This morning I woke up with a gigantic smile. I grabbed my coffee and sat out on the balcony. As the warm sun fell on my face, I looked out with gratitude at the crystal Caribbean blue sea.

I’ve spent the past couple days playing in Puerto Rico. Next week, I hop on a cruise through the Caribbean. Today, I am living my dream life, but it wasn’t always this way.

Five years ago, when I first walked away from corporate, I felt stuck and trapped. I had a dream to work from anywhere in the world and be able to travel whenever I wanted, but I didn’t know how to bridge the gap between what I wanted and where I was at the time.

Can you relate?

Do you fantasize about your future but don’t know how to get there?

Do you have anxiety about your future because you feel trapped by your current reality?

Many of us have a hard time manifesting our dream life because we feel stuck. The good news is manifesting your dream life is a process. And when you know the process, you can apply it to your life and watch your dreams come true fast.

To get what you want, you have to train your brain to focus only on what you want, not on what is.

If you want to bridge the gap between what you want and where you are, try these tips. They helped me gracefully step into my dream life and write to you from beautiful places like Puerto Rico. Plus, this process helped me achieve other grand dreams, like manifesting media for my message.

There is a secret to getting what you want and it comes down to this simple process.

 Step 1: Set Your Intention

Set your intention and write it down on paper. There is a power in this process. You are essentially putting in your order to the universe. This becomes a declaration to help you align with clarity.

 Step 2: Go on a Future Field Trip – Visualize

To get what you want faster, spend time each day picturing it in your head. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between what is real or fake. By focusing on what you want, you will get it much faster because your brain goes to work on how to make it happen.

 Step 3: Take Action

Most of us feel worried about our future because we are unclear. Clarity comes from taking action. So the more action you take, the more clear you become. What action can you take today to help you get what you want?

 Step 4: Release Expectation

Five years ago, I took action to bridge the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. Every day, I put the process into play by releasing the outcome and my expectations of the situation. By trusting the process, the universe was able to swoop in and reward me with these amazing opportunities.

We all have important goals that deserve to be realized. Your dreams matter. Try these four easy steps to help you get the life you truly want.

    Wow! I love this… I am probably in the middle of the journey to where I want to be. I am further from the shore that made me depressed, but I am in the middle of the crashing waves that test my endurance and zeal. I know where I want to be… xx

    Hi Shannon. Thank you for spreading guidance and for sharing your experiences. I have just recently started meditating to search for my life’s purpose and asked the universe to direct me in the right direction. I’ve been trusting the process and it is how I came across your new book and landed here to your website. Clearly, I was meant to find you as we share similar paths. Through your words of wisdom I have now visualized what it is I need to do first to bridge the gap from my advertising world to a world of empowering woman. First step – start writing. Thank you again. love and light.

    Love your inspirational messages – they always are so timely with what is going on in my life at the time. I am excited for your upcoming book tour and would love it if you came to my hometown of Virginia Beach, VA. We are a tourist destination so maybe you could do some travel writing while you are here promoting your book !
