  You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
• 0:11
  I'm your host Holly Edwards and together we can help create your magic.
• 0:22
  Hello my gorgeous manifestors welcome
• 0:26
  back to the manifestation station it is
• 0:29
  holly here i am your host think of me as your down-to-earth manifesting guide
• 0:35
  we are living a life full of magic mindset shifts and just daily moments that
• 0:40
  change everything that is what we are here doing now how are your weeks?
• 0:47
  How is your day today? How are you doing?
• 0:50
  I'm sending you love. I'm sending you light. I'm sending you an episode today
• 0:56
  that I think might just blow your socks off.
• 1:01
  This episode is life changing.
• 1:06
  Honestly, I promise you this is going to change your life. If you just do this
• 1:13
  one thing in this episode, I guarantee you life is going to get really, really good.
• 1:21
  You are going to be attracting things left, right and center.
• 1:25
  But ultimately, you are just going to be walking on cloud nine.
• 1:31
  So today's episode is a really special one.
• 1:35
  And actually, it has been born out
• 1:38
  of a video that I posted last week on Instagram and
• 1:41
  it is completely blown up it has gone
• 1:44
  viral and I think the reason is
• 1:48
  is that it has resonated with so many people including myself which is why I
• 1:53
  made the video what I said in this video was I said every morning you should
• 1:59
  look for reasons why this could just be the best day of your life because we
• 2:04
  wake up in a day to day in Day to day,
• 2:06
  we have day to day life, stresses, routines,
• 2:10
  school runs, work commutes, you know, whatever you've got going on.
• 2:14
  We have life going on and sometimes we go, oh, I've got this today or this is going to be hard.
• 2:20
  But I saw this post and it said that you should actually practice this theory, which is that every day,
• 2:29
  every morning, you should look for reasons why this might just be the best day of your life.
• 2:38
  Now, the best bit about this, and I said this in the video, is that it becomes addictive.
• 2:44
  It's like the most amazing life game that you could play.
• 2:49
  It becomes addictive because you start noticing more beauty,
• 2:55
  nature, tiny pockets of glimmers of happiness during your day.
• 3:00
  But also it puts you, it's like it opens your eyes to the natural beauty that
• 3:06
  is in the world, whether that's, you know, your kids eating around the breakfast
• 3:10
  table, it could be, I went for a walk.
• 3:13
  Let me tell you on the, in fact, I'll tell you about this particular day in a minute.
• 3:17
  I'm getting so excited. I'm jumping right ahead to the end of the podcast.
• 3:21
  So let me go back to this theory. Every morning you should look for reasons
• 3:24
  why this could just be the best day of your life.
• 3:26
  Like I said, the reaction to this has been incredible. It has hit home with
• 3:30
  so many people because it is so simple it is so easy to do but my goodness it is so.
• 3:38
  Powerful what I want you to think about is who's to say that today isn't going
• 3:46
  to be the best day of your life,
• 3:48
  This episode, we are going to dive deep into this mindset and how to live in
• 3:53
  a way where you wake up every morning with that fresh possibility that anything could happen today.
• 4:02
  You don't know what lies ahead for you today.
• 4:05
  And even if you think, oh, it's going to be a bad day, I've got a horrible meeting
• 4:10
  coming up or I've got a horrible commute to do.
• 4:13
  Honestly, if you start thinking in this way, look
• 4:16
  for reasons why this could be the best day of your life just think
• 4:20
  that every morning you have a fresh possibility and
• 4:24
  how that can shift not only your mood but what
• 4:27
  you attract in we'll talk about the
• 4:30
  little things big things the manifesting magic and
• 4:33
  of course I'll also be sharing some practical
• 4:36
  tips to actually help you live it and not just think
• 4:39
  it and that is the key for this episode like I
• 4:41
  really want you to try this because once you
• 4:44
  try it you will too will realize how
• 4:47
  addictive it is and you won't be able to stop
• 4:50
  now imagine what that can bring into your life and this is all about the power
• 4:57
  of perspective it's let's start with the really simple part so the reason this
• 5:02
  mindset trick works is because our brains are wired to look for what we tell them to look for.
