Latest / The Manifestation Station / Ep 78. Mid‑Year Manifestation Reset — You’re Not Behind, You’re Becoming
Transcript
- 0:07You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
- 0:11I'm your host, Holly Edwards, and together we can help create your magic.
- 0:22Hello, you gorgeous manifestors, and welcome back to another episode of the
- 0:28Manifestation Station.
- 0:31What a beautiful week in the UK we're having. I say beautiful, it is.
- 0:37I'm a summer girl, I'm a sunshine girl.
- 0:40Put me in the sun, put me in 30 degrees, any time.
- 0:43However, my goodness if you're in the UK.
- 0:48What a heat wave we have been having we have been,
- 0:5238 39 did we reach 40 degrees I'm not gonna lie my house felt like 40 degrees plus,
- 1:00it was savage and for all the Aussies and all those listening in the hot countries
- 1:06at the moment and those hot places you're probably laughing at us thinking.
- 1:10That's it you Brits like you know we just can't cope can we but remember we
- 1:16don't have air con we just have these little pathetic fans that blow around hot air,
- 1:23and us poor Brits we do struggle don't we I even got on the tube one day I got
- 1:28on the underground and I was,
- 1:30absolutely melting and I'm like how how do we cope anyway so much so this podcast
- 1:38is a couple of days later than normal I feel like I've said that a lot recently, but,
- 1:44I was so busy and so hot and so bothered that I don't think I could have delivered
- 1:51something worthy for you guys.
- 1:54I'd also like to just slightly apologise because you may hear some tapping or banging.
- 2:01And I've decided to record my podcast downstairs, my downstairs office today.
- 2:07And we are having work done upstairs and I've just realized it is exactly above
- 2:12the microphone so that's fun so if you hear some tapping if you hear some banging.
- 2:19That's what that is. I can only apologise. I can't edit it out.
- 2:24I've got a busy day. I don't even have the time to. I hope you can appreciate it.
- 2:28And I hope you can appreciate the fact that it's probably given me a big fat headache. But anyway.
- 2:34I think today is a very interesting subject on the manifestation station.
- 2:40So if you're listening in real time, we are right at the end of June coming into July.
- 2:47And I always think it's a time of year, particularly when I'm speaking to my
- 2:52manifesting clients, my one-to-one clients and family and friends.
- 2:56And I think a lot of people kind of sometimes have a little bit of a dip in
- 3:00the middle of the year and I think people think I must manifest harder I'm already
- 3:05halfway through the year,
- 3:07and I think it's really important for me to step in and kind of just remind
- 3:11you that you're not behind,
- 3:13you're in the middle of becoming we're only halfway through the year we're not
- 3:18looking at it as in you're halfway through the year oh my gosh because I think
- 3:23most of us and I've found myself saying this in the last couple of weeks have been saying.
- 3:27Already halfway through the year, time's running away really quickly.
- 3:31But I'm here to kind of interrupt that thought process and to have like a little
- 3:37mini mid-year reset with you.
- 3:39And to remind you, you are not behind. You're halfway through.
- 3:44Only halfway through you're becoming.
- 3:46And that's it. So wherever you are today, thank you for joining me.
- 3:50Walking the dog, driving to work, cleaning the kitchen, sitting in the garden with your coffee.
- 3:56Maybe you've purposely carved out some time just for yourself.
- 4:00And if you have, you get a huge big brownie point because I bang on and on and
- 4:07on and on to all of my clients saying, what are you doing for you right now?
- 4:11Have you carved even 10 minutes aside for yourself? So if you have set some
- 4:18time for me, for the podcast, for the manifestation station,
- 4:22well done congratulations and I'm very happy you're here whatever you're doing today and,
- 4:28whether you're listening in real time at the end of June beginning of July halfway
- 4:33through another year yes we are halfway through another year can you believe it.
- 4:38Or maybe you've just stumbled across this episode. Maybe it's October,
- 4:41January or five years from now.
- 4:45Where are you? I have no idea.
- 4:47This episode isn't actually about the calendar. I mean, it is a mid-year reset
- 4:52for those that are listening in real time, but it's actually not about the calendar.
- 4:55It's about the moments, those moments in life where you stop.
