1:06
manifesting and who you want to be and attracting things into your life,
1:11
the good news is I don't believe we're talking about massive life overhauls.
1:17
We are talking about tiny changes that create big results.
1:22
And that is why I love what I do because simple steps, small consistent steps
1:29
are what will impact your life.
1:31
And this is what we're talking about today.
1:34
We're talking about tiny changes, big results.
1:38
So like life-shifting, identity-altering, a glow-up from the inside out kind of thing.
1:46
And this episode today is all about 20 tiny habits that will change your life in six months.
1:54
So we're not talking about 20-hour morning routines, we're not quitting your
2:00
job and moving abroad and buying your dream home and blah, blah, blah.
2:03
We are talking tiny, practical, beautiful habits that you can start today.
2:10
So even if you're in your pyjamas, even if you're having a bit of a meh week
2:15
at the moment, even if you're still figuring it all out, because isn't everyone really?
2:21
And we're going to dive into that today. Now, I know a lot of you listen to
2:25
the podcast while you're walking, while you're working out, doing housework whilst you're driving.
2:30
So I'm going to give you 20 tiny habits. So just let them sink in.
2:34
If you're sitting down and you've got a piece of paper, you can write them down.
2:39
But if you're thinking, oh my God, I've forgotten all these because I'm walking
2:42
or I'm running, it's fine.
2:44
Maybe just pick one today and go, I'm going to go with that.
2:47
You don't have to do all 20 immediately.
2:49
This is like a bit of an inspiring episode where you go, do you know what?
2:52
I'm just going to take a couple of those for inspiration.
2:55
And when you're feeling like you need that little push or you're kind of like
2:59
going, you know what, I'm going to dig into that again.
3:01
Just pop this episode back on, re-listen, jot these down.
3:05
So let's dive straight in for our 20 habits that will change your life in just six months.
3:12
Can I also just say they will change your life in six months if we're doing them as a habit.
3:17
But also if you do one of these today, it does something,
3:20
it shifts something so you can start this today
3:23
number one is really simple we're starting with simple because
3:26
if you're like oh god I cannot do anything today
3:30
and maybe could I also just say sorry you're probably
3:32
thinking I'm waffling now now that I've started I can't stop what I'm noticing
3:37
at the moment is and are you noticing the same this is what I want to ask you
3:42
what I'm finding at the moment is that everybody feels everybody I know seems
3:49
to feel a little bit off at the moment.
3:51
A little bit like...
3:53
A little bit what they keep saying is stuck, a little bit off balance emotionally,
3:59
mentally, and just thinking, you know, not feeling great, you know,
4:03
not illness wise, just kind of like, what am I doing with my life?
4:07
Or just feeling like their moods are a bit low.
4:10
They're a bit stale in their workplace. And if you Google Mercury in retrograde,
4:16
we are in it at the moment.
4:17
And really, I actually should have done an episode on it, but it started a week or two weeks ago.
4:23
And it actually finishes next week if you're thinking what on
4:26
earth is she talking about then do
4:29
me a favor and google mercury in retrograde but
4:33
to cut a very very long story short and
4:35
to put it simply something is like an astrological
4:39
event that happens a few times
4:41
a year and what happens it's the way one of
4:45
the planets is moving and it makes us appear to
4:48
be moving backwards and it's meant
4:51
to be this event where people believe and I
4:53
truly believe because things happen around Mercury and
4:56
retrograde all the time is that life goes
5:00
a bit chaotic life goes a bit unbalanced things
5:03
might break you might feel like you don't know what you're
5:06
doing with your life anyway we are in
5:08
Mercury and retrograde so what I was going
5:11
to say I'm going back to my 20 habits and I will
5:14
stop talking and get into that I'm just excited to have you
5:17
here but some of these are really simple and the first
5:20
one is really simple and we're saying number
5:23
one is to make your bed that is
5:26
all I'm asking you to do guys and you might be going yeah
5:30
okay make my bed why I'm going to tell you this it works so when you make your
5:35
bed in the morning they've done tests and studies on this as well and when you
5:39
make your bed in the morning you're starting the day with a win you are kind
5:44
of taking like a literal physical accomplishment within two minutes of waking up.
5:49
And it tells your brain, I'm someone who finishes these. I'm someone who takes action.
5:55
And as someone who brings order, I care about my space.
5:59
So that one small win from that momentum builds.
6:04
Does that make sense? Like it's so simple. That's what they say in the army.
6:08
It's like structure, it's order.
