0:22
Hi everyone and welcome to the very first episode of the Manifestation Station.
0:29
I am so excited and
0:33
i'm so happy that you've joined us for
0:36
the very first episode this podcast is going to be a place full of inspiration
0:42
and offering tips on manifesting your dream life and helping to lift you out
0:48
of life's lulls which we all have every now and again and hopefully send you
0:53
off on your day feeling lighter,
0:55
happier and more in control of your own life because you are the master of your
1:01
own life and it's about time you took control and started manifesting your dreams
1:06
and that is what we are here for people.
1:08
So I'm so excited. We are going to every week have a new subject and a new topic
1:15
about manifesting and how you can become a powerful for Manifestor.
1:20
And whether you're new to manifesting or an experienced manifester,
1:26
we are going to have tips for everybody.
1:28
And I think even if you have been manifesting for a while, I've certainly been
1:33
into it for a long time now.
1:35
I first got into it around 17 years ago after reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.
1:41
If you haven't read The Secret, please, please read it.
1:46
It is a fantastic book to help ignite that fire in your belly about manifesting.
1:52
And even though I've been doing it for 17 years, it's only really in the last
1:56
few years that I feel like it's really clicked.
2:00
And that all the steps that you take towards manifesting your dream life,
2:05
all those steps are so important, but I feel like some of them are really overlooked
2:09
and we're going to touch on some of those topics in the next coming weeks.
2:14
So please, please join us and follow us on your manifesting journey.
2:20
And also, if you are an experienced manifester already,
2:24
like myself, I've had a lot of success with
2:28
manifesting and a lot of people around me have but it's
2:32
still nice to dipping to new kind of
2:35
territories and feel inspired and it does
2:38
take some work it's really good work and it's exciting but it does take work
2:44
and it's it's about controlling your mind and and shifting your mindset and
2:49
I think you know listening to podcasts or reading new books about manifesting
2:54
there are are so many good ones out there.
2:56
It all helps ignite that fire again and inspire you. And that is what I'm really hoping to do today.
3:03
I am just so happy that I have an opportunity to spread a little love about
3:10
manifesting, and I'm really happy to help you on your journey.
3:14
So if you are new to manifesting, then you may be asking, what is manifesting?
3:21
So manifesting is
3:24
the art of attracting your dreams and
3:27
your desires by using the law of attraction so manifesting your dreams through
3:34
the power of thought and belief and action so we have the power through our
3:42
thoughts to control what happens to us in our lives and all
3:47
the good things that come into our lives and sometimes the bad as well.
3:51
So it's, I think some people who maybe aren't into manifesting or who are a little bit skeptical,
3:59
some of them feel like it's a bit spiritual and a bit fluffy when they think
4:09
of manifesting, but there is a science to it.
4:12
So our cells in our body listen to our brain and react to our thoughts and then
4:19
go off and do the job that they need to do in our body so our brain sends out
4:25
commands to our nervous system.
4:28
And our cells react. So our thoughts have the ability to heal ourselves through
4:36
the power of our thoughts.
4:39
How amazing is that if you really think about it?
4:42
So for example, now I used to do this all the time.
4:48
If you are one of those people that says to everyone that you can never sleep, I can never sleep.
4:55
I'm a terrible sleeper. I don't sleep very well.
4:59
Your cells listen and go, okay, yeah, I guess we can't sleep.
5:04
And then you become a non-sleeper or an insomniac.
5:08
And like I said, I used to very much be that way.
5:12
And it just is an example to show how powerful your thoughts are.
5:18
You are your thoughts and that is how manifesting works.
5:25
So let's think about manifesting and the steps that go into manifesting successfully.
5:33
Now we're not going to cover all of these steps today but I want to brush kind
5:38
of brush over them and we are going to go into so much more depth and detail over the coming weeks.
5:44
So stick with us. But I just wanted to kind of, yeah, just kind of graze over the steps.
5:50
So we kind of know what we're dealing with here.
5:53
So there are steps for manifesting. And if you follow these steps and absolutely
5:58
nail these steps, you can have anything you want, whether it's the new car,
6:06
your amazing new soulmate, your dream job your dream house it is within your
6:15
grasp to have all of that and through the power of your thought your mindset
6:20
and your behaviors and your belief so.
6:24
Here's a quick overview for the steps to manifesting.
6:27
So the first really important step is to really figure out what it is that you want to manifest.
6:35
And that sounds really simple, but you will be so surprised the amount of people
6:41
I speak to and I say, so what is it that you want to manifest?
6:45
And they kind of really give a really vague answer maybe about their job and
6:49
how they kind of want a promotion at their work.
