Have you ever noticed that once you start thinking about buying a red car, you suddenly see red cars everywhere? That’s not the universe playing tricks on you—it’s your brain doing exactly what it’s designed to do: confirm your beliefs. Today we’re talking about using confirmation bias in manifesting to your benefit and manifest the life you love.

What Is Confirmation Bias?
A lot of people believe manifestation is about making things appear out of thin air. But manifestation doesn’t work like magic – it works through awareness of being. Your human self doesn’t manifest anything, your I AM does. And it happens through what we’re aware of, which is why this whole journey for me starts and ends with awareness. If you want to see how your awareness has already been expanding, read or watch here about the signs you’re levelling up in consciousness.
If your dominant identity is, “I am not enough” or “I am failing at this,” then even your most focused visualization can’t override that. You still manifest perfectly – just it’s your fears and limiting beliefs instead of the life you want.
Confirmation bias is the brain’s tendency to interpret the world in a way that supports what you already believe. In manifestation terms? It means if you believe “it’s working,” you’ll notice signs it is. But if you believe “nothing’s happening,” your mind will find evidence for that, too.
The good news? You can train your mind to expect success – and watch your external world shift accordingly. We can absolutely use confirmation bias in manifesting to our benefit.
Be honest with yourself: where does your attention go during the day? Do you focus more on your end goal or how things don’t seem to go as you want them to?
How to brainwash yourself into success
The truth is: success in manifestation doesn’t come from finding the “perfect” technique. It comes from cultivating a disciplined mind and maintaining a clean mental diet – and honestly, that’s the real challenge. The only challenge really.
That means training your mind to focus on what’s lovely, what’s uplifting, and what feels aligned with your awareness of being, using the confirmation bias in manifesting. As Neville Goddard taught:
“Whatsoever things are lovely and of good report, think on these things.”
This isn’t just poetic – it’s psychological. It’s confirmation bias in action. When you condition your mind to expect beauty, worthiness, and success, your brain starts filtering life through that lens. You begin to manifest effortlessly not by force, but by expectation.
Below are 5 action-based ways to do exactly that.
1. Choose Your Assumptions Intentionally (Then Let the World Prove Them Right)
Your dominant assumptions create your reality. If you walk around thinking “This isn’t working,” your mind will scan your environment for proof of failure. But if you wake up and say, “Everything is working in my favour,” confirmation bias kicks in and your brain begins searching for alignment.
🧠 Do this:
- Pick one powerful belief (e.g., “I am supported” or “It’s all unfolding perfectly”) and make it your anchor for the day – a reminder that helps you to change your state here and now. Watch how life starts reflecting that truth back to you in small and unexpected ways.
2. Train Your Mental Filter to Focus on What You Do Want
Where your attention goes, energy flows—and your perception follows. If you’re hyper-aware of everything that’s not working, that’s what will dominate your reality.
🧠 Do this:
- Catch yourself when you mentally spiral or focus on lack. Gently redirect your thoughts toward what’s lovely, aligned, or possible. Think: “If I already had what I wanted, how would I be seeing this moment?”
- Let your mind expect beauty, alignment, and success—even before there’s 3D evidence.
Start with gratitude for what’s already here. This opens your heart and raises your vibration immediately. Blessing the good we have is like giving the Source know more can come into our lives and be received with grace.
3. Make Everything a Sign That It’s Working
People often wait for signs in the 3D to confirm their desire is “coming.” But that can keep you stuck in waiting mode – the 3D is dead and nothing is happening here. Instead, flip the script.
🧠 Do this:
- Decide that EVERYTHING is a sign of success. Saw someone get something you want? Great – it’s a collective success and it’s in your awareness. Someone said a phrase that mirrors your affirmation? Amazing – your world is reflecting you. Experiencing a “partial manifestation”? Wow – it’s in your awareness!! Train your mind to see everything as confirmation, not contradiction.
4. Reprogram Your Subconscious Through Repetition and Exposure
The subconscious mind learns by repetition, emotion, and familiarity. To shift your dominant story, you must expose yourself constantly to the feelings, images, and beliefs aligned with your desire.
🧠 Do this:
- Create a “success evidence” folder – screenshots, testimonials, moments when you felt aligned and your past manifestation successes. Look at it daily. Write or record affirmations that reinforce your desired identity and listen to them when you’re most suggestible (like just before sleep) or whenever you need them – use them as reminders and ways to shift your state immediately.
5. Observe Without Judgment, Then Choose Again
Your ego (aka “Regina”) loves to remind you why things aren’t working. Don’t argue with it – observe, feel, never resist, and choose again.
🧠 Do this:
- Ask yourself:
- “Who am I being right now?”
- “Is this thought aligned with where I’m going?”
- “What would the version of me who already has it do next?”
- Let emotions pass through without needing to suppress or fix them. Let go of controlling the outcome. Just keep redirecting your attention.
Conclusion
Confirmation bias in manifesting is not the enemy – it’s a gift. It’s a built-in mental system designed to help you confirm your assumptions.
So choose them wisely.
Manifestation becomes effortless when you stop trying to force results and start creating a mental environment where your desires feel normal. When peace, joy, and alignment become familiar, your outer world can’t help but mirror it.
You don’t manifest what you want. You manifest who you are being. Let that version of you take the lead.