6:10
And do you know what? You're setting your tone for the day.
6:13
Imagine kind of two versions of yourself.
6:16
The first one gets up in a hurry. Your alarm's, you know, your alarm's not gone off or you're just late.
6:22
You're just late. you leave the bed duvet is
6:26
everywhere the sheets are ruffled up the cushions
6:29
are on the floor you go out in the day it just
6:32
feels messy and I'm not talking about a physical mess it's a brain mess it's
6:37
a cluttering of your mental space as well by making the bed you're going I'm
6:42
creating order and you know what I have myself together I someone who has mental
6:48
clarity so just from making your bed.
6:51
So if that's all you can do today, you make your bed and you are caring about your space.
6:56
There's a lot can be said as well about creating space and decluttering and
7:02
cleaning and things like that help with your manifesting ability.
7:05
So it ties in with that as well.
7:07
For bonus points, it makes your bedroom feel like a peaceful sanctuary later.
7:13
So imagine just kind of coming in later from
7:16
work and there's nothing more underrated is
7:19
there than climbing into a neatly made bed and it's like giving your future
7:24
self like um it's I don't know it's giving your future self a push isn't it
7:28
for the next day or for that evening you're kind of getting into your clean
7:31
bed and going it's okay I'm safe I'm calm I'm at peace so that is number one.
7:37
Number two is also very simple guys a lot
7:40
of them are simple some of them get a little bit you know
7:43
a little bit more actiony but the number two is
7:46
to drink more water it's that simple you are
7:50
basically 60 percent water
7:54
so you need to replenish that top up start your day by drinking water I think
8:00
it's something like 60 percent of your body is water something like 70 percent
8:05
of your brain so even if you're having those times you ever have those times
8:09
where you feel a little bit foggy,
8:12
a little bit, I don't know, a little bit headachy, a little bit just,
8:17
oh, those points in the day where you just feel like you have a slump.
8:20
Do yourself a favor, drink water, stay hydrated.
8:25
It will help you to think more clearly.
8:27
It will help your skin to glow. If your mood dips, it will pick your mood up.
8:33
You know, when your body feels heavy, this is what it does. It will just lift that feeling.
8:38
Drinking water throughout the day, especially first thing in the morning,
8:42
it flushes out toxins, it reboots your energy, and it even boosts your metabolism.
8:49
You know, when you just think this is the most simple thing you could probably
8:53
do for yourself today is to drink a glass of water.
8:57
It's the most simple thing that any of us could do.
9:00
If that's all you can accomplish today that is
9:02
a huge win your skin looks better your mood is lifted
9:05
you'll have more clarity and you're flushing out
9:08
toxins you're boosting your metabolism how amazing is that try this if you want
9:14
to kind of romanticize your life and you know I don't know appreciate this moment
9:18
a bit more just get yourself a really lovely water bottle and you know keep
9:23
that next to your bed so as soon as you wake up you're just having that little bit of hydration.
9:28
And it's good for your future self.
9:30
It's kind of like going, you know, this is the person I want to be.
9:32
I want to believe the person that wakes up and drinks water in the morning,
9:36
makes her bed and goes about her day.
9:38
Number three is to
9:41
step outside within one hour of
9:45
waking up I want to shout this down
9:49
my lovely little microphone here I want
9:52
to shout it at you there is something
9:55
amazing and powerful about
9:58
stepping outside when you first wake up and
10:02
I'm going to tell you guys there's some beautiful science here
10:05
as well this is not just me going go outside it's really
10:07
lovely morning sunlight talks to
10:11
your brain it's basically saying like hey guys it's
10:14
daytime let's boost your energy and let's regulate your
10:17
hormones so cortisol naturally peaks
10:20
in the morning and that's a good thing
10:23
when it's healthy and it's natural so
10:26
you are actually you're not just standing outside and going
10:30
okay this is great this is if it's cold if it's cloudy get outside it is going
10:36
to help with your cortisol levels it's going to calm your brain it's just five
10:42
or ten minutes outside and it can help balance your mood and even improve your sleep later.