• 5:10
  Spoken about this on previous episodes, we have something called the RAS,
• 5:15
  the reticular activating system.
• 5:17
  So we tell the brain what to look for and then the RAS clicks in and looks for more of those things.
• 5:23
  It's like when we're manifesting and I tell you to focus on what it is that
• 5:27
  you want because your RAS clicks in and it looks for either reasons to back
• 5:32
  up your thought process or what you're focusing on, it will bring you more.
• 5:37
  So think about that. If you wake up and you think.
• 5:41
  Oh, this day is going to be so hard, you will subconsciously look for proof
• 5:47
  all day long that that is going to be hard, that today is going to be hard.
• 5:52
  So you'll look for and notice the traffic.
• 5:56
  I don't know, the rude person in the shop that served you, your emails piling
• 6:00
  up that you can't reply to.
• 6:02
  You are hardwired to look for reasons to back up your statement of this day is going to be hard.
• 6:08
  But if you wake up and you think, okay, maybe today might just be the best day of my life.
• 6:17
  Suddenly your brain flips, your RAS kicks into action and will look for things
• 6:24
  to back that statement up.
• 6:26
  You will start noticing the beauty in every moment. And what I love about this.
• 6:32
  What I absolutely love is that beauty is in everything.
• 6:38
  Even on your worst days, even on your bad days, even on your low days,
• 6:42
  there is always beauty around you. You just have to notice it. So,
• 6:48
  The day I filmed that video, I was actually feeling pretty low in the morning.
• 6:52
  I was a bit like, oh, I was a bit sluggish. I was tired.
• 6:56
  You know, life was happening. I was just feeling a little bit low.
• 7:00
  And I tried this video and I said, okay, let's look for reasons why this might
• 7:04
  just be the best day of your life.
• 7:06
  And what I want to kind of reiterate here is nothing massive happened to me. I put on some good music.
• 7:13
  I went for a really early walk. And then you know what?
• 7:16
  Like I didn't win the lottery it wasn't that but I
• 7:20
  went for this walk right and I got around the corner and
• 7:23
  it was sort of it was quite early in the morning so it's
• 7:26
  about 5 30 so if you don't know about this this about me I've been trying to
• 7:29
  join I'm not trying I have succeeded in joining the 5 a.m club getting up just
• 7:35
  that little bit earlier so that I can start my day with movement start it with
• 7:41
  a little bit of positivity and every day honestly it makes such a difference so.
• 7:46
  I walked around the corner it was still a little bit dark I
• 7:49
  was still a little bit tired the sun hadn't come up yet walked around
• 7:52
  the corner and I saw a deer
• 7:55
  and I saw a deer just meandering around
• 7:58
  this house just in the garden and it looked at me and it
• 8:01
  ran off and I thought oh now I always think
• 8:04
  for me when I see a deer I feel like it's really lucky it's like
• 8:07
  a lucky thing for me and I thought wow that's amazing
• 8:10
  because I'm up early and I've had this walk how beautiful so
• 8:13
  I carried on and then you know
• 8:16
  what the sunrise oh my god the sun
• 8:19
  came up across the fields it was
• 8:22
  like a little bit a little bit foggy across the fields the sun
• 8:25
  came up the light was pink it was golden there
• 8:29
  were butterflies flying past me honestly I've never
• 8:33
  taken them before but I imagine what it's like if you take magic
• 8:36
  mushrooms I felt elated and
• 8:39
  then I walked through this field and I
• 8:43
  came face to face with two deer and they
• 8:46
  didn't scurry away they didn't run off they looked at me in the eye and they
• 8:51
  didn't leave I must have been only about five meters from them maybe less and
• 8:57
  I crouched down just thinking oh my goodness how lucky am I what a gorgeous, gorgeous moment.
• 9:07
  And I was there for about 10 minutes just soaking it up. And do you know what
• 9:11
  this deer did not take its eye off me? It was just...
• 9:15
  I don't know, you know, when you feel like you have a bit of a spiritual moment, it was just beautiful.
• 9:21
  And do you know what? It was one of those mornings where it was like nature
• 9:25
  was just really showing off.
• 9:27
  But also it was like I tuned into this channel of noticing like everything,
• 9:33
  the colors of the sky, the nature, the animals.
