We’ve heard time and again about the power of words and how we can speak things into existence, and that if you hear something often enough you will believe it to be true. Recently, the social media platform Tiktok was swept with a new trend called the 3-6-9 manifestation method, a practice that claims to bring positive thoughts and affirmations into reality through repeatedly writing down your goals and dreams. There are now millions of videos about it and some of the more popular ones have reached hundreds of thousands of views. Video views under the hashtag #manifestation are at around 15 billion.
There are claims that the manifestation trend stems from inventor Nikola Tesla and his belief in numerology and ‘divine numbers’, but before you dismiss it and think it’s a bit too new age-y for you, the secret to the effectivity claimed by its practitioners is perhaps in the simple repetition of things.
Borne out of the uncertainty of the pandemic, the 3-6-9 manifestation method feels akin to taking measured breaths into calming yourself into a meditative state, or a silent prayer. The 3, 6, and 9 times you have to write down your goals brought structure to the seeming chaos of the situation while highlighting the positive things you can still have in the world. With the repetitive action, it becomes part of your thoughts, channeling the law of attraction mantra of how your thoughts directly affect your reality. These lead to a way of reminding ourselves of how we can, perhaps, overcome the odds.
Here are the simple steps to find out if it works for you:
Know your goal, something you want to improve in your life, and formulate a positive statement about it. The more specific it is, the better. Make sure that you express it as if you already have it now: “I am so happy to be studying in the university with the best science program in the country”, “I have saved up enough for my dream trip to Greenland”
Write it down 3 times in the morning as soon as you wake up. Write it down 6 times at midday. And again, write it down 9 times before going to bed. Make sure that every time you write it, you visualize it in your head as well.
Some say do this for 21 days, others for 33 days, while others for 45 days. Whichever is best, the key is to be consistent.
It doesn’t stop there! In addition to writing, you have to take an aligned action that makes your goal a possibility. Many think that after writing down those goals, they merely wait for them to become real. How it works is you must take a step towards the goal and the road will appear.
Owning our goals is essential to achieving them, especially as we feel the uncertainty of everything that is new falling upon us at the seeming end to the pandemic. What has changed? Probably how the entire world works. What hasn’t changed? Our goals. How do we reconcile them? By manifesting a promise where being positive is no longer a scary thing while taking the first step to making the world a beautiful place to be in again.
To bring back beauty into the world, Unilever is helping us affirm our goals with positive manifestations. Coming to terms with the beauty we want to own helps us grow into the best version of ourselves, become more productive and responsible, and have a positive impact on society and on the planet.
Self-care is an important step to feeling good about yourself. Before you find the good in others, you need to be happy with who you are.