6:52
And I kind of say, well, but what is it you really want? What would you really,
6:56
really want to manifest?
6:59
Do you want to stay in your same job? They might go, no, but I've just asked
7:03
you what it is that you want. And you've said you want a promotion at your job.
7:07
So it's about getting really, really honed in to what it is that you want to
7:12
manifest and provide in as much detail as you can.
7:16
We're going to touch upon that again. So do not worry. The next step is to visualize.
7:22
Visualize your goal. Visualize your end goal.
7:26
Visualize how you will feel once you've received what it is that you want to manifest.
7:32
And then it's also believing, believing that you will receive your manifestation.
7:38
So within your visualizations, it's believing that you can have your manifestation,
7:45
but more importantly, believing and acting as though you already have received your manifestation.
7:53
The next step that's really important is to relinquish your control over how
8:00
and when your manifestations come true. Okay.
8:04
And this is a big one and quite a difficult one to grasp. It takes some practice,
8:08
but it's about removing the fear
8:10
about it not happening and just releasing everything over to the universe.
8:17
It's not up for you to decide how and when it will happen, but it's kind of
8:21
like you've put in your order for what it is that you want and then you relax
8:25
in the knowledge that it will happen.
8:27
And it's learning to become content in the now. Now, again, we'll have a whole
8:32
episode on that. So stick with us.
8:34
The next step, and I think for me, this is the biggest step of all.
8:41
And it's one that I've certainly overlooked.
8:44
And I think it's one of the steps that a lot of people don't realize.
8:48
And it has absolutely clicked with me in the last year or so.
8:54
And that is aligning your behaviors with what it is that you want to manifest.
9:00
So it's acting as though you've already got and received your manifestation.
9:07
We are going to work through that and go through so much more detail soon.
9:15
But it's basically about the fact that we're using the power of thought,
9:20
we're visualizing, we're believing,
9:21
but you can't then just sit indoors and wait for life to happen.
9:25
You've got to align your behaviors and show the universe that you are ready.
9:30
To receive your manifestation.
9:32
So those are your key steps. There are so many sub-levels and sub-topics and
9:38
steps in between, but those are your big ones.
9:43
We will go through all the stepping stones and the shifts that you can make
9:47
in order to kind of achieve and accomplish each step.
9:52
But for now, what I wanted to talk to you about today, and I think it is the
9:58
best place to start when you want to manifest your dream life.
10:03
Now, whether you're new to manifesting or an experienced manifester,
10:07
I think it's really important to do this step and to do it regularly.
10:12
And it's about taking stock of our thoughts.
10:16
So I'm going to give you a really amazing fact here. And this actually blew my mind.
10:23
So here we go. I've written it down. So the average person has 60,000 thoughts per day.
10:33
So just sit with that for a minute. The average person has 60,000 thoughts a day. Okay.
10:40
And apparently over 75% of those thoughts with each of us are negative.
10:47
75% are negative. There's more to come on this.
10:53
So bear with me. It might be a bit heavy, but this is going to blow your mind
10:56
and it's going to make you realize the power of your thoughts.
10:59
Okay. so there was a study done I think
11:02
it was Cornell University but I'll have to check that and I'll put it
11:05
in the notes below the podcast but so out
11:08
of those 60,000 thoughts 75% are
11:12
negative and 95% of those are repetitive now that normally means that those
11:18
negative thoughts are coming out from our subconscious so we're probably not
11:23
even aware of them if I said to you can you remember every one of your 60,000 thoughts today.
11:29
I certainly can't. So that just shows that some and vast majority of those thoughts
11:35
are operating on our subconscious.
11:38
So today we're talking about our thoughts and changing our thoughts onto a more kind of positive scale.
11:46
And that fact there is
11:50
so important because it just shows how much
11:54
that if we can shift from a negative to a positive we can learn to retrain our
12:00
subconscious so that we're not emitting these 60,000 thoughts most of which
12:04
are negative now the last statistic sorry that's giving me a stutter the last statistic is.
12:14
That I've got around these 60,000 thoughts. So 60,000 thoughts, 75% are negative,
12:21
95% are repetitive and wait for it, 85% of those thoughts never even happen to us.
12:30
Can you just think about that for a minute?
12:34
So if you're feeling a bit rubbish and you've got negative thoughts flying around
12:39
your head or you're worried about a meeting or you're worried about meeting
12:43
the one or being on your own.
12:45
Most of these thoughts are negative and most of the vast majority will never even happen.
12:53
Now those thoughts are wasted negative energy floating around in your headspace,
13:01
then having a knock-on effect to ourselves and the frequency of which we are
13:08
putting out to the the universe.
