Ep 77. 24-Hour Lucky Girl Challenge: Manifest More in One Day · The Manifestation Station

0:07
You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
0:11
I'm your host, Holly Edwards, and together we can help create your magic.
0:22
Hello, you gorgeous manifestors, and welcome back to another episode of the
0:27
Manifestation Station.
0:29
I am your host, Holly Edwards, bringing you everything deliciousness,
0:34
manifesting positivity, tea.
0:37
You name it, we've got it. I'm sending you the luck. I'm bringing you the good vibes.
0:42
Thank you for tuning in. Now, if you are listening in real time, I can't believe this.
0:48
You will have, I actually know you wouldn't have heard me say it.
0:51
I put it on Instagram. So what happens is I record a podcast episode.
0:56
I edit it. I upload it. And then eventually it gets put on Apple and Spotify
1:03
and YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
1:06
Anyway I put it on last week and the previous week's episode which was the frequently asked questions,
1:15
it was the Q&A manifesting everything answered that you had typed into me very
1:20
generously on Instagram,
1:23
and it was sitting there all edited so what happens it I have to kind of push
1:27
the publish button and for whatever reason it hadn't published,
1:31
so for those of you that went Holly where's your podcast no wonder because actually
1:36
it looked like I had a two-week gap it actually looked like I dropped off the face of the earth,
1:41
but I hadn't perhaps there's a reason for it maybe you needed a little gap maybe
1:47
you needed a little catch-up I know I get really frustrated when I'm following
1:52
a podcast and I'm like come on bring out your next episode.
1:55
And I'm thinking the good thing in this the positive I'm taking from this is
2:00
that one some of you have noticed it didn't come out and that makes me go yeah
2:05
you're listening and you're watching fantastic well done you brownie points,
2:10
the next thing is that it actually means that you have a bundle of episodes
2:16
to listen to all in one go because,
2:19
two episodes came out this week plus today's one because I was a little bit,
2:25
a few days late on the last one.
2:27
So you've just got three, lucky three episodes. And I actually have to say,
2:32
they are pretty good episodes you're frequently asked questions which is wonderful
2:38
again thank you for sending those in and if you did send them in you haven't listened to it yet,
2:43
go through because I literally answered all of them some of them a lot of the
2:47
same questions were coming through so obviously they've been answered once but
2:51
hopefully your question will be on there let me know if I answered it I hope
2:56
that yeah I hope it gave you some answers that you were looking for,
3:00
But back on today, happy June, everybody. We are mid-June. We are halfway through the year.
3:10
You could look at that as halfway through the year. Oh, gosh,
3:13
I haven't accomplished anything yet.
3:15
Or you could say fresh slate. We've got another six months left of 2026.
3:21
And there is so much you can do and achieve and attract into 2026.
3:27
But funny enough, that's not what we're talking about today.
3:30
I am bringing you today a lovely kind of love when you have a little bit of
3:38
a task or a little bit of a game with manifesting.
3:41
Remember, manifesting thrives on fun. So anything you can do to raise your vibrations,
3:48
to lift your energy, to shift your mood is a great one.
3:53
So that is why today I am bringing you a 24-hour manifesting game now if you know me.
4:01
As in in real life you may have heard me talking about my own 24-hour manifesting
4:08
game which I created which is going to be in my new book
4:12
I've shared it with friends family colleagues celebrities and at some of my
4:17
live events but I haven't put it out on my podcast and I haven't put it out
4:21
on Instagram yet for various reasons.
4:25
I've been keeping it up my sleeve, but I came up with a 24-hour manifesting game.
4:30
And my gosh, when I tell you that every single person who has played it has
4:38
manifested their thing in 24 hours, that honestly is why I'm putting it in the book.
4:45
That is why I'm so excited about it.
4:47
It came from a day when I needed a boost and I was feeling a bit low and I created this game.
4:54
And I will bring it to you at some point. It will be in the book.
4:58
I've just finished my first draft of my manifesting book.
5:01
But it's a very loose first draft. So I'm going through it at the moment very
5:05
rapidly trying to tinker it and tweak it so that it kind of makes more sense.
5:13
And I want each and every one of you, if you do get the book when it comes out,
5:18
I want you to be reading it and just be excited to read it and to feel inspired
5:23
and hopeful and full of inspiration that knowing that you can live your dream life.
