Let’s talk manifestation ladies!
Whether you’re new to manifestation or have long believed in its power without feeling the universe respond, I’m here to guide you to make manifestation work for you.
Manifestation is about hope and using our energy to bring life to our desires through the help of the Universe, higher power, or Source.
Whatever you choose to call this greater power.
If you’re here, you must believe in something bigger than yourself.
To me, it feels like there is something bigger that guides us along this journey we call life. Something a little uncontrollable some may say.
But you feel it, don’t you? It’s undeniable.
Through this guide, I’ll teach you how to harness the power within you to attract what truly resonates with your soul.
Imagine: by letting go of what no longer serves you, you make space for the incredible opportunities that align with your deepest aspirations.
You just need to be open to receiving the opportunities that allow this to transpire.
Together we’re going to embark on a journey of positivity, intention, and a small dash of cosmic magic to lead the way to manifest what you want in life.
This blog post is all about How to Manifest What You Want in Life.
What is Manifestation & How Does It Work?
Manifestation is the art of transforming your dreams into reality through the power of focused intention and belief.
It’s based on the principle that “like attracts like”, also known as the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction states that positive thoughts and actions bring positive outcomes into your life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.
In other words, if you have a positive mindset, you will attract success while having a negative mindset could create the opposite result.
When we actively manifest what we want in life we are maintaining positive thoughts and visualizing our desires as if we’ve already achieved them.
This is believed to create a magnetic field that draws corresponding experiences into our lives.
But manifestation isn’t just about wishful thinking, it’s grounded in our thoughts, emotions, and actions toward specific goals.
Many people use manifestation as a powerful tool for clarity and goal setting. To help spark motivation and create optimism. It helps us take the action that brings us closer to our goals.
When you manifest what you want in life you are telling the Universe you are open to receive the opportunities needed to achieve your desires.
The Universe responds to our actions by amplifying what we project.
This means if you only see sadness and loss in your life, that’s what you attract.
If instead, you view life as full of abundance, love, and joy, the Universe will respond by sending you more of those.
Now manifesting your life’s desires isn’t a one-time request. It takes continuous practice.
Daily commitment to positive thoughts and creating openness to opportunities re-trains our minds to see life differently.
To see it in a positive light.
Through manifestation, we not only envision our ideal future but actively participate in creating it, one positive thought at a time.
5 Steps to Manifest What You Want In Life
1. Set Clear Intentions
The first thing you need to do to manifest what you want in life is to know what you want.
This may seem straightforward, but many people struggle to pinpoint what their true desires are when reflecting.
This is important.
You can’t ask the Universe for something if you don’t know what you’re asking for.
So, to help you I’ve come up with a few tips to figure out what you want in life.
First off, don’t listen to what other people say, you need to go deep inside and decide for yourself what is important to you.
Maybe it’s something physical like a new car, or that house you’ve always dreamed of.
I suggest taking your time and really defining your values.
Figure out what is truly important to you, and what you want more of in your life.
Maybe you want more free time, time with family, more traveling, or to not stress about finances.
Here are a few great ways you can figure out what is important to you besides just sitting in silence and overthinking about it.
Because we all know we’ve tried this approach before, and it doesn’t really work…
Journaling About Your Desires
Write it all down.
You can do a giant brain dump of all your thoughts and desires, or if you need some pointers try asking yourself these important questions:
- What’s important to me? (Ignore everyone else’s opinion.)
- What kind of person do I want to be?
- What brings me true joy?
- If I didn’t have to worry about fears or boundaries, what would I have? Where would I go? What type of person would I be?
- What do I want to leave behind in this world? Is there an impact I want to make?
Scripting Your New Life
Scripting is another amazing way to set the stage for the new life and new identity you’re creating.
When you script you are writing like these things you desire have already happened. For example, a scripted sentence around financial success might be “I am so excited and filled with joy that my business made X amount of money this month and now I own my dream car X because of it.”
When scripting it always helps to add emotion into it because that’s how your body remembers, it feels through emotions.
Create a Vision Board
If journaling or scripting isn’t your thing then you can also try creating a vision board to manifest what you want in life.
Vision boards are a great way to manifest because you are creating a visual, and I know for me personally I always remember better when I see something like a picture, photo, etc.
When you continuously look at a vision board the images you’ve chosen get ingrained into your mind. This helps to instill the idea that this life you see every day on your vision board is yours and will come true.
It helps to instill these thoughts into your subconscious mind.
You can create a physical vision board by printing off photos and putting them onto a picture frame or blank canvas.
Once you’ve made your physical vision board, you have to place it somewhere you are going to see it multiple times per day.
If you work from home, putting it in your home office is a great place. This will help keep you motivated to continue working towards your goals. Or you can hang it in your bedroom or any other area you are in many times during the day.
You can also create a virtual vision board through a program like Canva and then use that as the background on your computer or phone. Using a vision board as a computer or phone background is another good idea because how many times do you look at your phone or computer… I bet a lot.
It’s all about ingraining this image of your new life into your mind.
These are a few great points to help you dig deep and find what truly calls to you.
This is the first step in how you manifest what you want in life.
2. Creating Faith in Your New Identity
The next step in how to manifest what you want in life is to truly believe you are worthy of it and that it’s already yours.
This might sound simple, but it’s actually one of the most challenging parts. Our minds can deceive us, and we can quickly revert to our default mindset, which is often one of negative connotations. Personally, I often battle with self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness, which I consciously work to overcome every day.
For many, overcoming self-doubt and similar thoughts is crucial. We must push past these barriers and genuinely believe deep down that we are destined for greatness and capable of achieving everything we desire.
Once these new positive thoughts become habitual, your new identity will really start to shift and transform.
To shift your mindset towards positivity, start by practicing gratitude.
