How To Write Manifestations To Unlock Your Best Life

Manifesting is a tool you hear about all the time. Whether it’s manifestation quotes, manifesting through meditation, or making a trendy vision board for manifesting your goals for the year to come it’s EVERYWHERE! A lot of people associate manifestation with finding a soulmate and achieving a “Notebook” worthy love story, but it’s so much more than that. 

Manifestations are powerful tools for literally every area of your life, not just your love life (though they can help that, too!). Career abundance, personal growth, health and wellness you name it, there’s a manifestation process for it. Regardless of what you’re aiming to achieve, writing down your intentions helps focus that energy and direct it to your goals. 

When you put pen to paper, you’re not just dreaming anymore you’re actively setting the stage for success. That’s why today, we’re sharing a guide on how to write manifestations that actually work. Ready to elevate your life and achieve your goals? Let’s dive in!

How To Write Manifestations: A Little Work For A Huge Reward

Before we jump into the secret method for manifesting and provide some inspo for your own gratitude list, we have to talk about the true power that manifestation holds. Understanding what it is at its core can totally shift the way you appreciate the process. 

It’s way more than wishing and waiting for things to fall into place; it’s about getting clear on your goals, desires, and dreams, and aligning your mindset with what you truly want. This episode of Almost Adulting discusses how you can even manifest a whole new life!  

When you write down your manifestations, you’re breathing life into them. You’re telling the universe what you want, and that energy, intention, and focus really show. It won’t happen overnight, of course, and this episode of Balanced Black Girl reminds you of the power of patience while you’re waiting for things to unfold. But, using journaling to manifest? That’s the secret to turning those dreams into reality.

Listen to this episode of The Dream Bigger Podcast for more on why journaling your manifestations is a game-changer.

What Is Manifestation?

Manifestation is all about transforming your desires into your reality. Instead of keeping them inside and hoping for them to come true, bring them to life through creative visualization. Focus on the things you want, pour energy into them by writing them down, and let the universe work its magic!

Manifestation myths make people skeptical, but here’s where they get it twisted: it isn’t about being silent and crossing your fingers. You can’t just do a quick 369 method once and wonder why nothing’s shifting! The true power lies in consistency, clarity, and real belief.

Another common misconception is that manifestation only works for “big” stuff like finding your soulmate or landing that dream job. But trust us, you can manifest anything. Tune into this episode of Well with Arielle Lorre to understand the importance of manifesting things you truly want. It’s not about luck or magic; it’s about an attitude of gratitude. The energy you put out is the energy you get back. 

Once you shift into that abundance mindset, start writing your affirmations for success, and channel your focus into your manifestation journal entries, you’ll be amazed at how the world opens up to you.

How To Write Down Manifestations

Step 1: Set yourself up for success. 

If you’re sitting down to begin your manifestation journey, make sure you have all the tools you need for absolute success! Hit play on this episode of Almost Adulting for some vibrational music, grab your “Luckiest Girl” notebook, and get cozy in a calm, relaxing place. Now you’re in the zone! 

Step 2: Get clear on what you truly want. 

Before you even pick up that pen to start your writing process, get super clear on your desires. What do you truly want? Pinpoint one of the ideas we just listed above, and make sure you’re laser-focused on it. The clearer your vision, the more powerful your manifestation will be.

Step 3: Use positive, present tense language only. 

You HAVE to write your manifestations in the present tense. Write them as if they’re already happening. Instead of saying, “I want to be successful,” write, “I am thriving in my career, I am successful, and I’m already seeing my efforts pay off.” 

This is essential in obtaining that positive energy flow. Instead of “it could happen,” you’re writing it as if it is happening because it will!

Step 4: Be specific; don’t leave anything out. 

When you write your manifestations in specific details, the more powerful it becomes. It just makes sense, right? You can still attract what you’re manifesting without being specific, but it’ll be a super watered-down version of what you truly wanted. 

Instead of “I want more money,” try writing, “I am attracting a $2,000 raise in the coming weeks through new opportunities.” The universe loooooves those specific details. 

Step 5: Focus on your feelings and keep it positive. 

Focus on how you will feel when the manifestation is real, and channel that! We can’t stress enough how important energy is. And stay positive negative language won’t help your cause here. 

Avoid writing things like “I don’t want to be stressed,” and stick to things like “I am living a stress-free and content lifestyle.” See the difference? It’s all about keeping those vibes light and positive.

Step 6: Add gratitude at the end of each manifestation. 

At the end of each entry, end it with a statement of gratitude. This amps up the energy you’re already putting out and helps build that foundation of positive attraction. Something like, “Thank you for the blessings I’m receiving and the blessings yet to come” is perfect. 

Listen to some of the best gratitude podcasts to keep that energy going. 

Now that you know how to write manifestations successfully, what will you ask the universe to send your way?

The life you want is much more attainable than you may think you just have to dedicate a little extra time and energy to manifesting it! With these key tips and tricks, you’ll live a life of gratitude and abundance in no time.
