Day 21 of 21 Manifesting Challenge

Personal Diary

Hi Besties!

Thanks for coming along with me on this manifesting journey. If you missed any of the previous journal entries, just head over to aligningmom.com

This 21-day challenge took me more than 21 days. It took me 34 days!!

Obviously, I did not do this consecutively every single day from January 1st to January 21st. For example, I completed challenge day 9 on January 11th. And I did challenge day 12 on January 19th.

And you know what?

That’s perfectly okay.

I would pick up where I left off and not feel one bit guilty about it.

You know why?

Every time that happened, the lesson was exactly what I needed on THAT particular day for a very specific reason. In the end, each challenge, lesson and meditation all aligned exactly when they were meant to.

Day 21 Journal Entry

Lesson: Your Future Self

In this lesson we were instructed to write a letter to ourselves now, but as ourselves from the future a year from now. It’s better if you just read the instructions below to understand what I’m saying.

Lesson journal prompt:

Imagine it’s one year from today and every desire you’ve been calling in has manifested. Write a letter from your future self to your current self. Describe how your life has changed and how it feels to be living everything you’ve envisioned.

My letter:

Dear Ashley,

It has taken some discipline, prioritization and constant alignment to get here. It might seem impossible now, but you will find your flow. Trust me. Just in the way that you managed to find your flow in formatting each 21-day manifesting challenge journal entry. Look how you found your flow with doing these voice-to-text journal entries and later revising them into full posts.

Take note of how you optimize your time. Notice if each of those optimizations feel easy or if they feel difficult — like there’s resistance. Choose the optimization that creates ease. After all, isn’t that what efficiency and optimization is for?

It’s taken some work to remind yourself that it doesn’t need to be hard — that there can be an easier way especially with all the technology that we are given today. Isn’t it wonderful that thanks to technology we can complete more in today’s 24 hours than we might have been able to do before? Of course, this is all in a “perfect world” theory. The key to that is prioritization. As much as it’s easier to optimize, it’s also easier to get distracted in today’s technology world. It takes discipline to detour from the distractions.

The other key is to have fun. It’s easier to forego the distractions when you’re living in ease, flow & fun.

I’m proud of you.

Keep it up.

I love you.

Meditation: Meet Your Future Self

Today’s meditation was about allowing ourselves to receive and reflect on our future self’s guidance.

Here’s the post-meditation journal prompt:

What guidance or advice did your future self offer during the meditation? Write about how you will apply this wisdom to your manifesting journey moving forward.

My post-meditation journal entry:

My future self told me to take inventory of my use of time. Then reorganize from there.

She told me I’ll need to purge and replace. But how I purge and replace habits needs to be done gradually. I know myself too well that if I try to implement too many changes in my lifestyle at once, none of them will become sustainable.

One step at a time.

I also need to purge and replace what I consume and who I follow on social media. Social media should be a tool and not an endless rabbit hole trap.

Just like anything else in my life, I have the power to choose what I consume. I do have some control over my algorithm. I do not have to be a victim to it.

She also gently reminded me to give myself gentle reminders to return to the present moment.

The end of the challenge!

I really enjoyed this challenge.

I truly believe that each challenge came on the right day for me. With so much turmoil in the world, this was much needed.

In addition, committing to this challenge did help me to connect to the spirit world again — AKA communicate with my spirit guides and angels.

It’s been really hard for me to meditate, and having this consistent-ish practice has aided me with getting into a meditative state with more ease.

By the time you read this, the challenge may or may not be closed.

If not, please give it a try while you still have time.

If it has concluded, save this post and come back to my page toward the end of the year. I’ll keep you updated with the manifesting challenge for 2027.

Thanks for joining me on this beautiful journey.

Much love.