- 5:01It's about stopping, pausing, reflecting, taking a breath, looking around and
- 5:05asking yourself, hang on a minute, am I still walking towards the life that I actually want?
- 5:13And this is going to be a bit of an eye-opener today because you won't believe
- 5:17like how many times people's minds, people's directions, they change.
- 5:23And that's okay. Sometimes we feel guilty that actually perhaps what we planned
- 5:27for the first half of the year isn't materializing.
- 5:30Perhaps it's no longer aligned with you but this is the perfect time for you
- 5:35to kind of check in with yourselves because here's what I've realized is that,
- 5:41of course we spend so much time creating goals we do our vision boards we're
- 5:46doing our plans our timelines and.
- 5:50We get excited in January and we kind of tell ourselves, right,
- 5:53this is it. This is my year. This is everything I'm going to manifest.
- 5:57And this is the same with my clients. We map out what people want to manifest
- 6:02and strategic ways to get there.
- 6:04Tell ourselves, this is my year. And then, you know what happens?
- 6:09Life happens. Things change. We change. Sometimes our priorities quietly shift
- 6:16without us even noticing.
- 6:18And sometimes our biggest lessons completely rewrite the plan,
- 6:24and somewhere along the way we start believing, we start telling ourselves and
- 6:30changing the narrative saying I failed but not today.
- 6:36I want to completely change that idea because maybe, maybe in fact what I should
- 6:42say is very possibly, you haven't failed, maybe you are simply evolving.
- 6:49So we can sometimes measure life wrong. So if I ask you this,
- 6:54imagine the version of you from six months ago.
- 6:58So just cast your mind back and think about January version of you.
- 7:03Would they recognize you today? Not physically, not emotionally,
- 7:08not mentally, how you handle situations, the boundaries you now have,
- 7:13the confidence you've built,
- 7:15maybe the people you've let go of, the things that you've survived.
- 7:21These are the things that I want you to think about because it's not saying
- 7:25would you recognize yourself today, like not physically, emotionally, mentally.
- 7:28It's more about have you let go of people? What have you survived this year?
- 7:33If you're feeling like you've failed and you've not achieved anything, what have you survived?
- 7:39That in itself is a lesson. That in itself is a victory because the answer is
- 7:44any of those the people you've let go the confidence you've built the boundaries you now have
- 7:49how you handle situations even if you feel you've achieved nothing maybe you
- 7:53feel like you've been lazy or that you feel like you're behind,
- 7:57maybe somewhere your subconscious is kind of ticking over because you've been
- 8:02trying to reassess what your priorities are.
- 8:05You've grown I'm telling you you have grown even if your bank account hasn't
- 8:11doubled even if you haven't moved house yet even if the relationship hasn't appeared yet,
- 8:18even if the business isn't where you hoped it was and you haven't got as many
- 8:22clients yet growth isn't always visible and that's what I'm here to remind you of today.
- 8:28Sometimes growth is invisible until one day you respond differently to something
- 8:35that used to completely knock you sideways.
- 8:38Something that you let kind of not let yourself sink with where maybe perhaps
- 8:42before you would have panicked or have major anxiety. That's progress.
- 8:47Sometimes progress looks like subtle healing.
- 8:51Maybe if you've come out of a relationship and you're feeling like oh my God,
- 8:55this year has been horrendous and you've come out of a relationship. That's change.
- 9:00That's progress. That is moving yourself in a new direction.
- 9:04Maybe that healing or the first step of the healing process.
- 9:08Maybe you've been grieving. Maybe you've been grieving the loss of a family
- 9:13member or the loss of losing a home that you wanted to move into.
- 9:17What does your healing look like? What does your growth look like? What have you survived?
- 9:22Sometimes that progress might be, sometimes it looks like saying no,
- 9:27saying no to things that no longer serve you, no to people that kind of drain you.
- 9:33Maybe you've kind of filtered out of a friendship group because actually that's
- 9:38not fulfilling you and you're finding that it's draining you.
- 9:40Maybe you've left that relationship.
- 9:42Maybe you've packed in a job. Maybe you've started job hunting.
- 9:46Sometimes it looks like saying no. sometimes it looks like leaving sometimes
- 9:50it looks like starting over if you feel like you're behind you feel like you're
- 9:54starting over in love in your career with money,
- 9:58sometimes it looks like changing your mind.