10:50
How amazing is that so take your
10:52
coffee out in the morning bonus points for
10:55
going barefoot in the garden this is something I
10:58
always do now I go for a walk in the morning whatever
11:02
the weather I come back I take my trainers
11:05
and my socks off when I get back from my walk and
11:08
I walk barefoot or stand barefoot in the
11:12
garden there's more to this I could do a
11:14
whole episode on it but it's about grounding with the
11:18
earth and I don't know there's just something really satisfying
11:21
about it in the morning as well so let your
11:24
eyes see real daylight before scrolling
11:27
on your phone this is you know you're alive
11:30
think of yourself like a plant you need to go outside and
11:33
see that light if you're thinking well I
11:37
work and I'm really busy in the mornings and
11:40
I have no time create time you
11:43
can find five minutes any single person
11:47
every single person listening to this
11:50
podcast can find five
11:53
minutes in the morning so if you're like me
11:56
when I'm filming because I work in film and tv as
11:59
well if you're like me and sometimes I work at three four in the morning okay
12:03
I'm not getting my daylight but what I will do I'll find five minutes in my
12:07
day at work when I can stand outside and have that same feeling of the light
12:13
and the sun hitting my skin, I will still find that.
12:17
But the ideal is to do it in the morning when you wake up before scrolling on your phone.
12:23
So if you can do that, then please work that into your routine.
12:28
Number four is to review your goals every morning.
12:33
Review your goals. Actually, it doesn't have to be in the morning,
12:36
just review your goals. That's all I'm asking you to do.
12:40
14% of people, so 14% of people who have goals are 10 times more likely to succeed.
12:49
So if you have goals and you know what you're working towards,
12:52
14% of people who have goals are 10 times more likely to succeed.
12:57
Listen to this. Those who write them down, that number increases to 42% of people
13:05
who write down their goals are more likely to succeed.
13:09
Isn't that incredible? Sometimes I think it's easy to go, yeah,
13:13
I kind of know what my goals are.
13:14
I kind of know they're up here in my head. I kind of know that. but
13:18
actually writing them down and that's when
13:20
you get really clear once you write them down
13:23
it activates so you don't
13:27
just dream about the future this is about reminding yourself of it daily that
13:31
can be whether you read it on your vision board you could write out your top
13:35
three goals or just ask what would future me do today to align with these goals
13:40
so it's like you're just checking in with your goals every day.
13:44
By checking in with those goals, it's like it helps you to stay focused and
13:51
then you can kind of start embodying them.
13:53
When your goals are fresh in your mind, you can then start embodying them.
13:56
Number five is to consume positive content.
14:01
I think we are all scrollers, aren't we?
14:04
We like a scroll on our phone. We like to see what everyone's doing on Instagram.
14:07
We like to see what's going on in TikTok. We like to read the news.
14:10
But it's so important to make sure you actually set time aside or an intention
14:18
to make sure you consume positive content.
14:23
Doomscrolling can actually make you feel really rubbish. Even if you don't realize
14:26
it, you're subconsciously comparing yourself. You can spiral.
14:31
And actually, it has a way of making you forget
14:34
your own power so instead
14:37
it's starting your day with something
14:40
something uplifting now that could
14:43
be anything from a couple of pages to a self-development book maybe you're reading
14:48
something manifesty or you know anything that is positive content I've just
14:54
finished let them by Mel Robbins which was lovely I loved that have a read of
14:59
that I love manifest by Roxy Nafusi.
15:02
Loads of people have read that. I'm writing my own manifesting book at the moment.
15:05
So when I have finished that and when it's published, hopefully next year, you can read that.
15:11
But it's maybe just a couple of pages or it's listening to a podcast that uplifts you.
15:17
That could be this one. It could be one that you know, that makes you laugh
15:20
or it could be a self-development, a little bit like this one,
15:23
where it kind of gives you some life hacks and things like that.
15:27
Or maybe even, now, I like to talk about doing less on the phone,
15:32
but it could be having specific accounts that.
15:37
Kind of boost your mood. So these are accounts on Instagram that they churn out positive content.
15:44
And actually, it's really important on this note to kind of make sure that you
15:49
are following accounts that lift you and boost you and don't make you feel rubbish.
15:54
Have a quick scroll if you are on your phone to positive content accounts.
16:00
Feed your mind with good stuff. This is not about toxic
16:03
positivity it's just about intention
16:06
and it's you get to choose what
16:09
influences your energy so make that a choice with the content you are divulging
16:15
in number six guys you might laugh at this one but it has scientific backing
16:21
so before you laugh number six is to water a plant that's it?
16:29
Water a plant. So stay with me on this one. When you water a plant, you are caring for life.
16:34
You are caring for life, someone or something other than yourself.
16:39
You might be thinking, yeah, I've got kids, Holly, and I do that.
