creating that thing, or work that we can do along the [00:05:00] way of creating that thing that makes all the difference so that whenever you do receive it, you can actually receive it.

[00:05:07] Jamie: You can receive the abundance and the goodness I see so many people manifesting, manifesting, manifesting, wanting to get that thing and then they get that thing and then it’s like they just completely overlook it. Oh, yeah, I have it now. Now what’s next? What’s next? What’s next? Right? And I think that’s just like the human condition, right?

[00:05:27] Jamie: When we don’t manage it, or when we don’t bring presence and intention to our human brain, it’ll do that, right? And it’s not a problem, right? But it’s helpful to recognize that that’s kind of the brain’s pattern. That’s what the brain will do. And we have an opportunity to slow it down, to slow ourselves down and enjoy the creation process so that we are always living in the dream that we once had, because I bet for many of you, the life that you have now is a [00:06:00] dream that you once had from the past.

[00:06:02] Jamie: Right? Past you probably dreamed of a lot of the things that you have created now. But are you really living that? Are you savoring it? Are you enjoying it? By hunches, maybe not, right? So we want to change that. We want to learn how to savor the dream that you already have. And, of course, getting excited about and anticipating what’s next, what you’re evolving into, what you’re creating, what you’re manifesting, right?

[00:06:32] Jamie: So that’s what this episode is all about. So here are a few things few different things that you can do while you’re waiting on your manifestation to come to life. And I want to say this because it doesn’t matter why you’re quote unquote waiting. I don’t even know if that’s the word that I like, but being in the moment now without the manifestation having occurred yet, but knowing that it’s on its way, [00:07:00] So whether that’s like you have a something that’s coming up that, you know, the timeline of it, right, where you’re like my manifestation, it’s gonna, the opportunity for it to occur is going to be in October, right?

[00:07:13] Jamie: You know, that there’s a date for it, whether it’s like, there’s a vacation planned, or maybe you have a launch coming up or whatever it is, right? Um, I have, I know someone who’s like having her baby then. Right? And so you have a date where, you know, it’s happening, right? So you. Have time between now and then.

[00:07:32] Jamie: And what do we do in that time? Or it also could be the case where there isn’t a timeline to your manifestation, right? It’s something that you’ve intended and you’re holding space for and you are, um, ready for, you’re ready to receive, but it’s not here yet. Or maybe it’s something where you’ve set a timeline and it’s past that timeline and maybe it’s way past that timeline.

[00:07:54] Jamie: I know I’ve had that happen where I’ve set an intention for when I wanted to manifest something and it [00:08:00] just didn’t happen in that timeline. So I had to really hold space. space for, I’m just going to keep going. I’m going to create this thing, even if it takes me the rest of my life, because I am committed to my dreams and I fight for my dreams and I don’t give up on them just because they don’t manifest in a certain timeline, right?

[00:08:17] Jamie: Some things take shorter than we think. Some things take longer. Some things are right on time, right? But all of it is in divine timing. And in hindsight, we always realize why it was. But when we’re in it, sometimes, you know, our brains can get a little impatient. So let’s talk about how to work with that impatience and what we can do to practice.

[00:08:40] Jamie: savoring this moment. So the first thing that I would recommend doing is enjoying the anticipation of what you are manifesting. Honestly, anticipation is one of the most Um, and I think it’s one of the most fun energies ever, right? [00:09:00] Think about whenever you were a kid and you were anticipating a holiday.

[00:09:04] Jamie: Like for me, I celebrated Christmas growing up. So I just remember all of December, it was so fun. We would get those, um, calendars that had the 24 little chocolates that you open the door every day and you get a chocolate out. And we also had this little thing that would hang on the door and it was like this, um, it had the 24 days until Christmas and every day you would move.

[00:09:26] Jamie: There was like a little mouse. thingy, you would move it over to the next day. And I remember waking up and I loved moving it every day and seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Christmas. And I loved the anticipation of it. It got me so excited, right? I’m even thinking about that now with this trip to Sweden that we’re taking and I’m like, this is so fun.

[00:09:46] Jamie: I know that it’s not coming until August, but I’m so excited to kind of research and see like, what is there to do in Sweden and talk to people about it and come up with ideas of What we want to experience and talk to my husband about the orchestra and what that’s going [00:10:00] to be like, and what it’s going to be like going with him and seeing that experience.

[00:10:04] Jamie: I can’t wait for it. So the anticipation really is. just as much fun as the trip’s gonna be. Oftentimes with traveling, I realized sometimes the anticipation is even better than the actual traveling because you get to dream about it. You get to pick the restaurant you’re going to go to, think about it for months and months and months.