- 10:02Changing your mind and this is something in particular that I want to talk about
- 10:06today because I speak to so many people and I work with so many one-to-one clients who.
- 10:13Sometimes they hang on to a vision. They hang on to a goal or a manifestation
- 10:18that they've wanted for a while.
- 10:20And sometimes they hang on to it so tightly.
- 10:24But actually, perhaps your priorities have changed. Perhaps your goals have changed.
- 10:31And sometimes we kick ourselves because we're like, well, I've been working
- 10:34towards that thing. Maybe you've been starting a business and you feel like it's not taken off yet.
- 10:38And perhaps you're now seeking a different direction or taking something else as a priority.
- 10:44So sometimes it looks like changing your mind and that is progress too.
- 10:49And I think we've been taught that changing direction somehow means that we're
- 10:53giving up and we're giving in. And I'm here to tell you that I don't agree with that.
- 10:59So imagine that you're on a train journey, okay?
- 11:03You bought a ticket back in January, so cast your minds back to if you're in
- 11:08the UK a very cold a very wet windy January if you're in Australia yes we know your summertime,
- 11:16you lucky little things anyway so the cars from my back to January you bought
- 11:21this train ticket okay you were absolutely convinced that that was heading to
- 11:26the destination you wanted.
- 11:29But halfway through your journey let's say you look out of the window you've
- 11:34learned things you've met people along the way you've changed,
- 11:39and suddenly suddenly halfway through this journey you realize actually I don't
- 11:44want to get off there anymore,
- 11:47would you force yourself to stay on that train simply because you'd already
- 11:52bought that ticket would you.
- 11:55Of course you wouldn't. You would change trains. It's not a big deal.
- 11:59So why then do we do that with our dreams? Why do we keep forcing ourselves
- 12:04towards goals that no longer excite us and that no longer light us up?
- 12:10I know why. Maybe because we told everyone. Maybe we told everyone this is what
- 12:15we're doing. This is what I'm aiming for.
- 12:17But actually sometimes figuring those things out ourselves and realizing that,
- 12:22actually we do want to change trains we do want to change directions,
- 12:27that is huge huge growth and also by backing yourself and saying do you know
- 12:34what I do have the power of choice I do have the power to change my mind.
- 12:40Maybe you felt like you put it on your vision board, so it has to stick.
- 12:43Or maybe you feel like you don't want to quit.
- 12:45Like I said, maybe that's your side hustle or your new business,
- 12:48and you think it's going in a different direction, but you're thinking, no, I must hang on.
- 12:52I've told everybody I'm doing this. I don't want to feel like I've quit.
- 12:56But sometimes quitting the wrong thing is exactly what allows the right thing to begin.
- 13:03And I can't tell you how much I've banged on about this in my private one-to-one
- 13:09sessions that actually quitting is a big powerful,
- 13:16universe manifestation move because you are allowing the right things to begin
- 13:21and to flourish by instead you might be blocking your manifestations by now
- 13:25no I won't quit and I must do this because I've put it on my vision board,
- 13:29I want this episode today to make you realize that actually you have choice,
- 13:35you have choice to change your mind that is growth you are leaving a chapter
- 13:39behind you're okay to leave a chapter behind and step into the new version of
- 13:43you step onto a new train step onto a new direction onto a new path.
- 13:49And just remember that progress isn't linear so I think one of the biggest lies
- 13:54is particularly on social media tells us that
- 13:57successful people have this beautifully straight path or we see success online
- 14:02don't we and I think we go oh well
- 14:05it's all right for them they've made a success but actually
- 14:08we don't see all of the failures we don't see the struggles we don't see the
- 14:12quitting we don't see the change of directions.
- 14:16And I think life for everyone, I will hold my hands up and I'll go out on a
- 14:21whim here and I'll say, I think life for everyone looks much more like a winding country road.
- 14:27I don't think it's one straight line for anyone. I don't think progress is linear for everyone.
- 14:32Sometimes you go forwards. Sometimes you pause.
- 14:36Sometimes you get to a crossroads. Sometimes you take the wrong turning.
- 14:40Sometimes you have to reverse, go back on yourself.
