Picture this: A woman searching for a home in the real estate market after COVID. You know what I’m talking about. Home prices increased, low inventory, and multiple buyers bidding on the same property as soon as it hits the market. Yada. Yada. Yada. Now keep that picture in mind, and on top, add a separation in marriage so now she has to find a home. Ooof. No chance of manifesting your dream home now right?
What if I tell you that amidst all of that chaos that was happening, this person that I’m talking about was not only able to go under contract within a week after she started looking, but
she went under contract on her dream home at the time and eventually closed on the house.
Crazy right?
But maybe not so crazy. Because she knew she would be able to find exactly what she needed. She trusted the universe would deliver or even, over deliver, and that is exactly what happened.
And you can do the same.
Yep. You really can.
How, do you ask? By conceiving what it is you want, exactly what it is you want, in your mind!
An idea baby!
This is the path to your innermost desires and aspirations. Everything that you want starts here.
And, just like a real newly conceived baby, it can grow, and grow, and grow. You feed it by gaining a clear understanding of what truly brings you happiness, satisfaction, and purpose in life. Daydream and think and plan how you want the layout, the flow, the colors, everything!
This guide was made for you if you’re looking for that dream home of yours that maybe is not so far out of reach.
Through prompts and activities to support that “idea baby” growth, it will empower you to attract a home that embodies exactly what it is that you want, or something better.
Are you ready?

1. Creating Your Journal!
Begin by setting up a dedicated journal (trust me if you stick around in this space for any amount of time, we’re gonna be pulling that lil’ buddy of ours out a lot! ) or the notepad in your computer or phone will also work if you don’t have a journal. (If you don’t have one and want to invest in one, I love the leather journals at Barnes and Noble so if you don’t have one, get one here!)
This will be a space where you can pour your thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. Moreso, this journal will be your sanctuary to pour out all your ideas and discover and learn throughout your manifesting, growth, and empowerment journey.
2. Explore Those Core Values
So, to start, take some time with your bad self and begin to identify your core values—what matters most to you in life? Really, what is it that lights you up? Reflect on the values that drive your decisions, relationships, and pursuits. Ask yourself, “What are the principles that guide my journey through life, what makes me feel good?” and then,
In your journal:
- List your top five core values and write a brief explanation of why each one is essential to you (notice I said to you, not your mom, or your dog, or your best friend, you hunn-ay!
- Consider how your dream home can align with these core values and support your journey towards embodying them.
The woman in the story above truly needed a home for her and her 10-year-old son. She knew she needed a cozy home that would allow them to cuddle up and read together, two bedrooms, a backyard for her pup, along with bonfires and smores nights, and openness inside to allow possibility and creativity to flow in her life. When I tell you this girl dug deep!
3. Imagining Your Ideal Lifestyle
Visualize your ideal lifestyle—When you’re manifesting your dream home, you need to envision your daily routines, hobbies, and activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Allow yourself to dream without limitations! What lights you up and makes you say
YES! THIS IS ME, I THRIVEE AND GLOWW IN THIS SPACE!
In your journal:
- Describe a typical day in your dream home, from waking up to going to bed.
- Consider how your dream home can support and enhance the lifestyle you desire.
Now, this woman, the home she found wasn’t exactly rainbows and butterflies, but you know what? That is exactly what she needed.
This is a woman who breathes and lives for DIY and decor, for before and afters and obsesses over renovations. I mean she drools!
And now, she had remodels to obsess over for a whole year. Not one second went by that she regretted it.
She was living her dream!
4. Identifying Triggers of Joy
Honey oh my god, this is my favorite part of the journey in manifesting.
I want you to soak in the beauty of the little moments, the experiences, activities, and spaces that trigger feelings of joy and contentment in your life.
Whatever they are, really live them and just envision them as a blanket and wrap yourself up in the feelings, breathe them in, and enjoy them!
These could be moments of travel, nature walks, or cherished memories with loved ones.
In your journal:
- Write about a recent experience that filled you with joy and why it resonated with you.
- Consider how you can incorporate elements from these joyful experiences into your dream home decor.
Know that I don’t necessarily mean life-changing monumental events. I mean anything, including those little moments that fleet by in the day-to-day grind, the ones that sometimes go by unnoticed.
For the lady in our story, it was the little kiss on the cheek from her boy, or the tickle fights, or the book nights!
She wanted to be there for him and knew that in her home she wanted to incorporate a nice kitchen peninsula that would allow her to make breakfast while he sat and chatted, or make dinner while he did his homework.
She knew that there was a joy for them to bask in together, so she made sure to design her kitchen in a way that would allow them to be side by side even if they were both dealing with their own thing.
5. Understanding What You Love (as far as home design goes)
BABY GIRL let me tell you!
The maximalist lifestyle is not for me, I would probably have a panic attack if I lived with so much. But maybe it is for you! Reflect on your emotional responses to colors, textures, and design elements. Pay attention to how specific environments evoke different emotions.
Are you like me and prefer minimalism, or can you handle the maximalist life? Do you prefer pretty whites over bold black rooms? What leaves you in awe?
In your journal:
- Make a list of colors that evoke positive emotions in you, along with the feelings they elicit.
- Identify textures and materials that create a sense of comfort and tranquility for you.
For our friend in our story, she is a lover of simplicity.
Her home is a white canvas that flows, and the only separation from the kitchen to the living room is a beautiful, rich, wooden beam that she could just hug, and to be honest, she sometimes does. And she picked these design choices because they made her feel good. They were, after all, her comfort and home.
6. Clarify Those Aspirations Love!
Define the hopes you have for your dream home. Why does it need to be this certain way? Consider the emotions and experiences you want to evoke within its walls, and what you want it to evoke in you.
In your journal:
- Describe the feelings you wish to experience when you step into your dream home.
- Write down three specific aspirations you have for your dream home and how they align with your vision for a better life.
I know our friend didn’t want to overpay, and she had a specific budget that she stuck to. She didn’t compete against other buyers, that was never her plan, and she knew exactly what layout she wanted so she could do the renovations that she wanted in the way that she wanted.
What I’m trying to say is that when she was manifesting her dream home, she had a clear, exact picture of her expectations, and when you do that; when you are as clear as you possibly can be, the universe has no choice but to deliver.
Manifesting Your Dream Home
Ask and you shall receive. Ask for exactly what you want. Get clear on your deepest desires, values, and aspirations. By engaging in these prompts and exercises, you empower yourself to manifest your dream home, because you hold space for what you want, and only for what you want.
As you explore your core values, imagine your ideal lifestyle, and identify emotional connections, you lay the groundwork for finding a home that aligns with your authentic self and elevates your life to new heights.
I hope this guide serves you and I hope that it helps you understand that the universe is a giver. All you have to do is ask!
