Can I really change my life?

As a deeply spiritual person, I do believe that we create our own circumstances in life. I dearly want to move out of my dirty, noisy, polluted town into the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, where most of my friends live. I have my eye on a lovely lively village environment where I could grow my own fruit and veggies and keep chickens for fresh eggs. This is my idea of the good life. Now what is getting in my way is that my mother dearly wanted to move away from the London area but because of her job got stuck for over 30 years! As her career depended on being in a busy London borough, it wasn't possible for her to change her life without huge upheaval to our family. I no longer work but am therefore not in a financially-comfortable position to just 'up sticks' and move. I am trying all the usual 'Cosmic tricks' of positive visualisation and daily affirmations that I have already won the prize but I'm humanly-tired of waiting for good things to manifest in my life! Has using 'all the tricks' ever worked for you or someone you know?
