How To Transform Yourself
The first step to personal transformation is to decide what you want to create with focused intent.
Whenever we decide to change ourselves and subsequently change our lives, it is usually created by an inner voice or a feeling telling us to do so.
Focused Intent is the key to transforming yourself.
When you do that and you mean it, your intent will attract the experiences you need to achieve the personal transformation that you desire. Intent is stating something that I want or intend to do.
The experiences that you attract after you set your intention will often be ones that we would rather not be attracting into our lives. It will feel as though our life is “falling apart” but it is a transition, and you must stay the course in order for the transformation to occur.
It’s best to learn to go with your intuition during these times because your mind will not be much help to you. If you’re having trouble accessing your intuition during these times find a friend who has strong intuitive abilities to help guide you.
Everything Is Energy
Remember that everything is energy and what you attract into your life is based on your energetic vibration at the moment. As you transform yourself, your vibrational energy will change, and so will things in your life that is not an energetic match for the new you.
This could mean a change in your job, your geographic location, relationships, wealth, and even your health.
Synchronicity
When you set your intention attraction will begin almost immediately. I remember several years ago I was interested in getting a job. My intent was to attract a job that was flexible, had unlimited income potential, and wouldn’t require me to spend eight or nine hours in a building all day or working my ass off doing something physical with low pay.
Later that day I was at Home Depot getting some supplies and this man approaches me and starts making small talk like I knew him. My intuition was sending me signals but I ignored it in favor of being polite. Well after a couple of minutes of small talk from this guy he begins to ask me what I do for a living.
I told him that I was presently looking for a new career and that I was submitting applications daily. Well this guy happened to be a recruiter who was on a scouting mission looking for potential initiates into his MLM cult.
I agreed to an an interview/ sales pitch with his mentor. After meeting up at their office and seeing the power point presentation on their computer and getting a free health bar and drink I had enough.
I decided not to take the job because I followed my intuition. A year later I saw this same guy at Borders Book store trying to recruit some more suckers.
I met the recruiter because our sub-conscious was on a similar wavelength. I was setting my intention for a job and he set his intention for people that are interested in a job. This is how all Synchronicities occur.
Another point to this story is that just because something seems synchronisitic doesn’t mean that it is meant to be . You must develop some discernment and go with what your intuition tells you despite what your own mind might say.
I wasn’t upset that I attracted this experience because it was part of the journey. I have learned to not be at war with the journey because it is a necessary part of the process. Go with the flow as the saying goes.
All Creation Starts In The Metaphysical Universe
Creation doesn’t start in the physical world or even in the mind, it starts within. This is known as your “inner-self’ or subconscious which is multi-dimensional in nature. Everything that is present in our physical world is projected from and controlled in the Metaphysical Universe.
The sub-conscious operates in the realms of frequency the same as the Metaphysical Universe.
For my fellow bloggers reading this, it would be similar to using the Word Press Administration panel (sub-conscious/Metaphysical Universe) to create , control, and manage your blog. The physical creation would be your site that is visible on the web. But the real work is done at the admin panel.
Removing Limiting Beliefs To Transform
The sub-conscious is also the place that “real” change will occur in ourselves. When we are able to remove or delete a limiting belief, which resides in our sub-conscious, our entire life experience will transform.
When enough individuals remove limiting beliefs from their sub-conscious a collective shift will occur in humanity. This is why personal development is so critical for all of us. Personal development is not a physical product that you can buy or a pill that you can take. It is real work that is first done on the sub-conscious level and then made manifest into reality.
Control is a big issue in our society these days. If you want to experience real control, start with your sub-conscious.
One last note on personal transformation. It may not come to you the way that you would like it to. In fact in may come to you disguised as your biggest nightmare. I can look back at many, many personal experiences that were frightening and scary and yet they were exactly what was needed in order to transform myself.
The problem that many experience with personal transformation is the “change” in one’s life. Yes your life experience will become altered, and yes your “little ego” will begin to shudder in despair as these changes take place. But don’t fret because your consciousness will know that what is happening is happening for a reason, and it is in your own best interest; even though the little ego mind will not be able to see it that way.
