As a transformational life coach and One of Many women’s coach, one of the most powerful tools, that I introduce early on in my 12-week programme, is journalling. Journalling is creative, and no matter what you write, it can inspire further creativity. It can be used for a range of things. Motivation. Focus. Energy. Mindset shifts.

But one of my favourites is manifestation and law of attraction journalling. Manifestation and Law of Attraction-based work is all about having a clear vision of what you want, and putting in place everything you can to achieve it, leaving the rest upto the universe, a high power – whatever you call your connection to source.

Why should I have a manifestation journal?

Clarity is the first step to success. Knowing where you want to go can help you decide the steps you need to take to get there. It’s not just having a vision, but its about addressing limiting beliefs, blocks, goals, and seeing what other themes crop up as a result of your journalling.

Where do I start?

Write about what you want, whether that is a bright pink Range Rover, or a hut on a beach with no wi-fi. But don’t focus too heavily on the questions. Write down everything that comes into your head. It can help you to delve into themes you didn’t even know were a part of the vision.

Here are some prompts to get you started:

1) If you could be any person, real or fictional, who would you be? Give 5 reasons why you chose them.

2) What three things are you most grateful for in your life?

3) Which opportunity have you been presented that you would like to say yes to? What is stopping you?

4) Spend a few minutes visualising what your life will be like when you are 60. Who is there with you? Where are you? What are you wearing? What brings you joy? 

5) Ask yourself these three questions and give yourself five minutes to answer each one. Do you know who you are? Do you know how you got here? Do you want to live this way?

6) Write down everything you want in life, as a stream of consciousness. It does not have to make sense. Just keep writing. Keep the pen moving for 15 minutes, or until your hand gets tired.

7) Imagine you are your highest self. What does that look like? How does it differ from who you are now?

8) If you had to choose three things that you would do every single day for the rest of your life, that align with your vision, what would they be?

9) Write down 5 things you dislike about yourself and your life. Come up with 5 things you could do to change those things, or reframe those things in a positive way.

10) Write out your morning diary entry as if you have already completed the day. Scribe all the wonderful things that happened to you. What did you say yes to? What did you say no to? What did you make time for?
