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, Happy New Year and welcome back to the Manifestation station.
- 0:27I am so glad we're back. Now, guys, I don't know if you noticed,
- 0:31if you are an avid listener, I missed a week.
- 0:34I never miss a week. And I missed a week. The reason being, I would like to
- 0:38excuse myself, offer all of my excuses.
- 0:41But we ended up extending our Christmas break because we went away.
- 0:45And I thought, why not? We were sort of rushing to get back,
- 0:49rushing to get back to life. And we thought, actually, we don't need to.
- 0:53So we spent time, days walking on
- 0:56the beach we had a lovely beach Christmas in the UK it was glorious we were
- 1:03being blasted by the wind we were watching the waves roll in and it was really
- 1:09special I'm normally home at Christmas but it was such a lovely way to.
- 1:14Yeah, I actually feel like what it did is it gave us a little bit of a reset.
- 1:20And I don't know if anyone else has felt like they need a reset for January.
- 1:24Anyway, so that's my excuse for missing a week, but I am going to catch up.
- 1:29So I'm going to pop a few episodes in for the next couple of weeks so that you have loads ready to go.
- 1:37We're going to do loads of things for January. We're going to talk vision boards.
- 1:41We're going to talk New Year's resolutions. but please do not switch off now
- 1:46and think that is too much work because I'm all about the fact that January
- 1:51is very much still a hibernation month.
- 1:55And what can happen sometimes is that January is all very much like New Year's
- 2:00resolutions and all the actions and let's go, go, go.
- 2:03And yes, we are going to do an episode perhaps next week or the week after goal
- 2:08setting, action setting vision boards and things like that.
- 2:12However, I still want you to remember that January, we're still in a hibernation month.
- 2:17We're still needing to offer self-care, rest, resetting, but also what could happen?
- 2:24We set too many, too many kind of New Year's resolutions, like go, go, go.
- 2:29What happens? We run out of steam. We run out of momentum.
- 2:31So it's very much like a soft introduction to some things that we can be doing
- 2:37in January and that's why today I didn't want to come in hard with a new year's
- 2:43resolution goal setting. Now.
- 2:46There will be time for that. Trust me. Keep your eyes open for the next couple
- 2:50of weeks because we are going to do that because I very much feel that I need
- 2:54to set some new goals for the year and we're going to talk about that together, how we can do them,
- 2:59how we can stick to it and also how to make it exciting and also how to make
- 3:04it real and how to make it happen most importantly.
- 3:07Now for me, I've had a rotten cold for like the last week maybe.
- 3:12So I kind of really like
- 3:15to see in the new year with new energy new ideas
- 3:18and leaving the old behind but what
- 3:21I feel has happened because I had this rotten cold I was sort of in bed and
- 3:26and I've kind of missed that opportunity and I want to let you know that if
- 3:30you feel like you haven't fully embraced the new year new year's resolutions
- 3:35or you don't feel like you've got off to a really good start yet. That's fine.
- 3:40I'm with you. Today is my day one, really, where I'm like, right,
- 3:43okay, I'm now going to assess, assess what needs to be done for the year,
- 3:48assess what we want to attract for the year.
- 3:51But more than that today, we're talking about January.
- 3:55And I'm like, I want to call this like the January lifestyle edit or something
- 4:00like that. We'll see what the title is when it comes out.
- 4:02But firstly, I'm very happy to have you here. We have loads of new listeners in 2026.
- 4:09So if you are new, welcome.
- 4:12Thank goodness you found the manifestation station because I guarantee you every
- 4:16episode is going to be jam packed with amazing mindset tricks and lifestyle hacks that you can do.
- 4:24Sometimes soft, sometimes simple. Actually, I would say mostly simple,
- 4:28really simple but they are going to elevate your life so you are in the right
- 4:34place so thank you very much I'm very happy to have you here I'm really happy
- 4:38to be back and recording this episode this is the first one for 2026 and I think it's number.
- 4:44I think it's going to be number 53, which means we have officially done a year.
- 4:48Although when I first started the podcast, I was doing it fortnightly because it was a lot to do.
