3 Easy Ways You Can Start Manifesting Your Dream Job
#1 VISUALIZE WHAT YOU WANT
Often, people will tell you to visualize your new job, receiving the offer, your daily experience at the company, etc. The problem with this approach? You’re not really after the job. You’re after something deeper than that. You’re after the life the job will give you.
The job is just a small part of your dream life. So when you visualize, envision the dream life this job will allow you to live.
Let’s put this into practice. Find a private place where you can get comfortable and tune into yourself. When you’re ready, close your eyes and begin to see your dream life in your mind. Use the questions below to help guide you.
➤ What does your daily life look like?
➤ How do you feel throughout the day?
➤ Do you feel energized?
➤ Do you feel excited when you wake up in the morning?
➤ Do you get to spend more time with your loved ones?
➤ Do you have a more flexible lifestyle?
➤ Do you get to have more money for vacations?
➤ Do you have more time for other passions?
Once you have this pictured, take 5 minutes a day to visualize yourself in the life you want to create.
#2 IDENTIFY WHO YOU WANT TO BE
Consider your relationship to the job search right now. You may be struggling in the job search, not getting the responses you hope for, or not making it past the first couple interviews…
You see other people posting about landing a new job or getting a 6-figure salary on LinkedIn and wonder, “Why is it easy for them and hard for me? What am I doing wrong?”
Here’s the answer, right now you identify as someone who struggles in the job search. You believe that landing your dream job is hard. And why wouldn’t you? That’s mostly likely been your experience every time you’ve had to get a new job. But when you identify as someone who struggles, then that becomes your reality.
What if you stopped identifying in how difficult the process is, and instead started identifying in success? What if you believed you could easily get a job and knew that it was going to happen no matter what?
To start changing your reality, you need to change your identity to the person who always gets what they want, who knows that 6-figure salary is coming their way, and will work at a top company with the most amazing benefits that suits their lifestyle.
Here’s how to do this. Take some time to write down the identity of the person who has everything you want and works in your dream position. What job do they have? What’s their mindset when it comes to the job hunt? What’s their mindset when it comes to money?
This is the first step in becoming an unstoppable force who sees rejections as opportunities and knows a “yes” is coming regardless of how many “no’s” they experience along the way.
#3 ACT AS IF
So — you’ve identified all the things you want, and the identity you want to step into. Now it’s time to embody it by “acting as if.”
“Acting as if” is a powerful manifestation technique. The idea is to act as if you’ve already gotten everything you hope for and as you do, you’ll bring your manifestations to your reality faster because you’re aligning with the person you want to be.
Here’s how to get started. You’ve already started exploring the identity. Let’s dive into the habits of the person you want to become.
Consider the following questions for yourself:
➤ What does the person you want to identify as DO?
➤ What are their daily habits and routines?
➤ How do they take care of themselves?
➤ What does their confidence look like?
➤ What are they watching, listening to, and reading to uplevel themselves?
➤ What does their job search strategy look like?
➤ How do they respond when they get a rejection?
➤ What would they do to create a strong network that gives them referrals?
➤ Would they always negotiate a salary after receiving an offer? (Of course they would 😉)
➤ Are they applying to specific roles with intention, or mass applying to every opportunity? (Hint — they know that whether they apply to 5 jobs or 15, they’ll still hear a callback.)
Now that you’ve identified those habits and mindsets, start living them!
Consider small daily actions you can take to align with this identity and start living that life.
For instance, the mindset I always had whenever I applied for a job was, “the company’s going to call me back.” Even if they ultimately rejected me, I always believed I had it in the bag from the beginning.
Once you begin putting these practices into action every day, you’ll start seeing a massive shift in your energy, vibration, and results.
Applying to jobs, networking, interviewing, getting callbacks and landing your dream job — now, and anytime you want a new job in the future — becomes infinitely easier with manifestation. I’ve found it to be a life-changing tool for myself and my clients, and I know you will too!
