How to Manifest your Dream Apartment

THE JOURNEY:

My partner and I decided to look for a new apartment for April 1st, 2022 for a 2 bedroom apartment.

This journey would put to the test everything that I've learned about trusting my intuition.

We started looking for an apartment about 2 months before because we wanted to give ourselves more time just in case. When we started looking, I thought we would find an apartment right away. As I was lucky in the past to quickly find a new apartment. My boyfriend was the one that really took the lead on finding and messaging people about available apartments. So, we set up to view some apartments. And one after the other, they were very underwhelming or the landlords put up pictures that didn't even match the apartment we would go and see, which really made us angry! We would see 2 bedroom apartments and the 2nd bedroom would be the size of a closet, not kidding you, you couldn't even fit a twin-size bed in there!

And then we went to see one apartment and it meet all of our needs, but I couldn't understand why…when I got out of that apartment I was angry. I wasn’t excited, I was just angry for some reason. My boyfriend really liked it and began the process of negotiating the price and getting all the application details. The next couple of days, I was still very angry, so I decided to talk to my therapist about it. While we were talking I realized that this wasn't the place for me, my intuition was screaming NO to me! So, after I finished my session, I called my boyfriend and told him about my feeling about that place, so we decided to go see other apartments.

I can't tell you how hard it was for me to actually trust my intuition. It was something that I wanted to work towards - hearing, listening and trusting my intuition - but it was never something that I had ever done before. I would just do the safe thing, the easiest thing, instead of waiting for the thing that lit me up!

MY FEARS:

My fears were screaming, but what if this is the only apartment that's actually good and for a good price? What if we don't find one anywhere else? Then, it's all my fault! I’m the one to blame! Some really deep fears and beliefs around this came up for me, that I really had to face and challenge. It definitely wasn't easy!

So, as we kept looking, at one point the apartments started to get better and my hopes were starting to go up because there were definitely times when I didn't want to see another apartment. We saw a couple of apartments that were great and we could see us living in, but they still didn’t feel like the one.

I then had to get really clear on what I wanted. I remember telling my partner - I want us to see our apartment and KNOW this is the one!! I want us to both immediately apply for the place that night because we want it that bad! I even wrote a scenario down, how future me would feel about the place. Feeling the feelings before we even found the place. Getting into that feeling place and getting really clear on the vision, I think was the thing that really created my manifestation into form.

THE ONE:

We found an ad on Kijiji and we messaged the landlord to go and see the place. We arrived on time on a very chilly winter day and waited outside as the person that was showing us was running late. When she arrived, we learned that we had to wait for the keys to be brought by another person as someone accidentally took them home. So, we waited outside in the cold for nearly an hour. It really took patience for us to not just go home. But for some reason, I remember thinking that this is all happening for a reason. When we finally got into see the place…the first thing I said was ‘WOAHHH’ it had the biggest living room. And then we kept walking through and it was just everything we wanted and more! As soon as we got back to the car, we were both in agreement that we had to have this place, we loved it! So, we applied with all our application stuff. And we were accepted!!!

The thing is apartment hunting is stressful. It takes time and patience. And if you are clear on what you want and listen to your intuition no matter what, you will find what you are looking for, I promise you!

MY LIST:

Bathtub

Lots of sunlight

Outdoor space

Big bedrooms

Space for my office

Big kitchen counter

BIG

Dishwasher

And out of my list, there was only one thing that I didn't get, a dishwasher. But do you think I was disappointed by that – HELL NO! I’m extremely thankful for the rest. I'm also just grateful that I can create a list and find almost all the things on it. I’m very privileged to have this opportunity and very grateful to have a roof over my head!

Here are some tips to manifest the perfect apartment:

MANIFESTING THE APARTMENT:

Get really clear

Feel the feelings of having it

Listen to your intuition no matter what

If you aren’t excited, then it's not your place

TRUST

Be grateful for the things you already have

Don't listen to anyone else’s opinions (unless you’re moving in with someone)

Do the Shadow work - if you don't believe that you can have everything that you want then you need to journal and ask yourself where those beliefs really came from

Don’t focus on when it’s going to happen, just have faith

And remember you deserve the best!!

Happy Manifesting!!