- 14:43You discover something unexpected you meet someone who changes everything you
- 14:48stop you rest you sometimes I've been at a point recently where I feel like
- 14:54I've had a moment of feeling a little bit stuck,
- 14:57and feeling like I'm at a huge crossroads like where am I going am I changing direction,
- 15:03but that is also part of the journey I realize that sometimes you don't have to.
- 15:09Have it figured at times these feelings of feeling stuck or just simply deciding
- 15:18to choose you to rest for a while and not be pushing forward with a hundred percent,
- 15:23you know with your goals and sometimes it's about doing less and just taking
- 15:28a step back and sometimes reversing is progress too that is real life and if your year,
- 15:35hasn't looked exactly like the plan, then congratulations. You're human.
- 15:41You are human. You are still manifesting. You're still amazing.
- 15:45You're still victorious.
- 15:46And that is what I want you to take from this episode. There are no failures here.
- 15:51I promise you if this year hasn't panned out the way you expected,
- 15:55I don't want you to think, okay, well this year I'm going to write off.
- 15:59You still have six months left.
- 16:01We are only six months through the year. You still have July August,
- 16:05September, October, November, December.
- 16:08And wherever you're at, whenever you are listening to this, you still have time.
- 16:13It's not over. We're not writing the year off just because it hasn't gone your way.
- 16:18Even if you've had negativity, if you've had tough blows and you've had mountains to climb, it's okay.
- 16:25Sometimes the plan doesn't look like, sometimes we make these plans in January,
- 16:29and we go off on a complete winding tangent and that's okay too.
- 16:35You are human and congratulations.
- 16:38So.
- 16:39What I am giving to you today is the mid-year permission slip.
- 16:44If you are listening in real time today, I'm officially giving you a mid-year permission slip.
- 16:50This is permission for you to do anything your heart desires.
- 16:57This is permission for you to change your mind,
- 17:01to let a dream evolve, permission to admit that something isn't lighting you up anymore,
- 17:10permission to let yourself change direction,
- 17:14permission to leave people or situations that no longer serve you,
- 17:20permission to want more permission to want less permission to slow down your
- 17:28permission to start again from scratch.
- 17:33Your permission to stop chasing someone else's definition of success,
- 17:38because your life isn't supposed to look like anyone else's now I say this all
- 17:44the time but you have to trust your own timeline,
- 17:49when we look at other people's particularly on social media and we compare and we think,
- 17:54well they've found their soulmate but I'm still searching or maybe you've got
- 17:57divorced and you think you're never going to find love again,
- 18:00if you are changing careers, if you're feeling stuck in your current career,
- 18:05don't compare yourself to anyone's timeline.
- 18:08Trust your own timeline and trust that everything for you will unravel at the exact right moment.
- 18:18So here's some things that I want to ask you.
- 18:21I want you to imagine that I'm in the room with you.
- 18:24Okay, we're just two friends having a cup of tea, have a cup of coffee together.
- 18:29There is no pressure. There's no judgment from me, just honestly.
- 18:33So if I was with you right now, these are the questions that I would ask you.
- 18:39I would ask you, what has been giving you energy lately?
- 18:44Think about these questions and really answer them if you want.
- 18:48You can grab your journal you can pause me rewind me forward me whatever you want to do,
- 18:53what's been giving you energy lately so anything in your life that you feel
- 18:58like is lifting you is it a certain person is it people is it an exercise routine
- 19:05is it something that you're watching on the television is it,
- 19:08a hobby that you've taken up what is giving you energy lately.
- 19:13What keeps popping up in your mind? We have to listen sometimes to our gut instincts,
- 19:20our kind of conscious, constant thoughts that pop into our heads.
- 19:25So if there's something, a passion that you've been constantly thinking about,
- 19:29a class that you've wanted to start, perhaps a passion project you've wanted
- 19:34to begin, what keeps popping into your mind?
- 19:38And what are you naturally curious about what have you secretly been researching
- 19:43so again this can quite often relate to if you are looking into like business
- 19:49or expanding your career,
- 19:52what conversations light you up what floats your boat who do you talk to when
- 19:56you think I love getting deep about talking about the universe or is it talking
- 20:02about that Netflix series with your friends, like what conversations light you up?
- 20:07What feels heavy every time you think about it? Is there a situation,
- 20:12a person, an experience, an event in your life that feels heavy every time you think about it?
