Manifestation is a self-improvement practice that involves visualizing and achieving desired outcomes. It's based on the belief that positive thoughts bring positive experiences, while negative thoughts bring negative experiences.

Manifestation can be integrated into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a treatment that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. However, some experts think manifestation might be harmful, particularly for those with negative thoughts or feelings, such as anxiety, depression, or OCD.

Here are some tips for practicing manifestation healthily:

• Break down goals: Divide large goals into smaller steps and manifest each step.
• Visualize success: Picture yourself successfully achieving your goal.
• Be patient: Manifestation requires patience.
• Take action: Alongside visualizing success, take consistent steps to achieve it.
