0:07
You're listening to the manifestation station podcast i'm your host holly edwards
0:13
and together we can help create your magic.
0:22
Morning my loves welcome back to another episode of the manifestation station
0:28
the place where we blend mindset,
0:32
magic and momentum to help you manifest your dream life one aligned shift at a time.
0:41
I am your host Holly and today's episode is all about a topic that genuinely
0:48
changed my life but before we get into it I feel like I sound a little bit husky.
0:54
Now you may be thinking yes what
0:57
a sexy voice she has I'm a little bit husky I
1:00
have just got back literally 3 a.m
1:03
this morning just got back from a lovely holiday
1:06
to celebrate my 40th birthday if you didn't listen
1:09
to the last episode yet why not it's a
1:12
good one go back but I was saying how I went
1:16
away for a lovely 40th celebration with my
1:19
family and it was so lovely you know when you just come
1:23
back with a full heart of gratitude and yes
1:26
I was on holiday and yes it was bougie and lovely but actually it just made
1:31
me think about how it's the simple things in life that make us smile it was
1:37
the laughing with my sisters my being away with my mum and dad quality time
1:42
around the table chatting.
1:44
It was all of those real simple free things in life.
1:49
And it's always worth, as you know, gratitude dissolves negativity.
1:54
Gratitude is the key to manifesting.
1:57
And it just makes you realize even more, if you can just look out whatever's
2:02
going on in your life, guys, just look out for those simple things or simple ways to lift your mood,
2:08
to recognize that even if you're in a bad spot right now.
2:12
Even if you're feeling rubbish, there are things to be grateful for and to find
2:17
gratitude in and to make things as well, to do things yourself that provoke gratitude.
2:24
So you may think this episode is about gratitude, but I'm throwing you a curveball. It's not.
2:30
It's actually about the key to manifestation, how a lot of it can come from your morning routine.
2:38
And it's your morning routine that can set you up for your entire day and it's
2:44
something that has completely changed my life and it's creating a morning ritual
2:48
even if you're thinking I have no time to do that I don't have time for morning
2:52
rituals I guarantee you you can take something from this and if you're listening in the morning today,
2:58
Think about this right now. You are in charge of your own destiny.
3:03
You can set out and set your intentions for the type of day that you want to have.
3:07
So you may be thinking, oh Holly, I've heard this before. This is really basic,
3:12
but you have to stick with me here and hear me out.
3:15
This is not about a Pinterest perfect morning routine as much as it's really
3:22
lovely to romanticize your life and do yoga and have smoothies, watch the sunrise.
3:27
It's not about that. These are just some things that will really help elevate
3:32
your life, elevate your day, elevate your mood and your manifesting game.
3:37
This is about understanding how your first hour of the day is going to set the
3:44
tone for the rest of the day to follow and the rest of the week to follow,
3:50
the rest of the month to follow and it's one of
3:52
the most powerful tools in your manifesting toolkit
3:55
and it's something that you can start today it's about using and utilizing that
4:01
sacred time to shift your energy prime your mindset and align your frequency
4:07
with the life that you are trying to call in in every single morning.
4:13
So grab your oat latte, light a candle, get comfy.
4:18
Let's rewire your mornings and your manifestations.
4:23
So why do your mornings matter? Well, it's simple, isn't it?
4:28
Let's start with the science bit. But when you first wake up,
4:32
your brain is still in what's called the theta brainwave state.
4:36
This is the state where your subconscious is most open.
4:41
So that means that anything kind of manifesting you're doing,
4:45
the meaning affirmations, the
4:47
intentions and your thoughts, they will go straight into your brain here.
4:53
You are literally more digestible in those first 20 minutes after waking up.
4:59
And this is why it's so important to, I think it's easy to do it, isn't it?
5:04
The reach for your phone first thing in the morning. Now I have.
5:08
Really honed back on this and really pulled
5:12
back and stopped this habit of reaching
5:15
for the phone and starting the scrolling the
5:19
endless scrolling the light from your phone hitting your brain this is about
5:24
replacing that whilst your brain is so susceptible and like a sponge it's replacing
5:31
those moments and just even your alarm clock and snoozing it's it's making those 20 minutes,
5:37
absolutely invaluable.
5:40
Now in spiritual terms, this is the moment where your energy is clean.
5:45
You wake up with clean energy. It hasn't yet been influenced or infiltrated
5:49
by other people's thoughts, messages on your phone, reels on social media that
5:55
make you feel good, make you feel bad.
5:58
The point is, it's your chance to tune into your truth, set your vibe and magnetize
6:04
what you want. You have to think of this 20 minutes.