5:28
Anyway, that's a little teaser for you.
5:31
But today, I'm still giving you a 24-hour manifesting challenge.
5:36
Maybe we should call it the 24-hour lucky girl challenge. I do like the lucky
5:41
girl theory. I did a podcast episode on it a few months ago.
5:46
You may have heard of lucky girl syndrome.
5:49
It's a thing. And yes, all the guys who were writing in going,
5:53
Holly, stop calling it lucky girl challenge. I hear you. We'll call it the lucky
5:57
guy challenge, the lucky person challenge.
6:00
It just doesn't have as much of a ring to it, does it? So anyway, today's episode is fun.
6:06
It's lighthearted. It's simple, but I genuinely think it has the power to change
6:11
the way you experience your entire week.
6:13
And this is why I love a game with manifestation, because games can lighten
6:19
your mood, introduce fun, and they can provide evidence that your energy shift works.
6:26
So I think they can kind of propel you onto your manifesting journey or propel
6:30
you onto a more positive frequency just by playing a simple 24-hour game.
6:37
And that's why today I'm challenging you to become your very own lucky girl or lucky guy.
6:45
Not forever, not for the rest of your life. It doesn't need a whole load of
6:50
work on your part. Just 24 hours. Give me 24 hours of your time.
6:55
I would be oh so grateful. Now, before you roll your eyes and think,
7:01
Holly, that's easy for lucky people to say.
7:05
Well do you remember I've said if you've listened to all of my episodes I think
7:09
I I told you a few weeks ago,
7:12
that I had a bit of a slightly trolling message online where someone said to me,
7:17
oh well I actually had two I had one that was like oh well it looks like things
7:22
just work out for you it doesn't work for it doesn't work for me and then I
7:26
had another one on my Instagram,
7:29
and I wrote a it was like a carousel and it was like Delulu tips that I do for manifesting.
7:35
And it kind of went a bit viral and I can see why because honestly the the tips
7:41
that I gave I live by and they've changed my life and so many people have messaged
7:44
me going oh my god I love these Delulu tips,
7:47
but someone went I do like this however I've just looked at your pictures and
7:53
it already looks like you're living a very.
7:56
What's the word they used it wasn't wealthy life it was kind of like it looks
8:00
like you've already got like a perfect life or you live very well or something like that,
8:06
and then they went on to say yeah I tried it eight months ago it didn't work
8:10
doesn't work for me but good for you but there was a whole lot of bitterness in it,
8:14
now I do think there are people that do roll their eyes and go no I'm just not
8:19
lucky it's all right for people like you let me tell you I haven't always had
8:23
it that way I have had to work on my mindset on my lifestyle to,
8:29
introduce all of these little steps and to shift my energy so that for most
8:33
of the time that I'm operating on a more positive frequency and that I try to expect good things.
8:41
So for that person who said, well, it all looks like your life is great.
8:45
Firstly, I replied and I said, well, let me tell you, not every day is like that.
8:49
And I'll be honest with you guys, not every day is like that.
8:52
I have days where I'm struggling.
8:54
Excuse me, I've got hiccups. I wasn't crying. I have days when I struggle,
8:58
days when I feel a bit lost, feel a bit flat, don't know what I'm doing,
9:02
feel like I've been, you know, rejected, whether it's for a job or something like that.
9:07
But generally on the whole, I know how to come back to that energy at the right time. Anyways.
9:13
This game is not about pretending that bad things don't happen.
9:17
It's not about toxic positivity.
9:20
It's not actually even walking around and acting completely delusional,
9:24
although I love a Delulu tip.
9:26
It's about running a little experiment. This is why I want you to get on board
9:31
and go, do you know what, Holly?
9:32
I am going to give that a go.
9:35
So for the next 24 hours, I want you to act as though life is secretly on your side, not against you.
9:43
As though things are working out for you as though opportunities are seeking
9:49
you and they are looking for you,
9:52
so as though the universe fate coincidence whatever you want to call it is quietly
9:58
on your side and helping you out,
10:01
because most people spend their
10:03
lives running the opposite experiment on a day-to-day basis, thinking,
10:08
what if it goes wrong? What if they say no?
10:11
What if I don't get the job? What if I embarrass myself?
10:15
What if I don't get the promotion? What if I fail?
10:18
And after years of asking those questions, they become experts at spotting evidence
10:24
that things aren't working. Oh, it doesn't work out for me.
