What do they mean by that? “Speak it into existence” is a popular phrase that describes a person’s hope and will to change their life. In this article, we’ll break down the term even further (from spiritual to religious contexts) and show you how to speak things into existence yourself. So, if you’re ready to make a change, keep reading.
Things You Should Know
- Speaking things into existence is a way of manifesting your life goals and dreams.
- In other words, if you want to speak something into existence, you say your desire out loud and let the universe do the rest.
- Writing down your goals, using positive affirmations, and visualizing your future are excellent ways to manifest.

How to Speak Things Into Existence
-
Write down your goals. Studies have shown that making a list of your hopes and dreams can help you achieve them faster. [3] X Research source Create a list of short- and long-term goals to better understand what you need to manifest.
- Your goals don’t have to be grand—they can be as simple as making your bed in the morning or trying out for the school play.
- Consider expanding on your goals. For instance, what comes next if you try out for the play? Do you want to land the lead role?
- Keep your list of goals somewhere you can see it every day. Save the list as your phone’s lock screen or hang a paper copy above your bed.
-
Visualize your goals coming true. Once you have your goals in mind, imagine them coming to life. How will you go about accomplishing them? What will achieving them feel like? Visualizing the outcome of a goal can lift your spirits and help lead you to success. [4] X Research source
- Do a mental rehearsal to boost your confidence. For instance, say you want to win your school debate. Go through the motions in your head: putting on your professional attire, checking your notecards, and walking up to the podium.
- Create a vision board . If you struggle to picture your goals in your mind, no worries! Cut out pictures of your dreams to put on your wall, or make a digital collage of everything you hope to accomplish.
- Imagine yourself as someone else. Think about who you admire that’s achieved similar goals. Then, imagine you’re them for a day. What would they do in your life to make your dream more obtainable?
-
Use positive affirmations. Believe it or not, how you talk to and about yourself really matters. Positive affirmations are one of the best ways to speak your dreams into existence. When you’re feeling low, remind yourself of what you want to accomplish with powerful, uplifting statements. [5] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source Here are some examples:
- I can do this.
- I am enough.
- When I fall, I get back up again.
- I am worthy of love and respect.
- I am resilient, strong, and brave.
- My goals and desires are worthwhile.
- I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to.
- I am working every day to be the best version of myself.
-
Live as if your goals are coming true. A main part of speaking things into existence is to believe, so trick your brain into thinking that your dreams have already come true. Pretend what you want is already in your hands—how does that change your behavior and mood?
- Let's say you want to win a basketball tournament. How would you play if you knew your team was going to win? Would you be more confident on the court? If so, embody that courage now rather than waiting for the win.
-
Be confident in yourself. Above all else, have faith that you can and will accomplish your goals. Anyone can change their destiny, but it takes strength, resilience, and courage, and we believe you can do it! You’re one amazing person, and if you believe in yourself , the universe will follow suit. [6] X Research source
- Build your self-confidence by reframing negative thoughts into positive ones. For instance, if you think, “I’m forgetful, and I hate myself for it,” reframe the thought to something more positive like, “I forgot this one thing, and that’s okay—people make mistakes.”
