Manifestation is the basic idea that you can achieve your goals and desires through positive thinking and willpower.[1] This concept plays into the law of attraction, an idea that you can attract positive things if you give off positive energy.[2] So, how can you do this? Keep reading to learn how you can manifest anything and achieve your goals.
Things You Should Know
- Create goals to manifest by setting clear intentions. Ask yourself what you want most in life, and then determine what can help you achieve this dream.
- Think about your goals in the present tense. For instance, if you want good grades, think, “I am smart and pass my next exam.”
- Practice gratitude and surround yourself with positivity. The more positive your outlook is on life, the more likely your manifestations will come true.

Set clear intentions. It’s important to have specific, concrete goals when you’re manifesting something. Write your main goals and desires in a list to set your intentions.[3] If you’re feeling stuck, ask yourself what you want most in life. Then, consider what steps you have to take to reach this goal or dream.[4]- For example, perhaps you want to make more money. You might have a goal to get a promotion at work or invest in a company.
Use positive affirmations to affirm your goals. Reword your desires into positive, present-tense affirmations. These affirmations can help cultivate positive energy and motivate you.[5]- For instance, if you wish for love, your affirmation may be, “I will find a loving and supportive partner.”
- Instead of thinking, “I want a ton of money,” think, “I’m a confident business person who will get a promotion.”

Start a journal or create a vision board. Documenting your goals and dreams can actually help you achieve them. Dedicate a journal to your self-reflections and manifestations, writing down every desire and how you’ll accomplish them. Make a vision board with pictures or words describing your goals and dreams. Then, hang it where you can see it every day or save it as your phone’s screensaver.[6]
Take steps toward your goal each day. Manifestation isn’t a magic trick—it’s about working with the universe to reach greater heights. Brainstorm different tasks that’ll help you achieve and manifest your desires.[7] Work on these small goals each day to bring yourself one step closer to your overall goals.[8]- For instance, if your goal is to find love, one of your daily goals might be signing up for an online dating website or downloading a dating app.
- If you’d like to get your dream job, a daily goal could be fine-tuning your resume and browsing different job-hunting sites.
- Don’t be afraid to change things up as you work toward your goal. Try taking a new route to work, or setting your alarm for earlier. Small changes may open doors to bigger opportunities.
Practice gratitude. It can be easy to get caught up in the negatives or to feel ungrateful if you aren’t seeing results. Resist the urge to feel or think negatively—instead, make an effort to be thankful for the positive things in your life, which will send positive energy out into the world.[9]- For instance, you might give thanks for a sunny day or a fun afternoon spent with friends.
- Reframe negative thoughts into positive ones to gain a positive outlook on life.[10] Rather than thinking, “Only 6 people watched my live stream. I’ll never be a popular streamer,” think, “6 people watched my live stream—that’s more people than live in my house! Slow progress is still progress.”
Visualize your desires with meditation. Meditation is a great tool that can help calm your body while opening your mind. Take a few moments each day to close your eyes, sit still, and visualize your hopes and dreams. This can help you manifest your desires while cultivating positive energy and reducing stress.[11]
Surround yourself with positive people. Who you hang out with really does matter. Find friends in those who support you no matter what and aim to lift you up rather than tear you down. Their positive energy can help fuel you to chase your dreams and manifest your desires.[12]
Ask the universe for help. There’s no hard and fast way to do this—what matters most is that your thoughts and intentions are crystal clear. You might say your desires out loud, write a letter to the universe, or create a special “future box” full of pictures and items related to your goals. Above all, focus on stating or presenting your goals in a clear, concrete way.[13]
Let go and trust the process. Manifestation doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a continuous process fueled by your belief and faith that you can and will reach your goals. So, take a deep breath and have patience. Let go of the need for things to happen right away, and trust that everything happens at the right moment.[14]
Believe in yourself. Manifestation centers around your relationship with the universe, and working toward a larger goal or desire. View the entire universe as different forms of energy. When it comes to manifestation, you need to believe and acknowledge that your thoughts are a unique energy that will help bring your goals and desires to life.[15] To do this, believe you can do anything you set your mind to.

Article SummaryX
Manifestation is the process of achieving your goals with positive thinking and willpower. Choose something specific that you want, like finding a new job or meeting a partner with the same interests as you, and then focus your thoughts and energy on that thing. Manifestation isn't magic—you'll still need to take steps to work toward your goal each day and change habits that are holding you back. It's just a way of really focusing on what you want, staying positive, and feeling confident that you'll achieve your goal, which will actually make getting what you want easier. There's no one single way of manifesting something. You can experiment with different things that work best for you. Some people finding meditating on their goal helpful, while other people like to create a "vision board" filled with pictures of their goal to help them stay motivated. For more ideas that can help you succeed at manifesting things, check out the full article below!