10:27
I knew I wouldn't get it. Nothing works out for me.
10:30
So we're flipping the script today and we're going to become detectives for luck.
10:38
So just to touch upon this thing that I mentioned before, which is lucky girl syndrome.
10:43
Like I said, I have done an episode on it. I don't know what number it is,
10:46
but it's lucky girl in the title.
10:48
So you can scroll back and have a look if you want to have a listen to a bit
10:51
more kind of in-depth. But very simply put, it's lucky girl syndrome exploded online a while ago.
11:00
And I think perhaps some people kind of misunderstood it because people think,
11:05
I think they thought it meant that you're sitting on the sofa repeating affirmations
11:08
and waiting for a million pounds to fall into your bank account but.
11:13
That's not how I see it at all lucky girl syndrome is really about expectation,
11:20
is about deciding that life might be more supportive than you've been giving it credit for,
11:28
and sometimes I think you know when you're going through a bit of a time and
11:31
you're feeling a bit bitter and that nothing's going your way you can I don't
11:35
know about you but sometimes like it's tempting to kind of like look up at the
11:38
sky and you're like thanks,
11:41
thanks a lot like for once could you just help me out and have my back here,
11:46
but think about it have you ever met someone who seems ridiculously lucky,
11:51
so you know the person that always seems to get upgrades or wins competitions,
11:56
meets the right people, finds opportunities,
11:59
gets the job offers, gets invited to places,
12:03
you'll probably be thinking of someone going, yeah, actually,
12:06
I do know that type of person.
12:08
And when you talk to them, they'll normally say more positive kind of statements
12:13
like, yeah, I don't know why, but things kind of seem to work out for me. I always land on my feet.
12:19
I just had a feeling it would happen. It's funny because these things always seem to happen to me.
12:25
So now compare that to someone who constantly says, nothing works out for me.
12:30
I'm so unlucky. That's typical.
12:33
That would only happen to me. Of course, this went wrong.
12:38
Both people are collecting evidence and they are just different evidence. That's all.
12:45
So think about that for a moment. And I have, you know, a funny example,
12:51
actually. Have you ever driven somewhere busy and immediately thought,
12:55
oh God, there's not going to be any parking.
12:58
Then you spend 10 minutes driving around stressed.
13:01
Now compare that to someone, and I hate to say this, this is me,
13:05
this is what I do, who leaves home saying, there'll be space for me. It's okay.
13:10
And somehow there always is.
13:13
I promise you that was manifestation. Maybe, maybe not.
13:18
But one person arrived calm and expectant the other arrived tense and frustrated
13:26
so one enjoyed the experience and one suffered before anything had even happened,
13:31
now I feel like I do this a lot with my partner Ben is that,
13:36
we'll go out or we'll go to like a festival or we'll go to.
13:40
Somewhere that's known for having limited parking he'll be oh no you know we're
13:44
not going to get parked you know it's so big and I'm like it's so weird you're
13:48
you are already expecting the worst but why,
13:51
and I always kind of put my hand on his hand and I'm like darling it's gonna
13:55
be fine we'll get parking,
13:58
even if we've got to go all the way to the top of the multi-story and come back
14:01
down of course we'll get a car parking space and think about it for a moment,
14:07
when even when it's been really busy and you've been driving around and around
14:10
around when have you ever not got that parking space eventually.
14:15
So why take the stress with it? Why take the negativity with it?
14:19
Why take the expectancy of it not happening for you?
14:24
It's just two different energies. That is as simple as it gets.
14:30
So your challenge starts here. For the next 24 hours, your job is simple.
14:38
You are not allowed to say, I'm unlucky or nothing ever works out for me or
14:45
even roll your eyes and go, oh God, it's typical.
14:50
Why does this always happen to me? So those kind of phrases,
14:54
those kind of sentences, they are banned they are banned for you okay,
15:01
instead what I want you to replace it with is comments or phrases like things are working out.
15:09
Something good is coming from this life is helping me there's an opportunity here.
15:19
And then I want you to just see what happens. That's it. That's the challenge.
15:25
It's as simple as it comes.
15:27
So what I want you to do is to become a luck detective.
15:32
So one of the biggest mistakes that people make is overlooking small wins.
15:37
Now, I always talk about celebrating every victory, even on the bad days.
