Just want to briefly share what I learned from the virtual retreat I did on Friday & Saturday.

The retreat was hosted by Suzanne Khan of Naked Zero and Nat from Shamana Circle in Bermuda.

There were lots of different ‘activities’ such as learning to cook plant based meals, make mocktails, HIIT, meditation and yoga classes, starting and/or growing a business during this time. But the one that stuck out to ME the most was the manifestation journaling.

We started out with a quick meditation to help us feel the energy before we started to write. Sue had us focus our energy on our palms and for me, they started to feel warm. This got our hands ready to write down all of the things we would like to manifest!

She had us think about exactly what we wanted and write it down in great detail. As if we already had it. (Eg. If you want 1 million dollars write down, “I have just received 1 million dollars”)

This may sound way too out of reach for you at the moment. If you feel like it is, then write down something smaller such as, “I have just received $100,000” and if this seems like too much right now. Make the number smaller.

The reason for this is because if you don’t 100% in your mind and body that this is unachievable at this moment, the universe (or what/whoever you believe in) won’t be able to give it to you.

Once you have everything you’d like to manifest into your life written down, add this at the end…. “Give this to me or something better.” Because you may have put down $100 and the universe may decide to give you $1000 instead.

The next step was gratitude journaling. She asked us to write down somethings we are grateful for and why. It is more important to write down the why because it shows yourself that you truly are grateful and just not writing things down to fill the pages.

Once you have written this down, Sue says, “close your book & let the universe do its thing.”

You are probably wonder why I post this blog on my fitness + health website… Because your mental health is just as important as exercising and eating well. I want you to live a healthy life all round and as a nutrition coach and personal trainer, I am qualified to help you with managing different stressors in your life. I believe that working together, we can help you live a healthier lifestyle.
