Manifesting Made Real - How to Take Action and Not Just Dream | Milk and Melt's Monday 10/21

Yessss, Girlfriend, it’s that time again, Milk and Melts Monday is here! This week we’re getting into some real talk about manifestation, but hold up, not just the dreaming part, we’re talking about making it happen. We all have big visions, big goals, and big dreams, but what really sets the magic in motion? ACTION!!!.

So, let’s get us girlies excited and ready to level up, because this week’s topic is all about “Manifesting Made Real and how to Take Action and Not Just Dream.” It’s time to turn those vision boards, Pinterest boards, affirmations post-its, and daydreams into reality. And with 2025 around the corner, it’s never too early to start planting those seeds now so you can walk into the new year already on fire!

We all love a good vision board session, cutting out those magazine pics, writing down affirmations, and setting intentions. And while that’s a beautiful step, it’s just the beginning. You can dream all day long, but if you don’t take steps towards those dreams, they stay just that... dreams.

Manifesting is about matching your energy to your goals, but it also means showing up for yourself in real ways. It’s not about waiting for the universe to deliver; it’s about creating the space for the universe to work with you. And trust, when you put in that work, that’s where the real magic happens.

You want to manifest that new job, that business, or that next-level glow-up? It all starts with getting real about where you’re going—and taking consistent action to get there. Start small! Break it down:

• Want to start a business? Map out steps 1,2,and 3.
• Dreaming of a career shift? Update your resume, send it out.
• Ready for a personal glow-up? Hit the gym or start that skincare routine.

The secret? Every step counts. You don’t have to do it all at once, but you have to start somewhere. Think of each action as planting seeds for your aspirations. Some seeds take time to grow, but with water (aka effort) and sunlight (aka energy), they’ll sprout before you know it. And by the time 2025 rolls in, you’ll already be thriving.

It’s time to embrace that doer energy, Sis! Yes, speak those affirmations, but don’t stop there. Be the woman who puts in the work behind those affirmations. You’ve got all the power to make those dreams come to life, but the universe is waiting on your signal to show that you’re serious.

And here’s the thing, action breeds confidence. The more steps you take, the more capable you’ll feel. You’ll look back and realize you’ve been manifesting your life the whole time through your actions, even when you didn’t notice it.

Once you’ve got your goals in place, move like it’s already happening. That doesn’t mean faking it, but walking in alignment with your dreams. Want to land that dream job? Start carrying yourself like the boss you’re destined to be. Want to start that business? Start making moves and decisions as if it’s already popping. When you step into that energy, everything starts to align because you’re acting like it’s already yours.

Manifesting isn’t magic, it’s co-creation. You bring the work, and the universe matches your energy. But the universe isn’t going to do it all for you. If you want something, you’ve got to show up for it. That dream house? Get your finances in order. That new career? Put yourself out there. That healthy relationship? Start showing yourself the love you want to receive.

AND, don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen overnight. Trust the process. Manifesting is a journey, not a one-and-done thing. Keep pushing, and trust that your time is coming.

Start small, but make a habit of celebrating every win. Did you finish that course? Celebrate. Did you apply for that job? Celebrate. Did you take 10 minutes today to plan out your goals? Celebrate. We talked about this a few weeks ago, remember to acknowledge and celebrate at every step. Every bit of action is progress, and you deserve to honor every single step you take towards your goals. The energy you celebrate now will keep you moving forward tomorrow.

It’s time to step into the power of doing. Manifesting is the dream, but action is the fuel. This week, commit to making moves, no matter how small. Write that plan, send that email, take that first step, because you are more than just a dreamer, you’re a doer. And remember, everything you do now is setting the stage for 2025. So start today and walk into your future like it’s already yours.

Let’s make those dreams come to life, Queen. The universe is ready when you are.
