    About the Author

    Roxie Nafousi is a social media influencer turned self-development coach and author. Her journey to success was far from easy. She struggled with mental health issues and addiction, feeling trapped in an unhealthy lifestyle that she didn't know how to overcome. Everything changed for her in 2018 when she discovered the concept of manifesting and began working toward her ideal life. Today, she is an ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation and regularly writes about self-development for publications such as Marie Claire, Female First, and E! Online. Her second book, "Manifest: Dive Deeper," expands on her methods, offering deeper insights into harnessing one's full potential and creating lasting change.

    Main Idea

    What if you could create your dream life through the power of thought? Roxie Nafousi explains that this practice, called manifesting, is achievable for anyone. However, there’s more to the manifestation process than meets the eye. While many people see manifesting as simply picturing the thing you desire and receiving it, Nafousi explains that effective manifestation also requires you to fundamentally alter your mindset—your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. In "Manifest," Nafousi presents her method for adopting the mindset necessary to manifest and achieve anything you want in life.

    What is Manifestation and How Does It Work?

    Nafousi defines manifesting as the process of attracting what you want in life using a positive mindset—a combination of positive thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Manifestation is based on the Law of Attraction, which states that the energy we put out into the world attracts similar energy back to us. In other words, a positive mindset will attract positivity into our lives and propel us toward our goals, while a negative mindset will attract negativity and prevent us from reaching our goals.

    "To manifest the life of your dreams and become the best version of yourself, you must adopt a positive mindset—everything you think, do, and feel must attract the life that you desire." - Roxie Nafousi

    Nafousi's approach to manifestation is supported by her understanding of quantum physics, which posits that everything in the universe is made up of atoms vibrating at different frequencies. Thoughts, behaviors, and emotions impact the vibrational frequency that we emit—a positive mindset causes us to emit high vibrations that attract high vibrations in return, while a negative mindset causes us to emit low vibrations that attract more low vibrations.