• 9:38
  The music playing in my ear, just
• 9:40
  me and the puddles and it was
• 9:43
  phenomenal and I put this video
• 9:46
  online and it has gone viral and everyone was
• 9:49
  like I do this or I'm going to try this and people have
• 9:52
  reported back saying this totally changed
• 9:55
  my day I've had people just saying you know
• 9:58
  my teenage son came and hugged me
• 10:01
  before school it was the best day ever so these
• 10:04
  weren't massive things but also I'm going
• 10:07
  to get on to something in the minute that big things happen too
• 10:10
  but the point is that these small
• 10:14
  moments sometimes which we might just let pass us
• 10:17
  by we're not noticing whereas actually do
• 10:20
  you know what I felt like that was the best day of my life and you
• 10:23
  know I've been bombarded with messages since which kind
• 10:26
  of have made that like one of the best days ever people saying
• 10:30
  this has made me feel so good and this
• 10:33
  has picked up my mood and this has changed my week this
• 10:36
  has changed my day guess what happened to me and it
• 10:38
  has been beautiful so step one
• 10:43
  of this mindset shift it's train
• 10:46
  your brain to spot the beauty in every day because I promise you it exists and
• 10:51
  if you're listening to this podcast today thinking I'm feeling rubbish I'm feeling
• 10:57
  low maybe you've got stuff going on in your life at the moment you're feeling
• 11:00
  pretty rubbish about just think today Bye.
• 11:04
  Today could be the best day of your life and look out for it because like I
• 11:10
  say I promise you it exists in every single day but we have to actually look for it.
• 11:17
  That's about spotting the small moments however however this is the juicy bit
• 11:23
  guys because there are big possibilities that exist in your day-to-day.
• 11:29
  That could just make your day the best day that you have ever had.
• 11:35
  So yes, it's about appreciating the small things, but also who's to say that
• 11:40
  something life-changing isn't going to happen to you today?
• 11:45
  Like today could be the day where maybe you get your first client for your new
• 11:51
  business, your new startup, your new side hustle.
• 11:54
  Maybe you get your first paying client today.
• 11:58
  Maybe you go viral on Instagram. I know many of my clients are trying to set
• 12:03
  up businesses at the moment.
• 12:05
  And maybe you go viral today. Maybe all of those posting reels and posting quotes
• 12:10
  and posting your life activities,
• 12:13
  maybe today is the day where people resonate and those likes start to go up
• 12:18
  and those views like to go up. Maybe today is that day.
• 12:22
  Maybe if you're single maybe today is
• 12:25
  the day that you bump into your soulmate maybe you
• 12:29
  go and take yourself to a coffee shop and you meet your soulmate in the queue
• 12:33
  maybe they ask you out on a date maybe you meet your soulmate at work today
• 12:38
  maybe someone comes into your office maybe they're temping maybe you meet them
• 12:42
  at work today maybe you have to get a bus to work today and maybe you meet your soulmate on the bus.
• 12:48
  Who's to say that the love of your life doesn't step into your life today?
• 12:53
  Maybe your name is being mentioned in meeting rooms that you aren't aware of today.
• 12:59
  Maybe your name is being mentioned amongst your peers where they are talking
• 13:04
  about maybe deciding to give you a promotion.
• 13:07
  Like I say, this doesn't always mean that, you know, it's landing on your doorstep
• 13:12
  today, but maybe you are being promoted today in a room of people deciding to promote you.
• 13:19
  Maybe you receive a phone call today that changes your direction.
• 13:24
  Maybe you receive a phone call that brings you some good luck today.
• 13:29
  What could that phone call be? What could that text message be?
• 13:32
  Maybe you find 20 quid on the street
• 13:34
  today and it makes you jump and skip around for the rest of the day.
• 13:39
  You know, it's a small thing, but abundance shows up in weird and wonderful ways.
• 13:45
  Think about the people you admire, authors, business owners, content creators.
• 13:51
  They all had that one day, that one day where something shifted.
• 13:56
  Maybe they got their book deal.
• 13:58
  Maybe they got their viral video.
• 14:00
  Maybe they got their opportunity to.
