Does it seem like everyone can manifest effortlessly but you these days? You’re seemingly doing everything right but it’s just not working. Don’t worry, we got you!
This post is all about 5 Key Mindset Hacks to Manifest Effortlessly
I like to call myself a Spiritual Skeptic, I’m a little woo-woo but I still have that practical voice in the back of my head asking “Is this REALLY going to work?” so I get it! It seems like manifestation is a big buzzword these days and is all over the internet, but what does it mean?
What is Manifestation?
Manifestation isn’t that woo-woo babe, it’s science-backed. Manifesting is the act of bringing something from your mind (a thought) into real life. By that definition, we’re all quite literally manifesting every single day. You wake up think about coffee and you go grab Starbucks? manifested. You think think that you might be ready to start dating again so you download Hinge? manifested. We’re always in the process of manifesting, so why not learn how to make the process work for you?
Why Your Manifestation isn’t Coming
Okay, so you can manifest iced coffee and the perfect parking spot, but you’re struggling when it comes to big goals like your dream career, marriage, or a specific level of income. There are a few reasons why we struggle with manifestation, let’s get into them!
- Limiting Beliefs: Our limiting beliefs are typically formed by age seven and more often than not they belong to someone else. These are “facts” that our brains hold as truth, and they negatively impact the way we take (or avoid taking) action toward our goals. You might be struggling financially because deep down you believe that money is difficult to make and wealth is only for certain people. This is likely because of a belief you absorbed from your parents or society. Analyzing the beliefs we hold when it comes to certain manifestations is important, it helps us figure out what needs clearing.
- Resistance: You may be energetically resisting your manifestations! This would be linked to your limiting beliefs but also your feelings of self-worth. You may not feel worthy of what you manifest, so your subconscious will deliberately prevent you from receiving it.
- You’re forcing them: The universe works on its own timeline and has its own plans. If you’re (as Gabby Bernstein calls it) “manic manifesting” then you’re scaring your manifestations off. Think about a first date, if someone showed up with a really desperate energy they’d likely give you the ick. This is exactly how the universe feels about you desperately trying to control how your manifestation arrives. If we learn to surrender we open ourselves up to possibilities, your manifestations might be coming in a better way than you could have planned!
5 Mindset Hacks to Manifest Effortlessly
1. Identity Shift
The most effective way to speed up your manifestations is to shift your identity, easier said than done though. When you IDENTITY as a person who has achieved your manifestation your subconscious will work toward making that your reality. If you identify as a runner then there’s no way you’ll miss that 5:00 AM run club and of course, you’re signing up for that 5KM. You can’t just buy a new pair of Lulu lemons and expect to be a runner, you need to believe you are a runner.

2. Gratitude mindset
I could go on and on about the power of gratitude (and I do! with this blog), it’s so powerful. Gratitude is the currency of the universe, and it has the ability to supercharge your manifestations.
If you went to your best friend’s birthday party and gave them a present, and as they opened it they said “Oh, this is cool but I wanted xyz instead” or they didn’t smile or say thank you, would you ever want to buy them a gift again? This is exactly how the universe feels when you avoid gratitude. The more we practice gratitude and adopt a grateful mindset the more we receive.

3. Follow the Fun
Manifestation is supposed to be fun! The way you experience the manifestation process is the way you’re going to receive and experience the manifestation itself. Look for what lights you up, follow your joy, and have some fun, even if it’s not directly related to what you’re trying to manifest. When we’re happy and joyful inspiration starts to flow and ideas come to us with ease. Consider this permission to join that dance class you’ve been eyeing or start spending your Saturdays at the park.

4. Abundance Mindset
Most of us are walking around with a lack mindset and we’re not even aware of it. Have you ever woken up and the first thought you had was “Ugh, I didn’t get enough sleep”? guess what? you’ve just set yourself up for a day of lack. A lack mindset shrinks you, it’s the idea that nothing is ever enough, something is missing, or that what you want isn’t possible for you. An abundance mindset is the opposite of that, it’s expansive and it creates a belief that anything is possible. You can slowly start to adopt an abundance mindset by making small perspective shifts, or by practicing gratitude.

5. Visualization
Guess what babe? Your brain literally doesn’t know the difference between what’s real or not. Your subconscious mind listens to you (your conscious mind) and absorbs information as fact. Starting a visualization practice is an amazing way to trick your brain into believing your manifestations are already in your reality. The best time of day to do this is right before bed because we sink into our subconscious mind as we fall asleep, but you can do a visualization exercise whenever.
