What is the key to manifestation using the law of attraction? Most, if not all of us have this problem. I have manifested a few things into my life before just by sheer will and not giving up, but there is something I have discovered that seems to work even better. It’s not really a secret, it’s just that most people don’t put these two concepts together.
Everyone knows that gratitude is important for your overall wellbeing, but only recently have I learned just how important it is for manifesting things into our lives. In fact, I now believe that gratitude is the key to manifestation. The law of attraction has been marketed to sound easy, but many people still cannot get it to work for them. Gratitude is the missing key.

How I Improved My Manifestation Results
Recently, a stranger came into my life and shared with me an ebook called The Magic by Rhonda Bryne. If you have read The Secret, then you know who Rhonda is. This is another book of hers that goes into specifically the subject of gratitude. It explains how important gratitude is for manifesting our desires, and takes you through a month-long series of exercises to implement gratitude into your life.
I was astounded at the results I experienced. No, I am not rich, famous, or immortal, but the blessings I have received in my life have certainly been a result of practicing gratitude because there is no way these could have all been coincidences.
I have lost count how many times I thought about something I wanted or some result or benefit I needed in my life, and then having the Universe deliver something that fulfilled that thought.
My Proof That Gratitude Works For Manifestation
Below are just a few of the many profound positive experiences I have had since beginning this gratitude practice.
I had been thinking about how nice it would be if I had a treadmill, so I could walk indoors in the winter. I had never bought one before because they were too big and I don’t have room for one in my house, and also because they are too expensive. A week or two after thinking about this a few times, I went to a friend’s house who just happened to buy a new treadmill. It was half the size of any other treadmill I’ve ever seen, and a fraction of the normal price, as well! It was exactly what I needed but didn’t know a small cheap treadmill even existed!
I am always striving to improve my health, even though I am pretty healthy already. Whenever I have a health concern, something pops up in my life to show me what to do about it. And these solutions that pop up actually work where the other things I have previously found didn’t work.
I am also always striving to find new ways to earn money, ways that fit my work style. I tend to be very picky when it comes to work, even having trouble finding online ways to earn money that are a good fit for me. Since I started the gratitude practice, more and more ways to earn money have been flooding into my life, even faster than I have time to explore them! Each one seems like the perfect fit for me. It worked so well that I am overwhelmed with options now! Which, of course, is a much better problem to have than not enough options!
I have been trying to save money on buying food and things for my home, but couldn’t find a good solution other than to just buy less or use coupons. A friend asked me if I wanted to go to Costco, a place I had never been to. I was floored by how much I saved, and he told me I don’t even have to buy a membership, I can just go with him anytime and use his membership. I have probably saved a few hundred dollars just going two times and now I am stocked up for months!
After doing the money exercise in The Magic book, I made more sales on Etsy than I had up until that point, received 2 $10 coupons for one of my favorite stores, received a $25 gift card for Amazon for hotel points I didn’t know I had, and received my first royalties from Amazon that had been delayed up till that point.
This has been happening a lot lately, where I will wake up and immediately have an idea for how to improve something, or a feeling nudging me towards taking a certain action step. I know these are coming from somewhere else because they come to me immediately as I wake up before I could even start thinking!
After spending a day being grateful for nicer weather, the weather continued to get nicer to the point where winter practically turned into spring, in the middle of January! Some could say it would have been nice anyway, but it’s just another thing that is happening (and still happening!) that is not the norm.
One of the things I have wanted to manifest was more people in my life who are like-minded. Suddenly, I noticed that the people who were not like-minded were fading from my life as people who were like-minded were magically appearing! They would find me on FB, add me, and send me something I have been needing in my life, or I would learn that a friend is into the same subject so now I have someone to talk to about that subject. This has happened over and over with many people.
I ran out of laundry detergent but didn’t want to go to the store just for one thing. The next day I went to my mom’s house and she handed me a jug of laundry detergent she didn’t need because she just bought a new washer that needed special detergent. And the very next day after that, a friend told me he was making homemade detergent and could give me some.
I will be watching a YouTube video about a subject unrelated to a concern that has been on my mind, and the video will talk about something that would be a total solution for my concern. Even if something isn’t fixing the actual problem, just hearing it mentioned is a small sign from the Universe that you are getting closer. This is a common thing that happens when people are starting to be successful with the law of attraction, as what you want gets closer to becoming your reality, you will see little hints of it in your everyday life.
UPDATE: It is now 6 months after the original publish date of this post, and I just wanted to add that I am still doing my gratitude exercises every day (in fact I have added two more times each day to do them), and I am still getting amazing results!
A recent manifestation I created was done simply by having a thought to myself that I should get another mattress topper for my camper, since the one I have isn’t very comfortable. I surrendered this wish to the universe, while still being thankful for the one I have (along with all the other blessings that have come into my life!); six days later, my mom asked me if I wanted a memory foam mattress topper from her old bed! I smiled, and now I have another thing to be thankful for, which will help the snowball effect!
Another example just happened today! Just yesterday I was thinking how unhealthy it is that I don’t sweat regularly (something crucial for optimal detoxing). It isn’t that I don’t exercise, but I am a Vata-type dosha (Ayurvedic body type) and Vata’s are usually cold and have trouble working up a sweat. I thought to myself, ‘I wish I could afford to buy a sauna for my house’. Then today I was on YouTube and in a video I was watching, someone mentioned infrared sauna blankets that you wrap yourself in, and they were offering a discount so the total would only be a few hundred dollars! Needless to say, I ordered it, and soon I will be sweating all my toxins out much easier!
Another example; a few weeks ago I was thinking what a hassle it is to drive to the store every time I run out of fresh fruit and vegetables, since they are perishable and I go through them faster but don’t really want to run to the store every week when all I need are a few fruits and vegetables. Soon after, I was just scrolling Facebook and saw an ad for a company that saves organic fruit and vegetables that they can’t sell at the store, and they ship them to your house as often as twice a week! I also should mention this company’s prices are a lot lower than stores, so not only is this exactly what I wished for, but it also helps me save money which is one thing I am always thankful for!
Another thing that gratitude does for you is it opens your eyes to see and truly feel that you are happy with what you have, which is another key to getting the law of attraction to work for you. When you live in the moment and are happy and grateful for what you have, that is what propels you forward to receive even more things to be happy and grateful for. It’s like a wonderful snowball effect!

Get Started With Gratitude Journaling
I have a gratitude journal available in paperback format on Amazon. The link to buy is below, just click on the image!
If printables are more your thing, all of the pages in my book have been formatted for instant download, available on Etsy! Click the image below to check it out.
Another thing I use for manifesting is just a simple notebook that has a beautiful cover that says “She Believed She Could, So She Did”. That really helps get me in the frame of mind for gratitude and manifesting. I found this beautiful glossy-covered notebook on Amazon. It’s a dot grid journal, not lined, so it can be decorated like a bullet journal too! The exact notebook I use is linked below (affiliate link so thank you if you use this link!):
