It’s possible to change your life, and Forbes’ “queen of manifesting” Roxie Nafousi is here to show you how to do it. In her newest book, Manifest in Action, readers learn exactly how to unlock their limitless potential, create lasting, transformative change, and turn dreams into reality. Read an excerpt below.
The night before we entered 2022, I sat down, as I do every year, to make my new-year vision board. I set the scene by lighting my favorite candles and then I lay down on my yoga mat and sank into a deep state of relaxation as I followed a guided visualization meditation. Afterward I got out a large sheet of card and started writing down, in detail, all the goals I had for the next year. I dreamt big.
My debut book, MANIFEST: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life, was six days away from release and of course I had some apprehension about how it would be received. (I would be lying if I said imposter syndrome wasn’t something I battling–more on that later.) But, taking my own advice, I made sure not to allow my fear and doubt to influencer what I would put down on my vision board. I penned a heading, the MANIFEST book, and underneath it I wrote Sunday Times bestseller, America, Vogue, multiple languages. Nine days later, MANIFEST debuted at number five on the Sunday Times bestseller list (and as I write this now, it has remained on that list for the last sixteen weeks), a month later I signed with American publishing house Chronicle Prism to release the book in autumn 2022, and then shortly after that British Vogue dedicated an entire article to the book and named it “2022’s answer to The Secret.” Oh, and MANIFEST has been translated into seventeen languages and counting.
Can you imagine what my younger self would have thought of all this? I often think about that, and about the person I was less than four years ago: an extremely lost girl, battling addiction with zero self-worth, no career prospects, and who had never really known what it was like to be happy. I wonder what I would tell her. I think I would say this: Life is wonderful and you have the power to make it so.
It’s hard to put into words how the last few months have felt. It’s as thought I’ve been thrust into a magical whirlwind, fueled by manifestation, and the response to, and reach of, my little orange book has been completely mind-blowing. Manifesting is a practice that means so much to me, one that has transformed my life beyond recognition. I live and breathe the steps that I teach, and I wholeheartedly believe they have the power to transform the lives of anybody and everybody that follows them. I am honored, humbled, and in a permanent state of deep gratitude that I have been able to share what I have learned with so many of you.
While my first book MANIFEST was the introduction to my unique seven-step guide to manifesting, in this book you will dive deeper into the inner healing required to really unlock your limitless potential. I will be presenting new ideas and concepts to help expand your understanding of the practice, and also answering some of the questions I have been asked most frequently. For example, why should I put my vision board away? How do I stop caring so much about what other people will think? Do I have to be positive all the time to manifest the things I want? How do I know the difference between a test from the universe and a sign that I need to change direction?
What makes this book so unique, though, is that it is also filled with practical exercises for you to complete, which will encourage the self-reflection, self-awareness, and clarity needed to empower and up-level your manifestation practice. I encourage you to work through this book slowly, taking your time with each exercise and giving yourself the space and opportunity to feel the effects of them. By the time you reach the final page, you will have a greater understanding of yourself and what you really want from your life, and you will have begun healing parts of yourself that you may never have even known needed healing. You will be living more authentically, you will be manifesting powerfully and effortlessly, and you will know what you nee to do to ensure that you are living a life that finally brings you the contentment and fulfillment that you so deserve.
I may have been the author of MANIFEST, and my name may sit on the cover of this one, but as you dive deeper into my seven steps to manifesting and work through the exercises provided, you will be required to become the writer and storyteller. You will learn how to be your own healer, your own guru, and in doing so you really will become the author of your own story. What could be more powerful than that?
