TL;DR: The Monthly Alignment Ritual in 30 Seconds
- The Monthly Alignment Ritual helps you stay intentional with your goals by setting affirmations at the start of each month.
- Choose one main goal for the month and write 30 affirmations that reinforce it.
- Commit to a daily practice—reading, writing, or speaking your affirmations.
- Use structured techniques like the 3×33, 2×22, or 369 method to make them more powerful.
- The key is consistency and alignment—the more you repeat them, the more they integrate into your reality.
But knowing how to align with what I wanted didn’t always come easy.
I know I’m meant for greatness. I’ve always known.
But there have been times—too many times—when I felt stuck, like my vision was just sitting on a shelf, waiting for me to get it together.
And that’s the thing—I knew it wasn’t the universe holding me back. It was me. I was the one standing in my own way. I was the one telling the universe, over and over again, I’m not ready yet.
For the longest time, I thought I needed to “go with the flow.”
Just trust that things would work out. But the truth? That approach never worked for me.
If I’m honest, the only time I truly feel aligned, productive, and powerful is when I have structure—a clear system to follow, a strategy to keep me moving forward.
Maybe it’s because I was in the Army. I thrived in an environment where there was a plan, a process, and a clear next step.
And as much as people resist routine, I realized that structure is actually what gives me freedom.
That’s why I decided to put all my focus into creating structured strategies and rituals—ones that help people like me, who thrive with structure, bring manifestation into alignment with their vision.
And one of the most powerful rituals I use every month is my Monthly Alignment Ritual.
Why You Need a Monthly Alignment Ritual
The start of the month is a powerful time. It’s like a blank canvas—a fresh slate to set the tone for what’s to come. Instead of just hoping for things to go my way, I take control by setting a clear manifestation focus for the month.
Here’s the key: Manifestation needs clarity and consistency.
If you’re not constantly reinforcing your vision, you leave it up to chance.
That’s where affirmations come in.
Affirmations aren’t just “positive thinking.”
They are a reprogramming tool—a way to shift your subconscious into alignment with what you want. And when you structure them around a specific goal each month, you’re reinforcing the exact energy you want to embody.
“Manifestation isn’t about waiting—it’s about aligning. When you commit to structured rituals and intentional action, you create the space for what you desire to flow effortlessly into your life.”

How to Do the Monthly Alignment Ritual
Step 1: Get Clear on What You’re Manifesting This Month
Before writing your affirmations, ask yourself:
What is the one thing I am committed to manifesting this month?
Maybe it’s launching a business project, attracting love, improving your health, or stepping into confidence. Whatever it is, make it specific.
For example, my big vision is to have 1,000 people complete my course. But for this month, my focus is on launching the first module with ease and flow.
Yours might be:
- Attracting aligned opportunities for your career
- Feeling energized and healthy in your body
- Strengthening your relationships and connections
Whatever it is, choose one clear focus for the month.
Step 2: Write Affirmations Based on Your Manifestation Focus
Now that you have your focus, it’s time to anchor it into your subconscious with affirmations.
You’ll write one daily affirmation for the entire month that reinforces your vision.
It could look something like this:
Ease in my business:
- Everything I create flows effortlessly and impacts the right people.
- I am fully supported in my business growth.
- Opportunities to expand my reach come to me daily.
Health and Vitality
- My body is vibrant, strong, and energized.
- I nourish myself with love and care.
- Every day, I am becoming the healthiest version of me.
Deeper relationships:
- I attract loving and fulfilling connections effortlessly.
- I am worthy of deep, soul-nourishing relationships.
- I show up as my most authentic self in every interaction.
Where to Write Them:
- In a dedicated Affirmation Journal
- In a notes app or manifestation planner
- On sticky notes around your space
Step 3: Anchor Your Affirmations Into Your Daily Routine
It’s not enough to write your affirmations—you have to activate them consistently so they become a natural part of your mindset.