- 20:19What are you forcing and where are you flowing? And this is where you tap into
- 20:24perhaps the things that you were looking to manifest earlier in the year.
- 20:28Are there things that you're forcing.
- 20:30I work with a few clients who have been forcing a particular career move or a business idea,
- 20:36and they're feeling as though it's forced but there are other areas that I've
- 20:41been developing with them,
- 20:42which there's a real sense of flow and passion in them and it's so interesting
- 20:48because that is where they're flowing but if you feel like you're forcing something,
- 20:53a relationship, a business idea, whatever it is,
- 20:56that isn't quite aligned with you. So where are you flowing?
- 21:01Also ask yourself, where have you outgrown something but you haven't admitted it yet?
- 21:07This is a heavy one because sometimes we outgrow people, we outgrow experiences,
- 21:13places, you know, businesses, jobs, whatever it is.
- 21:19Where have you outgrown something but haven't admitted it yet?
- 21:23Dig deep and admit it to yourself. Because sometimes we hang on to things through
- 21:29ego or through force because we feel like we have to.
- 21:32Or because we feel like we should because it's other people's perceptions of what we should do.
- 21:38You will feel free if you let go of something you feel you have outgrown,
- 21:44these answers to these questions are honestly they are so powerful because your
- 21:49energy never lies but sometimes we just don't,
- 21:53quite tap into what it is that we need and I always explain this analogy of
- 21:58imagine standing in a river
- 22:00so one direction is a is flowing beautifully down this river as we do when we
- 22:07watch a river and the and the water flows beautifully,
- 22:10the other direction is up script upstream and that requires every ounce of your
- 22:16strength I always say madeline imagine you're paddling upstream against the current.
- 22:23You could either keep fighting that current and going against what feels natural
- 22:27to you or you could turn around.
- 22:31Simply turn around, change direction,
- 22:36and go with the flow. Because if you don't, it can be exhausting.
- 22:41Maybe you won't ever get anywhere if you're going upstream.
- 22:44This is where you have to find your flow. What lights you up? Who lights you up?
- 22:50What passion project can you start working on finding your flow finding your
- 22:56priorities and what you want to work on what you need offering yourself kindness
- 23:01and love finding that flow you're going to,
- 23:06you're going to feel far more aligned in your life and that's by simply turning
- 23:12around and completely changing your direction,
- 23:16because maybe you've become wise enough to recognize flow manifestation is not
- 23:22about forcing when we have to force anything it doesn't come naturally it doesn't
- 23:27come with a high vibrational energy,
- 23:30so we have to find we have to find what is your flow and then everything will
- 23:36slot into place because everything feels aligned and that is the huge difference
- 23:41that it will make to your to your manifesting game.
- 23:45So I think we should do a mid-year reset ritual together. I thought it would
- 23:48be lovely if you could take something practical away from this episode.
- 23:53So if you get a chance later on or after you've listened to this podcast, grab your journal.
- 23:59I want you to put your favorite playlist on or favorite movie on in the background.
- 24:03Light a candle, maybe make yourself a coffee.
- 24:06If the weather's nice, sit outside if the weather allows. And divide your page into four sections.
- 24:14So section one is we're going to write the title celebrate and I want you to
- 24:20write down absolutely everything that's gone well this year.
- 24:26That could be big things, tiny things, unexpected things, every single win counts.
- 24:34So even if you go, I speak kinder to myself now, I finally asked someone for
- 24:40help, I drink more water, I eat less sugar, I've become calmer,
- 24:47I've become to trust my gut more.
- 24:49Nothing is too small. So anything that is a celebration, anything that is a
- 24:55win is going into this section to celebrate.
- 24:59Section two, the title is to release. and I want you to think about what you
- 25:04are carrying that no longer belongs in the second part of this year.
- 25:09That could be a situation, a goal, a pressure that you're putting on yourself,
- 25:15an expectation, someone else's opinion.
- 25:18Maybe we do things. I speak so often to people that we're doing things because
- 25:23of other people's opinions and expectations.
- 25:26So what are you carrying that no longer belongs in the second half this year,
- 25:31what would we like to release? Write it down, thank it and let it go.
- 25:37Section three, the title is realigned.
- 25:42And for this section, what I want you to do is to ask yourself,
- 25:45if nobody expected anything from me, what would I choose next?
