What Is The Definition Of Manifesting?

To manifest means to make something evident or apparent. 

In terms of manifesting your desires, this looks like making your thoughts/ideas/desires evident or apparent.

The only way to make your thoughts/ideas/desires evident is by bringing them into this reality. 

For example, you can make the idea of wanting to wear a purple dress to your wedding evident by shopping for purple wedding dresses and wearing it to your wedding. 

Another example of this could be making the dream of becoming a singer evident by getting a vocal coach or practicing regularly. 

That’s all it is.

Having a desire, coming up with a plan, executing that plan regularly, letting go of the final outcome, and watching your desires come to life right before your eyes. 

How To Manifest The Right Way

1. Get Specific About Your Manifestation 

The very first step to manifesting something is getting specific about what you want. 

How can you manifest something if you don’t even know what you want? Ask yourself questions beyond just “What do I want?”

• Why do you want to manifest this? 
• What do you seek to gain from this? 
• How will this specific thing change your life? 

If you want to manifest a boyfriend 

• What are some characteristics about him that stand out?
• What are his hobbies? 
• What does he value in life?
• Why do you want a boyfriend?

If you want to manifest more money 

• How much money?
• How often is this new money going to come into your life? Every week, every other week, every month? 
• Where is this source of new money coming from? 
• What are you going to have to do to earn this new amount of money? 

2. Visualize Your Manifestation Ideas 

After you’ve determined what you want, you need to visualize it. 

What is visualization? I’m glad you asked. 

Visualization is when you take the time to imagine something. Usually you do this with the intention of tapping into those feelings that you will have once you’ve manifested what you wanted. 

Why do you want to do this? Two reasons: 

One, your mind processes what is real and what is imagined in the same areas of the brain. So it can be a bit difficult for your mind to distinguish the difference. 

Two, when you tap into the feelings of having your desires, it can serve as a huge motivator to keep going and keep pushing forward. 

When you’re visualizing, you want to be specific. 

Back to the example of wanting to manifest a boyfriend, you want to visualize things such as 

• Going on dates together 
• Chilling around the house together
• Traveling together 

3. Take Action For Your Manifestation Ideas

The next step to ensure your manifestation will come to fruition is to take action. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about manifesting is that many people think manifestation is all about your thoughts. 

While it is true that your thoughts do play a large factor in why your life is the way it is today, your thoughts alone are not the only reason why you are where you are today. 

Positive thinking does lead to a positive life, but it’s not the end all be all. 

You must take action. 

You can be optimistic all day long, but if you’re not taking any action consistently and regularly then don’t count on anything happening. 

Of course, you could become lucky and receive what you want without lifting a finger but this is the exception, not the rule. 

When you think of people who are where you want to be in life, I can guarantee you they got there through consistently working at it. Come up with a plan on how you’re going to achieve your manifestation ideas and take action. 

And this doesn’t have to be these huge steps either because it’s the small consistent actions that take you far, not the random huge ones. 

Putting in 10 minutes a day may not seem like much right now, but I promise you it adds up over time. 10 minutes a day will amount to 61 hours by the end of the year! 

4. Let Go Of The Final Outcome 

Another important step to manifesting is letting go of the final outcome. I know some of you may be like “Whattt?” but just hear me out. 

When you stiffly hold onto a goal or desire and leave absolutely no room for anything else in mind, you actually wind up prolonging your desire/goal. 

You attract what you are.

So if you’re a mean, nasty, rude person then you will continue to attract mean, nasty, rude people and things to you. If you’re a genuine, honest, and kind person then you will attract genuine, honest, and kind people to you. 

Now, there is a difference between going through things that are supposed to shape you as a person and unconsciously attracting something to you. 

Sometimes we wind up having things or people in our lives for a season or a reason. This is okay because it may very well be preparing you to receive what you asked for. 

There is also a difference between thinking you are a certain way and being a certain way. 

Just because you want to be a (for example) hardworking person doesn’t actually mean you are. 

You can say you’re one thing and be an entirely different person and not realize it. 

You attract what you are, not what you think you are. 

So I said all that to say that if you are desperately holding onto a certain idea or goal then it’s going to yield desperate results. 

Why? Because you’re desperate. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it’s the truth. 