13:10
So this is where it's really important with our thoughts. So in order to be
13:15
a successful, powerful manifester and to manifest, to be able to manifest your dream life,
13:21
you need to be operating on a high vibrational frequency.
13:27
Okay. So a high vibe, High vibe feelings are feelings of happiness,
13:34
love, excitement, joy, passion and gratitude.
13:41
Now, if you're feeling any of these feelings, that means you're operating on
13:45
a high vibrational frequency.
13:49
Now, in contrast, if you're operating on a low vibrational frequency,
13:55
that means you have low vibe feelings.
13:58
So examples of low vibe feelings could be anger, jealousy, anxiety,
14:06
sadness, fear and guilt.
14:11
Now, remember what I said earlier that the law of attraction,
14:15
it operates like a magnet, okay?
14:20
So imagine whatever it is you're putting out into the universe is what is brought back to you.
14:28
So when I say you are your thoughts, your life and everything in it at the moment
14:33
is a product of your thoughts.
14:36
So take a minute to think about that and think about
14:39
all the things that you have have in your life that you're grateful for they
14:43
have come through the power of thought and you operating on
14:46
a higher vibrational frequency and perhaps
14:49
you've got things that you're not so happy about or that you want to
14:52
change and they can be changed if
14:55
we can shift and operate and live our life on a high vibrational frequency like
15:02
attracts like okay so what we want to do and this is is something that I want
15:07
you to do this week or for the next few days and it's to take stock of your
15:13
feelings and your thoughts.
15:15
So every time that you have a negative thought I want you to stop it in its track and be aware of it.
15:24
So just be aware of your thoughts these next few days and And it's going to
15:28
blow your mind how much you think or how many times negative thoughts come through
15:37
your head and into your brain,
15:38
subconsciously or consciously,
15:41
or thoughts.
15:44
That you say out loud.
15:45
So every one of those thoughts, I want you to stop in their track and sit with
15:51
it. recognize that thought, recognize that negative thought and immediately
15:57
trump it with a positive thought, okay?
16:00
So as soon as you feel a negative thought, stop, cut it off, cut off its life force.
16:09
And replace it with a positive thought.
16:13
Now this is about creating awareness
16:16
for you because it's a really good place
16:19
to start and even if you're already a manifester it's
16:23
a really good task for you
16:25
to do to just realize that sometimes you
16:28
can be a really good manifester and think well I've tried
16:31
to manifest that thing but actually that's not
16:34
happening at the moment or I'm not feeling very good about that at the
16:36
moment and I think when you can take part in
16:40
this task about monitoring your thoughts I
16:43
think you can really take stock and go aha okay
16:47
now actually I'm having quite a few negative thoughts here and by replacing
16:53
them with a positive thought you are trying to force and catapult your subconscious
17:00
into thinking more positively on a daily basis.
17:05
So that's what I want you to do for the next three days.
17:08
Monitor them if you want to write it down that you can, but you do have 60,000
17:13
thoughts a day. That's a hell of a lot of writing.
17:15
So just take stock and be aware.
17:18
So let's look at some examples and it's really easy. Listen, we've got busy lives.
17:25
You might have kids, a busy job.
17:28
You've got bills to pay. Of course, we
17:31
you know it'll be easy to have you know lots
17:34
of negative thoughts in a day but let's just
17:37
take examples and say say you're moaning about your spouse
17:40
you're moaning about your partner and maybe you're
17:43
really annoyed that they never help you with the washing up and you've done
17:47
everything that day maybe you've done all the washing you've done all the cleaning
17:51
you've been to work you've fed the kids you've fed your partner and you're thinking
17:58
as you're doing the washing up I cannot
18:00
believe that my partner is not helping me with the washing up.
18:04
He's this, he's that, or she's this, she's that. Now stop that negative thought in its path.
18:11
Be aware of that thought and immediately replace it with a positive one.
18:18
So look for something to be grateful for with your partner in that moment and
18:23
say it out loud or say it in your head and think, okay, well,
18:26
okay, so they don't help me with the washing up and that annoys me.
18:31
However, whether my partner is really good at helping me put the kids to bed
18:36
or helping to provide and put a roof over our heads or maybe he's really good
18:42
at doing the cooking or she's really good at doing the cooking.
18:45
So just immediately replace it and trump it with a positive thought.
18:50
Now positive thoughts are actually more powerful than negative ones.
18:55
So if you can operate even 51% on a positive scale.
19:01
So you're just tipping the scales into the positive mode.
