Does Manifesting Even Work?

I overheard a phone call - someone speaking to their sibling about ‘manifesting’ an outcome. I think it might’ve been for a partner or relationship…

I couldn't help but pull this face a little 😬

Realistically, either way, just saying ‘I’m manifesting it’ doesn’t work. Proclaiming ‘I’m going to win the lottery this week’ won’t make you a millionaire. Statistically you’ve got the same chance as stepping outside on a sunny day and being struck by lightning.

Like, it might happen; just don’t count on it.

I’m not dissing the powers of positive thinking, and I agree that you have to be ‘in it to win it’, but manifestation is more than just vibes.

Manifestation involves aligning our thoughts, emotions, and actions towards our goals, and actively taking steps to achieving them. It requires a positive mindset and consistent effort. 

Things like goal setting, planning, habit creation - all as important as self belief (not even belief, you’ve gotta KNOW you’re gonna slay).

Taking actions is critical. 

Also consider creating a vision board. This visual representation of your goals and dreams serves as a constant reminder of what you want to manifest. It might sound silly, but placing images, words, or symbols that resonate with your desires on your board reinforces your intentions and keeps them at the forefront of your mind.

Another powerful action is practising gratitude. Expressing gratitude for what you already have creates an abundant mindset and attracts more positivity into your life. For real. Take a few moments each day to acknowledge and appreciate the blessings around you – no matter how big or small.

Remember, real magic happens when we actively engage both our minds and bodies to manifest our dreams and goals. ✨
