In the simplest of terms, manifestation is the art and skill with which people focus their thoughts, beliefs, and energy on a certain goal and dream, and then wish for it to come true. Manifestation is based on the idea that what you constantly and consistently think about, feel strongly about, and work towards, will soon shape your reality and your life, and thus, people use it for the most basic or even the most important tasks in life.
And remember, manifestation is not a trick where the result appears magically, but a way to align your mindset with your goal in such a way that you become more focused, driven, and clear.
Manifestation is like an inner compass, and wherever you will steer the ship of thought, eventually your mind will work that way. When you believe you can achieve something, you start acting like someone who can. And soon, you will build a kind of mental strength that will help clear the noise of self-doubt.
When you manifest during your exam cycles, or before you see a result, instead of focusing on fears and doubts like ‘What if I fail’ ‘What if I have to repeat the semester’ or ‘What if I don’t score enough’, you focus on something more positive, for example ‘I am doing my best, I have done my best, and my hardwork will reap rewards’.
One of the simplest ways to manifest the result of your dreams is to set a clear intention about your studies, your efforts, and your dedication. Do not just say ‘I will do well in my exams’, say ‘I will score above 92% in my exams and full marks in XYZ subject’. The clearer the goal is, the easier it is to align your efforts. And once the goal is clear, spend 5-10 minutes every day, or more, visualising a positive result and saying positive affirmations.
Another important thing to remember about manifesting is that you don’t need to spend hours doing chant, affirmations, or visualisations. You need 10–15 minutes of dedication and concentration in a day, and this can be easily fitted in your study timetable.
Start your day with 5 minutes of affirmations, saying things like ‘Today I will dedicate myself to studying XYZ’ or ‘Today, I will finish 3 sample papers of ABC subject’, and then move on to the study of the day. Then, whenever you take a break, look back at how much of the affirmation you have achieved, and change accordingly.
And then at night, just before you go to bed, visualise. Think about clicking the result page and seeing the percentage or grade you wanted, or being felicitated by the Principal of your school for exceptional performance.
As said before, manifestation is not magic that will change the past, but rather thinking that will help change the future. When you practice thinking positively, visualising success, and staying hopeful, you begin to train your mind to see the good, not just the problems. And with a positive mindset you are just calmer in general, have a better hold of your goals and tick them accordingly, and you don’t ignore challenges, but find a way out around them.
Over time, when the manifestation mindset becomes your natural way of thinking, your goals and the time left to achieve them is also clearer.
But remember, manifestation does not replace hard work, but just supports it. You can’t visualise your way to success without actually studying, you can’t visualise and affirm 99% marks without putting in the hardwork, and you cannot train your brain to receive a medal without taking the right steps towards it all.
If you have not been preparing, if you are skipping revisions, and just hoping that luck factor and manifestations will work, you are in for a bumpy ride.
So study everyday, adhere to the timetable, make the efforts, and manifesting will help remove any negative thinking and doubts on the way.
