10 Manifesting Methods
The Power of Positive Thoughts
Manifestation begins with harnessing the power of positive thoughts. The common saying is that “Your thoughts shape your reality,” so maintaining a positive mindset is key. You have to replace those nagging negative thoughts with uplifting ones.
Do this by filling your brain with manifesting quotes and affirmations that align with your goals. They help you build good energy inside of you and when it comes to manifesting, how you feel matters.
Try to start manifesting every day positive affirmations and remind yourself of your dreams and aspirations. Over time, this practice rewires your belief system and attracts positivity into your life. Listen to the episode of The Blonde Files called Creating the Life You Desire Through Transformational Thinking and the episode of The Balanced Blonde about manifesting your dreams. They’re some of our fave episodes!!
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is the cornerstone of manifestation. It’s the belief that like attracts like. Basically, by emitting positive vibes and thoughts, you draw positive experiences into your life. This is a super simple concept you can apply right now!
You learn to visualize your goals, feel the emotions associated with them, and trust that the universe will deliver. The more you believe, the more you’ll attract. Get the DL on this form of manifestation in this episode of Dear Gabby and this episode of The Balanced Blonde: Soul on Fire.
Creating a Vision Board
A vision board is a visual representation of your goals. It’s a fun and creative way to manifest your goals. You can find images and words that resonate with your desires and arrange them on a board. Both the materials and the arrangement matter, so be intentional about everything! If you have big career goals, make sure you listen to the episode of The Career Contessa that talks about visualization and uncovering your personal themes of success.
Remember to place your vision board where you’ll see it daily. Try your bedroom, office, living room, or literally put it on your front door. You just gotta see it all the time! The visual stimulation reinforces your belief in what’s possible and helps you make it happen!
Morning Manifestation Ritual
Start your day with intentionality and positivity by incorporating a morning manifestation ritual. Having a set time in the morning to manifest sets a powerful tone for the rest of your day. When you have a morning routine with manifesting built-in, you are sure to channel the perfect vibes and energy for the rest of your day.
Spend a few quiet moments in the morning visualizing your goals, expressing gratitude, setting positive intentions, and sipping tea out of your Shift Your Energy mug. These actions activate your subconscious mind and bring you all good things. If you need help, Payton Sartain from Note to Self can help you create the perfect morning routine.
Journaling Your Goals
Journaling involves writing down your goals, dreams, and aspirations. Putting pen to paper helps clarify your desires and makes them feel more tangible. Dedicate time each day to write about your goals. Be specific and descriptive, and revisit your journal regularly to track your progress. This will def manifest all the good sh*t!

Affirmations and Positive Affirmations
Affirmations are short, positive statements that reinforce your belief in your goals. They’re a crazy powerful tool for reshaping your mindset. Create a list of positive affirmations related to your goals and repeat them all the time.
Do it when you wake up, when you’re ice rolling, when you’re driving, when you’re exercising, when you’re cooking—whenever you get the chance. The repetition ingrains them in your subconscious mind, boosting your belief in their attainment.