[00:10:23] Jamie: And then sometimes whenever you get in it, it’s like, Oh my gosh, I have jet lag. And our flight was delayed and this happened. And they lost my luggage. Not that all this happens at once, but sometimes traveling, it is a 50 50. Life experience. It is both challenging and super fun. And so life is the same way.

[00:10:43] Jamie: And the creation process is really the same way. So can you savor the time now where you get to anticipate what’s coming, right? And in this anticipation, what you can do is really dream about [00:11:00] it. Get specific about what it is that you’re excited to experience. Experience about this thing? Think about the details, right?

[00:11:07] Jamie: Get ready for it. How can you get ready and prepare yourself for it? Um,

[00:11:20] Jamie: so for example, if you are manifesting more clients, how can you get ready for them? How can you get your business ready? How can you, um, maybe you carve out the time that you’re gonna have for them, or if you’re manifesting a certain number or money. Create a bucket list of like some of the things you want to experience with that money or what you might want to do with it.

[00:11:41] Jamie: Like let yourself keep adding to that bucket list, stay in desire, stay in the excitement of it. And along the way, maybe you say, how can I start checking off some of these things, right? This bucket list of things that I want to experience with the money that I create, maybe little by little, you start doing that [00:12:00] now, but it makes the process so much easier.

[00:12:03] Jamie: It’s so much more fun when you’re manifesting, but you’re anticipating the excitement of it and the details and getting crystal clear on what you want and what you want the experience to be. And what I find is the more that I do that, the more that experience actually aligns. with what it is I have like intended, right?

[00:12:25] Jamie: Versus if I just say, Oh, I just want to, you know, whatever it is, let’s say you’re manifesting money. I just want to make a 10 K month. Then you make a 10 K month, but there’s no real experience of it. When you can think it through ahead of time and think, well, this is what I want to do with it. This is why I want it.

[00:12:42] Jamie: This is how I’m going to take it in. This is how I’m going to celebrate it. The chances of you actually savoring it once it happens. Go up so much more when you think about all the details ahead of time and you get Excited about it. I swear the excitement is [00:13:00] just as much fun as actually creating the thing.

[00:13:03] Jamie: It is amazing. So enjoy the anticipation. And that’s one way of thinking in abundance versus thinking in lack versus thinking, Oh, I don’t have this thing now. Right? Like, Oh, it would be so much better if I had it. Once I have it, then I can enjoy myself once, blah, blah, blah. Right. We don’t want to get in that energy.

[00:13:22] Jamie: So we can shift into anticipation, get yourself excited, create a vision board, think about the details, right? I’m actually thinking about, so by the time this episode comes out, this won’t, um, this’ll already be out, but right now we’re in early June and I am. Just watched part one of Bridgerton. Well, I watched it right whenever it dropped, but it was like two weeks ago, right?

[00:13:48] Jamie: I watched part one of season three of Bridgerton, which I am obsessed with. That show is everything. I love love. I love, um, [00:14:00] costumes. I love the music, right? It’s like everything Jamie loves in a show. I love it. I’m obsessed. So I watched season or the part one of season three with Colin and Penelope and I loved it so much and they broke it into two parts and so they made us wait a month to watch part two.

[00:14:23] Jamie: I’m so glad they did that because if they didn’t, I would have binged the whole thing in one go. I would not have savored it because I wouldn’t have been able to stop. Stop myself, and I am so glad because now I have been anticipating this. I literally have it on my calendar. I cannot wait. I have a Bridger Tin part two party with me, myself and Josh , and I’m so excited, so I’m so glad they did that.

[00:14:50] Jamie: I’m so glad it wasn’t all at once because now I really get to savor it. In fact, I watched. See, I watched part one of season three twice now, [00:15:00] and I really got to take it in. I would have never done that if they dropped it all at once. So anyways, you can see anticipation is so fun. It’s so good to let yourself be in the anticipation.

[00:15:14] Jamie: Another thing that I’m manifesting is a new home. Josh and I and Millie, my little family, we’re going to be moving next year. That is the intention. And instead of being like, Oh, we just need to move now. Or, you know, feeling like, why isn’t it happening faster? What we’re doing is we’re just spending time enjoying looking at homes through zillow, right?

[00:15:38] Jamie: We’re getting clear on what are the some of the things that we really want for this next home What are the some of the things we don’t really care for or maybe don’t want in the home? Um, what is the price point that we want to be in and We’re looking at different details, different areas. We’re sending each other listings on Zillow.

