One of the side effects of going to school for psychology is that I'll probably always want to do a literature search to answer any lingering questions I have about behavior even if I don't have to hand in a term paper and no one is going to be checking my references. :) But the main reason for it is--wouldn't it be amazing to have actual evidence that there are techniques that really work for manifesting? Sometimes we have a hard time developing habits for things that we already know will work (like exercise)--but with something like manifesting it can be even harder, because it's somewhat ephemeral, and we're not even really sure what *it* is, even if we know it's a process. So that's what this post is all about. After sharing what my personal experiences have taught me and those of others, I want to share with you what the research shows.