Don’t be desperate. 

Have a goal in mind, come up with a plan, and take action, but don’t be desperate. Accept the fact that there is a possibility that you may wind up achieving or receiving something totally different than what you had in mind. Shit happens. 

• Does that mean that you shouldn’t work towards your goals? No. 
• Does that mean that you shouldn’t have something specific in mind? No.  

It just means that you need to be accepting of whatever God places in your life because ultimately it is up to God’s plan whether you like it or not. Still take action but have a balance of letting go and loosening up a bit. 

God may have something even greater in store for you that you couldn’t even imagine. Let go of the final outcome, and trust the process.

5. Stay Committed 

Last but certainly not least, you must stay committed. 

I would be lying to you if I said that some of these manifestation ideas will come to you instantly because to be completely honest with you this is not how things work. 

Some things just take time, especially when you’re talking about manifesting more money or a spouse.

Manifestation is not a shortcut. It’s a process and you can’t go around, you have to go through it. 

There are lessons you have to learn along the way and help you become prepared to receive your blessings. You will run across moments in your time of waiting when you face 

• Doubts 
• Not seeing any results 
• Frustrations 

And in those times you have to really drill down and stay committed. God did not bring you this far to only come this far, keep going.

Do your part, and let God do the rest. 

25 Manifestation Ideas

1. A Partner

If you’re looking to manifest a partner then you’re in luck because that is one of the most common things that people manifest into their lives. 

How do you manifest a partner? I’ve got a full guide on How To Manifest Your Soulmate just for you!

If you don’t know what to look for in a partner then I’ve also got a solid list of positive qualities to look for in an ideal partner. 

2. Marriage 

I know some of you may be thinking, “Isn’t manifesting a partner and marriage the same thing?” and the answer is no. 

Some people may not desire to get married but still desire to have a life partner. 

Some people may already have their dream partner in their life but want to manifest getting married. 

If this happens to be the case for you, then go ahead and add this to your list of things you desire to manifest. 

3. Family 

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born into a family where there’s little to no toxicity, abuse, or neglect. If this is something you can relate to, then I want you to know that there is still light at the end of the tunnel. 

You can manifest a family, whether it be a family you create with someone else or a tribe of people who really have your back (and you know it with 99.99% certainty). 

4. Kindness 

One of the more simple manifestation ideas on this list is kindness. The world could always use more kindness and positive ripple effects. 

This is also one of the quickest manifestation ideas that you can achieve. You can manifest more kindness by showing some kindness to someone right now. 

Remember, you attract what you are so if you want to manifest more kindness, then you yourself must be kind. 

5. Confidence

Similar to manifesting kindness, you can also manifest self-confidence. This will take a bit longer than manifesting kindness but is 100% doable. 

One thing that has helped me boost my confidence is this awesome self-love journal! It comes with self-love ideas, weekly affirmations, and a weekly well-being tracker.

6. Peace 

Another solid idea off this list of things to manifest is peace. This could be:

• Inner peace
• Peace for your family
• Peace on a global scale

7. Good Grades

If you’re in need of better grades, then good on you because you can manifest that too! 

Again, this is one of those manifestation ideas that may take some time and effort. 

You can’t just magically wish for a good grade at the end of a semester if the semester is almost over and all the grades are in. It doesn’t work like that. 

If it is the end of the semester and you’re panicking then you need to do two things: 

1. Stay calm
2. Talk to your professor to see if there is anything you can do

8. Good Exam Grades

On the subject of good grades, you can also manifest good exam grades as well. 

Again, you cannot magically manifest a good exam grade if you have not studied a single thing this whole time. 

Granted you could always get lucky, but this is not manifestation. That is the exception, not the rule.

9. Healthy Hair

This is another one of the manifestation ideas from this list that I was able to manifest! 

I went from having broken, damaged, and short hair to having thick healthy hair within 12 months. (I unfortunately didn’t take any pictures throughout this journey because I don’t really take of pictures of myself; otherwise I would’ve include pictures.)

Again, this is going to take effort, patience, and time, and depending on your hair goals it may even take years but it is 100% worth it and 100% possible.

10. Clear Skin

Having clear skin doesn’t have to be a fantasy; it can be something that you attain as well. 