19:05
If you can operate more positively than you do negatively, then you're already
19:11
going to be helping your mindset and helping you to achieve successful manifesting.
19:16
So another example, and this happened to me recently, that I was stuck in traffic.
19:21
I was stuck in traffic for a long time. I was stuck in traffic,
19:22
And say you're stuck in traffic this morning, you're thinking,
19:25
you're really frustrated and you start saying, that's typical.
19:29
That's typical. I cannot believe I'm going to be late.
19:32
I'm so annoyed at all this traffic and your blood pressure is rising and you feel really stressed.
19:38
Now, you cannot do anything with this situation.
19:41
You can't change it. So stop that thought in its tracks. Do not give it life.
19:47
Do not give it any fuel by adding all these negative thoughts. How typical.
19:53
It always happens to me. I should have left earlier.
19:56
This is terrible. My day is going to be terrible. That adds fuel and this negative
20:01
thought gets bigger and bigger and bigger and before you know it,
20:05
it's snowballing out of control and that will lead on to a whole new set of negative thoughts.
20:11
Oh, well now I'm going to be late for my meeting and I'm going to be really
20:15
terrible in my meeting because I'm late.
20:17
So it has a real knock-on effect. So stop that thought.
20:21
Stop that frustration or that
20:24
thought of feeling really hard done by that you're
20:26
stuck in traffic monitor that thought for a
20:29
minute and instantly replace it with a positive one for example you could think
20:34
I'm so lucky I have a car that delivers me from A to B I'm so lucky I'm not
20:41
walking to work actually don't say lucky say grateful we'll get onto that later I'm so
20:48
grateful that I don't have to walk to work in the rain.
20:51
I'm so grateful I'm stuck in my warm car. I'm so grateful that this traffic
20:56
has given me the opportunity to listen to an amazing podcast on my way in.
21:01
And you know what? If you can't turn your negative thought into a positive one,
21:08
then at least dilute it into a neutral one.
21:12
Because neutral is far better than feeling negative and feeling negative thoughts.
21:19
So take stock this week. Take stock of your thoughts.
21:25
Now, even if you don't know what it is that you want to manifest yet,
21:29
just by changing your thoughts, even today, even in the next hour,
21:36
even in the next half an hour, you can change your day around.
21:41
You can change your day from negative to positive and that will propel you onto a high vibe frequency.
21:52
Now once you're on that high vibe frequency, just by changing those negative
21:57
thoughts into positive ones.
21:59
Just by doing that you will propel yourself onto a high vibe frequency and you will automatically
22:05
start attracting in things that
22:09
match your frequency so the universe will
22:12
deliver more things for you to feel positive about and
22:16
that's how the law of attraction and manifesting works
22:19
the law of attraction will match your
22:22
energy so if you're putting out good thoughts
22:25
happy thoughts and you feel excited and
22:29
you feel fulfilled the universe will match
22:32
your frequency like a mirror and like
22:35
a magnet and will bring you more experiences
22:38
and things to feel happy about
22:41
to feel excited about to feel
22:44
accomplished about and the same with
22:47
the negative so if you're putting out negative thoughts and feelings into the
22:52
universe the universe will just match your energy and bring you more things
22:58
that don't make you feel good and more experiences that don't make you feel good like stress,
23:05
like traffic. So,
23:08
The other thing that's really important to talk about when we're talking about
23:13
feelings and especially when we're talking about turning negative feelings into positive ones.
23:20
And this is a really important point that should not be overlooked.
23:27
So whilst I'm saying that it's important to turn your negative thoughts into
23:31
positives and take stock of your thoughts,
23:33
it's also really important to make sure that we're not just suppressing everything
23:41
and putting a little positive band-aid over everything.
23:44
There is such a thing as toxic positivity.
23:49
And that means that, well, you know, we're in a really stressful situation or
23:53
something really bad has happened to me, but I must be positive because that's
23:57
what the law of attraction says. And that's what I need to do to manifest.
24:00
I've got to be really, really, really, really, really positive,
24:02
that can actually be quite stressful.
24:05
It gives me anxiety just saying that. I've got to be really positive.
24:09
So actually, what we also need to do within the subject of our thoughts,
24:16
negative, positive, it doesn't mean that we just ignore our negative feelings.
24:23
And this is really, really important.
24:26
If we suppress all of our negativity and all of our negative thoughts,
24:31
then it means we're scared of them and that we're not facing them front on.
24:38
And that means we're suppressing them.
24:40
And when we suppress our negativity and our negative thoughts,
24:44
they can actually come out in different ways, perhaps through sickness or through anxiety,
24:50
which are obviously, these are all low vibe emotions and low vibe experiences.