16:42
There is something about caring for a plant, which is it's creating beauty and
16:48
growth and it's nurturing energy.
16:51
This is about energy And it's symbolic.
16:54
It's symbolic. You are learning to tend for something outside of yourself consistently,
16:59
helping something to grow in its beauty consistently.
17:04
It's also known to be mindful. So mindfulness is about kind of tuning out,
17:10
being present in the moment.
17:13
It's about grounding. It's earthy. It's calming.
17:18
It's mindfulness. It's you go, you can name your plant, name your plant, talk to your plant.
17:24
Apparently, I haven't written this down today, but apparently if you talk to
17:28
your plant and tell it it's beautiful and it's growing really well,
17:31
there are also studies that prove that your plant will grow better. Just saying.
17:36
So name your plant, talk to your plant. Ultimately, this is a simple task of
17:40
watering a plant, keeping a plant alive. helping it to grow. That's it.
17:45
Number seven is to take a cold shower. If you're like, oh no,
17:51
I've heard of this before.
17:53
There are people out there that do their cold baths. Maybe you think it's not
17:57
for you, but let me tell you what I do.
17:59
I don't have like a 10, 15 minute cold shower, but what I do,
18:02
I like my showers really warm.
18:04
I'm like, it's my moment of just peace and making it feel like I'm in a spa
18:10
and it's just soothing and it makes me so happy.
18:13
However, at the end of every shower, apart from the evening,
18:18
so actually this is more my morning shower, at the end of my morning shower,
18:22
I flick the temperature to cold and I stand there for, I try to do a minute,
18:29
sometimes I can't do a minute, I'm only human, sometimes I'll do 30 seconds,
18:33
but I always end my shower with a cold burst.
18:37
And I cannot tell you, oh my goodness, guys, if I could tell you.
18:43
I'm going to be really bold here and say, this changes the path of my day.
18:49
It changes and shifts my energy.
18:51
Because when I get up for work, I do really long hours. I do really long hours.
18:56
And sometimes you're just, you know, you know when you get in the shower and
18:59
you think, I'm never going to wake up today.
19:01
I'm never going to wake up. When I end my shower on my cold burst,
19:05
no matter what I feel when I get in that shower, maybe I'm absolutely exhausted.
19:11
Maybe I'm, dare I say, maybe I'm hungover from the weekend.
19:15
I'm not that bad. But even if you have got a hangover or you feel groggy or even unwell,
19:21
by ending my shower on a cold burst, all of a sudden it snaps my body and my
19:27
brain and my energy and my mindset into feeling awake.
19:32
Energized, revitalized, ready for
19:35
the day much more ready to attack the
19:39
day and ready for work or and it
19:42
actually lifts my mood it kind of makes me go do you know what I
19:45
went into the went into the shower didn't think I
19:47
could achieve today because I was so tired but actually it
19:50
makes me ready for action and it also is known
19:53
it triggers a dopamine release so that's
19:57
actually you know it's boosting these hormones it
20:00
boosts alertness and it helps your body to learn to
20:03
handle discomfort as well and what I do
20:06
I actually talk to myself when I find it a real struggle because
20:09
it's let's face it when the winter months come it's it's really a lot harder
20:15
to have that cold burst and sometimes I say this out loud you're gonna think
20:19
I'm a nutter and I'll it will go cold and I'll go oh my god how can I do this
20:23
so I physically say out loud do something every day that scares you and I repeat it and I
20:28
kind of sing it and I'm like, do something every day that scares you.
20:33
I'm letting you into all my secrets here guys but I
20:35
say it out loud it's more of a thing to actually get through if
20:38
you feel like it's going to be painful so there you go you
20:41
can steal my tactics there if if
20:44
if if the cold shower is too much for you let's start small and just cold splash
20:51
to the face will do it's just something it's something to wake your nervous
20:55
system in a natural way guarantee you guys you're going to feel alive you're
20:59
going to feel switched on and you are going to feel ready.
21:03
Number eight. I love number eight. It's so simple and it's so lovely.
21:07
It is to send a morning text. That's it.
21:11
One of the fastest ways to feel better is to make someone else's day.
21:17
Now, I speak about this a lot.
21:18
Spread kindness. Be the light in someone else's life.
21:22
So this is about a quick message to someone. It could be, good luck today.