The key to remember here is to “live life” and not let life live you. Take responsibility for what happens to you and in doing so you will take control of your life. Learn to become a master manifester and create the life of your dreams while changing yourself at the same time.
Manifest the life of your dreams through personal transformation
When we learn how to consciously manifest things, people and events into our lives we feel more confident and in control of our lives. Below are three simple tips for doing exactly that.
1. Allow Yourself To Receive
Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks, “Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to go to the post office? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?” Well, if the child goes on and on asking, the police officer can’t even give an answer, right?
Well, it’s the same thing with your mind. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe — which is trying to respond — can’t give you a single thing because you’re not allowing yourself to receive!
So, have the confidence in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by running around person to person begging for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup (Hint: It’s because you’re running away too fast for them before they can even reach for their wallets).
Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it is you asked for) when the time is right.
2. Be Patient With Yourself
Receiving takes time.
Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish line because they’ve decided that if it’s not working by now, it’s never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.
This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month. You also can’t bake cookies in half the time by doubling the temperature. You’ll incinerate those cookies to ashes!
In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it.
So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time.
If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.
3. Support and Educate Yourself
Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need to guidance on how to do it, and the role models to look up to.
Many people give up because they think that “The Secret” is the “be all and end all” solution. Well, it’s NOT. “The Secret” is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.
Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch “The Secret” 19 times (without looking at changing the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day (but you’re still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes).
So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Also, make an effort to be amongst people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.
While the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!

Hey Justin,
I don't know if the things that are happening to me lately are 'meant to be' but I am starting to finally overcome a very hard limiting barrier myself by thinking that it is "OK" to fail.
(I was kind of obsessed with perfection)
When we REALLY understand that our barriers are mostly just in our mind, there's a pretty good chance to overcome them if we have the right mindset and the momentum to address it properly.
Thanks for sharing this, appreciated!
I still struggle with the idea of relating my subconscious to the metaphysical universe. As much as I appreciate the originality of your thoughts, how does this revelation help me?
You relate the metaphysical subconscious (I think that's the phrase) to the wordpress log in and dashboard. So for example. If I lose my day job tomorrow, how do I reach the dashboard?
Hi Laurence,
You reach the dashboard through thought. Everything is energy vibrating including yout thoughts.
Your thoughts are things and the first phase of deliberate creation.
Losing a day job as your example. So what. Get a new one. How do you do that. Browse online job listings, e-mail your network of friends that you need/want a new job.
Go on linkedIn and join a group that will help you find a job.
As far as how my relating the subconscious and the metaphysical will help you. It will or it won't, it's up to you what you do with the information.
I am playing around with the idea of starting up a membership site in which I could work with groups of people.
That way I could go into more detail to explain how to use the subconscious and other facets of personal development.
If you want more than this post than sign-up with a coaching session with me and you and I can work together on a one on one basis.
I'm actually starting to transform myself, but find it hard to maintain that energy, flame, focus or whatever you have to call it. Just for example, if I work hard today, I tend to relax by tomorrow and days to come. I'm back to feeling down, negative thinking, etc. Still unsure why things are just like this again...
Hi Maria,
That why getting a personal success coach like me is so beneficial. I will make sure that you do not get too complacent.
Now I'm thinking of having you as my personal coach! LOL Seriously, I've read your offer and testimonials... I must say that you can be a great help for me.
HI Justin, I really enjoyed this post. I'm thinking I read it at the right time because I have just gone through a patch where I have had to try to get realigned. I definitely need work on the area of manifestation and deliberate creation, so this was welcome fuel to my dormant fire! Will keep you posted of my progress! ;-)
Thanks for the great post
Jayne
Thanks Jayne,
Deliberate creation takes practice like anything else. The more that we do something the better we will get at it.
The sub-conscious is also the place that “real” change will occur in ourselves. When we are able to remove or delete a limiting belief, which resides in our sub-conscious, our entire life experience will transform.Yes, I believe in this part as you have mention because it is very helpful to transform our self into a better one by removing our limitation belief to be transform on what we would like to be.
Elpidio,
It's the only way to have and experience real change. Everything else is using willpower which is in the conscious mind.
Thanks, how to transform yourself is a special read.