11. Friends

If you’re struggling to make friends then I highly recommend taking this manifestation idea from the list. 

Manifesting friends is not going to be easy and you may still run across some people who disappoint you, but manifesting friends is very much possible. 

The most difficult part of this will probably be having to spend some time alone because you can’t make room for new healthy friends without letting go of some current crappy friends. 

But I can confidently tell you it’s worth the wait!

12. A Best Friend 

If you’d rather manifest a best friend instead of a group of friends then that works too! 

You don’t always need a large group of friends. Sometimes having 1 or 2 solid close friends can amount to more than 20 acquaintances.

13. Money 

Ah yes, one of the most common manifestation ideas people have: money. After all, it does make the world go round, so they say. 

14. Clients 

Instead of just manifesting money, you can also manifest more clients into your profession. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a 

• Hairdresser 
• Contractor 
• CEO of a multimillion-dollar company 

Using the most powerful manifestation technique can help you manifest more clients.  

15. Clothes

This may require other manifestation ideas to make this happen such as money or a job, but it is very much still doable. 

Don’t forget to be specific about what exactly it is you want with manifesting more clothes and why you want it. 

Do you want to manifest more clothes to become more confident or just simply because you need a new wardrobe?

16. Food

Who doesn’t love food? I know I sure do! You can manifest some new recipes, restaurants, cookbooks, or even someone to cook for you 😉

I’ve even manifested a certain dish for dinner a few times, and I didn’t even do it on purpose. 

For example, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I wanted salmon for dinner, and lo and behold I got a text in the family group chat that we were having smoked salmon for dinner, I kid you not!

17. Jewelry 

In need of some new jewelry? Go ahead and add that to your list of things to manifest because you can have it!

If you ask, then you shall receive.

18. Cars 

Manifesting a new car is another one of those common manifestation ideas that a lot of people do. 

I myself have also done this by deciding exactly what car I want, adding it to my vision board, and getting a job to make it happen.

19. Houses

Now, this is one of those manifestation ideas where it may take a bit longer than you want it to. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make it happen. 

You have to come up with a plan, be realistic, stay committed, and see it through. 

20. Vacations 

Who doesn’t love a good vacation? 

I always recommend adding a few nice vacation pictures to your vision board because everyone could use a nice reset at the beach or in the mountains. 

21. Certain Experiences 

You can also manifest certain experiences too such as taking your first plane ride or learning how to drive. 

22. Career 

Manifesting your dream career can not only bring more money into your life but it can also bring more peace and purpose into your life as well. 

Before you decide to add this to your list of manifestation ideas, though, I would ask yourself things such as 

• What would be required of me to have this career?
• What would I have to sacrifice?
• How long would it take to get there? 

23. A Job 

If you don’t desire to have a career and just need some cash, or you’re still deciding what kind of career you want, then you can also manifest a job. 

I will say this is a bit easier than manifesting a career but it may not be as rewarding in the long run, unless this happens to be your dream job. 

24. Financial Freedom 

If you’re not looking to have a job or a career and financial freedom is more up your alley, then there’s good news because you can manifest that too. 

Of course, it’s going to take a lot longer than manifesting a job, and just as challenging as (maybe even more) manifesting a career but 1000% worth it. 

25. Personal Growth 

This is one of the manifestation ideas that can positively affect you in multiple areas of your life and can also wind up organically attracting other treasures in life such as:  

• Confidence 
• Skills 
• Connections 

Biggest Myths About Manifesting 

1. You Don’t Have To Take Any Action 

One of the biggest myths about manifesting is that you don’t have to take any action and it’s all up to the Universe. 

This is beyond false. You must take action in order to receive anything.  

The Universe or God is not going to just put something in your life when you are being lazy. 

It’s one thing to take a break when you need it (after you’ve already been putting in the work) and it’s another thing to do absolutely nothing and expect something to be handed to you. 

It doesn’t work like that. 

Don’t let these fake “manifestation gurus” trick you into thinking it’s all about thoughts and intentions and that alone will get you where you want to go because it won’t. 

You have to work. 

2. Manifesting Is Instant 

Another common lie you’ll run across in the manifestation-sphere is that you can manifest things in an instant. With some things, maybe, but that doesn’t apply to all. 

