Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are short, positive statements written in the present tense about personal qualities, abilities, situations, or desires. They are used to reprogram subconscious beliefs.
Steps
- Choose an area of life to focus on, such as health, relationships, or career.
- Write “I am” statements that describe yourself already possessing your desired trait or outcome.
- Write affirmations every morning and night in a journal. Alternatively, you can look in a mirror and say them aloud.
- Believe fully in the truth of your affirmations as you repeat them with passion and conviction.
- Continue daily for at least 2-4 weeks to allow subconscious reprogramming.
Examples
- “I am healthy, strong, and energized.”
- “I effortlessly maintain my ideal weight.”
- “I am a successful businesswoman earning $10k/month.”
- “I attract my soulmate with ease.”
Benefits
- Raise self-esteem and confidence.
- Change mental patterns holding you back.
- Attract opportunity by aligning vibration to the goal.
- Improve motivation and hope for the future.
- Release resistance and doubts naturally over time.
Difficulty: Easy
Affirmations are one of the easiest manifestation techniques. This method requires just a few minutes daily of focused writing.
Scripting Manifestation Method
Scripting is a manifestation technique that involves writing a story or a scenario about your desired outcome as if it has already happened. It is a way of using your imagination and creativity to visualize and feel your manifestation in great detail.
Steps
- Choose a desire that you want to manifest.
- Write a scenario that describes your desire in the past or present tense as if it has already happened.
- Write your script by hand, preferably on paper (you can use a device, too, as long as you have a pen). Ideally, you want to have a journal dedicated to this purpose. Writing by hand can help you connect more deeply with your intention and activate more parts of your brain.
- Feel the feelings of having already achieved your your desire. Connect emotionally to how fulfilling and satisfying it would feel to have your desired outcome. Use words that evoke positive feelings, such as “happy,” “grateful,” or “excited.”
- Read your script every day, visualizing and feeling the experience. Do this at the same time each day to program your subconscious. You can also write it again whenever you feel inspired or motivated.
Example
“I am so grateful for my new position as [title] at [company name]. I love the new job and responsibilities that have come with it. Today is my first day in my new role. As I walk into the office, my coworkers and boss congratulate me on the well-deserved achievement. I feel so proud. The extra pay also allows me to [investing in a new hobby/helping family members/other goals]. I know this is just the beginning and there are even greater things ahead for me.“
Benefits
- Programs your subconscious mind to match the fulfilled state.
- Strengthens visualization and mental conditioning abilities.
- Your self-belief and motivation increase.
- Invites more synchronistic signs as reality synchronizes to the intention.
- You develop trust in the manifestation process.
- Flexible method that adapts to your evolving desires.
- It’s fun.
Difficulty: Moderate
Scripting requires more detailed writing than affirmations, but reading a script is still quite simple.
Gratitude Lists
Gratitude lists are lists of things you are thankful for, in general, or in relation to your desires.
Steps
For general application:
- Write at least five things you are grateful for each day in a journal.
- Describe why you are thankful for each item with feeling and appreciation.
- Continue the daily lists and observe how your reality shifts.
For specific application:
- Choose a specific desire.
- Write down at least three things you are grateful for in relation to your desire, either in the present or future tense.
Example
General Example:
This list should include everything you’re grateful for, like “I’m grateful for my health, for being able to spend time with loved ones, for a roof over my head.“
Specific Example:
Let’s say you desire career success. You can write something like “I am grateful for the opportunity to work on this project,” “I am grateful for the support and guidance that I receive from my mentors,” or “I am grateful for the success and recognition that I will achieve with this project.“
In case you want to manifest love: “I am so happy that I have met my soulmate. I am grateful for sharing my life with someone as wonderful as them.“
Benefits of Practicing Gratitude
- Raises your vibration and attracts more positive energy.
- Shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have.
- Aligns your energy with the frequency of your desire.
- Acknowledges and appreciates the signs and manifestations that you receive.
- A positive feedback loop reinforces your manifestation process.
Difficulty: Easy
This practice is extremely easy to implement. It requires only that you dedicate 5-10 minutes each day to writing out a few things you appreciate.
