Your Career, Manifestation, and the Lunar Cycle: Aligning with Natural Rhythms

Whether or not you believe in manifestation or lunar energy, there’s real value in working with these principles.

Manifestation: Where Your Focus Goes, Energy Flows

At its core, manifestation is about aligning your focus and energy with what you want to create. It’s not magic, it’s mindset. 

- If you focus on lack, you’ll notice more scarcity. 

- If you focus on gratitude, you’ll feel more abundant. 

The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (aka “red car theory”), explains that when you give something your attention, your brain notices it more often. So, the question is:  Do you want to notice more of what you lack? Or more of what you desire? 

The Lunar Cycle: A Built-In Blueprint for Flow

Nature offers us a ready-made rhythm through the lunar cycle, which naturally alternates between doing and being phases. Instead of forcing constant productivity, you can use this flow to embrace both action and rest, a balance that most of us overlook. 

Here’s how to work with it: 

🌑 New Moon: Tuning into your true desires, set an intention. What do you want to create? 

🌒 Waxing Crescent: Refine your intention. Do the steps you’ve planned feel right? 

🌓 First Quarter: Take action. Move forward with bold, aligned steps. 

🌔 Waxing Gibbous: Trust. And ensure that your actions are still in sync with your intention.

🌕 Full Moon: Celebrate your progress. Recognize wins and recalibrate. 

🌖 Waning Gibbous: Practice gratitude and receive. Stay open to aligned opportunities. 

🌗 Third Quarter: In the gratitude of receiving, find ways to give back. 

🌘 Waning Crescent: Rest, reflect, release. What went well and what didn’t? Create space for new visions. 

Why It Matters

You don’t have to believe in lunar energy to benefit from incorporating a rhythm into your life. The key is to stop fighting nature’s flow, you are part of it.

- The Yin phases ask you to be: slow down, reflect, be present, and stay open. 

- The Yang phases ask you to do: take purposeful aligned action. 

By honoring both, you’ll create more ease, intention, and fulfillment, whether in your career, your projects, or your life.
