6 Confidence Manifestation Rituals To Help You Become Your Best Self

One thing you can do each day is meditation and visualization. According to Newman, visualization is the most famous method for manifesting. Think about what it would look like if you lived your life with more confidence, and create scenarios of yourself going about your day. For instance, if you want to be more confident at work, paint a detailed picture in your head of what that looks like to you. Most importantly, think about how it feels to be confident. It may take some time to really get those feelings and details in your head, but Newman suggests keeping at it for at least 21 days. By that point, you’ll be visualizing like a pro.

Do something each day that helps you build your confidence, bonus points if it’s something physical. For instance, Loftis recommends lifting weights or standing with your arms overhead. “See Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk ‘Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are,’” she says. But like any manifestation technique, you must begin with intention. While you’re doing your practice, you can repeat an affirmation that puts you in a positive headspace like, “I am becoming more confident every day, in every way.”

Use the phases of the moon to your advantage. If you want to do a full manifestation ritual, Loftis suggests choosing a New Moon day and creating an altar where you can place objects that represent confidence and empowerment. This can include a photo of someone you admire or a crystal that can represent how you shine. “You can either write out a manifesto of confidence to read aloud in front of your altar, or you can just stand in front of it to speak spontaneously,” she says. “Speak affirmatively and with the confidence that you aspire to embody and project.”

It may seem simple, but wearing clothes that make you feel good can help you manifest more confidence. After all, wearing a cute outfit can make anyone feel good. As you’re going about your day, stand tall with your shoulders back. “Move through your day in a way that demonstrates to the Universe the confidence you would like to imbue yourself with,” Loftis says.

If you thought the above was easy, this trick is even easier. Whether someone compliments you on your work or the way you styled your hair, accept it with grace. Don’t try to downplay it or brush it off. “Practice simply saying, ‘thank you,’” Loftis says. “Be sure not to be self-deprecating.”

You can be on day 15 of your confidence manifestation ritual when something happens that makes you feel sad, angry, or discouraged. If that’s the case, always keep going. According to Newman, trust is the first rule of manifestation. “If you want to manifest confidence, trust your process and grab the opportunity to get out of your comfort zone,” she says. “The process may take some time but do not doubt the process.”
