Happy Monday, Honeys!

I would like to begin by saying thank you SO SO much for the support and success that came along with the launch of my first collection. I watched my dreams unfold before my eyes and it still feels unreal. Even if you didn’t purchase anything, just to hear that you enjoyed the clothes or that you thought the site looked professional means the world to me.

That brings me to the topic of today’s post. I have decided to chat with you all about the Law of Attraction and how to manifest your goals into becoming a reality. I know this kind of thing isn’t for everyone and I totally respect that, but I can confidently say that it is a huge factor that’s gotten me to where I am today.

If you are unfamiliar with the Law of Attraction, it basically states that whatever you choose to put into the universe, either positive or negative, is a direct reflection of what will come back to you. For instance, think about those people in your life that seem unusually unlucky. Something is always wrong with them or their family, unfortunate things just keep occurring in their life for no clear reason, etc. Now think about what that person acts like on a day to day basis. Are they generally negative and pessimistic? Do they exert a sense of chaos and disorderly mayhem? It may even seem well-intentioned, but regardless, if that is what you put into the universe, you are bound to receive that same energy back. In another perspective, I am sure you know many people who are very positive and see things as the glass half full, people who worry little about their problems because they know it will be resolved somehow and they have many blessings to be thankful for still. These people tend to have less curveballs thrown their way and a happier, more simple life in general. Of course there are going to be uncontrollable and unexplainable factors, but generally life is pretty fair. The law of attraction is all about giving what you would like to receive and it works in so many ways.

The law of attraction works hand in hand with karma and the power of manifestation. These ideas can be applied to every aspect of your life, from work to relationships to mental health. I use these concepts as a general guide for my day to day actions and I feel like I owe all of my success and happiness to them. I’m sure you all know how karma works but if you aren’t familiar with conscious manifestation, it is the basic idea that revolves around intention and focus. I will break down a scenario from each aspect of life and show you exactly how these concepts can guide the outcome of your life.

Manifesting your goals through the Law of Attraction isn’t some streamline, step by step process but there are some guidelines that can help you understand how to consciously utilize them. First of all, you must set goals. Without goals, there is no clear direction or path to be taken on and your life may feel meaningless or stagnant. Goals don’t have to be elaborate or clear either, they can be as simple as knowing that you want to be happier and more relaxed in your life. They can also be career goals that shape your day to day activities, health goals, goals to strengthen and improve relationships (whether that is with partners, friends, family), anything you feel like you need to improve on.

Once you’ve established your goals, it is important to realize what steps needs to be done in order to reach those goals. If the steps seem unachievable, break them down into even smaller steps because there will be milestones that have to be reached within your goals as well. Remember that this is all a lifestyle and eventually these things will become a subconscious part of your day. At this point, your fate is in your hands. If you constantly imagine yourself with these achievements someday, you are manifesting them into reality. If you work hard to reach every step of the journey, you are using the Law of Attraction to bring you the reward you deserve. And lastly, if you are good to people and the world around you while you are working to achieve your goals, karma will ensure that your life is blissful and smooth.

Now I have to reiterate, living life with this mentality will absolutely make you a more productive and happy person but there are still going to be constant bumps and uncontrolled factors. This is where karma plays a huge role. If you learn to handle misfortunes and hardships with an open mind and positive attitude, you are bound to come out on the other side enriched and stronger from the experience rather than depleted and discouraged. Not only that, but handling hard times with positivity will bring more good fortune and ease to your future.

I remember being young and literally manifesting a future for myself. I dreamt so often of being far away from my rural hometown, being comfortable and confident in my own skin, living in a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment, being surrounded by loving and real relationships, and succeeding in some type of fashion career where I can truly express myself. These were the things that I would constantly think about and envision and as soon as I could put action into making them a reality, I did. Even the simplest goals seemed really unachievable given that I was stuck in a small, close minded environment, I didn’t have a ton of money or opportunity, and there was no “easy way” to get there. But I figured out exactly what it would take and look at my life now. I live in a beautiful, upscale town in South Florida, I am physically the healthiest I have ever been and I am confident in my own skin, I have a gorgeous apartment that I can’t help but keep clean and looking pretty (listen ya’ll, I used to be a MESS and I never thought this could happen), I have incredible friendships that feel like family to me, I have a Bachelor’s Degree, and of course, I have Local Honey which is beyond anything I thought I could’ve achieved at only 20 years old. If someone would’ve told 14-year-old Jolene that this would be her life in six years, I think she would just cry.

As you can see, I have used these concepts to shape my life and I am living proof that it works. I feel so grateful for every single thing in my life; knowing that I envisioned it, worked for it, and made it happen by myself. There is no excuse for not reaching your goals, and I truly hope that you all feel empowered enough to achieve anything you set your mind to.

Now go manifest your dreams, honey. I believe in you. <3