6:07
I mean, I like to think of it as an hour, but even like the 20 minutes to absolutely
6:12
magnify and magnetize those minutes and everything that you want to,
6:18
the energy that you want to bring for that day.
6:21
This is your time to do it whilst it is absolutely 10 times powerful, more powerful.
6:27
So if your first thought in the morning is, oh God, you start having a doom
6:33
scroll, I don't want to get up today, you're looking at Instagram, then guess what?
6:37
You're already going to be out of alignment whilst your brain is ready to digest and being a sponge.
6:44
Already in the alignment of the version of
6:47
who is you in that morning so if you're waking up and you're
6:50
doom scrolling and you're not wanting to get up and you're just kind of I don't
6:55
know you're not utilizing those moments then that is what you're setting yourself
6:59
up for the day so you're already out of alignment with the version of you who
7:04
is manifesting miracles so this is about,
7:08
waking up with frequency and not in a frenzy
7:11
so let's shift that the first
7:14
step in creating a magnetic morning routine is
7:18
to wake up with a frequency so that
7:21
means and this is a this is one I'm
7:24
not saying that this is easy guys because this is
7:27
for me this first one no snoozing now I used to do this a lot like set like
7:31
three alarms one just for the hope that I would get up but two like let me just
7:35
lay in a little bit let me just lay in but actually they say that you benefit
7:39
so much more from your alarm clock going off and pinging straight out of bed if you're tired just.
7:45
Activate yourself straight away covers off and up now they say if you snooze
7:51
you can sometimes become more tired that's when your brain is ready to take
7:55
on your energy and you're going no not today I'm just going to carry on snoozing
7:59
that's the energy I'm giving off today so just count backwards, just say five, four,
8:05
three, two, one, and get yourself up.
8:08
It's worked for me every time. And someone said to me recently,
8:11
and this really stuck with me, it was my sister actually.
8:14
And she said, do you know what? Sometimes, whether you get up at 6am or 8am
8:19
or 9am, sometimes you're just as tired, whatever the time.
8:23
So you might as well get up and utilize those hours and utilize that time of
8:28
your brain being susceptible and like a sponge.
8:30
So no snoozing. No checking your phone.
8:34
And also no jumping out of bed in panic mode.
8:38
So this is leaving yourself enough time. It's creating a routine of leaving
8:42
yourself enough time that you're not panicking and quick, got to get out the
8:46
door, quickly brush my teeth, no time to do anything.
8:49
So this is leaving yourself enough time. Now, I'm going to slightly touch upon
8:53
in a minute about joining the 5am club. Now, I don't know if you've heard about it.
8:57
I'm going to touch upon it soon. but if you watch my Instagram,
9:01
if you follow me on Instagram, I did join the 5am club and it has been groundbreaking.
9:06
So we'll talk about that in a second.
9:08
So this is about, instead, it's giving yourself a few intentional minutes to simply be.
9:15
Instead of panicking, instead of snoozing, instead of scrolling on social media,
9:19
this is about giving yourself a few intentional minutes to just be.
9:26
So try this instead. So when you open your eyes, place one hand on your heart
9:31
and ask, what energy do I want to bring in today?
9:34
What is my intention for today? I'm going to be magnetic today.
9:38
I'm going to be energetic today. I'm going to be successful today.
9:42
I'm going to be proactive today. I'm going to be at peace today.
9:46
So is it calm? Is it confidence? Is it creativity? Is it abundance.
9:50
Give yourself a minute with your hand on your heart and ask what energy do I
9:54
want to bring into the world today and then affirm it.
9:58
So today I'm in alignment with ease and abundance or everything I desire is flowing toward me.
10:04
So this sets your frequency before anything external can shift it.
10:10
So you can try some anchoring practices. So now that you're awake and that you're
10:15
aligned, it's time to anchor yourself.
10:19
So here's where you can bring in a few intentional manifesting practices into your morning.
10:24
So I'm going to give you a few examples and it's just a case of picking one
10:28
that feels like it lights you up and don't overcomplicate it.
10:33
Sometimes when we do the podcast or I give you a list of things that you could
10:36
be doing, don't overcomplicate it.
10:39
Many of the practices that I give you and the tools are quite simple.
10:43
And it's a case of enjoying them as well as you go on. It's not a,
10:48
this shouldn't be a, this is a really difficult list to follow.
10:51
These are really easy and they're going to elevate your life and elevate your day.
10:55
So one thing you could do is scripting. You could take a few minutes and write
11:01
a few things about what your dream life looks like, as if it's already done.