Like we talked about earlier, some things just take time and you can’t get around it. If you’re looking to manifest things such as: 

• A partner 
• Money 
• A house 
• Healthy hair 

It’s going to take time. Manifestation is not this woo-woo thing that defies the natural laws of the Universe, and it’s not a shortcut to get what you want faster. 

It is the simple art of bringing your desires into your reality. How fast that desire comes into your reality depends on: 

• What goal you choose to go after 
• Where you are in life right now
• The steps you take to get there
• Your attitude/outlook  

Expecting something to come in an instant is only going to discourage you and cause you to give up before the going gets good because you’re expecting something that is quite frankly unrealistic. 

3. It Goes Against God

Another myth you may hear about is that manifesting is demonic and goes against God *insert facepalm*.

Having an idea/thought/feeling and it making itself apparent in this physical realm is not demonic, it’s natural. 

You are going to manifest things whether you do it intentionally or not, and if God did not want us to be able to do this, then God would not allow us to do it.

It’s as simple as that. 

Now, if you start attempting to manifest bad things for other people (which will wind up coming back to bite you in the butt in the end) then that can be considered bad or demonic. 

But to simply bring something that is not touchable into this physical world is not a bad thing. It’s normal and has been going on for thousands of years.

4. You Need High Vibrations 

While we’re on the subject of manifesting being natural, another myth that needs to be debunked is that you have to have high vibrations to manifest. 

While it is better to have good vibes while you’re manifesting, it’s not mandatory because again manifesting is natural. 

It’s going to happen whether you realize you’re doing it or not. 

You can manifest the desire of wanting McDonalds by going to McDonalds or the emotion of anger can manifest itself through your face turning red. Manifesting is not exclusive to people with “high vibrations”. 

Anyone can manifest almost anything. 

Now, if you want to manifest better vibrations in your life, then yes you need to have high vibrations yourself. 

But if you’re trying to manifest more money in your life, then no you technically do not need to be the most noble person in the world (it would be great if you were but it’s not necessary to achieve this). 

5. You Have To Avoid Negative Thoughts

Some people will tell you that in order to manifest you have to think positively because positive thoughts bring positive results. WRONG. 

You can manifest something in your life and be the most negative person in the world. How? Because manifestation is not only about your thoughts. 

If I had to pinpoint the main thing that causes a manifestation to happen I would have to say that it’s taking action. That is the main ingredient in the recipe: action. 

Without it, you have just hot air (a thought or idea). 

So while it’s true that when you think positively you will attract (or notice) more positive things in your life, it’s not the end all be all. 

Having negative thoughts and feelings is natural. 

We are not robots. We were meant to have a wide range of emotions and feel both sides of the spectrum of emotions. Your negative thoughts are not holding you back, they are there to protect you. 

When you let them get out of control and consume you is when you’ll start to run into some other issues. 

So, no, you will not manifest something negative just because you have negative thoughts (like everyone else in the world). 

6. The  Book “The Secret” Is The End All Be All 

If you’ve heard about manifesting then chances are you’ve heard about the book “The Secret”, which is a great book by the way. 

While this is an awesome read and very motivating it is not the all-knowing all-seeing text that solves everything. 

You also may not agree with everything you read in the book either, and that’s okay. It’s just a book, written by someone who is just a human. 

Granted, this human may be an expert in their field and hold wisdom you haven’t learned yet, but at the end of the day they’re still a human and it’s still a book. 

There are millions of other books out there where you can learn how to manifest, how to get what you want, and how to let go of some of the things that are holding you back in life. 

This book did not coin manifestation or The Law Of Attraction either. 

Conclusion On Manifestation Ideas

So there you have it folks, a solid list of things to manifest and how to achieve it. 

Of course, there are a few on this list that will take more time than others, such as having healthy hair or financial freedom. 

However, for the most part, a lot of the things on this list are 100% achievable within one year. And I say that from personal experience. 

I don’t recommend trying to achieve all 25 manifestation ideas at one time because it’s going to just lead to burnout and exhaustion. 

I recommend choosing 1, maybe 2, things to start with and going from there. 

Quality over quantity. Comment down below which idea you want to manifest first, and I will catch you in the next article! 

Peace