21:28
I'm thinking of you. maybe someone you know is going for an
21:31
appointment or they have a meeting or they've got
21:34
a day that they just weren't looking forward to like good luck I hope
21:37
everything goes well for you today or I'm thinking about you
21:40
or morning I'm thinking about you how lovely is that or I hope today brings
21:45
you something beautiful you could send that to your friends you could send that
21:49
to a friend a relative a partner a child and just say hey you like morning I
21:55
hope today brings you something beautiful.
21:57
Imagine, imagine you picking up your phone in the morning and someone has messaged
22:02
you saying, I hope today brings you something beautiful.
22:06
Oh my God, I think I'm just having a moment of just really taking that in and
22:11
thinking I would just be like, that's amazing.
22:14
That's so lovely. And you know what? You never know what someone else is going through.
22:19
And when you offer love, this is not what you do it for.
22:23
But when you offer love, you receive it back tenfold so
22:26
you are making someone else's day you are lifting your own mood and you're receiving
22:30
it back tenfold plus it makes you magnetic kindness always does magnetic if
22:40
you know me magnetic is my thing I love that word it's my favorite.
22:45
Number nine. Okay, I'm going to sound like I'm contradicting myself because
22:51
the title of number nine is to put your phone in another room.
22:54
But you can send your morning text first and then you can put your phone in the other room.
22:59
So this is more about if you're completing a task or you're working or even
23:04
if you are watching a film or you're watching a TV series,
23:07
put your phone in another room or switch it
23:10
on airplane mode so especially when you
23:13
need to focus so even the presence of
23:16
having your phone on show or visible
23:19
to you it's actually been shown to reduce cognitive function isn't that wild
23:26
so do you know what just hide it airplane mode it leave it in a sock drawer
23:30
if you have to and then watch how much more present and productive you become
23:35
you'll finish things faster,
23:37
you'll feel more mentally clear.
23:39
Now, I know sometimes this is unrealistic because you may be on your phone for
23:43
work, you may obviously need to be in touch if your child's school calls you
23:48
or just in case of emergencies.
23:51
But you know what, even if you offer yourself an hour at first or half an hour
23:55
at first, put your phone in another room.
23:58
Now, I never used to do this. I have my phone on a string and it comes with me everywhere.
24:04
However, I would say I've a adopted this habit in the last few months.
24:09
And it really does something.
24:13
It makes me a lot less foggy headwise. It gives me a lot more clarity.
24:18
It just gives me a lot more intention with the task that I'm focusing on.
24:23
And the best bit about it is that you achieve your task so much more quickly and clearly.
24:32
So it's almost like, you know, whatever you're doing, you know,
24:36
you finish that task and then it gives you free time. So you can then schedule
24:39
like, I'm going to have a bit of time now.
24:41
I'm going to go outside with a coffee. I'm now going to have half an hour on
24:44
my phone because you've finished everything because you've become more productive.
24:48
And even if you're watching a film or a TV show, having your phone in another
24:53
room or putting it on airplane mode,
24:55
you are being present you are being mindful and
24:58
actually it means you fully watch that movie you
25:02
fully watch it in every capacity it was meant to be shown you were taking all
25:07
the little moments which you might miss if your phone is there with you number
25:13
10 is to score your day with music music shifts your mood fast.
25:20
I've spoken about this before.
25:22
It's a surefire way to lift your mood and lift your vibrations.
25:28
And sometimes, I don't know if you're like this, but sometimes I know music
25:33
is good for me, but if I'm feeling a bit meh or off, or sometimes I'm like, I don't want music on.
25:41
I don't want music on. But sometimes I force myself just to go,
25:45
do you know what? I'm just going to put a couple of songs on.
25:47
And pretty much, I would say 99% of the time, I am wanting more.
25:53
I'm dancing. I'm singing.
25:56
I can feel the energy vibrating. And that's what music does for you.
26:01
So it's kind of scoring your day with music. Put some music on.
26:06
Help that music guide you with the kind of day that you want to have.
26:11
Make new playlists, make one for morning energy, one for when you're cooking,
26:16
one for when you're walking, one to lift your mood and let that music carry
26:21
you to better energy and hit play whenever you need a boost.
26:27
Number 11, we are back to drinking some water guys.
26:31
Now you may go more water, do I need more water?
26:35
But this is just a really simple thing. This is drinking water before meals.
26:39
So drink a glass of water before a meal. It's simple, it's effective,
26:43
and it also helps prevent overeating and it supports your digestion.
26:48
Guys, this water is underrated, isn't it? The morning water helps your body.
26:54
This helps your digestion.
26:56
And do you know what? Sometimes they say you're probably not hungry.
