If I were to say that the waiting game between thinking about something and actually seeing it happen is the most frustrating part of manifestation, how many of you would agree? Raise your hands! I see you.
It’s especially tough when you’re just starting to learn about the law of attraction, but you haven’t yet built up a track record of the universe having your back. It’s hard to have faith.
It’s kind of like being in the back seat of a car as a kid, knowing you’ll get to your destination eventually, but you just can’t help asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?!”
But after a few years and many successful manifestations, I’ve noticed some common signs that pop up again and again to remind me that the universe really does have things under control.
Just when you start to doubt, she’ll send you a sign. Just when you’re ready to give up, something will shake you out of your fog and remind you that your time is coming.
Today, I want to share five of those moments—the synchronicities and signs that your manifestation is almost here. Let’s start with…
You Keep Seeing Signs & Synchronicities
When your manifestation – or something even better – is getting close, you’ll start noticing signs and synchronicities. These could show up as repeating numbers, butterflies, rainbows, white feathers, or even things that remind you of your spirit guides.
For me, seeing 11:11 over and over is a sign that the universe is working its magic. I spot angel numbers on receipts, glance at my phone at just the right time, see them on my gas gauge, or notice them on the clock radio.
For you, it could be song lyrics, friends suddenly talking about what you’re trying to manifest, or even an ad on TV – these are all possible messages coming through.
Only you will truly understand the sign or synchronicity because it’s such a personal experience. But when it happens, take a moment to recognize it and remind yourself of the positive energy tied to your manifestation.
Even if it’s just for a second or two, sit with that feeling and amplify the good vibes. It’s also a great opportunity to snap out of any negative thoughts you might be having.
You Feel High Vibe
One sign that your manifestation is close is when you feel this excited energy in the air. You wake up with a spring in your step and realize that all this positive thinking might actually be working.
For me, when I hit this high-energy state, it feels like a snowball effect—it just keeps building.
But here’s the catch: a lot of people struggle at this point because they assume everything is about to come crashing down. And then, they start sabotaging themselves, riding the wave of happiness but expecting it to fail.
How many of you have had that moment where your vibes are high, and you’re seeing real progress, but then you somehow press your self-sabotage button and make everything fall apart? I bet some of you are nodding right now.
If this sounds like you, here’s something to think about: if you spend your whole life avoiding those happy moments because you’re scared it’ll all fall apart, then you’ll end up stuck in a cycle of tough challenges, or constantly worrying about problems that haven’t even happened yet… and might never happen at all. What kind of life is that?
Every time you feel like it’s too good to be true, try forcing yourself to stay in the happiness for just a moment. Then, a little longer, and longer after that. Eventually, you’ll train yourself to resist hitting that self-sabotage button the moment you feel good. It might take time, but this is all about rewiring your energy.
The Universe Tests You
This might be a bit tricky to wrap your head around at first, but once you start noticing signs that your manifestation is close, the universe might throw a test or two your way.
For example, if you’re looking for love, you might keep meeting people who aren’t quite right for you. This is the universe’s way of making sure you’re really clear about what you want in a partner. It’s asking you to be sure about the qualities you want, what you’re not willing to accept, and what you truly want from a relationship.
The same could happen if you’re searching for the perfect house or your dream job. You might face some challenges or obstacles along the way, but in my opinion, that makes the end result even sweeter.
Sure, manifestations that come easily are great, but it’s unrealistic to think everything in life will just be handed to us. So, welcome those tests and challenges—they’re there for a reason. The universe is just making sure that the manifestation you want is the right one for you.
You’re No Longer Clinging On
I recently wrote a blog post about why your manifestation might not be working, and one of the reasons is the tight grip you have on what you’re trying to attract.
But when your manifestation is close, you’ll notice that you’re much more relaxed about it.
It’s like the classic story—when you stop looking for love, it suddenly shows up. The same thing happens with the law of attraction. As soon as you stop holding on so tightly, you’ll feel the energy of what you’re trying to manifest getting closer.
The great thing about being relaxed with your manifestation is that you may start noticing even better things than what you originally wanted. And we know that if the universe sees something even more perfect for you, it’ll bring that into your life instead.
Your manifestation might not always look exactly how you imagined, but by letting go of control, you’ll find it easier to trust what’s coming and see it for what it truly is.

You Start To Make Room…Without Realising
When you start raising your energy to a higher frequency, things that no longer match that vibe will begin to fall away. This could mean friends, contacts, jobs, or clients—anything that drains your energy or doesn’t serve you.
If energy attracts similar energy, why would negative people still be a match for you? Those who aren’t in line with your new vibe will start to fade out, making space for new, more aligned connections.
So, if you notice certain people drifting away or things starting to disappear, even if it feels a little unsettling at first, just know that it’s making room for something better suited to your future.
Think of it like the leaves falling in autumn—it’s not a bad thing because we know something even better is coming in the spring. Our energy works the same way.
