How to start Manifesting
A Beginner’s Guide to Manifestation Techniques That Actually Work
First Things First: What Is Manifesting?
Manifesting gets a bad rap, often served with a side of toxic positivity and vague promises about “high vibes only.”
But real manifesting is much more grounded than that. It’s about getting clear on what you want, believing it's possible, and taking consistent action to support it, all while working with (not against) your inner dialogue.
It’s not magic. It’s mindset + intention + micro-movements.
Why Manifesting Actually Works. Even If You’re a Bit Skeptical
Your thoughts shape your focus. What you pay attention to, you notice more of. That’s basic brain science.
When you use manifestation techniques consistently, you train your brain to:
- Notice opportunities
- Reduce self-sabotage
and keep going even when doubt creeps in. It’s not a miracle. It’s momentum, built daily.
How to Manifest: Start Here
We’ve broken it down into five steps that even the most cynical beginner can try.
1. Get Clear on What You Actually Want
Not “a better life” or “more money.” Be specific.
Instead of:
“I want more confidence”
Try:
“I want to feel calm speaking up in meetings and trust myself when I do.”
Clarity isn’t for the universe. It’s for you. The clearer you are, the easier it is to take aligned action (and notice when things start working).
2. Visualise It. Then Feel It
Take two minutes a day to imagine yourself living that version of your life. The goal isn’t to fake it, but to train your nervous system to feel safe with the change you want.
Try asking:
- How does future-you walk into a room?
- What’s their tone of voice like?
- What decisions feel obvious to them?
You’re not pretending. You’re rehearsing.
🧠 Research backs this - visualisation improves motivation, focus, and emotional regulation.
3. Catch the Thought Spiral Before It Spirals
If your brain's shouting “You’re not good enough” on loop, it’s hard to manifest anything but more self-doubt.
You don’t have to bulldoze negative thoughts. But you can interrupt them.
Ask:
“Would future-me believe this?”
If not - let it go.
Or try a manifesting hypnotherapy session to gently rewire the beliefs holding you back.
4. Take One Small, Brave Step
Manifesting isn’t about vision boards gathering dust. It’s about movement.
Ask yourself:
- What action would future-me take today?
- What small thing can I do that nudges me forward?
Manifestation without action is just fantasy. But the good news? You don’t have to leap. You just have to nudge.
5. Trust the Process (Even If It Feels Slow)
You’ll be tempted to control the outcome, timeline, and every tiny step along the way. Try not to.
Set the intention. Show up. Stay open.
Manifesting is more like planting than pushing - the work is invisible for a while, but it’s still happening.
