Welcome back to Seek The Joy Podcast and happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!

Can you believe that it's the final Tuesday of 2017!? What a wild rollercoaster of a year this has been, full of lessons and blessings. Safe to say I’m looking forward to 2018. There's so much goodness on the horizon for all of us.

This time of the year is so special and unique. We sort of have one foot in this year and one foot in the new year. It's technically still 2017 but we're already looking foreward to 2018 with new intentions, goals and resolutions.

What I've noticed is that so many of us approach these intentions and resolutions that we set for ourselves as a "to-do list." We try and knock each resolution out, and by the time February or March runs around, we're frustrated and discouraged. BUT, there's a really powerful tool out there that so many of us might be aware of, but we may not be using.

I’m talking about manifestation and the law of attraction.

These are tools that I only recently started learning about and implementing into my life earlier this year. I’m still working on it. I certainly haven’t mastered these techniques, but I’m excited to learn more and to dive deep into how they can help all of us.

Today's episode is perfect timing with the new year right around the corner.

Joining me on today's episode to talk about manifestation, joy, and the power of "I Am" is Lauren Sanders, the creator of The I AM Journal.

The I AM Journal is a beautiful manifestation journal that helps you transform your thoughts, raise your vibrational energy, deepen your spiritual journey, reprogram your subconscious mind and manifest with ease.

I am so excited about this episode, The I Am Journal, and this conversation with Lauren.

After searching for a manifestation journal to accompany her own journey, Lauren "stopped looking, and started creating."

Lauren wants to help others live the life of their dreams through journaling and manifestation. With The I AM Journal, Lauren is sharing the same powerful daily prompts that she used in her own journey. Lauren walks you through your personal transformation by providing you with the tools to make your burning desires a reality. The journal includes powerful daily writing prompts and daily mindset transformation exercises that make manifestation accessible and easy to use.

Your mindset becomes your reality, and with The I Am Journal you prime your mindset for the day to get you on track and into alignment right away. When you're committed to working on your mindset, you're becoming a better version of yourself. (#Truth)

We're manifesting all the time - it's just a matter of what we're manifesting.

Lauren breaks down the strong connection between joy and manifestation on today's episode. Joy plays such a strong role in the manifestation process. It’s all about staying in that joy and happiness so that you're already vibrationally compatible with what it is you are seeking.

I’m so grateful that Lauren breaks all of this down on today’s episode. By thinking, feeling, acting and believing as if your desires have already manifested themselves in your life, it opens the door for the universe to deliver them.

Lauren also explains that for manifestation to work, you have to take action. The I Am Journal includes space to outline three intentional actions to take that day to attract your burning desires. The key though is to make sure that you're taking these actions from a space of alignment.

Lauren is such a kind, sweet soul and I loved connecting with her, hearing about her process creating the journal, the role manifestation has played in her life, joy, gratitude, and much much more.

With 2018 on the horizon, go out and purchase The I Am Journal, and start putting these tools to use in your life.