Just would like to thank you for this special read. I definitely savored every little bit of it including all the comments and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
Hi JUSTIN,
Its a very good and informative article to go through. All the 5 points for transforming are useful as transformation is needed in life to anyone. I like the point that everything is energy because we are able to do all the works for our energy and things will become more easier the more we are energetic. In fact it was really good trusting our intuitions as they never betray us. Thanks for uploading.
Hey Hawk,
Awesome name btw. Distraction or lack of focus will always curtail our plans.
Great post as always, Justin. I like your approach as it is very detailed and disciplined. It is so easy to get distracted unless you follow a structured plan.
Hey Joshua,
We have the option to stay as we are but where is the fun in that. Growth keeps us from becoming bored and static. The cool thing is that we can consciously decide what direction we want to go in.
Hello,
Congratulations for this post, extremely well written. I think it's up to us if the transformation will be good or bad, it depends only on us.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Fesbuk,
I had become fascinated with the paranormal/metaphysical aspects of life about ten years ago. I would often have prophetic dreams, de ja vu, and even had received messages via an "inner-knowing". It's great to have like minded people come together and share their knowledge as best as we can. Thanks Fesbuk.
Stay focused and perform daily ritualistic habits that get ingrained into your sub-conscious. Repetition is the mother of skill.
This is a really interesting post.
It's so true that you have to listen to your intuition. On the surface, the MLM sounded like exactly what you were looking for (that's how they get you! :) ), but you were able to discern that it wasn't right by using your intuition. Brilliant! I think this is where a lot of people get stuck. They say, "this is what I was looking for, and here it is, so I'd better take it" without using any intuition or discernment.
Great post!
Amy,
That's exactly the way that it worked out for me.
Thanks Tammy,
Hi Justin,
I so agree with you. The most inner part of our being is where our opportunities to love our life come from. We choose our future and we choose the thoughts that bring that future to us.
Another great post, my friend.
Tammy
Marlon,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Intent and focus can be draining to the body but it does work for creating your desires.
Justin,
The first sentence says it best: "The first step to personal transformation is to decide what you want to create with focused intent."
- Focus
- Intention
Those two elements involve a lot of work. But they are the most basic things we need to affect any transformation.
Focus and Intention involve the mind, spirit, and body.
I actually read this a couple of days ago. I just have to come back and read it again. I love its depth.
Justin!
Unbelievable post! I got chills as I read this. I didn't think there were people out there that had a clear understanding of intent and vibrations. It's so refreshing to see this type of content explained so well.
Another great way to help eliminate limited belief to to come into your awareness. Listen you your breathing pattern, the sounds around you that you don't normally hear due to every day life, then focus on nothing.
When your mind is clear your real intent becomes clear. I've has similar situations to your career change. Due to my vibrations I was attracting people and situations that felt like they fit my intent then through the gift of discernment I was able to distinguish the difference.
Excellent stuff right here!
Hey Chelsea,
You sound well versed in intent and manifestation procedures. We are always intending and manifesting but like you said we must remember to use discernment. I look at intent and manifesting as similar to cooking food or baking. We know our outcome, we have the ingredients, but if it is our first time doing it, it may not turn out perfect. The only way we can get better is by repetition.
Fred,
It's funny, I was just wondering where the hell have you been lately. And here you are.
Great point about energy. That's why it is so crucial to keep our energy as pure as we can by eating healthy foods and meditating.
I love this article! Especially the part about Wordpress. ;)
I've been thinking about how much energy affects us lately. Or rather, how we ARE energy, and how it is within our power to manifest anything we want.
At least that's the idea, and I've been seeing great results with it.
Great as usual Justin.
Really good post Justin and I can relate to a lot of what you shared. For years I manifested all the wrong things because I wasn't being specific enough with what I really wanted in my life so I was attracting part of those things. Little did I know at the time what I was really doing.
I've been on my own personal development journey for about four years now and boy have I learned a lot. Oh, and all good things my friend.
Thanks for this, really good!
Adrienne
Adrienne,
It's alright for us to be imperfect in our manifesting skills but the more that we do it the better we will get. Your PD journey will be the best one that you ever took. Thanks Adrienne.
Hi Justin,
Great information about synchronicity and intention. Have you ever read the book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy? If not, I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about how your sub-conscious and conscious mind work together for attracting desires into your life.