24:58
So now this is one of the questions I had this week.
25:01
And every week when we do the podcast, I am going to answer some of your questions.
25:07
So someone asked me this week through Instagram, if you're not following me
25:13
on Instagram, please do and drop me a DM with all of your questions because
25:17
I will be reading some out in the coming weeks.
25:20
I'm at The Holly Holly Edwards, and also on TikTok at The Holly Edwards,
25:25
where I do daily kind of videos and tips about manifesting.
25:31
So please do follow that.
25:33
So someone asked me this week, what happens if you're feeling negative and I
25:40
can't get on the manifesting train?
25:42
They said that they were trying so hard to be positive, really,
25:45
really hard. And this is the problem with toxic positivity.
25:49
So it's really important when you're feeling negative or perhaps a bit sad,
25:55
or you're having a day where you're a little bit off and a little bit out of sorts.
26:00
We all have those days. It's really important to welcome those negative thoughts.
26:06
Give yourself time to step back and get perspective on that thought and allow
26:13
yourself a moment to process it.
26:16
So it's not just, you know, brushing your thought under the carpet and just
26:22
hoping it disappears because it will come and rear its ugly head at some point.
26:27
But it's allowing yourself just to ask for a second, okay, it's okay that I
26:32
feel negative at the moment.
26:33
That is absolutely fine. Whether you are the most
26:36
powerful manifester in in the
26:39
world you are still going to have times when you're
26:42
feeling negative bad things still happen and
26:46
sometimes other things affect our moods lack of
26:49
sleep hormones whatever it is you are
26:52
still going to have times where you feel negative so by
26:55
allowing yourself the space and
26:59
the time and the care to process that
27:02
thought that is an act of self-care and
27:05
it's an act of self-care not to ignore
27:09
that thought so if you do
27:11
find yourself having these negative thoughts I want you
27:14
to welcome that thought like a
27:17
warm hug welcome it embrace it and
27:20
allow yourself to sit with that for a moment allow yourself to maybe feel a
27:25
little bit rubbish for a moment that's okay give you yourself the space you
27:29
need but then and this is the key because sometimes we can hang Hang on to these
27:35
thoughts and we can add the fuel,
27:38
the negative fuel, like I said before, and these thoughts grow and they breed
27:42
and they get worse and worse.
27:44
Okay, that's what we don't want it to do.
27:47
So we're just going to embrace it for a minute, offer the self-care,
27:52
give it a hug, and then we maybe ask ourselves, why am I thinking this?
27:58
Is this really a problem about is
28:01
this something that I can I can do something
28:04
to change this thought that I'm having is it
28:07
out of my control is it something that I control and then the biggest thing
28:12
then is to then take hold of this negative thought and throw it away and carry
28:19
on with your day and carry on with your positive mindset think about gratitude
28:25
and the things that you are are grateful for.
28:28
So that is a step which I don't think is spoken about enough.
28:34
And I think, you know, I'm going to talk to you another time about self-care
28:39
and how that helps with bringing new things into your life.
28:44
And a way of self-care is recognizing that your negative thoughts do have some
28:49
space in your life, some, just a small portion, and just visualize that thought.
28:56
Imagine you are holding that thought in your hands in
28:59
a ball in front of you sit with that thought
29:02
for a minute feel calm give yourself
29:05
some love and then throw it away into
29:09
the sky like a ball imagine throwing it away
29:12
from you and then giving gratitude and replacing
29:15
it with a positive thought so we're not getting
29:18
rid of the idea of what I've just explained before
29:21
about trumping a negative thought with a positive that
29:24
is one task in itself because that is for
29:27
you to recognize the amount of negative thoughts you
29:30
might be having and it's also a way to propel you onto a more positive frame
29:36
of mind and the more often that you do that you will find that you will naturally
29:40
have a more positive mindset and then you can really get into the nitty-gritty
29:46
of attracting in the dreams,
29:49
all of your dreams that you deserve and that you are totally capable of manifesting.
29:54
And welcoming the negative thoughts and looking after yourselves.
29:59
Giving them a positive cuddle, positive hug, and then releasing those thoughts,
30:04
that also has its place and is just as important.
30:09
So that is your task for the next few days.
30:14
Think of those 60,000 thoughts. Oh my God, it's exhausting, isn't it?
30:18
Thinking of 60,000 thoughts a day that are running through your head.
30:22
So think of those thoughts. And this is the very first step in becoming a more positive person.
30:30
You are going to take control of your life and you're going to manifest in all
30:35
the things that you want to manifest.
30:37
You are the architect of your
30:40
own life remember don't forget that so
30:43