- 4:54And I'm still doing my full-time job, which I am a makeup designer for film and TV.
- 4:58And it was a lot to do. And every week I'd be like, oh my goodness,
- 5:01it takes a lot of time researching for the episode, recording and editing.
- 5:07Producing, because I'm doing all of those things at the moment.
- 5:10So I was doing it fortnightly. But as the podcast was growing,
- 5:15it gained momentum a lot at the beginning of last year.
- 5:18So then I thought, no, we are doing weekly. And that was a goal that I set last
- 5:23January. No, we are going weekly. So we have hit 52 episodes and we are steamrolling into 2026.
- 5:31So it's the start of January. I've actually moved my podcast studio today down to my garden room.
- 5:39And I'm looking outside and we have a blanket of snow.
- 5:43I have my woolly hat on and my fluffy slippers and the sun is shining through
- 5:48the window and I'm welcoming this new fresh energy.
- 5:55Now winter and January, I'm
- 5:58it can be a little bit dull, can't it? It can be a little bit heavy,
- 6:02a little bit cold, especially if you're here in the UK.
- 6:05For all of you Aussies, I know there's quite a few Aussies listening,
- 6:08you're laughing because we know you're in peak summer right now. So you enjoy that.
- 6:12And I'm sending you lots of love for all of that lovely sunshine you've got.
- 6:15But for the rest of us here in the UK and all the other cold countries,
- 6:19it can be a kind of difficult time
- 6:22of the year and post Christmas you know
- 6:25there's that lull there's that oh I've got
- 6:28to get myself back into gear and I'm here
- 6:31to help guide you through to a
- 6:34gorgeous January and what you're going to be really pleased about well I hope
- 6:39you're going to be really pleased about today is that I am holding your hand
- 6:44for January and offering some really lovely bucket list ideas for January to
- 6:51make your January memorable,
- 6:54wholesome, relaxing, but you still feel like your energy is charged.
- 7:00So, excuse me, we're talking,
- 7:04everyone actually, I think at the moment, I've noticed, I think very much with
- 7:08social media, there's lots of like, it's very loud and it's big goals and it's
- 7:13big plans and it's lots of pressure to become a brand new person.
- 7:19Well, let me tell you, you don't have to become a brand new person.
- 7:22I created this quote last year and it went viral on my Instagram and I put new
- 7:27year, new you, but I crossed out the new on the new you and I put same you, but better.
- 7:34So new year, same you, but better.
- 7:37And that's what I want you to think about going into 2026. You don't have to
- 7:41have a huge life overhaul and forget who you were in 2025 and all the years past.
- 7:46This is about kind of coming in with a new energy But just a better version
- 7:51of you And I just want to say Gently,
- 7:56January doesn't need to be big, hard and forced You don't need to paddle upstream
- 8:01and create this new way of living.
- 8:05It's about something a little bit different. That's why I didn't want to do
- 8:09your traditional goal setting today.
- 8:12And yes, that is going to come in another couple of episodes.
- 8:16But this is not a to-do list. This is not a glow-up checklist.
- 8:21This is not about fixing yourself. This episode is January as a lifestyle edit.
- 8:27Think of it when you go through your wardrobe and you quietly remove things
- 8:32that don't feel like you anymore. I did this a lot last year.
- 8:34I'd go through my wardrobe and I'm like, no, that's old me.
- 8:38That doesn't resonate with who I am and who I want to be anymore.
- 8:42And it feels really refreshing, doesn't it? When you kind of get rid of those
- 8:45items in your wardrobe that you feel like no longer speak to you.
- 8:50And then you maybe might add a few more pieces that make you feel lighter,
- 8:54warmer, or more your colors that you're
- 8:57that you're strolling into 2026 in so that's
- 9:01the energy of this episode we are talking
- 9:04today about making January feel good
- 9:07we are talking about clearing space without overwhelming
- 9:11yourself creating comfort and just gently resetting your energy without and
- 9:18here is the key without forcing anything so if you are listening to this later
- 9:24in the year that's perfect too because this isn't about the day in particular,
- 9:28it's about the energy shift and that's all we are looking for today.
