And then I go downstairs and I take my probiotic and then I, because I have to wait 10 minutes until I have my cup of tea, I do my oil pulling.
And then I make my cup of English breakfast tea or matcha like a complete ritual and sit and really savor it and enjoy it.
And then I pick up my phone and look at my messages.
How does this help you?
There's a lot of scientific evidence for the benefits on your mental health and your health and your longevity of gratitude.
So basically, I'm not letting my brain kick in.
I'm going straight to the gratitude so I can't even think about anything else.
I love the way you've kind of segued that from nature into manifestation because a few things here. One thing is if you just observe nature, you see manifestation all the time. You know, you see a flower growing from a bud into a fully formed flower and then its petals starting to fall. You see trees growing, you know, all sorts of things.
And the other connection there is that creating the environment within yourself and around yourself to allow things like manifestation to happen. And that basically means, at the simplest level, that you set a goal. You say, this is what I want my life to be like, or this is a specific thing I want in my life. And then there's a process that leads that to potentially manifesting in the real world.
But I do agree with one of those skepticism points, which is that you can't sit at home and think about it. So I've been really, really clear about saying that manifestation is not creating a fantasy and then waiting for it to come true with no action from yourself.
So I actually renamed vision boards, action boards, as if to say that, yes, create imagery that represents what you want, but then you have to be doing something every day to move yourself closer to that.
Whether it's being healthier just so that your brain's in a better environment or it's networking or dating or saving money, whatever it is that's going to get you, let's say, the house that you want. A great example is people might say, of course, I'd love a house in the Hamptons.
But if that's not realistic for you in the short term, then you'll only reinforce the fact that you're failing at manifesting. So it's better to say, I'd like to be on the property ladder and start there and then obviously build bigger.
There's a lot to unpack here.
So in terms of the motivation to make it really easy for people to understand, I called it magnetic desire, which is something that is so emotionally driven for you personally
and aligned with, you know, what's logically doable in your life and what your intuition tells you and, you know, what your creative brain can help you to achieve, that if you have magnetic desire for something, then, you know, I always say, if you follow your passion, you will be successful. But I'm mindful that that statement
and even your one of, I just want to wake up and do what I love, are extremely privileged statements. So with manifestation, one of the criticisms is that that's a luxury for people who already have more than what they need. And then they can say, oh, well, I would love to do this or have this.
And so I think what I've learned in where I have ever felt slightly defensive around that statement is that
that whoever you are, wherever you are, there is one tiny thing that you could do to make your life better, and it's the micro changes that build you up to getting to a point where maybe you can actually do something that you love rather than do what you have to do to put food on the table for your children.
But having said that, if your ideas for what you want to manifest are things like, well, all my friends are getting married and having a family, so I want to get married and have a family, rather than I've really thought about what I want to do and my passion and purpose might mean that I have to delay having a family and that's okay.