26:59
You're just dehydrated.
27:01
So have a glass of water first, hydrate your body, and then you will see if
27:07
you're hungry or you can then eat your meal and appreciate the food without overeating.
27:13
And this habit also gives your brain a moment to kind of pause before mindless snacking.
27:18
It's easy, isn't it? To just go, oh my God, in the day, I'm tired.
27:22
I've got a headache. I'm going to reach for some sugar.
27:24
Have a glass of water first. It doesn't mean that you don't have your biscuits
27:27
or whatever your snacks are after.
27:29
You're just checking in and having a moment like, am I really hungry or am I
27:33
a bit bored, tired, stressed? This is a really simple one.
27:37
Every single person can adopt that today. What are we waiting for?
27:41
Number 12, I hope you're still with me. Are you still with me?
27:44
Remember, don't feel overwhelmed or burdened with this list thinking,
27:49
oh, I can't remember them all.
27:51
Just appreciate this podcast episode for what it is.
27:54
Let my voice just whisper in your ears. I'm not whispering and my microphone
27:59
is turned up really loud.
28:00
But just let it sink in and just be like, I'm just taking it in. Just pick one.
28:04
Pick one, drink water. That's it.
28:06
That's it. Number 12, create a workday shutdown ritual. I love this one.
28:12
So when we finish work, whether you work from home, whether you're actually
28:17
working, working, working, whatever you do, even if you're doing chores or tasks
28:22
at home, create an actual ritual to shut down.
28:26
And it's basically telling yourself I finish work
28:29
now and you have a ritual that symbolizes you
28:32
having finished work that could mean just shutting your
28:35
laptop maybe putting your laptop on charge
28:38
and just giving yourself one to two minutes to clean your
28:40
desk and I would actually
28:44
then say out loud something physically that
28:46
represents that you have finished work so you
28:49
could just simply say shut down so once you've
28:52
tidied your desk you turn the lamp off whatever your
28:55
ritual is create that ritual and then say shut
28:59
down or work is done and you
29:02
walk away so it gives your nervous system
29:05
closure and what happens is that a lot of the time when people don't quite differentiate
29:10
that hard shutdown what happens is that work can creep in you think oh suddenly
29:16
going to do that email oh I forgot to do that let me quickly call that person
29:19
or I'm going to run and do that errand that I forgot to do.
29:22
This tells your nervous system to shut down. And what does that mean?
29:26
It then allows the rest of your body and your mindset to go,
29:29
okay, and now I can relax or now I can do life things.
29:34
And it's about creating an obvious divide and an obvious balance between work and life.
29:42
Number 13, journal one good thing.
29:46
So every night, even if it's just one win, just write one sweet moment,
29:52
one lovely thing that happened to you today.
29:55
And I really do mean it can be that simple. Some days it might be bigger.
30:00
It could be someone gave you a compliment about your new jeans or how you were
30:04
wearing your hair. It could be that you drove home from work and saw the sunset.
30:08
It could be that you had a lovely
30:11
little chat in the coffee shop this morning with the person making your
30:14
coffee maybe they gave you a free biscuit maybe just
30:18
something good in your day maybe you got the best seat on the train on the way
30:22
to work maybe you saw a lovely interaction I saw I was out the other day and
30:27
I just saw this lovely interaction with this old couple and they were holding
30:31
hands they were laughing and I was like it was such a lovely moment it went on my moments list.
30:36
So even if you write one thing, just think about that for the day because it's gratitude.
30:42
Gratitude dissolves negativity. And if you do this at night as well,
30:46
it promotes a really good gratitude routine and a night bedtime ritual so that when you go to sleep,
30:53
it kind of ignites this feeling of gratitude,
30:56
which will be kind of running through
30:59
your subconscious as you sleep
31:03
isn't that amazing how about number 14
31:06
I love this it's such a simple routine
31:09
and such a simple habit but it actually will change
31:12
your life and this is to lay out tomorrow's clothes that
31:16
is that is it is that simple could be
31:19
whether if you're if you're working the next day get
31:23
your work outfit out there's something about finding your
31:26
work outfit the night before firstly that
31:29
is far less chaotic as we know in the mornings it's far more difficult we're
31:33
running we're short of time that doesn't work oh I don't feel right in this
31:37
and then it will throw your whole day off every good morning routine starts
31:42
the night before and I love that that your night before version of you.
31:47
Doing something great for tomorrow's morning version of you.
31:50
And that's what I love. This is like, you know, morning stress is gone.
