What is the 55×5 Method for Manifestation?
The 55×5 method is a combination between journaling and positive affirmations that rewires your subconscious mind to accept that something positive is a fact.
Manifestation uses the law of attraction: the belief that you invite into your life what you put into the universe. And this manifestation technique requires you to write what you want in the form of a positive affirmation 55 times for 5 days in a row.
By writing out your positive affirmation so many times, you create zero doubt in your subconscious mind that what you are telling yourself is true, and you can begin creating your dream life.
Our minds are extremely powerful because our subconscious holds limiting or unlimited beliefs.
The law of attraction and manifesting works both ways when it comes to positive or negative attraction.
For example, if you consistently tell yourself you have an ailment (perhaps as a hypochondriac), you will experience symptoms of an illness and even make it a reality.
However, if you want a new relationship and think positively about having one, you will draw someone into your life.
Benefits of 55X5 for the Manifestation Process
Manifestation transforms your life because it identifies and focuses your mind on what you specifically want in life, whether it’s a dream job, fulfilling relationship, or something elese.
It requires you to define a goal or dream and the rewires your mind subconsciously to believe that chosen affirmation is already true. You no longer see the desire as unobtainable, but as something you already have in your life.
As a result, your self-belief and confidence sky-rockets, and you set on on the right path to achieve your goals but carrying out actions that help you reach it.The behavior provides evidence and, therefore, even more belief that you are achieving what you want, and all of a sudden you’re in a snowball effect heading full speed towards your big dreams.
Why does the 55×5 Method Work? Law of Attraction + Present Tense
The 55×5 method works because you are persistently hammering home that something is true to your subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind can’t differentiate between true and false. It doesn’t know about facts, only what it believes to be right (or wrong).
You can see this in many people who think they aren’t capable of something. E.g., ‘I’ve never been in a committed relationship, and I never will.’
Your mind believes it is accurate, so it creates this reality.
However, when you train your brain to believe a positive message and positive feelings beyond doubt, it will behave like it’s the truth, and you’ll have a successful manifestation.
How to Use the 5×5 Attraction Method Using Your Journal (5 Simple Steps)
Identify Your Manifestation Wish List
Brainstorm your goals in your journal
Let your mind wander and create a brain dump of things you want to achieve. You could also use a vision board in your journal to work through this part.
If you want to manifest something in five days (which is the whole point of this 55 5 manifesting method), it’s best to invite something obtainable in that time.
That said, self-belief is your only limit, so go for one-million dollars if you have no doubt in your mind it’s accessible.
Decide on your top priority manifestation goal
Similar to multi-tasking, it’s unwise to multi-manifest.
When you try to manifest too many things at once, your brain gets confused, and you don’t focus on achieving one goal.
Determine what’s most important to you now and concentrate all your energy on that single affirmation.
Ask yourself why the manifestation is important
What is it about this manifestation in particular that needs your attention? Is it because it will make a significant life change, or it’s something you’ve wanted for a long time? Perhaps it’s because of how it will make you feel. For example, do you want to own a house because it will make you feel safe, proud and grateful?
Get specific with clear intention
It’s near-enough impossible to get what you want if you’re too vague. For instance, if you want to start an indoor jungle, saying, ‘I like my houseplants,’ is a bit wishy-washy.
How many house plants do you have, why are you grateful for them, and what positive emotion do they evoke in you?
You can even introduce a timeline, e.g., I am thankful for the seven houseplants I bought this week because they make me happy.
Select a Manifestation Journal
The tools you chose are just as essential as your manifestation.
When you select a type of journal, it’s because your subconscious communicates what you need and plays a part in what you want to attract into your life.
Choosing a color that aligns with your goals and deepest desires is a great way to boost your manifestation.
I remember picking a sunny yellow journal with a material cover because I felt an innate pull toward it. My mind wanted to invite happiness and energy into my life. When I decided on that journal, I remember thinking, ‘This is a positive and happy journal.’