Your goal is to choose one method and commit to it. Trying to do everything at once can be overwhelming, so start with what feels the most natural.
Here’s how to make affirmations a consistent habit using a structured practice:
Morning Practice – Stack It With an Existing Habit
Best for: Setting a positive tone for the day.
- Read one affirmation aloud every morning, right after brushing your teeth, making coffee, or before checking your phone.
- The key is habit stacking—pairing your affirmation practice with something you already do daily so it becomes automatic.
- Example: While waiting for your tea to steep, repeat your affirmation:
- “Today, I attract aligned opportunities with ease.”
Pro Tip: Set a phone reminder or alarm with your affirmation so it pops up at the same time daily. I always set mine for 11:11 a.m. as a reminder of my affirmations for the month.
Mirror Work – Use Body Language to Reinforce It
Best for: Boosting self-confidence and self-belief.
- Look at yourself in the mirror and say your affirmation with full conviction—not just in your mind, but out loud.
- If you struggle with belief, say it while smiling, standing tall, and making eye contact with yourself. This trains your subconscious to accept the statement as truth.
- Example: While getting ready, say:
- “I am powerful, aligned, and fully capable of manifesting my desires.”
Pro Tip: Tape sticky notes with your affirmations to your mirror so you always see them and remember to say them.
Journaling – Reinforce It Through Repetition
Best for: Deep integration and subconscious reprogramming.
- Write down your affirmations consistently to reinforce them.
- The act of writing triggers your brain’s learning centers, making the affirmation feel more real.
- Example: In your Manifestation Journal, write:
- “Money flows to me easily and consistently.” (Repeat multiple times)
Pro Tip: Choose a structured manifestation writing technique that works for you, such as:
- 3×33 Method – Write your affirmation 33 times for 3 days in a row.
- 2×22 Method – Write two affirmations 22 times each for 2 days.
- 5×55 Method – Write your affirmation 55 times for 5 days straight.
- 369 Method – Write your affirmation 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon, and 9 times at night.
What makes this so powerful is that every single affirmation is directly tied to what you are manifesting for the month. You’re not just writing random affirmations—you’re reinforcing your specific vision and goals every single day.
Since you have 30 affirmations for the month, you can mix and match these techniques to keep your practice engaging. For example:
- Use the 3×33 method for one affirmation over the first 3 days.
- Switch to the 2×22 method for another affirmation for 2 days.
- Try the 5×55 method for a particularly powerful affirmation.
- Use the 369 method for the remaining days, choosing affirmations from your list.
No matter which technique you choose, the key is alignment—every affirmation you write is strengthening the exact thing you are calling into your life this month. That’s what makes this ritual so effective.
Visualization – Turn It Into a Mini-Meditation
Best for: Embodying the energy of your affirmation.
- Close your eyes and imagine yourself already living the affirmation—how does it feel?
- Engage your senses: What do you see, hear, smell? The more vivid your mental imagery, the more powerful the manifestation.
- Example: If your affirmation is:
- “I am thriving in my business and attracting dream clients.”
- Imagine yourself getting notifications of new clients, hearing payment confirmations, or feeling excitement as you check your bank balance.
Pro Tip: Do this before bed so your subconscious processes it overnight.
Making It Stick: Your Personalized Affirmation Habit Plan
To ensure you stay consistent, use this simple habit formula:
“When I [daily habit], I will [affirmation practice].”
- When I brush my teeth, I will say my affirmation in the mirror.
- When I drink my coffee, I will read my affirmation aloud.
- When I journal at night, I will write my affirmation three times.
- When I lay down at night, I will visualize my affirmation as reality.
Choose one method, commit to it for 30 days, and watch how your mindset shifts.
Bonus: Pair This Ritual With a Bay Leaf Manifestation
If you love ritual-based manifestation, take your most powerful affirmation for the month, write it on a bay leaf, and burn it as an activation ritual.
This adds an extra layer of symbolic release and alignment to your manifestation.