31:55
It's about ease. It's about clarity. And starting your day with intention,
31:58
your clothes are laid out for you.
32:00
What a wonderful thing that you have done for your future self.
32:05
So even if that's just your leggings and a hoodie to go out for a walk in the morning.
32:09
And it also works if you're going to the gym or you're working out.
32:13
You are far more likely to work out if you lay your clothes out.
32:17
For future self tomorrow morning and I also
32:20
think you know I mentioned this briefly at the start but when
32:24
you if you especially if it's like a work outfit or something
32:27
when you pick out your work outfit the night before and it's ready
32:30
to go and you know that it works it can really
32:33
help your whole day not just your morning one because
32:36
your morning has been more calm it's been kind of a calmer experience so that
32:42
will kind of channel through your day but also if you ever oh Have you ever
32:48
done that thing where you go to work and you're in an outfit where you just are not feeling it?
32:54
You don't feel right. It doesn't fit right. It feels uncomfortable.
32:58
You just feel off and it just throws your whole energy for the day.
33:02
So this is going to help you with that. So decide it tonight.
33:05
And that is one less thing for future you to worry about tomorrow.
33:10
Number 15. We are three quarters of the way through, guys. Number 15 is to pack healthy snacks.
33:17
This is a little act of self-love. Healthy snacks in your bag equals fewer hungry
33:23
meltdowns, hangry meltdowns, and it's better energy throughout the day.
33:28
When you have healthy snacks available to you, it means you're going to probably
33:32
make better choices throughout the day.
33:34
Doesn't mean that you might not go, sod it, I'm having a Mars bar today and
33:39
I'm going to go to the shop and have a Mars bar.
33:41
But if you've got healthy snacks on you, you're likely to use those you're going
33:46
to nourish yourself, nourish your body, nourish your mind with these healthy snacks.
33:51
And it's, again, this is a routine that is built kind of the day before or in
33:57
preparation in the morning for future you that day to kind of help you feel nourished.
34:03
And when you're nourished, you'll think clearer, you'll feel slightly lighter in your mood,
34:07
you will feel more in control, you're not
34:10
relying on vending machines and
34:13
this is not about diet I have to be really clear this
34:16
is not about diet and going oh you are
34:19
you know you're going to have a more of a dream body because you've done healthy
34:23
snacks for the day yes there is an element of that but this is more about feeling
34:28
supported and feeling like it's okay I've got my I've got my beep together do
34:34
you know what I mean you're feeling supported you've got your shit together
34:37
guys I'm not Bleeping that one out for you.
34:40
Moving on to number 16, and it's to practice box breathing.
34:47
So if you don't know what box breathing is, I'll show you now.
34:52
We're going to do it together.
34:53
It means that you inhale for four.
34:57
So inhale, one, two, three, four.
35:01
You hold your breath for four. One, two, three, four.
35:07
And you exhale for four. one two
35:11
three four and then you hold that
35:14
for four and you repeat that for a minute
35:17
so if you're finding yourself in the
35:20
day having a moment of anxiety of stress
35:23
and you just need to calm yourself it actually
35:27
calms your nervous system it slows racing thoughts
35:31
so if you feel like you're spiraling and you're going oh my
35:34
god it's all going wrong what is my life
35:37
what am I doing just practice this box
35:40
breathing technique and it will help to
35:43
ground yourself and it will help you
35:46
return to yourself and think more clearly it
35:49
also helps to calm yourself before an important experience that might be maybe
35:56
do it before a meeting or before you're about to have a tough conversation maybe
36:01
with a loved one or just in the middle of a busy day either way it's an instant way to reset.
36:07
So let box breathing kind of be a new habit within your life, within your day.
36:13
Number 17, I love this one, is to ask your subconscious a question at night.
36:19
So if there's something you need solving before sleep, ask yourself something
36:24
powerful, like what would make me feel most fulfilled this year?
36:30
Or how could I increase my income by £1,000 this month?
36:35
And then you may be thinking, well, hold on a minute. Is this not going to get
36:38
my thoughts running and then I'm not going to be able to sleep?
36:42
The key here is to ask that question and then to let it go.
36:47
You don't try and solve it. You don't try and figure it out.
36:50
This is for your subconscious to sleep on.
36:54
It will work on it whilst you sleep. Your subconscious is a genius, right?
36:59
And it's going to work for you behind the scenes.
