The process of bringing a desired outcome into physical reality is known as manifestation. You have the ability to manifest almost anything, from someone dreaming about you to a new job to money.

But, can you manifest a best friend? The answer is YES!

Manifesting a best friend essentially means attracting someone into your life who becomes your best friend.

This does not always happen right away; it usually takes some time.

According to the Law of Attraction, our thoughts create our reality. In order for us to be able to manifest a best friend, we have to set an intention for it.

Like attracts like, the Law of Attraction states.

This law applies to friendships as well.

Keep on reading to find how to manifest a best friend into your life in 5 simple steps.

Step 1: Define What You Want and Why You Want to Manifest it.

The first step towards manifesting a best friend is to get clear about what you want to manifest and why.

When you know exactly what you want to manifest, it is much easier to get into the feeling of that experience and attract it into your life.

I’ve found that journaling is the best way to gain clarity over your desires.

So, take out your journal and ask yourself the following questions:

Why do you want to manifest a best friend?
What exact qualities this person will have? Make a list of all the characteristics.

Once you’ve created this list, make sure that the expectations are reasonable for someone else to meet.

Once we set ourselves up for failure by creating an unrealistic wishlist, it’s difficult not to become discouraged when our wishes don’t come true!

This step is very important, so you’ll need to be very specific when answering these questions.

Make sure you’re clear on the type of friend you’re looking for. You’ll know when you’ll find them.

Step 2: Visualize Having Fun with Your Best Friend.

The second step in manifesting a best friend is to visualize spending time with them and having fun.

Whatever energy and focus you put out into the Universe will be returned to you.

So, for this exercise, find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed and turn off or put your phone on airplane mode.

To relax your mind and body, take a few deep breaths.

Begin the visualization process by recalling your desire and what you wrote down in step one.

Visualize that you’ve found someone who has the majority of the qualities you seek in a best friend.

Visualize that you have similar interests and are now having fun and spending quality time together.

Feel the joy it brings you. You want to be surrounded by this type of energy when manifesting.

According to the Law of Attraction, when you are happy, joyful, and loving, you will attract experiences that match your energy.

As a result, use this practice to quickly raise your vibrational state.

Step 3: Eliminate any Limiting Beliefs.

Limiting beliefs are the negative thoughts that we all have about ourselves and others.

These thoughts frequently prevent us from living our lives to the fullest.

Limiting beliefs can range from “I’m not good enough” to “people will never like me.”

Some examples of limiting beliefs when trying to manifest a best friend are:

I’m not good enough.
I’m awkward in social situations.
I will never have a best friend.
People think I’m weird.

We all have limiting beliefs; it’s just the way our brains are wired, but the good news is that we can change those negative thoughts into positive ones.

Step 4: Recite Positive Affirmations for Friendships.

Affirmations are the best way to counteract these limiting beliefs. They can assist you in developing positive habits, breaking negative ones, and changing your outlook on life.

Affirmations can be words or phrases that reflect our desires in life. There is no one way to use them; affirmations should resonate with the person who speaks them into existence.

To begin, choose any of the friendship affirmations that speak to you and use them whenever you need to combat negative thoughts.

Friendships come easily to me.
I attract fun, loving, and vibrant relationships.
I enjoy being with caring people.
I connect with people easily.
I love making friends wherever I go.
I am blessed with having such wonderful friends.
I bring out the best in others.
I always get along with people with a variety of interests.
I build healthy, solid, and strong relationships with people.
I am a best friend.
People like spending time with me.
I am a loyal friend, and people like me.
It feels so refreshing to be seen, understood, and loved for my empathy and weirdness.

Repeat each affirmation a few times to determine which ones resonate with you.

Choose a few that make you happy and repeat them every morning and night to raise your vibration and attract a best friend into your life.

You can also write your own affirmations! No one knows you or your situation better than you.

Step 5: Detach Yourself from the Outcome.

The last step in manifesting a best friend into your life is to simply let go and allow your manifestation to come true.

Many people commit the error of becoming obsessed with the desired outcome rather than letting it go.

They are constantly concerned with the specific person, whether or not their manifestation was successful, and when it will occur.

Spend as little time as possible worrying about the outcome. When you become obsessed with the results, you are expressing your disbelief in the Universe.

The most important takeaway from this story is to be patient and trust that the Universe has your back.

Even if you want a best friend, I want you to be open to all of the possibilities that are available to you. The last thing you want is for your attachment to a specific outcome to block your manifestation.

Be open and welcoming to the people in your life. Take a chance on someone who appears to be a fun companion or confidante.

You never know when you’ll meet the right person who will become more than just friends – it could happen at any time!

In Summary

We all want a best friend. In order to find your new BFF, you need to be the person that is looking for one.

Manifesting a best friend is similar to manifesting a romantic partner, but you are far less likely to encounter resistance because your needs are more general.

So, you are more likely to manifest what you are looking for!

Keep in mind that we are powerful creators with the ability to shape our own lives.

Happy manifesting!