- 9:33So I think we should jump straight into it and let's talk about reframing January.
- 9:40Now, as I opened with, January has a bit of a reputation for being sometimes
- 9:45bleak, heavy, slow, hard, can't it?
- 9:49But what if, what if January was actually a transition month?
- 9:55Oh, I can see your ears pricking up.
- 9:59What if January was a transition month? Maybe one where we come out of the noise of December.
- 10:07We walk into calm and peace. we let our
- 10:10nervous systems land and we
- 10:13quietly prepare the soil for the
- 10:15year ahead and I think that's what we need to envision
- 10:19is that January is about planting seeds
- 10:22it's about getting the land and the soil ready for
- 10:25all of your shoots and your growth that is going
- 10:28to happen this year but it's kind of just laying
- 10:31those foundations and that isn't hard
- 10:34work throwing some seeds in the garden burying them
- 10:37and kind of getting ready for those
- 10:40plants to thrive it doesn't take much
- 10:43work so in manifestation terms January
- 10:47is not just the planting season it's also clearing and grounding yourself so
- 10:55it's clearing the ground ready for the seeds to be planted so it's like kind
- 10:59of getting everything out the way that we don't need in our garden in order
- 11:04to plant the seeds and let them grow.
- 11:06So think about it. Nothing can bloom without space.
- 11:10Nothing grows without rest and nothing expands without safety.
- 11:16So isn't that lovely when you think about it? This is about clearing stagnation,
- 11:22clearing old energies, creating warmth,
- 11:26creating a space within our homes and our own energies for ourselves and our
- 11:31plants and our gardens to grow.
- 11:33It's making space emotionally, physically and energetically.
- 11:38And that is why I think January is really important to have a balance of cleansing,
- 11:45of kind of setting some goals, but also making January special for you.
- 11:52Everyone I've spoken to in the new year, happy new year. They're all like, oh, January, here we go.
- 12:00So I thought about this for today and I thought, what can we do with this episode today?
- 12:04And I instantly thought I know exactly what we need to do.
- 12:07And I wanted to create a kind of cozy January bucket list to make January work
- 12:15for you, to create warmth in yourself, in your life,
- 12:19to make you look forward and to feel excited for January,
- 12:23whilst kind of sneaking some goals into there as well, which we'll do later on.
- 12:28So here's your bucket list. I've created a few things for you here where maybe
- 12:33just pick one or write them all down if you want to and maybe do something every
- 12:38week or every now and again,
- 12:40just tune into this January bucket list and just think it's about creating a
- 12:45beautiful space for you.
- 12:46So the first thing I thought is that December is full of watching amazing TV
- 12:51programs and films and entertainment.
- 12:54And January goes a bit like, oh, here we go. We're back to normal terrestrial
- 12:58TV, news on the telly that isn't making us feel amazing.
- 13:03So what I thought was, let's create a January movie playlist.
- 13:09So this isn't just like, you know, I'm going to watch it and scroll on my phone.
- 13:13This is like, I want you to create, curate, sorry, your January movie list.
- 13:19So January, guys, is made for movies. It's made for great TV.
- 13:24It's dark evenings. It's early nights. It's blankets. It's candlelight.
- 13:30Why, why, why, why are we rubbish in January?
- 13:34This is the time, this is your permission to get cozy, to get warm,
- 13:40to soak up that time where you are allowed to slightly rest and hibernate.
- 13:47So here we go. Ideas for your January movie list.
- 13:51So just think, you know, one cozy film
- 13:54every every weekend you might not have the time in the week if
- 13:57you do fantastic if not choose one
- 14:01cozy film for your weekend or one midweek
- 14:04kind of comfort movie as a ritual so you
- 14:07could theme it it could be you know romantic comedies
- 14:11it could be old favorites or films you loved
- 14:14as a teenager maybe something that makes you
- 14:17feel nostalgic so something that has some heart in
- 14:20it maybe so you know these are all
- 14:22a bit girly but off the top of my head I was thinking little
- 14:26women Notting Hill you've got mail about
- 14:29time pride and prejudice eat pray love
- 14:32something that feels wholesome but make this
- 14:35list write it down somewhere and intentionally choose
- 14:39something off of your list it does something to
- 14:42your brain and your mindset that it excites you you're
- 14:44going to your list it prevents you from
- 14:47turning on the tv scrolling in on netflix you know like sometimes it takes you
- 14:52like an hour to find a movie or something decent to watch it actually doesn't
- 14:56make you feel very good it's it's kind of wasted time wasted energy but here
- 15:00you go with your lovely list of gorgeous movies to watch.
