Understanding the Difference: Manifesting vs. Dreaming and How to Create Real Change in Your Life: Part 1

What’s the difference?

Manifesting and dreaming are two concepts that are often used interchangeably but they are actually quite different. While both involve focusing on something that feels good and that we desire, manifesting takes it a step further by actually taking deliberate conscious action to create what we want in our lives. We are subconsciously always manifesting or creating our reality; however to manifest your ideal life you have to make a conscious effort to create what you want. 

How it works

Physiologically speaking, the current cells within our body and the synapses within our brain were formed based on what we have been thinking about, feeling, or experiencing in the past. This means that our brains naturally create neural networks, meaning thoughts and actions based on what we have practiced in the past.

What we have thought, felt, and experienced in the past, both positive and negative, perpetually creates what we are manifesting in the present. It requires conscious effort to disrupt the pattern of the past and create what we truly want in our lives. Without conscious effort, we are just repeating the same patterns and experiences from our past, like a computer program that keeps repeating the same instructions.

However, most people will not make a deliberate conscious effort to manifest their desires until they reach a breaking point where they are fed up with their current situation and are desperate for change. This breaking point is what is called the "contrast," where we realize that we don't want what we currently have and the desire to change overpowers the inertia of the past.

From this point, our desire to change becomes a driving force that propels us towards taking deliberate conscious action to manifest our desires. This process requires inner alignment, which means aligning our inner state with our external desires. We need to create the feeling internally first in order to manifest the related desires and goals externally.

Manifesting involves a constant feedback loop between our thoughts, emotions, and physiology. We are always manifesting based upon our thoughts and feelings, conscious or conscious. When we think about something, we feel the associated emotions and chemicals in our body. This, in turn, reinforces our thoughts and creates a feedback loop that can either be positive or negative depending on our thoughts and emotions.

To use this to manifest what we desire, we must identify what it is that we truly desire and why we desire it. For example, if we want a luxurious house, we must ask ourselves what we will feel when we have that house. Will it make us feel successful, accomplished, or happy? Identifying these internal desires and feelings is crucial to creating the right mindset and inner alignment necessary for manifesting our desires.

In contrast, dreaming is a more passive process where we simply think about our desires without taking any deliberate action toward achieving them. While dreaming can be enjoyable and provide temporary relief, it does not lead to any real change or manifestation of our desires.

Why it matters

In conclusion, manifesting and dreaming are two distinct processes that involve focusing on our desires, but manifesting takes it a step further by requiring deliberate conscious action to create the change we want in our lives. By identifying our internal desires, aligning our inner state with our external desires, and taking deliberate action, we can manifest our desires and create the life we truly want.  To learn more about the process and how to manifest your desires read part 2 of this post in the upcoming weeks of June 2023.

Fed Up With Mom-Guilt?

Are you overwhelmed, exhausted, run down and tired of barking at your kids and then feeling guilty afterward?

Do you feel like there’s not enough time in the day for you or even if there was you wouldn’t have the energy to enjoy it?

Maybe you’ve “lost” yourself along the way in your efforts to be a “good” parent and you desperately want to feel alive again?

Perhaps you’re ready for a change but unsure how after focusing your energy on your family or are a stay at home parent who desperately needs to find time for self-care…

I get it!

Carving out time for self-care can be overwhelming for anyone. For a parent who’s responsible for keeping all the balls in the air on a daily basis, it can seem impossible.

But let me ask you…

If not now, when? The inertia of the rhythm of daily life as it is set up now will propel you years into the future — is that what your heart desires? Or is there something more, something different, or something new that you really yearn for? Without deliberate, conscious effort to change the trajectory of your life, it is certain — you will wake up the same each day, whether you like how it feels or not.

Knowing that you need a change is the first step…figuring out HOW is often the overwhelming part.

What if I told you the gift of a carefully curated array of SIMPLE, natural solutions is waiting for you?

It’s true. I’m here to show you…

Hi. I’m Sarah Denio.

I have been able to shed the anxiety, exhaustion, over-stimulation, self-doubt and mom-guilt that kept me up at night and create the family environment I’ve always dreamed of, with SIMPLE self-care. My journey through all of this was the impetus for KindNest, which has now supported hundreds of individuals and couples with simple, natural resources for parenting, healing after loss, trying to conceive, and pregnancy, since opening in 2019.

I often hear from parents who feel guilty for trying to carve out a little time for themselves. Like it’s a luxury they can’t afford. But what if it’s not a luxury? What if you’re going to pay a much steeper price if you don’t take care of yourself? What if incorporating these simple habits into you life will actually make you a happier person and therefore a better parent?

It may sound cliche but it’s true: if we don’t put on our own oxygen mask first, we have little to offer to others.

You can BE the person (and therefore the parent) you are meant to be, and KindNest is here to make clear that SIMPLEST route to that life you desire.

Intrigued?

KindNest offers simple options, ranging from on-demand courses and in-person or virtual Coaching.

Do You Look In The Mirror And Think: "I Really Thought I'd Have A Baby [Or Be Pregnant] By Now…"?