Fliping Limiting Beliefs
Flipping limiting beliefs is a technique that involves identifying and transforming negative beliefs that may hinder your manifestation.
Steps
- Choose a goal or desire.
- Write down any limiting beliefs that you have about yourself and your goal. For example, “I’m not good enough.”
- Next, write down the opposite of each belief, using positive and present tense words, like “I am good enough.”
- Write down evidence or examples that support each positive belief. For example, “I have received many compliments and praises.”
- Include emotion, as if you are feeling the truth and power of each statement.
Example
Let’s say your negative beliefs are “I don’t deserve this,” “I’ll never lose weight,” or “This is too hard.”
Flip them into their opposites: “I deserve this,” “I effortlessly maintain my health goals,” or “This is easy.” Then, write down statements that back up these new beliefs.
Supporting claims: “I have achieved many things in my life,” or “I have seen others succeed in this.“
Benefits
- Exposes and challenge the false assumptions and stories that you tell yourself.
- Replaces these false beliefs with positive and empowering ones.
- Boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
- Activates the law of attraction and sends a clear signal to the universe.
- Reprograms the subconscious mind to align with your conscious wishes.
Difficulty: Hard
Flipping beliefs takes commitment. You need to identify and rewire deep-seated patterns. This makes it one of the most challenging writing manifestation methods. That’s why having a manifestation coach to guide you comes in handy. The results can radically transform your life.
Manifestation Journal
A manifestation journal is a notebook where you write down your thoughts, dreams, goals, and/or plans—all the things you want to manifest. This is one of the most common manifestation techniques.
Steps
- Choose a journal and dedicate it as your manifestation book.
- Schedule a time for writing, preferably in the morning or before sleep. Of course, you can also write it whenever you feel inspired.
- Write in it daily without judgment on anything related to your goals.
- Note visualizations, gratitude reflections, vision board ideas, etc.
- Track any positive coincidences or signs along the way.
- Review periodically to witness and celebrate your development.
Example
Entries Ideas: Dreams, creative writing, reflections on affirmations, mood tracker.
Example Entries:
As in other writing manifestation methods, you can write your desires in a positive and present tense as if it is already true. For example, “I am a successful writer.“
Write down why you want to manifest a certain goal and how it will benefit you and/or others. For example, “I want to manifest this goal because writing is my passion and purpose. I want to share my stories and insights with the world.”
You can write about how you will manifest your goals and desires. What steps you can take to achieve it? For example, “I will manifest this goal by writing every day, improving my skills, publishing my work, and reaching my audience.“
You can set specific deadlines for each goal and track them. For example, “I will manifest this goal by the end of this year.“
Benefits
- Exploring your desires in great detail.
- Creating a clear picture of your desired reality.
- Gaining self-awareness, clarity, and direction about your life purpose and vision.
- Organizing and prioritizing your goals and desires.
- Tracking your progress and results.
- Connecting and communicating with your higher mind.
Difficulty: Easy
A manifestation journal is easy to use. Expressive writing supports the manifestation process without pressure and requires only a few minutes per day.
Letters From Your Future Self
This method involves writing a letter from the perspective of having already achieved a desired result in the future. It’s very similar to the scripting method but has its own twist.
Steps
- Imagine it is 1-5 years in the future, and your goal has been accomplished.
- Write a letter to your past self from this future perspective.
- Describe experiences, emotions, advice, and lessons learned.
- Speak in the present tense to mentally place yourself in that reality.
Example
“Dear past self, I’m so happy we followed our dreams. The business is thriving…“
Benefits
- Strengthens visualization of goal completion.
- Raises vibration connecting to feelings of fulfillment.
- Boosts self-belief through the wisdom of future achievements.
- Provides guidance and motivation to present self.
- Energizes manifestation through emotional investment.
Difficulty: Moderate
This practice can be challenging for some people. It requires you to vividly imagine the future in which your desired manifestation is accomplished. Then, write from that achieved viewpoint. It bridges timelines to accelerate results.