- 15:05The key is intention. So make your space nice, light your candles,
- 15:10put on a lamp, put your phone away or where it's unreachable,
- 15:15get yourself a warm drink. There's no multitasking allowed.
- 15:20January doesn't want you to be rushing, so it wants you to be present.
- 15:23Now this seems really simple and we're going to get onto some lovely feng shui
- 15:27things in a moment, but here's just something that you can look forward to in January.
- 15:31So make your list. If you have any good suggestions, please send them to me on Instagram or DM.
- 15:37I'm at the hollyedwards or at the dot manifestation station.
- 15:42I love hearing all your ideas and I love movies.
- 15:45I work in the movies. So if you have anything good for me to watch please let me know.
- 15:51The next thing you can do on your bucket list is to take up a crafting hobby.
- 15:57Now I don't want you to think like oh my gosh I've got work,
- 16:00the kids are back to school I don't have time for this trust me
- 16:04you have time for something that might be just 15
- 16:07minutes of your day maybe 10 minutes of your day maybe only
- 16:10two days a week it could be painting
- 16:13by numbers it could be knitting or
- 16:16crocheting maybe scrapbooking vision
- 16:19boarding doing a jigsaw puzzle how cute is
- 16:22that I used to think this is an old person thing but
- 16:25you know what get yourself a jigsaw puzzle and it's
- 16:28so mindful to sit there it feels wholesome and
- 16:32you can get all of these adult coloring books as well and there's something
- 16:35about it that you are being mindful and
- 16:38there's there's studies that have shown that it really relaxes your
- 16:41brain to be crafting and doing something with your hands as well there is something
- 16:46in there neurally that is scientifically proven I can't give you the scientific
- 16:51proven study results or anything here because I haven't checked that in my research
- 16:56but trust me it is proven.
- 16:59So this one is huge energetically and it's not a side hustle it's not something
- 17:03you have to get really good at.
- 17:05It's just taking up craft. Now, my sister, a few years ago, she bought me a
- 17:11gorgeous painting by numbers set.
- 17:13And oh my gosh, I did it for about two weeks in a row, like every night.
- 17:18And there'd just be times, sometimes I'd have the telly on.
- 17:21Sometimes I'd be, you know, just 10 minutes before I went to bed.
- 17:24I'd do a little bit of painting. I loved it.
- 17:26And by the end of it, I created this beautiful painting that I actually wanted
- 17:30to hang up. It was so gorgeous. And I thought, I feel really accomplished.
- 17:35I felt really calm. It stopped me scrolling on my phone. It was such a lovely thing to take up.
- 17:41So craft slows down the mind.
- 17:44It calms the nervous system. So this is bigger than, oh, I've just got a new
- 17:49hobby in January. It's bigger than that.
- 17:51It is bigger than that. It helps to calm your nervous system.
- 17:55So this gives us that kind of calming, relaxing January that we wanted to create.
- 18:02So a regulated nervous system is magnetic.
- 18:06So all of these things link to your manifestations and your visions and all
- 18:11of the things, the law of attraction that you want to attract into your life.
- 18:15By regulating your nervous system, you become more magnetic.
- 18:20So isn't that lovely? You take up a crafting hobby, you become more magnetic
- 18:24to your goals. Isn't that just a lovely manifestation hack?
- 18:27When your body feels safe, manifestation flows more easily.
- 18:33So January is perfect for rediscovering creativity without forcing anything.
- 18:40The next thing on our January bucket list is to create an at-home spa ritual.
- 18:47Self-care, self-care, self-care, I will keep banging on about it.