- 25:53Not what looks impressive, not what my ego thinks we should do,
- 25:57not what someone else thinks we should do.
- 25:59What would I choose next if nobody expected anything from me?
- 26:04And again, it's not what looks impressive from the outside. What actually feels exciting to you?
- 26:11Tap into you tap into your into your gut into your subconscious what floats your boat boat,
- 26:19and you know like sometimes those answers might surprise you we don't do this
- 26:23enough when we check in with ourselves and go look if there's no expectations
- 26:27from anyone else what would I choose next what would I choose next to do and let's start that thing.
- 26:33Section four our title is restart.
- 26:37So choose three priorities, not 15, not 20, just three.
- 26:44What are your three priorities? I want you to think of maybe one personal priority,
- 26:50one career priority and one joyful. I love joyful goals, honestly,
- 26:55because not every goal has to make us money.
- 26:59Maybe it might be that I am committing to reading a book a month or a book a year,
- 27:07choose three priorities for you maybe it's learning pottery
- 27:12maybe it's swimming in the sea more maybe it's visiting new places having more
- 27:16spontaneous adventures having more alone time from your family maybe it's taking
- 27:21yourself on a solo coffee,
- 27:24life isn't only about productivity it's also about living in alignment living
- 27:30in your flow going downstream going with the river in your flow.
- 27:35And I want you to remember that tiny tweaks create big results.
- 27:39And here's something that absolutely fascinates me.
- 27:44When you think about this, right, imagine a plane leaving London.
- 27:50So if that plane changes direction by just one degree, it will land somewhere completely different.
- 28:00And that is just one degree of change. That's all.
- 28:03And I want you to imagine that that is how life works in in the exact same way,
- 28:08so you do not need to reinvent yourself tomorrow you do not need a dramatic
- 28:13glow up you don't need to wake up at 4 a.m you don't need an entirely different
- 28:18personality personality an entirely different life sometimes,
- 28:24one tiny habit can change everything and.
- 28:29I I want to write now I'm writing a manifesting book at the moment.
- 28:32I want to write this as my next book. It's just like one tiny habit changes
- 28:36everything because it's not about the huge milestones, the huge shifts.
- 28:41Little tiny habits change everything. That could be deciding to walk 10 minutes a day.
- 28:46If you're doing nothing already and you go, right, I'm going to walk 10 minutes a day.
- 28:49It could be reading five pages. It could be like me writing one page of my manifesting book a day.
- 28:56It could be sending one email, posting one video online, saving 20 pounds a
- 29:02week, going to bed half an hour earlier, meditating for three minutes a day.
- 29:09Tiny changes equal massive destinations.
- 29:13And that's what I want you to remember. If you're feeling overloaded,
- 29:18if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling lazy like you haven't achieved, just pick something.
- 29:23Pick one small habit you can change today.
- 29:27And if you're thinking, what if it still hasn't happened? Maybe you're listening
- 29:31and going, Holly, you know what, Holly, I've done the visualizations,
- 29:35I've done the affirmations, I've worked hard, it's still not here.
- 29:38Well, firstly, I hear you. That feeling is very real. It's very normal.
- 29:42It comes up a lot for a lot of people.
- 29:45But let me offer another perspective because sometimes a delayed manifestation, it isn't rejection.
- 29:53Sometimes life is preparing both you and the opportunity.
- 29:58This is where I say to trust your timeline, because it's not until we have hindsight,
- 30:03that it makes us realize why that thing happened at the exact right time.
- 30:07So sometimes you're becoming the version of yourself who will actually be ready
- 30:12to hold everything you've asked for.
- 30:14So if you think about that, whatever you're trying to manifest,
- 30:17if it hasn't happened yet, if you're manifesting your soulmate and it hasn't happened yet,
- 30:22perhaps you are preparing yourself mentally, physically, emotionally to be able
- 30:28to hold everything that is going to come your way.
- 30:32And sometimes the thing you're asking for evolves into something even better
- 30:37because you evolve first.
- 30:39This is why I always say go and work on yourself. Go and work on yourself.
- 30:43Find your flow, find your passion find your joys because the more that you evolve
- 30:49the more the better the thing will be that you're trying to manifest it will
- 30:54be what you want to manifest or something better.
