Stop “Claiming It” — Start Creating It: Discovering the Power That’s Already Within You

Today, while posting my most recent blog across social media, I took a few moments to scroll. And what I saw honestly blew me away.

Post after post promised “abundance,” “good fortune,” or “miracles coming your way.” And below each one were hundreds — sometimes thousands — of comments filled with “I claim it!” or “So it is!”

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good manifestation vibe. But this realization hit me hard:

We have faith that liking a post or typing “I claim it” will change our lives…
but we don’t have that same faith in ourselves.

We’re putting our belief outside of us — in algorithms, in luck, in someone else’s message — instead of placing it where it truly belongs: inside.

The truth is:

You don’t need to comment “I claim it.”
You don’t need to wait for the universe to notice your like.
You simply need to remember your power — and activate it intentionally.

So if you’ve caught yourself recently “claiming” your blessings during a late-night scroll, don’t feel bad. We all crave connection, hope, and a little magic. But here’s your gentle wake-up call: it’s time to stop claiming and start creating.

How to Step Into Your Power (No Likes Necessary)

Here are five steps to help you shift from passive “claiming” to active creating — and start manifesting real change from within.

1. Pause the Scroll

The next time you feel that impulse to “claim it,” take a deep breath instead.
Ask yourself: What is this post really awakening in me?
Is it desire, hope, envy, longing? Whatever it is, it’s showing you where your soul is ready to grow.

2. Name What You Truly Want

Don’t just claim what someone else posts. Get specific about your dream.
What does abundance, love, or peace look like for you?
Write it down. The moment you define it, you begin to give it form — that’s where creation starts.

3. Believe in Your Own Power

Instead of saying “I claim it,” try saying:

“I create it. I am capable. I am ready.”
This tiny shift in language moves you from wishful thinking to energetic alignment. You’re no longer waiting — you’re participating.

4. Take One Aligned Action

Manifestation is momentum. Do one small thing today that supports your intention.
If you’re claiming abundance, look at your finances with clarity.
If you’re claiming love, show love — to yourself or someone else.
If you’re claiming peace, create a moment of quiet.
Every action says to the Universe, “I’m serious about this.”

5. Trust the Timing, but Keep Moving

Trust doesn’t mean sitting still — it means moving in faith.
When you keep showing up with consistency and self-belief, the universe meets you halfway. Your “claim” becomes your creation because your energy, thoughts, and actions are aligned.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to chase every post that promises blessings.
You are the blessing.

So the next time you see one of those “Claim it!” posts, take it as a reminder — not to type in the comments, but to tune in to your own magic.

Because the real power to change your life isn’t found in your feed…
It’s found in you.