Gratitude redirects our focus from scarcity to abundance. It nurtures a mindset of positivity and faith in our future.
It’s all about rewriting your life’s narrative from the sad story you keep telling yourself to one of fulfillment and joy.
And then have this new narrative on repeat in your mind.
Keep telling yourself this new positive story every single day, over and over.
When you wake up, when your mind wanders to negative self-talk, and before you go to bed.
Repetition trains your brain to accept this new narrative as reality.
This process takes time and dedication. Consistent practice ingrains this new identity until it feels natural and a part of who you are.
The goal is for our subconscious to embrace this new narrative as truth, aligning our actions and goals to manifest positive outcomes.
Affirmations for Identity Shift
A tip is to use affirmations. Have a list of affirmations ready so that when you need a little boost assisting your mind into an abundant state you have them locked and loaded.
I’ve come up with a few examples you can use:
- I am worthy of all the success, happiness, and abundance that flows into my life.
- I trust in my ability to create the life I desire.
- Every day, I am becoming the best version of myself.
- I attract positivity and love effortlessly.
- I believe in my dreams and pursue them with passion and determination.
- I release all self-doubt and fear and trust in the Universe to guide me.
- I am grateful for all the abundance that surrounds me.
- My mind is clear, focused, and aligned with my goals.
- I deserve to live a life filled with joy and fulfillment.
- I am capable, confident, and courageous in all I do.
- I am the creator of my destiny; I choose my reality with intention and purpose.
Use these affirmations to help shift your mindset towards believing in your capabilities and attracting positive outcomes that align with your desires.
And obviously, feel free to personalize them to resonate more deeply with your specific goals!

Meditation & Visualization for Manifesting Your New Life
There are two other strategies you can use to help manifest what you want in life.
Meditation and visualization!
Create a calming atmosphere with soft lighting and find a cozy spot to sit. Close your eyes and focus on your breath.
Visualize yourself in your new identity.
Confident, accomplished, thriving in all aspects of your life.
Picture the specific details, your career, relationships, and health. Every detail that reflects your desires you pinpointed at the beginning of this journey.
As you’re visualizing your new life feel the emotions of success and joy fill you up. As if it’s all happening right now. Absorb those feelings deeply.
Emotions are a powerful tool to help rewire your brain and reinforce your belief in your true potential.
Dedicate a few minutes daily to this exercise and watch how it empowers you to make choices and take actions that align with your desires and lead you closer to your dreams.
If you’re looking for some more manifestation and law of attraction inspiration I love the books The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle or Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza.
The Power of Now is a little bit of an easier read in terms that Becoming Supernatural is more about how the brain works and includes lots of studies & graphs of brain waves. If you’re into the science aspect of it Becoming Supernatural is really good.
Overall though if you don’t necessarily care for graphs The Power of Now is an amazing read with so much inspiration about manifestation and living in the present moment.
Let me know if you’ve read either of these books and what you thought! Also, if you have any other favourite manifestation book recommendations.
3. Take Action on Your Goals
Taking action is a crucial step to manifest what you want in life.
While positive thinking and belief are necessary, action is what transforms dreams into reality.
Believing in your dreams is powerful, but action is what bridges the gap between aspirations and achievements.
Start by breaking down your goals into smaller tasks. Large goals can be overwhelming. By breaking them down into smaller more manageable tasks, they seem less scary and allow you to celebrate small victories.
Which helps keep you motivated to continue moving forward.
Try also setting deadlines and milestones. Setting specific milestones can help you track your progress and having deadlines creates structure and accountability. Tailor these deadlines to help you reach your ultimate goals.
Remember to stay open to opportunities and intuition. Sometimes unexpected opportunities or gut feelings can lead to significant breakthroughs. Stay flexible and open-minded. Trust your intuition when making decisions, it often guides us towards the path that aligns best with our goals.
Make sure to stay consistent with each action. This progress reinforces your belief and commitment and brings you closer to your dreams. It’s about envisioning your success and taking persistent actions toward it.
4. Letting Go & Having Patience
Sometimes, the Universe has a way of providing us with exactly what we need when we least expect it. That’s why trusting in the Universe and having patience in this process of manifestation is so important.
There are moments when we feel like we’re doing everything possible to make our desires a reality, yet for some reason, things don’t seem to align. This is likely the Universe telling you it’s got its own timeline and plans for you.
Practice letting go.
Not feeling the need to control every outcome in your life can free you from doubts and fears that block your manifestations.
Instead, try focusing on the present moment and channeling that positive energy into your daily thoughts and actions.
Remember, what doesn’t serve your highest good will naturally fall away when you release attachment to specific outcomes.
Have faith in the Universe’s divine timing and stay open to the opportunities it gives you.
5. Maintain a Positive Mindset
Woohoo!
If you’ve made it this far in the post you’re a champ. I’ve been talking a lot about all the tips and tricks I use for how to manifest what you want in life.
Overall, there is one most important point to remember.
Stay positive.
You may think I sound like a broken record by now, which might be true… But maintaining a positive mindset is the KEY to manifesting the life you want and love.
Because we are energetic creatures and the whole Universe is made of energy it’s all intertwined and works together to create magic.
We just have to keep believing in it.
Find people who support and uplift you and surround yourself with them. Participate in activities that bring you joy and create more of a positive mindset.
Maybe you have hobbies you love, enjoy group sports, or simply grab a coffee with a friend.
Whatever it is that lights the spark in your soul keep doing it.
Don’t forget to use daily affirmations and mantras to reinforce this positive mindset shift and to maintain faith in your ability to manifest your desires.
Start Your Manifestation Journey
This is the start of how you manifest what you want in life.
Remember it’s the Law of Attraction for a reason. It works.