[00:15:55] Jamie: That’s kind of like whenever we take a break from work, we’re just kind of sending different [00:16:00] ideas. What do you think of this? And what do you think of that? And the anticipation of it is so much fun. I’m really savoring that, right? And you can do the same with your business. Really think about what it’s going to be like whenever you have that and what you’re most excited about and really carve out.

[00:16:20] Jamie: What you want your feelings to be once you’re there, right? What do you want your experience to be? How do you want to take it in? How can you be present with it once you’re there? Like thinking about the details helps you cultivate that ahead of time, which again makes it way more likely that that’s what the experience will be like.

[00:16:41] Jamie: So if you are waiting on your manifestation and holding off and being patient, Enjoy the anticipation, right? So ask yourself that. How can I enjoy the anticipation a little bit more? My second recommendation [00:17:00] of what to do when you are waiting on your manifest, manifestation to manifest, is to enjoy the anticipation.

[00:17:07] Jamie: Enjoy now. Like really enjoy now. This is so important. In fact, in the money manifestation movement where I teach manifestation, we have foundational videos and I have a couple of foundation videos and one of them is enjoy the journey. It’s so important because if you can’t enjoy now, you will not be able to enjoy your manifestation.

[00:17:37] Jamie: You will not be able to enjoy yourself when that thing has manifested. Because circumstances cannot create experiences. Circumstances cannot create thoughts or habits or identities, like I was saying earlier in this episode. And if you don’t learn how to enjoy yourself, you’re not going to know how to enjoy yourself.

[00:17:57] Jamie: It is a totally different thing that [00:18:00] is separate from things, right? And life, no matter what you have, is always going to be a combination of

[00:18:17] Jamie: a combination of beauty and challenges. That’s the human experience. That’s human life, right? My coach, one of my mentors, Brooke Castillo had, uses this idea. Let me say that one more time.

[00:18:32] Jamie: When I got trained as a coach, I learned that life is 50, 50, right? A combination of again, beauty and challenges, a combination of positivity and negativity, a combination of highs and lows of Obstacles and overcoming obstacles, right? Like it’s light and dark. There is contrast in the human experience and that’s going to [00:19:00] be no matter what.

[00:19:01] Jamie: So that’s going to be no matter if you have the life of your dreams and have manifested all the things, your human experience is still going to be a combination of it all, because that is the human experience. Right? And so, so many of us have this illusion that once we get there, once we get that thing, once we learn to make the money and are bringing in this amount of money, we are going to have a different experience.

[00:19:30] Jamie: And I just want to offer you that that thing is not going to bring you a different experience. The only thing that can bring you a different experience is It’s you. It’s you learning how to change your perspective, change the lens, shift, and really focus on what is the 50 percent of life right now that I want to savor, and I want to experience, and what is the challenge that I want to maybe work on, or, um, heal, [00:20:00] or just hold space for.

[00:20:02] Jamie: Right? Because we’re always going to have that. So if you don’t enjoy to, if, sorry, let me say that one more time. So if you don’t learn to enjoy now, right now, you won’t know how to do it there. So this is one of the best things you can possibly do while you are waiting on your manifestation is how can you savor the goodness

[00:20:28] Jamie: You can ask yourself, what are the things that I’m going to look back and at and say, God, those were the good old days that you’re talking about right now, right? Can you savor the little micro moments? And I think the micro moments are what make up the beauty of life. So, for example, even today, I was thinking about this for me, and what have I savored today?

[00:20:54] Jamie: And. It I hit my three o’clock slump. Sometimes I hit three o’clock and i’m like, uh, [00:21:00] I have you know Things still to do with work and I have a to do list here, but my gosh i’m tired Like the energy is not there. So I just decided okay. I’m gonna go grab a glass of water i’m gonna grab a little piece of fruit and just go sit outside in the sun for a second and Just reset and I did a little meditation and um, Millie my little dog She’s my little multi poo was kind of pawing at the door.

[00:21:23] Jamie: Like hey, I want to come out with you She loves the Sun. So I put her on her leash brought her out and we were just sitting out there By the pool and just savoring the Sun sitting out there and it was so cute. She loves it so much She just sits there She’s in the sun and her little nose just like moves back and forth and she looks up but her eyes are closed and it’s just this like bliss experience that I see in her and I was really like savoring it.

[00:21:52] Jamie: I’m like, ah, yeah, this is the moment that matters, right? These are the little moments that we want to take [00:22:00] in and slow down and be present for. And these are the kind of moments that you’re going to have. Now and I’m going to have once you’ve manifested more things, right? So how can you savor these moments?