• 14:03
  But they didn't wake up knowing that today was going to be the best day of their
• 14:07
  life. It was just a Tuesday.
• 14:10
  It was just an ordinary day.
• 14:13
  And therefore, they got some really good news. And maybe this turned into their best day ever.
• 14:19
  So just imagine if you lived like that every day.
• 14:22
  Think about that for a moment. That if you walked around with this mindset every
• 14:27
  day, that today could just be the best day of your life.
• 14:30
  Think about how that would
• 14:33
  shift your day how that would shift your
• 14:36
  mindset how would you carry yourself you'd be much more open excited and magnetic
• 14:43
  to life you will be magnetic to the energy that you want to be and when when
• 14:49
  you are excited and you are magnetic and you are seeing the joy in every day.
• 14:55
  You jump onto a frequency that the universe loves, a place, a frequency where
• 15:01
  the universe delivers your desires.
• 15:04
  When you are on that frequency and you are bouncing around in the day,
• 15:08
  knowing that this could be just the best day of your life or knowing this is
• 15:12
  the best day of your life, then you're on a frequency where you attract things
• 15:16
  naturally into your life, more things,
• 15:20
  more beauty, more good luck, more attraction of your actual desires.
• 15:25
  And here's where the manifestation comes in. Because when you start looking
• 15:29
  at life this way, you're raising your vibration.
• 15:34
  Manifestation is really about alignment.
• 15:38
  And alignment happens when you're open, you're excited, you're grateful, and you're expectant.
• 15:45
  If you start your morning scanning, scanning for proof that life is good,
• 15:51
  that good things are on the way, you're literally signaling the universe.
• 15:56
  You're like, I'm ready. I'm available.
• 15:59
  Send all the good things my way, guys. Like universe, I'm ready.
• 16:03
  Here I am. And the universe is like, hey, friend.
• 16:06
  Yes, I feel your energy. And I'm going to send it all to you.
• 16:10
  All the good news, all the phone calls, all the soulmates, every bit of good
• 16:15
  news is going to come your way.
• 16:16
  And that starts by you scanning for proof, scanning for proof that it's the
• 16:21
  best day of your life or that it could be the best day of your life.
• 16:24
  It doesn't mean that you have to walk around going, this is the best day of
• 16:27
  my life. This is the best day.
• 16:29
  It's just saying that, who's to say that this isn't going to be the best day of your life.
• 16:34
  That's the mindset we're looking for and because
• 16:37
  like attracts like the universe will meet you
• 16:40
  there and this is where it's so addictive guys if you if you follow this through
• 16:47
  promise me you follow it through it becomes addictive because why would you
• 16:51
  not want to walk around feeling that way every day you'll find yourself saying,
• 16:58
  okay, what is today's magic?
• 17:02
  What magic beholds me today? And you'll notice more synchronicities, more signs.
• 17:09
  Angel numbers, people mentioning opportunities at the exact right time and something
• 17:16
  snowballs because you have jumped onto that right frequency,
• 17:21
  the frequency see where all of your desires already live.
• 17:25
  Let me share a couple of stories with you from a couple of my clients,
• 17:29
  because I know you guys love it when it's just, these are real stories,
• 17:35
  real stories, down-to-earth stories, real stories that can happen to you as well.
• 17:41
  So one of my clients have been trying this practice. So they're waking up every
• 17:45
  day and saying, what if today is the best day of my life?
• 17:49
  So she told me that one morning, she went to her normal coffee shop.
• 17:54
  She sat in her normal seat in her coffee that she actually says that she normally
• 17:57
  has like a rushed 15 minutes before work. So she went to her coffee shop.
• 18:03
  She ordered her same coffee, sat in the same seat. And she ended up sitting
• 18:07
  to someone who worked in the exact same industry that she was trying to break into.
• 18:13
  So they got chatting. And before they knew it, the energy was going.
• 18:16
  And this woman said to her well hold on a minute I can help
• 18:19
  you with that we're actually looking for someone to do
• 18:22
  this they got chatting they made a
• 18:25
  connection and two weeks later she
• 18:28
  was invited for a job interview so I haven't caught up with her yet about whether
• 18:34
  she got that job and what she's doing however the point of this is that that
• 18:40
  day she had no idea that something amazing was going to happen.