- 18:52It goes hand in hand with successful manifestation.
- 18:56Because again, it's like the one before, if it calms your nervous system,
- 19:00if it makes you feel like you're taking care of yourself, then firstly,
- 19:05you're going to feel amazing.
- 19:06But also you're showing the universe that you respect and you love yourself.
- 19:10And that will only attract in more feelings of that, more experiences where they go, yeah,
- 19:16the universe goes, yes, we see that you are taking yourself seriously and you
- 19:20are taking care of yourself and therefore I'm going to send or attract or magnetize
- 19:25back to you experiences,
- 19:27people and events that make you feel good, that make you feel cared for.
- 19:31So here's some ideas. You can get yourself fresh pajamas out and clean sheets at night.
- 19:38You can have a weekly bath with Epsom salts, maybe light a candle,
- 19:43listen to a podcast in the bath.
- 19:46Maybe get yourself a face mask and a hair mask at the same time.
- 19:50Give yourself a kind of little glow up in the spa.
- 19:52Maybe use body oil instead of rushing straight out of the shower.
- 19:58Smother yourself in body oil. How delightful does that sound?
- 20:01Like I said, fresh pyjamas, maybe a silk eye mask.
- 20:05I'm into this at the moment. I've got a gorgeous silk eye mask and it has made
- 20:09my sleep, I would say 10 times better.
- 20:13And it's great for the skin and it's great for anti-wrinkles.
- 20:16So there you go. That's a little bit of something for you. So January is,
- 20:20remember I said it's like that hibernation energy, but you don't want to just
- 20:24lounge around in your dirty PJs, not getting out from under the duvet.
- 20:29You want to feel like you are embracing January with intention and just say
- 20:36to yourself like I'm allowed to care for myself in January and your body is
- 20:41coming out of a long year that's been passed.
- 20:44So January is that still hibernation so just take care of yourself,
- 20:48look after yourself and soothe that energy.
- 20:52The next thing on your bucket list, number four we're
- 20:56moving into feng shui territory now i
- 20:59am embracing feng shui more
- 21:02and more into my life because i believe that
- 21:06your your space reflects your emotional
- 21:09energy and this is one of my favorite so
- 21:12this is very simple very simple and we
- 21:15rarely do it in january and that is to
- 21:19open your windows for a feng
- 21:21shui reset honestly it is so
- 21:25simple so in feng shui stagnant air
- 21:28equals stagnant energy so that means
- 21:31old energy not being released not being renewed for kind of new abundance and
- 21:37new experiences and new opportunities to enter so even if it's cold now I don't
- 21:43like being cold but I have been doing this a lot recently and honestly I can feel an energy shift.
- 21:50So even if it's cold, just open your windows for five to ten minutes.
- 21:54Let the air move. Let the house breathe. And while they're open.
- 21:59Set an intention and just say to yourself,
- 22:03I'm releasing what no longer belongs in this season and let that old stagnant
- 22:09energy leave the house and let that new fresh experience and energy in and just say,
- 22:16I'm welcoming fresh energy into my home.
- 22:20Fresh air is free guys. It's free and it shifts everything.
- 22:26Number five on our bucket list, let one thing go every day in January.
- 22:31Now, I saw this on someone's Instagram and I thought this is gold.
- 22:37This is absolutely gold. I love this idea so much. It's not a full declutter.
- 22:43It's not a Marie Kondo in your entire house, although I do love a bit of Marie Kondo.
- 22:48This is just one thing. And this is why it's easy.
- 22:52This is what I'm saying to you. we're still hibernating, it's soft,
- 22:55it's smooth, just get rid of one thing a day.
- 22:59Here are some examples and it's really easy to do this because you might think
- 23:03oh no this requires my work, my effort, my time, absolutely not.
- 23:08You can get rid of old receipts in your handbag, maybe just clean out your handbag,
- 23:12you know you just think for the new year if you've still got kind of bits of wrappers, receipts,
- 23:19old things that you're not hanging on to for 2025, have a clear out.
- 23:24Have a clear out of your handbag, old receipts, maybe a broken hair tie, an expired lipstick.
