As we approach 2026, millions of Americans will set New Year's resolutions for love, abundance and health—but only 9% keep them, according to a study from Ohio State University.
Americans are increasingly focused on conscious living and personal transformation. Yoga studios are packed, Fortune 500 CEOs are meditating, and an unprecedented number of people are doing inner work to become the best version of themselves.
To overcome the age-old quandary of abandoning New Year’s resolutions by February 1, more people are learning how to "Manifest" (Cambridge Dictionary's Word of the Year) their dreams into reality.
Manifestation is the practice of transforming thoughts and intentions into reality by aligning your emotions, beliefs, and actions with your desired outcome. Using techniques like visualization, affirmations, and daily rituals, practitioners get clear on what they want, cultivate the feeling of already having it, and take inspired action while maintaining positive energy.
Gaia.com, dubbed "Spiritual Netflix" by Parade, has 10,000+ films and series on wellness and personal growth including robust content on how to manifest.
The conscious streaming giant has gone from niche to mainstream in 2025 as more people than ever before—men and women—have joined the platform seeking personal growth.

Gaia recently launched its first AI Guides which offer personalized spiritual guidance to its members. To make New Year’s resolutions stick, Gaia recommends combining the ancient practice of manifestation with the modern technology of AI and offers key prompts below.
Here are 4 AI Prompts to Manifest the 2026 of Your Dreams