Pillow Manifestation Method
The Pillow Method is a simple and fun technique that involves placing a piece of paper with your written desire under your pillow before sleep. The idea is to use the power of your subconscious mind and the state of relaxation to manifest your desire while you sleep.
Steps
- Write out your intentions and desires on small pieces of paper.
- Place the papers under your pillow before falling asleep.
- Relax and allow your subconscious to safely incubate the intentions overnight.
Example
Affirmations: “I am healthy and happy,” “I attract abundance and prosperity,” or “I am in a loving and supportive relationship.”
Benefits
- Enables goals to marinate in the subconscious while you sleep.
- You may experience insightful dreams that provide guidance or confirmation.
- Uninterrupted practice before sleep helps you release any stress or tension that may block your manifestation.
Difficulty: Moderate
The pillow method requires only a few minutes before bed to write intentions. It might be challenging to stick to if you’re feeling tired.
369 Manifestation Method
The 369 Method is a popular technique inspired by the famous inventor and visionary Nikola Tesla. It involves writing down your desire three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times in the evening.
Steps
- Decide exactly what you want and state it as an affirmation in the present tense.
- Write it down 3 times in the morning.
- Repeat your affirmation 6 times in the afternoon.
- Lastly, write your affirmation 9 times in the evening before sleep.
- Repeat this process for at least 33. I like to use 36. Always do it with emotion and conviction.

“I am attracting $5,000 in unexpected funds.”
Benefits:
- Powers up positive thoughts through concentrated repetition.
- Reinforces the intention into the subconscious.
- Amplifies your vibrational frequency.
Difficulty: Moderate
This method is simple but requires discipline to repeat writing 3 times per day.
55×5 Manifestation Method
The 55×5 Manifestation Method is a technique that involves writing down your desire 55 times for 5 consecutive days. The idea is to change your subconscious thought patterns and beliefs over 5 days so that they match the frequency of your desire.
Steps
- Choose a desire and write it as if it is already true.
- Write your desire 55 times in a row.
- Feel the emotion of it, as if you are feeling the truth and power of your desire.
- Repeat this process for five consecutive days without skipping or missing a day.
Example:
“I am in a loving and supportive relationship with my SP.”
Benefits
- Strengthens the intention’s implantation in the subconscious.
- Engages both mind and body through the physical writing.
- High-volume repetition amplifies manifestation practice.
- 5 minutes daily makes it easy to integrate into a schedule.
Difficulty: Moderate
The challenge lies in maintaining concentration without distraction. However, with practice, the endeavor becomes a powerful way to channel manifestation energy.
Journal Prompts
Journal prompts are questions or statements that inspire you to write about your goals, desires, and manifestations.
Steps:
- Choose prompts related to your desire, vision, or intention for the day.
- Pick one prompt each morning and journal responses.
- Write continuously for 10-15 minutes.
- Use as much detail and positive emotions as possible.
- Note any “Aha!” moments or sparks of inspiration.
Examples:
“What does your dream life look like?”
“What would success look like?”
“How would you feel if your desire manifested?
“How do you want to attract into your life today?”
“What am I most grateful for today?”
Benefits:
- Gains clarity through different angles of reflection.
- Boosts creativity and solution-finding.
- Keeps manifestation top-of-mind daily.
- Increases motivation and positive expectation.
- Supports your continuous self-development.
Difficulty: Moderate
This method is moderately difficult. Journal prompts do give guidance, but they also invite you to question your challenging patterns.
Advantages of Writing Manifestation Methods
When you write down your desired manifestation, you create a physical record of what you want and why it matters. It ensures you are mentally and emotionally engaged in your manifestation. This helps you to maintain your motivation and focus on your desired result.
There is a connection between the brain and your writing hand that comes into effect. Written words plant the desire in your brain.
What Is the Law of Attraction, and How Does It Work
The law of attraction is the universal principle that states that like attracts like. This means that whatever you think, feel, and believe, you will attract into your reality.
Your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are forms of energy that vibrate at certain frequencies. When you align your vibration with the frequency of your desire, you attract it into your experience.
