WASHINGTON: So you want money ... love ... success? Have you thought about trying to think about it - really hard - until your goals materialize?

That, at least, is a core principle behind the trend, increasingly popular in pandemic times, of"manifesting", a mix of positive thinking and magical practices.

The phenomenon of positive thinking, which originated in the US with the 19th-century New Thought movement and was newly popularized in 2006 by writer/producer Rhonda Byrne in her documentary"The Secret", has gained fresh momentum among young Americans since the coronavirus pandemic struck. Salifou insisted that through"manifesting", she had been able to realize $2,000 in sales of various items - plus an amorous relationship, after writing about it in her diary.

This new viral trend, dismissed as pseudoscience by its detractors, has given rise to a plethora of for-fee courses and programs that claim to teach the art of positive thinking to neophytes."The pandemic gave people the time to reflect on where their life is. Are they happy? It kind of forced them to look at things in a different way, and to be potentially more open-minded," said Concha.