[00:22:13] Jamie: And again, it’s like, what are you going to miss about the life that you have now in the future? And can you take that in? Can you actually enjoy it? So this is a practice and it is something that you are just going to want to bring intention to, because I don’t know if, at least for me. It’s not totally natural for me, right?

[00:22:37] Jamie: Like what’s natural for me is just let’s do what’s on the to do list and like kind of just going through the motions and not really slowing down. So I really have to bring a lot of intention to Savor the, those precious moments of the day that are small, but they’re important and there’s something you want to savor.

[00:22:56] Jamie: So that’s what I would say. Also, how [00:23:00] can you bring some joy into your business? How can you make it more fun? How can you make it more you? How can you Bring more enjoyment into the creation process. I think that’s really important And i’ve heard from so many people who have created Such success, right?

[00:23:22] Jamie: They’ve created some of what we would call impossible, right? I love studying quote unquote, successful people or people who overcome big things or, um, right. Like have a big dream and fulfill it. And I’m always watching documentaries on that. I’m reading books about it. And one of the things that I commonly hear is that it’s in the creation process of it, that.

[00:23:48] Jamie: We actually have the most joy and the most fulfillment once you already have it like maintaining it isn’t that much fun It’s kind of just boring. It’s kind of just what is And usually what [00:24:00] happens is we’re kind of by the time we get there and it’s normal. We’re bored, right? We’re human beings who are meant to create and evolve.

[00:24:07] Jamie: So we’re thinking about what’s next anyways, so We’ll come up with another thing to create so it You might be helpful to learn how to enjoy the creation process and not always be in a rush to get the next thing or not, not always feel like it’s not enough now, right? My life isn’t enough now. I need that thing to be successful or worthy or think better of myself or to enjoy my life.

[00:24:36] Jamie: Like, that’s what That’s the biggest lie that’s going to keep you from living your life and feeling alive and present and savoring this one precious life. So that’s number two in terms of my recommendations of what to do while you are waiting on your manifestation is to enjoy now, enjoy what you’ve already manifested.[00:25:00] 

[00:25:00] Jamie: Again, you’re probably living. A dream that you once had. So can you take that in? Can you enjoy it? Can you realize that? It’s huge. Okay, number three of what you can do while you’re waiting on your manifestation is to learn, to grow, to expand, which is, I honestly think the reason that we are given desires.

[00:25:29] Jamie: as human. I think we are don’t know about you, but feel like they were just me. It’s not like I chose Felt like soul callings are things that I really wanted to experience and I can’t explain why it’s not the same as my siblings It’s not the same as my family. It’s not the same as my best friends even right?

[00:25:55] Jamie: We all have unique desires and it’s because our [00:26:00] desires are meant to expand us And when we go after our desires, it really does force us to grow If we’re willing to keep going after them, right, there is growth and evolution and expansion involved with manifesting something with manifesting a new reality or bringing something into your life.

[00:26:26] Jamie: Like, there is so much opportunity for evolution there. So that is something that you can do is focus on like, Ooh, how can I grow through this? What is it that is being presented as my next opportunity for learning or what is being presented as my opportunity to let go of, right? If you go after your dreams, you will expand in such a massive way.

[00:26:55] Jamie: And that’s why I say that’s really the purpose. That’s why we set these audacious, [00:27:00] amazing, big goals that are our soulful desires. Because it’s helping us grow and expand and become the next version of ourselves. And it gives our brain something to focus on because our brain likes to expand our brain likes the challenge We don’t like being bored.

[00:27:17] Jamie: We’re bored. It’ll find problems, but they’ll be like dumb problems When I say dumb problems just things that aren’t getting us anywhere, right? So I’m like might as well I’m going to put my brain to work and let the challenge be something that I want to evolve into or something that I want to manifest and how can I grow through that journey.

[00:27:38] Jamie: So those are the three things that I recommend as you are being patient and holding space and growing into your manifestation. Again, I’ll go through them. Enjoy the anticipation and savor the anticipation number two [00:28:00] enjoy now find joy in your life now as you are creating and learn to enjoy the creative process the You know the process of creating something new.

[00:28:13] Jamie: How can you? Enjoy that process, right? That’s such a good question to, and to like, sorry, let me say that one more time. That’s such a fun thing to reflect on and think about and meditate on. Um, so good. And so, no, I don’t like that. Sorry.

[00:28:42] Jamie: That’s such a good thing to meditate on and really just reflect on and think about. Um, number three, learn, grow, expand, evolve, let this desire, let this manifestation catapult your growth. [00:29:00] It’ll be amazing. Hope this was helpful and I am excited for you as you’re on this journey of creating your next manifestation.