The law of attraction works in three steps:
- Ask: You ask the universe for what you want by forming a clear and specific intention.
- Believe: You believe you will receive what you want by having faith and trust in the universe.
- Receive: You receive what you want by being open and ready to accept it.
The law of attraction is always working, whether you are aware of it or not.
Practical Tips and Techniques to Manifest by Writing
Some practical tips that can help you make the most of any writing manifestation technique are:
- Be clear and specific about your manifestation goals, but avoid being too rigid or limiting. Leave room for the universe to surprise you with something better than expected.
- Be consistent and committed to your writing manifestation practice.
- Have fun and enjoy the process, and don’t worry about the outcome. The more relaxed and detached you are, the faster and easier your manifestation will come.
- Be grateful and appreciative for your manifestation as if it is already done. This will help you align with the frequency of abundance and joy and attract more of it into your life.
- Dedicate a special notebook or a journal solely for this purpose.
- If it’s overwhelming to start writing your deepest desires right away, start with manifesting something small.
Words To Dodge When Manifesting Something by Writing
When you’re manifesting by writing, the words you use play an important role. They should be positive and focus on what you want.
For manifestation purposes, these are the words you want to ditch completely:
- Negations. Words like “won’t,” “don’t,” “isn’t,“ or “can’t” focus on what we want to avoid. Our goal is to focus on what we want to attract. They create a negative and limiting vibration that can block your manifestation. For example, instead of writing, “I don’t want to be sick,” write, “I am healthy and well“.
- Words that imply lack. Words like “need,” “want,” or “wish” usually indicate lack, desperation, or dependence. They imply that you are not in alignment with your desire. You are waiting for something outside of yourself to make you happy. For example, instead of writing “I need more money,” write “I have more than enough money.”
- Phrases that indicate uncertainty, doubt, or lack of commitment. They usually contain words such as “try,” “hope,” or “maybe.” They indicate beliefs of doubt and lack. For example, instead of “I hope to find love,” write, “I am finding love.“
- Words that postpone your manifestation to an indefinite future. These are “someday,” “soon,” “later,” etc. They indicate that you are not ready or willing to receive your desire. You are putting conditions or limitations on your manifestation. For example, instead, “I will travel the world someday,” write, “I am frequently traveling,” or “I am a world traveler.“
- Words that create obstacles and challenges in your manifestation journey. Words like “hard,” “difficult,” or “impossible” lower your expectations and confidence. They can make you feel powerless. So, instead, “It is hard to lose weight,” write, “It is easy to lose weight.“
What Is the Most Effective Way to Manifest by Writing?
In my opinion, the most effective manifestation technique is scripting. This is especially true for visual types because scripting utilizes powerful visualization in addition to writing. Scripting engages both the conscious and subconscious mind more deeply than affirmations or lists alone.
Regular scripting strengthens the neural pathways in your brain that support manifesting that scenario. The more you visit it mentally, the more your beliefs conform to allow it. It’s a great way to reprogram your subconscious mind.
Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. If you don’t like scripting, that’s fine too. You can still achieve all the benefits with other methods. Different methods work better for different people, depending on their preferences, goals, and personalities.
What Is the Best Writing Manifestation Technique for Beginners?
If I had to recommend the best writing manifestation technique for beginners, I would suggest gratitude lists. This method is great for beginners wanting to dip their toes in writing manifestation.
Here’s why:
- Ease of use: This method requires only writing things you are thankful for each day.
- Quick results: Shifting one’s mental focus to gratitude has almost immediate positive effects on mood and perspective. Beginners see quick wins.
- Low commitment: At just 5-10 minutes daily, gratitude journaling has a low time commitment, which makes it easy to sustain as a regular practice.
- Universal benefits: Focusing on abundance rather than lack benefits all areas of life. Gratitude contributes to well-being, relationships, work, plus your specific desires.
- Flexible: There is no right or wrong way to write gratitude lists. Beginners can keep the style casual without pressure.
- Pairs well with other techniques: Gratitude journaling is an excellent foundational technique for other manifestation methods.