Turn What You Want Into a Powerful Affirmation Statement
Once you know specifically want you desire, it’s time to transform that goal into an affirmation or affirmative statement.
The point of affirmations is to instil the positive belief that you already have the thing you most want.
Examples are, ‘I am confident. I love myself. I am rich/famous/brave/talented,’ etc.
Keep your affirmations short
You want your affirmation to be short and sweet so you can fully concentrate your desire in every word. It’s different from scripting your manifestation when you go into more detail about how you reached your goal. This is one specific sentence that encapsulates your goal.
Write in the present tense
Phrases such as, ‘I will, when I do XYZ, I want,’ are all future tense. They don’t define a specific time, so it follows the vein of being too vague. You want to instil the belief that you already have what you desire to trick your subconscious.
Instead of using the future tense, use the present tense. ‘I am’ is a classic example, but it can also start with ‘I earn, (e.g., $8,000 per month)’, ‘I live, (e.g., in a beautiful two-bedroom house in the country), etc.
Include gratitude
Adding gratitude to your affirmations is vital because the law of attraction works by inviting positivity into your life. If you are not grateful for something, then are you truly deserving? Do you appreciate it and feel thankful for your opportunities? In the following step, we’ll get a bit more into gratitude.
Express Gratitude and Positive Emotions
Including gratitude in your affirmation focuses on what you have rather than what you lack. It’s a key ingredient in this manifesting method, and trains a positive mindset and feeling of abundance (remember, according to the law of attraction, positivity attracts positivity, and negativity attracts negativity).
Write Your Manifestation 55 Times for 5 Days
The final step is copying out your manifestation in your journal 55 times for 5 days straight. Writing down your affirmation helps you visually see your goal and keeps the manifestation persistently on your mind. You bombard your brain and focus entirely on what it thinks it’s already got and starts behaving accordingly.
Try to be present when writing it out so it’s not automatic and mindless, but rather an intentional process spending time to achieve your goals.
It only works as an attraction tool when you invest mindful energy and emotion into your manifestations.
And remember, sometimes what you want will not appear in the way you first thought. Investigate and remain open-minded if you get a good vibe from something or a gut instinct.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 55×5 Manifesting Formula
Yes, it is entirely possible if you consistently turn up, commit to it for the full five days, and focus on one achievable manifestation. If you do not manifest your desire in that time frame, either let the manifestation go or continue adjusting until it suits your needs.
A color that best aligns with the goals you want to manifest is best when practicing this manifestation ritual. For example, yellow invites opportunities and joy, red connects to grounding and passion, orange invites vibrancy and determination, pink is soft and romantic, and blue is calming. Select a color that coordinates with the affirmation you have in mind.
The morning and evenings are the best time to manifest your goals and dreams. When you first wake up, it sets the tone for the day and focuses your mind on what you aim to achieve. As a result, all your actions will align with your manifestation as it is fresh on your mind. Manifesting in the evening, right before bed, is perfect for solidifying new habits and goals. Your brain recalls experiences and thoughts throughout the day, so concentrating on them before lights out helps hone in on what’s important. An age-old trick is reciting things you must memorize by heart right before sleeping. Your mind replays those things, and as you drift into your subconscious, it cements those facts. Your manifestations are statements you are training your brain to believe.
55 by 5 is a law of attraction technique that requires you to write manifestation affirmations 55 times per day over 5 days. This process creates a realignment in your subconscious, causing it to believe your biggest desires are already true. This snowballs into your daily life by helping you overcome limiting beliefs and take actions to make it a reality.
Write a clear statement in the present tense, as if it is already true in your life. Include positive emotion, mood and gratitude to encompass how it feels to have your goal be true. And write your manifestation with a complete focus on your biggest priority.
The55 5 method requires you to create a 5-day ritual whereby you write your manifestation affirmation 55 times per day over 5 days, which is 275 times in total.