- 30:57So think back. We've got another six months of the year if you're listening
- 31:02in real time. But even if you haven't, even if you've only got one month left, we still have time.
- 31:07Think back six months ago. Could you have predicted everything that's happened
- 31:11so far this year? Probably not.
- 31:14Which means in a positive way, you can't accurately predict what could happen
- 31:19between now and the end of the year either.
- 31:22New friendships, new opportunities, new emails landed in your inbox,
- 31:27unexpected opportunities, maybe a chance conversation, one email,
- 31:31one phone call, one brave decision.
- 31:34Your whole life can change remarkably quickly.
- 31:38Your life could actually change in 24 hours. So don't write off the second half
- 31:43of the year before it's even begun.
- 31:46So this is my reminder to you is that wherever you're at this time of the year,
- 31:51halfway through the year, three quarters of the way through the year,
- 31:54wherever you're at, I don't want you to look back and think that you have failed.
- 31:59I want you to look back and think there will be lessons in my year.
- 32:03Perhaps you have manifested things and you're doing really well.
- 32:06And if this is your year, good for you. Keep going.
- 32:09If not, I want you to reflect that it's not over. We're not giving up.
- 32:13Just find more things that align with you. Go with your flow.
- 32:19Reassess and reevaluate the things that you want in this next part of the year.
- 32:25So I want you to picture yourself on New Year's Eve, okay? You've got a cosy
- 32:30blanket around you. You're reflecting on the year.
- 32:34What do you hope she thanks you for? Future you.
- 32:40Not what you've achieved, maybe what you chose. Maybe future you will say,
- 32:46thank you for finally believing in me.
- 32:48Thank you for letting that thing go.
- 32:51Thank you for taking the risk. Thank you for resting this year.
- 32:55Thank you for changing direction. Thank you for not giving up. And it's that simple.
- 33:01That is all, honestly, that is enough.
- 33:05So this week, I have a challenge for you. It's called the Fresh Start List.
- 33:09I want you to write down 20 things, not goals, possibilities.
- 33:15Things that you would love to experience. That's it.
- 33:19Try, learn, become, feel, explore.
- 33:23They don't have to make sense. some might be tiny some might be huge almost
- 33:27a bit like a bucket list type thing things that you would love to experience
- 33:31with bringing the joy back into life,
- 33:34and the point is to reconnect with possibility the the joy and the point is
- 33:39to reconnect with yourself and think I have time,
- 33:43I'm only halfway through the year or wherever you're at I have time what do
- 33:46I want to achieve because we must check in with ourselves and we don't just
- 33:51let the the rest of the year kind of,
- 33:54go with or we kind of what am I trying to say we're not letting the year lead
- 33:58us we are leading the year so what do we want to bring into it it may don't
- 34:03have to be huge it might be things that you want to try places that you want
- 34:06to visit people that you want to see,
- 34:09and I think because possibility is where manifestation begins it ignites a hope and inspiration in us.
- 34:18And that is it. We are almost closing today's episode. And if you've enjoyed
- 34:24this episode, please do share it with a friend.
- 34:26Maybe share it with some friends that need some re-evaluation the second half

- 35:56I'm honestly I'm so happy and I'm so happy that you've joined me today and I
- 36:03just want you to remember that.
- 36:06You are not behind. You haven't missed your chance. You haven't ruined your
- 36:10year. You are simply halfway through writing this chapter.
- 36:14And the beautiful thing about chapters, they can completely change direction.
- 36:18They can completely change tone.
- 36:21Celebrate that. We don't know what's coming. There could be so many good things coming for you.
- 36:26Celebrate everything and bring more joy into your life.
- 36:29How can you bring more joy in? How can you go with the flow more,
- 36:33and stop fighting and going upstream because that is exhausting let's change
- 36:38direction if we need to just shimmy that one degree like we said in the plane
- 36:42that lands in a completely new direction,
- 36:45the second half of your year doesn't have to look anything like the first so
- 36:49if you have had a mare of a first half of the year it doesn't have to look like
- 36:52that we're not writing it off,
- 36:54sometimes the best chapters are the ones that you never planned so take care keep believing,
- 37:01keep those tiny align steps coming and I'll see you on the next episode and
- 37:05remember you are exactly where you're meant to be goodbye.