11:05
So you can say, I woke up in my dream house, my
11:09
email is full of clients wanted to book me I feel
11:12
magnetic and free that's one way you could do it
11:15
you could do future self journaling so asking
11:18
what would my higher self to do do today what my higher self do today and then
11:23
take her advice maybe you could do a mirror affirmation you look into the mirror
11:28
directly maybe while you're brushing your teeth and just say your affirmation
11:32
out loud you are ready you are magnetic you're manifesting miracles today.
11:37
Or maybe you can indulge in a couple of minutes of visualization.
11:41
Close your eyes and picture one dream thing happening today.
11:46
And this is all about today and the energy today. So this is a visualization for today.
11:51
This is a mirror affirmation for today, a self-journaling affirmation for today.
11:57
So perhaps visualize today money is coming in.
12:01
Maybe you get that yes email or maybe the idea is flowing for your future business idea.
12:07
Whatever that is just take a few minutes in
12:11
the morning to just spend setting
12:14
that energy and setting your intention for the day so
12:17
choose that anchor and these kind of anchor your mind into the reality that
12:23
you are deciding to choose for yourself today not the one that you're just reacting
12:28
to and going with the flow you're
12:30
going hold on a minute hey universe I am setting my intention today.
12:34
This is the energy I'm moving through today with.
12:38
So manifestation, it's not just mindset, it's about movement too.
12:44
And your body holds energy.
12:46
So if you wake up feeling stagnant, anxious or heavy, or you're just,
12:52
you're not feeling it today, then moving your body will shift you back into your flow.
13:00
Now, I cannot emphasize this enough. I must have spoken about this before on
13:04
past episodes, but it's about moving your body.
13:08
Now, again, even if you only have 10 minutes, so don't roll your eyes if you're
13:12
thinking, I've got a busy life, I run a home, I have kids, I have a full-time
13:18
job. I hear you. Of course, I hear you.
13:21
But a 10-minute walk around the block in fresh air will do you the world of good.
13:27
I guarantee you, your mindset will change on your 10-minute walk.
13:30
Or even just stepping out of your bed from under your duvet and stretching,
13:36
maybe play a song for even three minutes,
13:39
play a high vibe playlist or a high vibrational song and just stretch and move
13:46
and shake and kind of shake off your energy.
13:50
Or maybe do what I did when I was abroad recently and I was filming in Morocco
13:54
I was working before the sunset before the sunrise.
13:59
And and we just didn't have much time in the day to get to the gym to exercise
14:05
there wasn't really anywhere safe that I could go if I wanted to kind of go for a run.
14:10
So just for 10 minutes before my alarm set, even if my alarm was going off at
14:14
4 a.m., I know, sounds awful, doesn't it?
14:17
But even just 10 minutes before, I would have my leggings or my shorts or even
14:23
just my sports bra and do it in my knickers.
14:26
Honestly, no one's there. No one's watching.
14:28
Whatever you want to do. But I used to set just a 10-minute alarm and I would put some tunes on.
14:34
I had a manifesting playlist that were just high vibrational playlists.
14:38
They're always songs that get me going and I would sort
14:41
of just dance and jump and move around and
14:44
you know what every day I went to work everyone was like why are
14:48
you so awake why have you got such bouncing
14:51
energy and it was all to do with this just morning ritual
14:54
that absolutely changed my life even just
14:57
shaking like I said shaking your hands shaking your
15:00
hips your shoulders that can
15:03
help reset your nervous system it's kind
15:05
of you're in sleep mode so whatever you can do
15:08
to wake yourself up and you know what even if you're tired
15:11
and you want to kind of get into a onto a
15:15
mat on the floor and just roll from side
15:18
to side stretch your body stretch long
15:21
ways on the mat stretch your arms above your head and
15:24
feel that stretch and be kind to yourself this isn't all
15:27
about hard hit workouts it's just moving and bonus points if you can get outside
15:34
where you're doing it even better stretch outside on the patio go out barefoot
15:39
and ground yourself with the earth or put your trainers on and just go for a
15:43
10 minute around the walk around the block walk.
15:47
Also just a little pro tip here that if you're
15:50
doing your affirmations in the morning sometimes it
15:53
helps to move with your affirmations as well just kind
15:56
of bounce around I am magnetic I am
15:59
magnetic to miracles this kind of creates a a neural and energetic lock it's
16:07
like a magic fusion and it really really benefits and it kind of elevates and
16:14
magnifies and multiplies your.