• 18:46
  She had no idea that going to that coffee shop, that actually it turned out
• 18:51
  to be her best decision and possibly one of the best days of her life.
• 18:56
  It sounds exaggerated like, was it the best day of her life?
• 18:59
  You know, when you have children, is that not the best day of your life?
• 19:02
  When you get married, whatever it is.
• 19:04
  However, this day was just an ordinary day and something amazing happened that
• 19:12
  she never expected in the morning.
• 19:14
  That is the kind of energy you
• 19:15
  need to walk around with, that something amazing can happen to me today.
• 19:19
  That's all you need to run with, that's it. Now, another friend of mine was
• 19:23
  doing this and she found a 50 pound note in the car park on the day that she started it.
• 19:28
  And she was like, oh my God, Holly, it's working.
• 19:31
  What's going on? And she said that she's kept the 50 pound note because she
• 19:34
  feels like it's a sign from the universe.
• 19:37
  I just love that energy. What is not to love about that?
• 19:42
  Now, I can give you countless stories, people that have flooded my DMs,
• 19:47
  honestly, after this video has gone viral. There are so many things,
• 19:50
  small things, big things that people have come to me with and said,
• 19:54
  this changed my day today. I did have the best day ever.
• 19:57
  And it's all because they started with that morning shift of saying maybe today
• 20:01
  could be the best day of my life.
• 20:04
  So for me personally some of my biggest opportunities
• 20:08
  whether that's collaborations or coaching clients or even just moments of kind
• 20:13
  of personal deep happiness they've come out of completely ordinary days where
• 20:19
  I thought that nothing was going to happen today but you know what I was open
• 20:23
  and ready and expecting life to surprise me.
• 20:27
  And boy, did the universe surprise me.
• 20:30
  How do you actually put this into practice then? Let's make it simple.
• 20:34
  There's a few steps here that I'm going to go through. So number one,
• 20:38
  it's your morning question.
• 20:40
  Before you even get out of bed, ask yourself, why could today be the best day of my life?
• 20:47
  Don't overthink it. Just let ideas flow naturally and easily.
• 20:52
  But ask yourself, Why could today be the best day of my life?
• 20:56
  Step two is to then look for beauty. Whether it's your morning coffee,
• 21:01
  the sunrise, a smile from a stranger, spot at least three beautiful things before lunchtime.
• 21:09
  That's all you need to do. This is so easy peasy, you cannot get it wrong.
• 21:14
  Number three, act as if. So if today were the best day of your life,
• 21:20
  how would you show up? Would you smile more would you take a chance on life maybe just try that out.
• 21:28
  Number four is to celebrate your small wins. So best days aren't always huge fireworks.
• 21:35
  Sometimes it's clarity, it's laughter, it's a hug.
• 21:39
  Count those as your evidence.
• 21:42
  So kind of tally those small wins up, keep an eye on them and make a note of them.
• 21:49
  And number five, step five is for evening reflection.
• 21:52
  So before bed ask yourself
• 21:56
  what made today amazing train
• 22:00
  your brain to end on gratitude now one
• 22:03
  of my episodes was a whole thing about daily gratitude daily
• 22:07
  glimmers now I actually think this is the one of the most useful practices in
• 22:13
  the manifesting handbook and it's to write down a list or make a mental note
• 22:19
  of a list of all the pockets of joy you experienced today.
• 22:24
  All of the glimmers, the moments of joy and write them down or make a mental note.
• 22:31
  Sometimes I write them down. If I'm tired, I close my eyes before I go to sleep
• 22:36
  and I run through all the lovely things that happened.
• 22:38
  And normally they are small glimmers.
• 22:41
  It might just be that I had a lovely text message from a friend.
• 22:44
  I watched the sunrise or I watched the sunset.
• 22:47
  I had a lovely conversation with someone in the shop. Just small things like
• 22:51
  that, small moments that have made me smile.
• 22:55
  And for you to do this as an evening reflection, what's lovely as well is that
• 22:59
  it's kind of saying to yourself before bedtime, it's kind of saying,
• 23:04