On a side note, how do you get your picture to appear each time you comment on different blogs?
Hey Todd,
I will check out the book by Joseph Murphy, thanks for sharing that. Get yourself a Gravatar for adding a picture when you comment:http://en.gravatar.com/.
Hi Diana,
All of our programming is in the sub-conscious including our heart-beat, stomach digestion and even beliefs.
Intuition is like a muscle that you can develop through repetition. There are many books and resources and websites dedicated to developing intuition.
Hi Justin,
What a powerful statement "If you want control, start with your subconscious". That would solve a lot of our problems because we are filled with so many limiting beliefs about ourselves.
I also like the point you brought up about trusting our intuition. It's a hard thing to do but it doesn't have to be a overnight turnaround.
You can start by following your intuition on a few things to so called "test it out". Once you see the power of doing so, and how your intuition can help you, you learn to trust it more.
Usman,
Health and energy is our most valuable asset. Without them we cannot do much else in this world.
Marcus,
You are right that we still managed to manifest something even if it is not entirely what we wanted to. We still did produce something which means intentional manifestation is possible.
Hi Justin,
I like to think of myself as an apprentice deliberate creator because I am not yet able to do it consistently in all areas of my life.
I was particularly interested in reading about the synchronicity that happens and isn't quite what one was hoping for.
The thought that comes to mind is that of a magician who is learning his craft. He might want a white rabbit to come out of the hat but what happens if it's a grey pigeon?
He still managed to draw something out of the hat, just not what he was expecting.
This reminds me of myself when I manifest something that seems far away from what I had envisioned.
I sometimes have to catch myself from becoming frustrated and instead acknowledge that I still managed to manifest something that was obviously in alignment with my vibration.
When I examine these manifestations carefully I do always manage to see how they relate to what I wanted.
I believe celebrating even the half cocked manifestations is an important part of expressing gratitude.
Thanks for helping me to understand this a bit more clearly.
~Marcus
Marcus, you crack me up, I have had many a "half cocked grey pidgeon" myself!! Ha ha and that's putting it mildly!!
Sorry Justin, but this tickled my funny bone had to let Marcus know!
Jayne
Perhaps the inner intention is sometimes provoked by an outer happening. In this sense the change begins in the outer world.
I'm left wondering how to know when to quit. If the intention attracts the experiences you want, and you need to persist when you get the experiences you don't want . . . - it seems that quitting is not an option.
Evan,
If you quit you will not get to your desired outcome. It's like turning the oven off before the cake is finished.
Julie,
The more specific you are in what you asking for the easier it will be to receive what you want. The Universe hears everything that you ask for but we have to let go of expectations of how it comes to us.
You just gave me an epiphany (regarding an answer I was seeking).
It's really important when setting your intentions to add at the end what Marianne Williamson says,"Or something better, please God." That way you're not directing the How, or even necessarily the What as much as the eventual Transformation or really, Creation.
I like your example of the cult and what Meloday said. I hear from a lot of people who are scratching their heads saying,"Is THIS supposed to be the thing I was asking for? How come it isn't right? Did I ask the wrong question or misstate my intention?"
Yes limiting beliefs are are like a big invisible barrier that we cannot get past.
Justin,
Nicely done! I particularly like your point about how not all manifestations are meant to be. Most of us aren't all that precise at focusing, particularly when we first get started on doing it deliberately. So, our manifestations may not exactly match what we want yet, because we're still refining our vibration. It's like the Universe is asking "like this? how about this?" and then we can alter and shape and mold our energy to fine tune our creation.
Hugs,
Melody
Hi Melody,
So true what you said. I am not an expert manifester yet but I am aware of what I am creating most of the time.
The Universe is not partial to our desires and will always give us a second,third, and fourth chance to get it the way that we want it.
Hi Justin,
In my life I place heavy emphasis on heightened awareness. For me it's the best way to get off of automatic pilot mode and begin living a mindful existence.
Riley
Hi Riley,
I was having the same thought earlier today. I too have a tendency to go into automatic pilot mode especially if I am doing something routine and boring.
It's amazing what we can be aware of when we raise our awareness to a higher level.