16:19
Affirmations so maybe have a think about moving
16:22
while doing your affirmations shout your affirmations while you're
16:24
doing the stretches whatever you feel like so I
16:28
mentioned about the 5am club now I do
16:31
want to touch upon it it's not for everyone but but
16:35
but but but this is a big but I didn't
16:38
think it was for me now if I were to say to you
16:41
that naturally I don't think I'm a
16:43
morning person naturally I'm a night owl I
16:46
could stay up all night I could party I
16:49
could watch movies I wouldn't fall asleep unless I kind
16:52
of go to bed and tell myself to fall asleep but for
16:55
mornings I'm a bit more of a natural slow paced morning
16:58
person so me creating a morning routine
17:01
now has honestly I'm not even
17:04
gonna I'm not even gonna downplay it has changed my
17:08
life now recently I joined the 5am club and like I said don't roll your eyes
17:15
and think oh god you know 5am club not for me this is just even if you just
17:23
wake up you know you don't have to start 5am by the way,
17:27
the first time, you can gradually get a bit earlier.
17:29
So if you now wake up at seven o'clock, maybe set your alarm for six o'clock.
17:34
If you're a six o'clock bird, maybe try and wake up at 5.30 and try and see
17:39
if you can get yourself gradually to 5am.
17:43
Now, here's why it works. There's this hour at 5am that is proven or that is
17:50
thought to be absolutely groundbreaking and like a magic hour.
17:56
So firstly, you get to experience the world before the world wakes up.
18:01
And there is something, and I have experienced this myself, like I said,
18:05
I've been doing it for the past couple of weeks.
18:07
And I have to tell you, the first week or two, I was kind of going,
18:12
I cannot get up when my alarm was going.
18:15
But I knew I really wanted to stick to this and try it.
18:19
And the best bit for me was that,
18:21
I moved straight away. So I got straight outside and went for a walk.
18:25
And there is something about being awake before the rest of the world is.
18:31
Honestly, it's like a drug.
18:34
It's something in the silence and the stillness.
18:38
It's manifestation gold. You just feel firstly like you feel like you've achieved something.
18:45
You're like, do you know what? Pat on the back to myself because I've got up
18:49
at 5am and look, nobody's even up yet.
18:51
So you kind of feel firstly like you have achieved something.
18:55
There is something where you feel like there is value in the quiet and the fact
19:00
that nobody is awake yet.
19:01
And if you take yourself out on a walk before the world wakes up,
19:06
you kind of feel like you're experienced this VIP experience with nature.
19:11
I went for a walk, I kind of, the sun was coming up, the birds were singing,
19:16
the paths that I walk on were just empty of people. It was astonishing and it was absolute magic.
19:23
Like I said, you build this self-trust.
19:28
Every time you wake up early, you do it for you and your subconscious hears
19:32
you saying, I matter and I'm going to show you. So you're doing it for you.
19:37
And it's also a time for you. It's a time to create time for your dreams.
19:43
So this is a time before your emails, before dealing with the kids,
19:47
before dealing with work. It's just you and it's your higher self.
19:51
That's all it's about. And that's the thing with the 5am club.
19:55
It's about taking that hour solidly for you.
19:58
It's not really about getting up and doing a load of work.
20:01
I think they call it the 20-20-20 where you maybe get up and you do 20 minutes
20:07
working out and then you do 20 minutes of something slightly spiritual or kind
20:14
to yourself whether that's journaling, reading,
20:16
writing, something creative and then maybe something productive but this is
20:20
your moment, this is your moment to enjoy.
20:24
So it's creating your time and you don't have to.
20:29
Go from 8am to 5am, like I said, overnight.
20:32
You can just try it 15 minutes earlier and then try another 10 minutes earlier before that.
20:38
And soon you will do what I have done and you will start craving that magic
20:45
hour where it's just you, your journal and the universe.
20:49
So remember the 5am club, it's not about being productive, it's about being present.
20:55
So once you've grounded yourself, you've moved and aligned and you take,
21:00
it's time to take a moment to set your daily intention.
21:04
So ask yourself, what's one small action for my future self today?
21:13
So what's one small action that my future self would take today?
21:18
So put yourself in your future self's shoes and ask, what's one small action that they would take?
21:23
What's one small action I could do today that my future self will thank me for.
21:28
It could be emailing a contact. It could be posting an offer on Instagram.
21:35
It could be booking the workout class or drinking the water.
21:39
Nothing huge, nothing life-changing, just one small act of alignment.
21:45
Now, this tells the universe, I'm ready, I am serious, and I'm moving.
21:51
Then protect your energy, light a candle,
21:54
pull a card like if you have tarot cards or angel cards or say a quick prayer
22:01
or a quick affirmation whatever helps you to seal your frequency before the world barges in.