- 23:30Maybe get rid of like a candle that's burnt down to nothing and you're thinking,
- 23:35oh I'm going to keep that pot or the glass jar because it's really beautiful.
- 23:39Unless you're going to clean it out and refill it immediately get rid
- 23:42get rid of socks with holes in them maybe a chipped mug get rid of it clothes
- 23:48that don't feel like you anymore or maybe even old Christmas decor that feels
- 23:54tired every time you release something you are telling the universe I am ready for something new.
- 24:01That's so exciting. And I promise you, when I finish recording this episode
- 24:06today, I am going to throw something away and I'm going to stick to this.
- 24:12So I'll be doing this with you.
- 24:13This is one where I feel like, please do this one. Honestly,
- 24:17get rid of these old things, these old things that attach to energy.
- 24:21And remember, you're telling the universe, I'm ready for something new.
- 24:26Now because we've gone down the feng
- 24:29shui route here's another one
- 24:32that you can do these are like micro resets for January so here's just a few
- 24:37feng shui options for you so you could try clearing the space around your front
- 24:43door so I've heard this a lot and I try to do this so quite often we have lots of things, don't we?
- 24:51Piled up, shoes, coats, maybe piles of papers or bags of things at the front door.
- 24:58Now in Feng Shui, it's really important to keep the front door or your hallway clear.
- 25:05This is where new energy is invited into your home, new opportunities,
- 25:10new people, new amazing things and abundance comes through your front door.
- 25:16If it is cluttered, if it is cluttered with old dirty objects,
- 25:20loads of shoes piled up, you could be blocking that energy.
- 25:25So just have a little clearing space around your front door.
- 25:28Clean mirrors. Clean mirrors indicates clarity and it's also the same thing
- 25:34that when it's blurry it's kind of giving mixed signals to the universe.
- 25:37So clear those mirrors and that equals clarity.
- 25:40Decluttering bedside tables. So your bedside tables should be clean.
- 25:46This is our resting space. It nurtures relationships in our bedroom.
- 25:50So declutter those bedside tables.
- 25:53Refresh your bedding. Clean your bedding. Maybe go and get yourself a few new
- 25:58cushions so it feels like it's fresh and it's been reset.
- 26:02Maybe remove dead plants or dried up flowers.
- 26:06You know that sometimes you're hanging on, those flowers in the vase that are
- 26:09looking a little bit sad, a little bit like they're in need of something, just get rid of those.
- 26:15Put them in the bin, say thank you for your service and let them go.
- 26:19January energy, it likes things clean, open and breathable.
- 26:24And when I'm just talking to you about it, it gets me excited because I just
- 26:29know how much better it will make you feel if you just kind of clear some of
- 26:34these things or go with some of these kind of Feng Shui options.
- 26:38Number seven is to close energetic loops.
- 26:42Now this is powerful and so underrated.
- 26:47So energetic loops drain us. Now you might be thinking, what does this mean?
- 26:52What is an energetic loop?
- 26:53So examples of things, things that are like unfinished, we need to close loops.
- 26:59So for example, here are some things you could do in January on your January bucket list.
- 27:05Finish a book that you're halfway through. Now, this is one for me.
- 27:08I have a book that has been going since I went to Dubai in July.
- 27:12The pages have fallen out and blown away because I was reading it at the poll.
- 27:16I've got about one chapter left and I'm still going through it.
- 27:20So I am going to listen to this advice and I'm going to finish this book.
- 27:24So finish a book you're halfway through, cancel a subscription that you don't use anymore.
- 27:31Check what subscriptions you're paying for, cancel one.
- 27:34Honestly, it closes an energetic loop. It does something to your energy and it resets.
- 27:41Maybe reply to one lingering message. You know when you get a message or maybe
- 27:45it's an email and you go, haven't replied to that person yet.
- 27:48Oh my God, what are they going to think? I haven't replied to their WhatsApp.
- 27:52I haven't replied to their text.
- 27:53Just pick up your phone, open up your emails and just reply.
