What Is Manifesting? 7 Things You Need To Do With It

What is manifesting, exactly?

In simple words, manifesting is the ability to attract something and bring it into reality using the power of our minds, feelings, and belief. Also, it is the conscious creation of a vision for the future and putting all your effort & energy into making the vision a reality. When we understand what we want for our life experience, we focus on it and create those outcomes; this is manifesting.

Manifesting comes from the ancient principle, the law of attraction, which means you can attract or manifest what you want in life with positive thoughts and actions. With enough practice and intentional energy, you can manifest anything- it can be a new job, a dream vacation, good grades, a successful business, a loving relationship, or better health. 

The manifestation was popularized by a self-help book and a documentary by Rhonda Byrne named “The Secret.” The 30 million copies of this best-selling book were sold around the globe, encouraging people to visualize the goals to attract what they want.

Besides, the thought leaders, including Oprah Winfrey, Eckhart Tolley, Deepak Chopra, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Iyanla Vanzant, have spoken about it and supported the manifestation process they have used to achieve their goals.

Does manifestation actually work?

The idea of manifestation is really accurate, and it does work. Once you understand the logic behind it, you’ll realize we all are subconsciously manifesting in our lives. But when we consciously focus our thoughts & mindset on the goal we want, that’s where manifestation works. 

There is also little scientific evidence that manifestation works. However, most mental health specialists recommend this practice. So, it works, but we need to live by the rules of reality to create reality. Like, if you want to manifest billions of dollars overnight- that is not realistic. It does not happen instantly, and the process takes time. 

Most importantly, negative thoughts and limiting beliefs can be hurdles to manifesting what you want. If you don’t believe you are able to do this, then you won’t be able to do this. You have to trust the process and the journey you’re on. Your mind is a magnet, so you’ll attract what you think. Achieving your goals is possible- first and foremost, you’ve to believe in yourself.

Manifestation doesn’t happen overnight; what do you need to do?

Although manifesting is about turning your dreams into reality. But, if you think you’ll be a billionaire overnight or manifest a new home in a day- that’s far from reality. Manifestation does not happen overnight; you need more for it than just thoughts and willpower. So, what do you need to do? 

Let’s discuss effective manifestation methods to focus on where you want to be. So, open your mind, be ready to play the long game, and let’s get manifesting!

1. Begin manifestation by setting your goals 

The first step towards manifestation is setting clear goals. You need to be crystal clear about what you want, whether it’s a new job, new home, or new partner; know it and make it as precisely as possible.

What do you want? Why do you want to manifest it? What will it add to your file?

Your answers should be concise, so you have a clear picture of the goals in your mind. It’s also suggested to create a vision board, write your goals with images, and hang it somewhere you see it every day. Creating a vision board and seeing it every day will remind you to keep going.

2. Start working on your goals

Once you set your goals, it’s time to take action. Start working on your goals with positive intentions. Also, make actionable goals that are achievable and realistic.

If you want to lose weight, start doing a 10-minute workout or a walk daily. If you wish to change your career, spend 20 minutes daily looking for openings or reaching out to employers via email.

As we discussed, manifesting takes some time to work, especially if you want to manifest something big. There can be obstacles or setbacks, and here, your dedication will be tested. Therefore, be patient in the process and stay consistent. 

Your patience will carry you through hurdles and make you cross the finish line. Break down your long-term goals into small steps, work on them daily, have faith in yourself, and trust the process.

5. Small progress is still a progress

A manifestation usually takes work and time. Therefore, it’s important to celebrate small successes. If you’re making little progress, it means you’re progressing and moving closer to your goals. Small progress is as valuable as a big one. 

So, appreciate your progress and write it down in your manifestation journal; it’ll help you keep moving forward and enjoy the process.