15:45
Even on the bad days, I've said to people before, did you get up did you make
15:49
the bed fantastic please celebrate that victory are we celebrating the victory
15:54
that even though you were down today I'm talking about if you're having a down day in particular
15:59
but you know if you're having a down day did you get up and get showered did
16:02
you make it downstairs fantastic celebrate the victories but also even if it's
16:07
not you're having a bad day did you celebrate the fact that,
16:12
I don't know that you spoke really well in a meeting or your presentation went well.
16:16
It's not only about celebrating huge manifestations like the dream house,
16:24
meeting your soulmate, getting engaged, the six-figure business.
16:29
The promotion, but luck often arrives wearing a disguise.
16:35
And that's what you need to remember is that maybe somebody cancelling plans,
16:41
maybe at first you'll feel a bit annoyed, a bit frustrated, and then you end
16:44
up having the most relaxing evening you've had in years.
16:49
You know, that's lucky. Maybe you miss the train. Annoying.
16:54
But because you miss it, maybe you bump into someone who tells you about an
16:58
opportunity. That's lucky.
17:01
Maybe a job rejection leads you to get somewhere better.
17:06
And I think that I work with a lot of people who are trying to manifest jobs
17:09
or promotions, But maybe getting
17:12
rejected for that job will lead you to something better That's lucky.
17:18
Maybe even a relationship ending will create the space for the relationship
17:23
you actually wanted. Now, even if you can't see it yet, that's lucky.
17:29
The challenge, if you think about it, is simply about noticing and you becoming this luck detective.
17:37
So for that reason, to become this luck detective, I want you to think about today's evidence list.
17:44
So if you're going to play this
17:45
game with me for the next 24 hours what I want you to do is to keep score,
17:51
so every tiny tiny minuscule piece of information needs to go on your lucky list so for example,
18:01
you're going to create an evidence list and all the things that go right I'm
18:05
going to do this with you I'm actually going to start it after I've recorded this podcast,
18:10
every tiny thing that goes right for you in the next 24 hours is going on your
18:15
evidence list so maybe you can open this up in the notes app on your phone or
18:20
maybe you can write it down in the journal,
18:23
keep track of it throughout the day I think it might be good to have it on your
18:25
phone so that every now and again you can just pop pop in your evidence so,
18:30
this could be anything and I want you to really think outside the box really
18:35
look at the small things and the small kind of positivity moments that are coming
18:39
through so examples green traffic lights,
18:43
finding money in a coat pocket,
18:46
someone buying you a coffee,
18:48
someone giving you a compliment maybe receiving an unexpected message good weather
18:55
maybe you've got good weather and you're going out today.
18:58
A meeting going well finding exactly what you needed in the shops getting a
19:04
refund maybe getting a free sample.
19:09
An easy car parking space maybe a discount.
19:13
Good news, maybe just a peaceful moment in the day, perhaps a great night's
19:20
sleep, maybe a burst of inspiration or a good idea.
19:25
Write each and every one of them down because something magical happens is that,
19:31
you start seeing how many things are actually going right,
19:37
how many things are actually working in your favor.
19:41
And a lot of these things are things that we normally overlook so this is why
19:46
it works it's that your brain has something called a reticular activating system
19:51
I've spoken about it before it's called the RAS,
19:54
and I want you to think of this like a filter so,
19:59
every second your brain receives millions of pieces of information,
20:04
it cannot process everything even the smartest smartest of us with the biggest
20:10
brains ever it cannot process all of these millions of pieces of information
20:15
that we're getting every second.
20:17
So what the RAS does, it looks for evidence supporting what you already believe.
20:23
Now this is science guys, this is backed by neuroscience.
20:28
So what happens, it looks for evidence supporting what you already believe.
20:33
So if you believe that life is difficult,
20:37
your brain, your RAS, which acts as your filter will notice difficulties.
20:43
If you believe people are rude you will notice rude people it's like your brain
20:48
is backing you and going hey I know you think everyone's rude so what I'll do
20:52
I'll just filter out everything else and all the nice people but
20:55
what I'll do is just filter what you want to believe or what you're showing
20:59
me to believe and that's that you'll notice more rude people.
21:03
If you believe opportunities are everywhere, you'll start noticing opportunities.
21:08
Your RAS will filter everything else out, but you will hone in and you will
21:14
tune in to notice opportunities.
21:17
Those opportunities may have already been there. You're now simply seeing them.
