How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

Affirmations are an incredible way to cultivate a positive narrative and begin to see your situation through a whole new lens. They can take you from operating on a low-energy vibration to one of empowerment.


They can also help you break down your limited beliefs and build a new, positive self-identity. The best thing about affirmations is that you can create them according to your own personal situation. You can design affirmations that align with the life you are on the path of creating, and the more you say these out loud, the more your neural pathways will begin to rewire and gradually, they become your new reality.


I love affirmations and have many that I use for my health, relationships, finances, and business. I’ve also used them for years to release buried emotions and beliefs from my physical body and nervous system, and they can be a profound way to create an entirely new narrative for yourself. 


Speak it Out Loud and Feel the Shift


Like many of the tools I recommend, affirmations are most powerful when repeated. This is because when you speak them out loud and pause to really allow the vibration of those words to land within your body and mind, it can show when your energetic system and limbic system in your physical body aren’t in alignment with what you’re trying to say. 


Many people are dismissive of affirmations and while I understand that not all the practices I recommend and share are for everyone, affirmations take time and have to be worked with. They can be used as a guide to better understand where your physical body and heart aren’t connecting. 


Like everything, it’s a process.


Let’s take an example; if you use an affirmation such as ‘I deserve the best’, but after saying that out loud to yourself and really tuning into the vibration of the statement, you might feel like it doesn’t sit right in your body. You feel your nervous system contract and it just doesn’t quite feel authentic.


This is because, on a subconscious level, your thoughts, actions, and patterns have been in conflict with the affirmation of ‘I deserve the best’. You might have found yourself in toxic relationships, in a cycle of debt, or constantly giving to others and neglecting your own needs. 


The way that affirmation feels when you begin to say it out loud is simply a sign that you’re disconnected from your body and what you want to create. So, you need to put the vibration out there and this comes with repetition! Each time you repeat the affirmation, it triggers something different. It gradually releases what needs to be moved and released and will begin to feel more aligned and authentic.


And because these new neural pathways are being rewired, your
actions and behaviors will then begin to mirror the affirmation. You might begin to set new boundaries, take action on your financial situation and really begin to go after that life of Real Wealth you want to create!


If the emotional cause when you begin using your affirmations is anxiety and fear, this is an old, stagnant emotion that needs releasing. By verbalizing what you want to create and repeating this, you're allowing the clamps to be released. 


After all, words are energy in motion! Feel them to shift them and come through to the other side! 


Some Affirmations You Can Try 


As I always like to offer practical tools here in these articles, I’d love to give you some inspiration for affirmations that you can use. Of course, feel free to tweak them as you wish!


I encourage you to repeat them 7 times when you wake up and before you go to sleep, but there’s no limitation on these! You can also do them more throughout the day. 


I lovingly protect myself with thoughts of joy and peace. 


The past is forgiven and forgotten. 


I am free in this moment. 


I am financially independent.


I am worthy of receiving all good things.


I am a money magnet.


I shall have the best life has to offer!


I am to obtain the best.


I
deserve the best.


I am. 


I share my feelings and my love and respond to love in everyone.


I am calling financial freedom into my life.


I stand ready for my soulmate to come into my life. 


Rewire your Limbic System


Yes, it’s time to rewire that limbic system of yours!


These affirmation examples encompass your whole world and are communicating to your limbic system ‘Right now, you’re vibrating in the wrong direction and I need you to vibrate on this new level. Let’s go in a different direction!’


The more you repeat these affirmations and release the emotions they trigger, your cells on a physiological level begin to change. 


Love yourself enough and I assure you, you
will feel the shift!


My New Online Group Coaching Course IMPACT


On the note of creating shifts, since last year, I’ve been busy behind the scenes putting together something for you that I’m now ready (and thrilled!) to share…..


Get ready for
IMPACT and become a money and heart-aligned mastermind!


Starting on Tuesday,
April 18th, my new online group coaching course IMPACT unites the most effective and cutting-edge teachings and techniques that I’ve been crafting for over 25 years as a highly successful Financial Planner and Life Coach. 


I’d love to invite you to be a part of that!


Over 6 weeks, you’ll meet with me and other like-minded individuals (the group is limited to just 22 spots) and I’m going to not only help you finally identify
exactly what you want to create in all areas of your life, but I’m going to show you how to get there step-by-step.


IMPACT will see you: 


  • Learn how to boost and manage your cash flows from a place of expansion - not restriction
  • Find ways to effectively communicate your authentic needs and get them met
  • Create new empowering agreements with your work, money, relationships, and yourself
  • Engage in and learn powerful, interactive exercises to expand your consciousness and vision of what's possible
  • Become a money, love, success, and opportunity magnet
  • Create space to allow expansion and attract new opportunities you never thought possible
  • Curb emotional spending and self-destructive patterns that prevent Real Wealth
  • Finally find, follow, and fund your passions with freedom!
  • Awaken your own authenticity and let your freak flag fly!


This is really just the tip of the iceberg and the course will also be full of exercises and assignments. Now, I do want to say that isn’t the type of course that is passive and where you just dip in and out. It’s one where we all get really stuck in and I’ll be keeping you accountable on all assignments. 


This is because it’s the implementation of what you’re learning that will shift the energy and get you to the life of Real Wealth you deserve! 


And rest assured, the space held is safe, brimming with kindness, support, and compassion - and we will have a whole lot of fun in the process! You’ll soon see, I’m ALL about unleashing your giggle (which I’ll be covering much more about within IMPACT!)


The course begins on Tuesday, April 18th and if you
sign up now, you’ll receive 50% off the price. There are only 22 spots available so if you feel called to take this step, I encourage you to do so before the spaces go. 


So, if you’re ready to rediscover your heart’s purpose, feel joy and freedom around your finances and understand what it takes to become a master manifester, you can sign up for IMPACT
here


I deeply look forward to seeing you there!

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