- 27:58Maybe complete a small unfinished task. If there's something that you feel is
- 28:03half done, maybe that's something in your house, it could be like something
- 28:07to do with like an admin thing.
- 28:09If it's small and it's unfinished, just complete it and that's it.
- 28:14Completion creates momentum and momentum invites clarity.
- 28:20Number eight is to create a
- 28:23January comfort anchor so something
- 28:27that becomes your January thing so at
- 28:30the start of this episode I was saying a lot of people
- 28:33write January off they kind of just put their heads down and
- 28:36try to get through it this is making January exciting
- 28:40so this is creating a comfort anchor making
- 28:44January like something that becomes your January
- 28:48thing so for example maybe you
- 28:51have a gorgeous special specific mug that you
- 28:54only use in January maybe all of your
- 28:56gorgeous hot drinks or your hot chocolates are made in this beautiful beautiful
- 29:00mug or cup or cup and saucer whatever that is maybe you only use that in this
- 29:06month and it becomes your special mug maybe you have a particular candle that
- 29:11is just for January evenings maybe you could actually go and buy one.
- 29:14Go out and buy one and think that is my January evening candle.
- 29:19That is my treat when I get home from work or I've finished doing all of the chores at home.
- 29:24That's your January candle that you light every night.
- 29:27Maybe you can find and pick a January song, a song that you play every morning.
- 29:34Maybe it's your January morning song to get you motivated.
- 29:38Maybe it's something that makes you feel upbeat and happy. Maybe it's a song
- 29:43that reminds you of summer or of hotter days.
- 29:46Whatever it is, just pick a song and maybe play that every morning.
- 29:50Or maybe have a particular blanket that lives on your sofa for January.
- 29:54And that is your January blanket for your January movie bucket list.
- 29:59And it's giving January that signature feeling.
- 30:03When you kind of say, right, that is only for January, it makes it special.
- 30:08It's like we have for December and we get out all of our December things and
- 30:12our December crockery and our December serving plates and our December cups
- 30:16have something for you for January.
- 30:19So what can you do to give January that signature feeling?
- 30:22And here's why all of this works.
- 30:26It works. It's energetic work. It's clearing your space invites new energy.
- 30:33Comfort creates safety. Safety allows expansion and expansion allows manifestation.
- 30:41Like I say, all of these things are intentional and you are calming your nervous
- 30:47system and like I said before when you have a calm and steady nervous system
- 30:52you naturally invite your manifestations it's where manifestation thrives.
- 30:57January is not about chasing, it's still hibernating and looking after yourself
- 31:02but it is about preparing.
- 31:04So don't just cut it off and write it off, lay the groundwork,
- 31:08look after yourself, make it your signature lifestyle edit.
- 31:13You're not behind, you're not late if you haven't done New Year's resolutions yet.
- 31:17I haven't done them yet, I haven't done my fresh vision board yet,
- 31:21I haven't set my intentions yet but I have started to think about what I want for this year,
- 31:26how I want to feel for this year and the kind
- 31:29of things that I want to invite in I just haven't done
- 31:32the solid work yet and put it onto paper but I
- 31:35am going to be and I want to remind you that
- 31:37you are exactly where you're meant to be right now so
- 31:42if January gives you one thing this
- 31:45year if you take anything from this episode
- 31:48let it be with ease
- 31:51January is giving you easiness softness
- 31:55and rest you don't need to do
- 31:58anything you don't need to reinvent yourself
- 32:01and you don't need to know what's happening through the whole of your year yet
- 32:06that can feel overwhelming that can feel like a burden at times if you are like
- 32:11oh my god I don't know what I'm doing this year that's okay we're just laying
- 32:16the groundwork we're planting a few seeds.
- 32:20And let January be the month where you soften, where you clear your space silently.
- 32:26Where you make your life just feel that little bit kinder to yourself.
- 32:30Self-care, being kind to yourself, looking after yourself, creating rituals
- 32:36that make January feel amazing.
- 32:38It's romanticizing your January.
- 32:41So if you know anyone that maybe struggles in January or they're having a tough
- 32:45time or you feel like this might resonate with someone, please share it with them.