Learn how to let go of “working” toward your goal.

I was there too. I was obsessed. I overanalyzed what day of my cycle it was, what I put into and on my body, any potential sign or symptom of ovulation or pregnancy…

It didn’t take long for it to not feel good to live like that, yet I couldn’t help myself — I wanted to be pregnant SO badly! I didn’t know what else to do…

But I had the sense that fixation may not be healthy. So I turned the obsession into figuring out what WOULD get me to my goal.

Guess what?

Turns out the same habits that had me feeling like I was on a hamster wheel in my mind all day were likely preventing me from getting pregnant!

What I needed were capabilities for success. Tools that would allow me to tap into my innate potential as a woman — To use my mind and my body in a way that was productive (and re-productive!)

And through research, trying things out in my own life, throwing out what didn’t work and keeping what did, seeing/living the results, and then formalizing these habits into repeatable practice…because I’ve distilled the plan down to what actually what achieves results:

I have now been able to help LOTS of others become pregnant in less than 8 weeks!!!

And not only are they pregnant but they’re seeing their entire lives transform before their eyes.

It’s true: MORE THAN 90% OF WOMEN WHO HAVE PUT THESE PRACTICES INTO USE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES HAVE BECOME PREGNANT IN LESS 8 WEEKS!

Ask Yourself Honestly:

• Control: Am I ready to leave in the rear view mirror the anxiety, control, and analysis of every single thing I do or put in or on my body?

• Trust: Am I ready to reclaim trust in my body?

• ​Ease: Am I ready for having a baby to feel EASY?

If you answered “YES!” to these questions, it’s time to explore whether Conception Accelerator Coaching will work for YOU!

NOTE: This program will REQUIRE you to allow yourself to let go of the notion that you have to work harder in order to achieve what you desire in life.

THIS will be that “work”. If that doesn’t appeal to you, this program is NOT for you.

For inspiration, check out what others are saying…

“I didn’t know (or like) the person I became while trying to conceive and it was very unsettling. Through coaching sessions with Sarah I was able to find space and ground myself through breathing, visualizing and positive thought processes that helped me through the cloud of anxiety.” -Darcie

“Even before finding out I was pregnant, I felt this experience was invaluable. I now feel empowered, I trust myself and my body, and I have gained skills that have improved all aspects of my life. I can’t recommend this coaching enough, it has truly changed my life in more ways than one.” -Marissa

“I can seriously not say enough about KindNest. Sarah was a miracle worker, between the reiki and coaching it was like I became a new person with all the tools that could handle anything that came my way. I know for a fact Sarah was who helped me get pregnant. After 2 years, a miscarriage, all the acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and fertility treatments, it wasn’t until I met with her and worked through stuff that I got pregnant and my little girl is just perfect (I had stopped fertility treatments at the time of getting pregnant so I know it was her).” -Nichole

“I didn’t really know what I wanted to achieve besides the obvious of becoming pregnant (which I did!) but I took away SO much more from this coaching than I ever expected about trusting myself and empowering my body.” - MM

“I can’t say enough good things about the fertility coaching. I went into it with my one goal and that was to get pregnant but I’m walking away with so much more. Practical life tools to help navigate fertility, triggers and everything! So grateful for Sarah and her coaching.” - Melissa

How To Look To The Future With Hope After Loss…

How To Look To The Future With Hope After Loss…

…even if you’re scared of getting stuck in feelings of sadness.

My journey to becoming a mother was a bumpy one. Having come through to the other side, I can now see clearly many of the “silver linings”, lessons that I carry with me to this day, which came from those dark times.

Note: This is not a “everything happens for a reason” post. I know that’s not helpful. I’m interested in sharing what DOES make a difference on the road to healing after pregnancy loss.

The fact is, it’s nearly impossible to heal when something hurts so badly that each time we think about it we have to push it away, shove it down, save it for later or else risk losing control.

The bad news

There are no two ways about it: When we push something under the rug, it leaves a lump. And each time we tread there, we are left with the choice of going out of our way to circumvent it OR to stay the course and trip over it each time. What’s not allowed will remain; as the saying goes “what we resist, persists.”

When it comes to losing a baby, that lump in the rug is pretty big: thoughts of what went wrong, what might have been, what it means for the future…the grief, sadness, anger and resentment can be extremely overwhelming and the fact is most of us are not prepared nor equipped to handle it.

Add to it the roller coaster of lingering pregnancy hormones flooding your body, combined with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline (triggered by your body’s natural “fight or flight” response), and it’s no wonder you feel like a mess.

The good news

Allowing the unwelcome feelings at a time you choose can be extremely empowering, and we have a resource that walks you through how. It’s a free guided meditation.

By simply giving yourself the time and space to honor how you feel, you can allow your feelings to come to the surface without getting stuck in them, offer yourself some much-needed and -deserved compassion and relief, and in time, truly heal.

KindNest offers a range of options for supporting yourself in allowing the unwelcome emotions, so you may take steps in the direction of healing and looking to the future with hope, ranging from a Healing Essentials digital course to one-on-one coaching.