37:03
And actually you may find that subconsciously you
37:06
find a way to figure out the answer to that question so
37:10
I love this it's kind of giving yourself it's giving us it's think of it as
37:15
helping your subconscious out you're like here I'm going to sleep but I'm going
37:19
to leave this one for you to figure out for me so manifest while you sleep is
37:24
always so powerful number 18 I could shout this from the rooftops.
37:29
It is to declutter one tiny space.
37:34
Declutter, declutter, declutter. It is a surefire way to manifest quickly,
37:40
to manifest amazingly, to become a master manifester.
37:45
So whether it's just a drawer, a desktop, or it's a folder on your phone,
37:50
or maybe even your emails and unsubscribing.
37:54
Clutter is energetic noise.
37:57
Every time you clear it, you make space for clarity and new energy to come in.
38:04
If you are sitting on loads of clutter.
38:07
Then I'm talking to you. If you go and clear even a small space,
38:11
even one tiny drawer, this can make you feel lighter and you are making space
38:18
for new energy to come into your life.
38:21
That could be a soulmate. If you're looking for your soulmate,
38:26
it could be money. It could be new things that you are dreaming of buying.
38:31
You are clearing out energetic space. So de-cut to one tiny space. We are almost finished.
38:38
Number 19 is mirror talk. Say something kind to yourself in the mirror.
38:44
Just look at yourself. So you actually do have to look at yourself in the mirror
38:48
and just say something loving about yourself.
38:52
Maybe just like, you know, well done. You're doing really well.
38:56
I'm proud of you. I love the person you're becoming.
39:00
That's all you need to do or find something even physical and
39:04
just go do you know what you have great
39:07
hair to say I have great hair do you
39:10
know what it could be that simple the point is saying finding
39:14
and then saying something kind about yourself in
39:17
the mirror that's all this is guys you might
39:20
feel that it feels awkward at first potentially right
39:23
but then it clicks
39:26
the more you do it the more you start hearing it you start
39:29
to believe it and that changes everything and
39:32
also what it does it encourages you to look
39:35
out for something good about yourself you know you can find that a lot of people
39:40
they're very kind to their friends they're kind to their family but to their
39:43
selves they go oh you know they someone says you look nice in that job oh this
39:47
old thing oh no no I'm feeling a bit overweight at the moment or did I no no
39:52
no this is a stopping and appreciating.
39:56
Yourself for a moment in the mirror.
39:58
Number 20, it's simple. I say all the time, it is moving for 10 minutes.
40:05
This is about a joyful moment of movement.
40:10
You can dance, you can stretch, you can walk, or you can shake it off.
40:16
Honestly, just moving.
40:20
Physically moving your body is moving energy
40:24
through your body and through your mind so that it doesn't
40:27
get stuck it wakes you up it
40:29
moves your body moving does
40:33
so much I can't even I don't
40:35
even have the as much time I'm looking how long we are
40:38
on the podcast right now I don't have enough time to
40:41
tell you all of the good things that it does but all
40:44
I will say it's more than just oh I had a
40:47
10 minute walk today you have moved your
40:50
body you have chosen you and you are shifting
40:53
energy through your body you are
40:56
waking up that stale stagnant energy
41:00
if you're feeling stuck it will move that
41:02
energy of feeling stuck so this one
41:05
is for you it's not about 60 minutes of pumping
41:08
in the gym although if you do that that is fantastic
41:11
so just think of it as I'm going to get my energy flowing
41:14
rather than I'm doing exercise so that
41:17
I don't put on weight that's not what we're doing we're just
41:20
going I'm getting the energy flowing so there you have it guys that is your
41:26
20 tiny habits and you know me you know I love consistency so if you do that
41:34
consistently honestly you can truly transform your life and honestly I'm talking.
41:40
Transformation and listen it's not because they're magic they're not magic it's because you are.
41:47
When you decide to take some of these steps, you are telling yourself you're worth it.
41:53
You are worth activating this magic in the universe.
41:56
Honestly, and these tiny actions, they are reminders of your power, your ability to choose.
42:04
Choose making your bed, choose to drink the water, choosing to show up,
42:10
to create the life you desire one small moment a time. That's it.
42:15
So just start with one. Don't be overwhelmed. Pick your favorite.
42:19
Which one was your favorite? Please let me know which one your favorite was.
42:23
I'm at thehollyedwards on Instagram and at the.manifestation also.
42:29
Just tell me which one your favorite one is. Water, music, laying out your clothes.
42:34
Celebrate it. Stack it. Build it and let it become a habit.
