How To Manifest Anything Good In Your Life

Manifesting is the idea of bringing your desires into reality that gained popularity in the 2000’s after the release of the Law of Attraction.

Tips how to manifest something range from using affirmations to practicing visualization.

When you put effort into applying these techniques into your life, you make it more likely what you desire will happen.

The way it becomes more likely to happen is you’re more motivated to make it happen, and you help yourself be more aware of opportunities for your desires to come true.

The ideas we believe, the thoughts we have, and just about everything around us can influence how we live our lives.

So, through these manifestation techniques, you arrange your thoughts, beliefs, and surroundings in a way that influences you to accomplish your dreams and goals in life.

This isn’t magic. It’s not some wish that you spend time really hoping for and just wait and sit around doing nothing until it happens.

It’s intentionally persuading yourself into doing more of what you need to do to get what you want in life.

If you feel a little skeptical, you’ll be happy to know a lot of these techniques are backed by science.

With all of that said, here are ways you can manifest what you desire into reality.

How To Manifest

1. Speak and write affirmations about what you want

Whenever you write affirmations, you’re helping to focus your mind on the desires that you want to happen.

In a previous article, I mentioned a study that pointed to the fact that speaking and writing affirmations has been proven to help lead to behavioral changes.

There’s really science to the idea of focusing on something, and that focus eventually guiding you towards actions that allow you to get it.

Beyond the science, there have been real life success stories that people have shared with others.

As an example, Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert, has credited affirmations for his success in cartooning and life in general.

Initially, he was skeptical of the concept after a grad student told him that it helped her, but he decided to do it to prove her wrong.

To his surprise, Adams had found that the affirmations helped him get a high score on a test, make money off a stock, and date a really attractive woman.

He would eventually start writing it down 15 times a day that he would be a famous cartoonist and ended up accomplishing his childhood dream.

Affirmations are a critical piece to manifesting the desires you have for your life. Here are two articles that you might find helpful to creating your own affirmation.

2. Visualize and feel yourself having those things

If you want to see something happen in your life, see it in your mind first. That’s the easiest place you can start bringing your desire into reality.

But there’s also power in using your imagination. I’ve previously cited this Psychology Today article that showed a variety of competitors used visualization to succeed.

Some of the top competitors in the world from Tiger Woods to Muhammed Ali used them with great success.

But beyond the success stories, once again, the science has backed it up. In the PT article, it notes a study involving finger abduction, that proved participants developed more finger abduction strength if they used visualization.

When you visualize, imagine the thing you want to happen happening. Feel the feelings that you think you would feel as it happens.

Really submerse yourself in the experience being real to help manifest that desire. You may be surprised how real it becomes someday.

3. Make a vision board

Vision boards are another great tactic for manifestation. The practice generally involves cutting out pictures that represent your desires and placing them on the board.

You put it in a place you can see everyday and help keep your focus on achieving that goal you have.

Among the people who’ve successfully used vision boards to manifest their desires include Katy Perry and Oprah Winfrey.

Katy Perry made one with her being a successful singer someday, while Oprah made one with her wearing a dress for the day she hoped Barack Obama was elected president.

Create one of your own and see how it helps move the manifestation process forward.

4. Believe your desires can happen

If you don’t believe you can manifest your dreams and goals, then you’re basically ensuring that it won’t happen.

As I’ve stressed throughout this article, our thoughts influence our actions and decisions.

If you don’t believe you can do well on a test, then you won’t study as much for it, and you likely won’t do well.

If you don’t believe you can get the job you’re interviewing for, then you won’t choose to confidently detail your qualifications, and you likely won’t get the job.

The same logic applies with what you want to manifest for yourself. Be intentional about believing that the life you want to bring to reality can happen.

5. Look for the opportunities

The pathway to your successful manifestation isn’t just going to run towards you, jump up and down, and say, “Come this way!”

You have to go out and look for it. In some cases, that right pathway you’ve been needing to take may have been right in front of you the whole time.

You’d be amazed at how when you truly focus on making something happen, the answers and solutions that can help will be more visible to you.

6. Be consistent in working towards your goal

Putting in work is a necessary component of any manifesting. If you don’t do any work, nothing will happen.

People can get frustrated that they’re manifestation hasn’t happened you, but they’re not doing anything accept wishing and hoping.

We all have to put in our own time to find the resources and information we need to succeed. We all have to take the actions necessary for something to happen.

If you’re consistent in the work you’re putting in to achieve your goals, sooner or later, you’re going to manifest that success into reality.

Here are a few examples of consistent work that paid off:

Thomas Edison failed at the light bulb a thousand times before making it successfully work.
Henry Ford failed multiple times in business before becoming successful in the car business.
Abraham Lincoln lost multiple political races before becoming President of the United States.
Lucille Ball had a number of failed movies before becoming a success as the lead in “I Love Lucy”.

Final thoughts on manifesting

Manifesting what you desire usually takes time. There are articles out there that say it can happen overnight, and if it does for you, great.

But if it doesn’t happen that soon, be patient. With persistence, you can eventually the manifest the life you’ve always wanted.