21:23
Now, I've spoken about the red car experiment before. You've probably heard me speak about it.
21:27
You may have heard about it online. fine but if I said to you you're you think
21:33
about buying a red car suddenly you'll start seeing red cars everywhere,
21:38
and this is where I think it's really fascinating it's the same as when like
21:42
if you're looking for a particular car brand or a certain style of car,
21:46
suddenly you see them everywhere and that's your RAS filtering out what you
21:52
believe and what you're telling it to see so So did they magically appear?
21:56
No, you just started noticing them. Your filter, your RAS, your articular activating system was working.
22:04
So that has filtered out everything else and brought to you that brand of car, the red car.
22:09
Now, the same thing happens with luck.
22:13
And the same thing happens with opportunities. And the same thing happens with abundance.
22:21
So what if good things are looking for you?
22:25
This is one of my favorite thoughts. What if the opportunities that you are
22:29
desperately searching for are actually searching for you too?
22:34
What if your next opportunity is only one conversation away?
22:39
What if your dream home is just waiting for its next owner which just happens to be you,
22:45
there's no reason why these opportunities aren't actually looking for you so
22:50
those things that you are seeking what I want you to do is that imagine
22:55
that actually they are trying to find you it's your job to keep your eyes open
22:59
to keep your mind and your heart open for those to arrive,
23:03
so the energy shift when you expect good things you naturally behave differently you smile more,
23:10
you speak more confidently you take opportunities you start conversations you
23:16
notice possibilities you apply for the job you send the message you ask the question,
23:23
you take the chance,
23:26
so people often think that confidence creates luck but sometimes creating expecting
23:32
luck I should say creates confidence so.
23:37
Whenever something annoying happens what I want you to ask is how might this
23:42
actually be helping me not why is this happening to me but how might this be helping me it's such a,
23:50
powerful question and it's such a powerful reframe because it immediately shifts
23:56
you from being a victim into a mode of possibility.
24:02
So this 24-hour game, the 24-hour lucky girl rule, okay, here's your rule.
24:11
You expect things to work out. That's rule number one. You expect things to work out.
24:18
Rule number two, look for evidence.
24:22
Rule number three, celebrate the tiny wins. Rule number four,
24:28
stop calling yourself unlucky.
24:31
Rule number five, when something goes wrong, ask what else could this mean?
24:36
And rule number six, act like opportunities are around you.
24:41
Rule number seven, at the end of the day, write down everything that went right for you.
24:49
And that is your challenge. That's what I want you to do for the next 24 hours. It's very simple.
24:55
Just promise me after this episode ends, you can start straight away.
24:59
You don't need to start tomorrow. You don't need to start Monday.
25:01
You don't need to start the weekend.
25:03
Start right now. All I want you to do is to commit just for 24 hours.
25:08
Become the luckiest girl you know. Notice everything. Record everything.
25:13
Celebrate everything.
25:16
And then tomorrow night just look at your list because I think.
25:21
You will discover something quite surprising,
25:25
you might realize that you've been luckier than you thought all along not because
25:31
your life suddenly changed overnight it's not about these huge milestones but
25:36
simply because your attention did,
25:39
and where your attention goes your energy flows,
25:43
so it is that simple guys please let me know if you jump on the challenge I
25:48
would love to hear about it post it on your stories or dm me I'm at the holly

edwards or at the dot manifestation station,
25:55
if you have enjoyed this episode if you want to play the 24-hour game with someone,
26:01
please pass this on to them and if you have a moment, I would love it if you
26:04
could rate, subscribe or review the podcast and I would be oh so grateful.
26:10
So final thoughts on this is that I want to leave you with is that maybe being
26:17
lucky isn't about having a perfect life.
26:21
Maybe it's more about becoming someone who can spot the magic hiding in ordinary moments.
26:28
The person who notices, the person who expects good things, the person who believes
26:35
there could just be something wonderful around the corner.
26:39
Life feels different when you're looking for evidence that it's working.
26:44
Remember this is backed up by neuroscience, it's backed up by your RAS,
26:48
your reticular activating system.
26:51
So simply for the next 24 hours, become that person.
26:55
See what happens. And please do remember to check in.
27:00
I would love, love, love, love to hear all of your stories.
27:04
And I'm going to leave you with that. And just remember, you are exactly where you're meant to be.