22:09
So there you have it guys that is your morning
22:12
remade into a magnet and if
22:15
you want to manifest your dream life you don't need
22:18
to do more and I think it's really important
22:21
that we mention that here because it can feel overwhelming of
22:25
all the things that you should be doing but it's
22:28
not about doing more it's you need to be more aligned so you're doing things
22:34
that are more aligned with you and your morning is the perfect place to start
22:42
so it is challenge time guys for the next five days,
22:48
I would love for you to create your own mini manifestation morning ritual.
22:54
So you get to choose your affirmations, what it is that you're journaling,
22:59
whether that's moving, dancing, scripting, walking, visualizing,
23:05
whatever gets you into that vibe.
23:07
I want you to create a morning routine. Now, if you're feeling really like this
23:13
is it, I am on my manifesting journey.
23:17
Holly, I have listened to you. I'm coming in strong.
23:20
I'm going to commit to joining the 5am club.
23:23
That is going to give you bonus points and remember
23:26
don't jump straight to 5am just set
23:30
your line 15 minutes earlier and then half an hour
23:32
earlier and just see how you get on with that there is
23:35
no there is no being hard on yourself if
23:38
you didn't make 5am I'm not gonna lie when
23:41
I joined the 5am club I had a
23:44
few days where I was like oh I did do a snooze button
23:47
and then I got up at like I think there
23:50
was one time I got up a quarter to six and I still claimed I
23:52
was in the 5am club because it takes time as well
23:55
remember it takes time to create a habit now your
23:59
task isn't to join the 5am club but I
24:01
have put the details of this 5am club into
24:04
this episode because I think it just shows how powerful
24:08
your morning routine can be and remember
24:12
coming from me who is not naturally a morning person if I can do it you can
24:18
do it so I would I definitely love for you to at least try and set your alarm
24:23
just 15 minutes earlier and try for the next five days to create your own mini
24:29
manifestation morning ritual.
24:32
Because by utilizing that morning time, like I said, you're multiplying your
24:37
manifesting work that you're doing and your results.
24:41
So if you do happen to get up and join the 5M Club or just set your alarm a
24:47
little bit earlier, I would love for you to share me how you found it.
24:53
Tell me how you find it. Tell me how you found it.
24:57
Kind of what your results were or are or how you're feeling because I have a
25:02
sneaky suspicion that I'm going
25:04
to get some messages from you guys and you're going to go, oh my God.
25:09
It's changed my life or oh my god I felt amazing or
25:13
oh my god I did the 5am club and then this
25:15
happened and I would love to hear your stories
25:18

26:07
you're what you've added to your morning ritual even
26:10

26:13
a candle and saying an affirmation now I'm sure at
26:17

26:40
friend cheerleader and I will be cheering you on all the way.
26:45
And listen, if there is one thing I want you to take away from today, it's this.
26:50
You don't have to wait for a big shift. You just have to begin.
26:55
You don't need a perfect morning. You need a present one.
27:00
I can't emphasize that enough. You don't need a perfect morning, you need a present one.
27:05
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just need to meet yourself in
27:09
the quiet and ask, what energy do I carry today?
27:13
What energy do I want to carry today? Who am I choosing to be today?
27:20
How can I love myself into alignment?
27:24
Every single morning is a doorway to your next level.
27:28
Every single sunrise is a new chance to say, I choose a life that feels good.
27:35
Now, I actually had this one day on holiday when I was kind of feeling a little bit flat.
27:40
I was probably a little bit tired and it can make you feel a little bit flat.
27:43
And I kind of thought in the morning, hold on a minute, I can change this around.
27:49
I set the tone for the day. If I'm walking around dragging my feet and just
27:55
not feeling happy, not feeling want to talk to anyone, then that's what I'm
28:02
radiating and that's the energy I'm giving off.
28:04
So I thought, no, I'm not doing this today.
28:07
I am going to be a magnet for people. I'm going to spread joy for people today.
28:12
I was like, I am joy personified. I'm going to walk around. I'm going to spread my joy on everyone else.
28:19
And that is going to be my energy today. And I completely flipped the script
28:23
and completely flipped and changed the energy I was giving off.
28:28
And as a result, like I felt like amazing things were happening in the day.
28:31
Like I go into a cafe and I get the best table that someone had just left and
28:36
they're like, oh my God, you've got the best table with the best view.
28:38
Someone would give me a free drink and that's not
28:41
what it's about it's not about getting anything back it's just about you
28:44
feeling as though you are owning and
28:47
dictating the energy that you want to give
28:50
off for the day so remember every single sunrise is
28:53
a new chance to say I choose a life
28:56
that feels good so if you have loved

29:52
