The idea that we can “think” a goal into becoming reality took off with Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret, the 2006 best-selling book that brought manifesting into the mainstream. Twenty years later, the Oxford Dictionary named “manifesting” its Word of the Year, and across social media you can find videos of people who claim to have manifested everything, even their soulmate or dream home. It was only a matter of time until people began applying this method to their physical appearance, hoping to use the power of belief instead of products or cosmetic surgery to achieve smoother skin, a slimmer nose, or bigger breasts.

Self-styled “coaches” are profiting from claims that, with the right mindset, you can think yourself hot, a message that is especially appealing to young women. While a little positive thinking may seem harmless, psychologists urge caution: “A promise like ‘you can think your way into a better face or body’ offers a seductive sense of control in a culture that constantly tells young women they are being evaluated visually,” says Charlotte Markey, PhD, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University. These coaches are peddling an illusion, Dr. Markey continues, pointing out that, “at the end of the day, a lot of how we look is genetically determined and constrained by our resources—money, time, other responsibilities.” At the link in bio, writer Daisy Schofield delves into the wild world of beauty manifesting, from the women practicing it to the negative psychological and physical effects experts fear might emerge from the trend.
