I have a lot of big life dreams, but half the time, I don’t know where to start. I need direction and focus on reaching my high ambitions. That’s when I came across manifestation affirmations. I’ve been dabbling with them over the past year, but I’ve finally found some that work for me.
I’m going to tell you what manifestation affirmations are, the benefits, the types you can choose, and 100 prompts to get started.
What Are Manifestation Affirmations?
Manifestation affirmations are concise, positive statements or phrases that help turn dreams or goals into reality.
You write them in the present tense as if the thing you desire already exists.
For example, if you want to excel in a hobby, you might say, ‘I am a great dancer.’
If you wish to invite kindness into your life, an example could be, ‘Everyone I love is kind and thoughtful.’
The process sends positive energy and positive thoughts to your subconscious brain, and these powerful statements help you overcome negative and limiting beliefs.
By using these affirmations daily – the same affirmation or set of affirmations – you start believing these things are true (even though they might not be yet).
Why You Should Use Manifestation
It can be hard to determine what you want in life, and you might find yourself resorting to wishful thinking.
‘If I won the lottery, I would…’ ‘When I’m famous, I will…’ ‘I wish I had…’
However, this ‘lacking’ mindset (negative thoughts focusing on what you don’t have rather than what you do) attracts more of the same thinking in your day to day life. For example, you will always believe that you don’t have enough money, a good relationship, self-belief, happiness, etc.
When you use manifestation, vague thoughts turn into actionable steps because your brain thinks that whatever you tell it is true, and you harness the power of the law of attraction.
Different Manifestation Techniques
You might be confused about the difference between manifestation and affirmations (I was when I started looking into it!).
You can use the two terms together, but many people refer to them separately.
Manifestation is a technique to train your subconscious and positively transforms wishful thinking into reality.
Affirmations are a type of manifestation, typically phrases or statements, that use positive statements written in the present tense.
Types of Manifestation:
- Affirmations – uses present tense statements, such as, ‘I am.’
- Visualization – imagining a scenario or creating a vision board.
- Scripting – writing a short paragraph about something as if it’s already true and how that makes you feel.
- Letter to the Universe – writing to yourself in the future by defining what your future self is doing, how they got there, and how they feel now.
- The 55×5 method – writing an affirmation 55 times for 5 days in a row.
- The 3,6,9 method – noting down your affirmation 3 times in the morning, 6 in the afternoon, and 9 in the evening.
- Gratitude list – writing things you are thankful for and why.
The list goes on. Many of these approaches use affirmations to achieve your dream life.
For instance, the 55×5 method is when you write a specific affirmation 55 times for 5 days. It gets a bit confusing, but think of it this way: manifestation is a big umbrella, and all the different manifestation techniques (like affirmations) huddle beneath it.
How to Use Manifestation Affirmations in Your Journal
My advice for using manifestations in your journal is to apply them to something you already do. For example, if you’re in the habit of writing a gratitude list, add your new affirmations at the end.
If you have a great morning journal routine, add your manifestation affirmations, manifestation journal prompts, and positive good morning quotes to that practice.
If you love art journaling, decorate it with affirmations around the side.
If you keep a health tracker, write a health affirmation every time you update it.
There’s no right or wrong way, and you may need to play around for a while before you find something that sticks.

Manifestation affirmations are an easy choice because they’re simple and directive, perfect for a beginner and using your journal.
Manifestation Affirmations Help Achieve Your Dreams & Goals
Positive affirmations bring your wishes and goals into existence and transform your mindset. Choose whatever manifestation suits you the best. You can always tweak or edit until it sits right.
It takes a while for manifestations to take hold, so keep at it for 30 days. If you feel disheartened, remember that saying an affirmation instantly shifts your mindset and induces positive feelings, so it’s also great for short-term effects.
Try out this simple technique and start manifesting your dreams into reality.
