9 Manifestation Habits For Your Morning Routine

lisa — Sun, 16 May 2021 12:36:49 +0000

Give your morning routine a twist by actively including habits that will help you manifest your dream life. The energy we create in the morning determines how we react to the unfolding of our day.

If we accomplish to put ourselves in a high frequency right after waking up, we have a good chance to experience an amazing day.

Making these habits part of your daily ritual will transform your outlook on life, and hence lets you take action toward your goals.

You gain a new perspective on what’s possible for you to achieve. New opportunities you didn’t see before are opening up to you out of nowhere – you attract with more and more ease and confidence.

Affirmations

Make a list of affirmations that make you feel inspired and feel true to the life you desire to create.

It’s very important that they resonate with you on a deeper level. You can also create your own affirmations perfectly tailored to your ideal life.

Go through your list every day and pick one that resonates the most. Then speak that affirmation out loud or in your head throughout the rest of your morning routine while you get ready. Ideally, you look in the mirror while doing this – a truly powerful manifesting tool.

Another way to use affirmations is to record yourself speaking your favorite affirmations and play them to start the day. You can also categorize the records: (self-)love, health, money, business, appearance.

Intentions For The Day

Every morning get clear about how you want your day to look like. What would the best possible outcome of this day feel like?

Whenever your mood shifts to a lower frequency you can use this technique to remember that a better option is available.

This is especially important when we are around others. It’s sometimes difficult to stay in a good mood when we’re surrounded by people who only choose to see negativity.

It’s easier to stay in a good mood when you are already clear about what you want from this day.

(This tip goes for minor mood shifts like when we complain about something unimportant or get caught up in gossip. When you get sad and need to process something this tip doesn’t apply! Take your time to process.)

Gratitude List

The classic tip. But also one of the best manifestation tools. You hear this one so often for a reason.

When we align with the energy of gratitude something magical happens – we find more and more things to be grateful for.

It’s even more powerful when you can make yourself feel the feelings of gratitude for something that you desire but isn’t here yet – it will surely come when you keep on creating these feelings.

This tip is used so often because it’s relatively easy to access good-feeling thoughts that way.

When we manifest it’s all about how we feel in our everyday life. We all can find five minutes to be grateful for what we have in our lives (physical and non-physical things).

Doing this in the morning helps you to reconnect with those powerful energies when your day hits a low.

The energies we send out are the energies we attract – that’s why we manifest more experiences that make us feel the same way as the things that are on our list.

Visualize Your Ideal Day

An advanced version of getting clear about your intentions of the day is to visualize it. Visualize everything you want to happen during your day.

Get very detailed so that you can better connect with the feelings around it. The more emotions you can bring to the scene the more likely you are to attract a positive outcome. Know that this version of the day exists.

Being clear about your ideal outcome lets you make decisions based on what is most aligned with your version of the day – your life naturally shifts in your direction.

Connect With Your Dream Life

It’s not just important to connect with your daily intentions but also to have your dream life in the back of your mind. The bigger vision of your life determines the smaller daily decisions we talked about earlier. Knowing exactly how you desire to live your life makes it way easier to manifest it. You have clear attributes you can work on every day.

Having that in mind you feel more like taking aligned risks and saying yes to opportunities you would’ve declined back in the days when you were way too absorbed in your comfort zone.

Listen To Upbeat Music

What better way to lift your mood than listening to your favorite songs? Right, dancing to it!

Create a playlist with upbeat songs and then dance your tiredness away.

Here you can find some inspiration: happy playlist to cheer you up

In case you can’t stand loud, happy music in the morning you could also create a playlist with songs that calm your mind. Easy-to-listen-to-songs that gently wake you up.

Crystals

Go with your intuition and choose the crystals that fit the day you desire to have. Crystals are the perfect amplifier of our intentions. There’s a crystal for every dream you desire to manifest.

In addition, you can also track at the end of the day how keeping the crystal close to you made you feel, what opportunities you’ve attracted with its help, and if you had any new insights that day.

Movement

Get out of the head and into the body. If you’re struggling with morning anxiety you could try to have a little workout, stretching routine, or yoga session.

You are concentrated on the movements and hence feel more centered in your body. The mind is on pause.

Go with the movement that feels right for you in the morning. Oftentimes at the beginning of the day, the body craves a different type of movement than in the middle of the day. Tune in and go with what feels best.

If you’ve made dancing to upbeat music your new habit you can probably skip this one .

Meditation

Yeah, I know, but I can’t make a list of manifestation habits and don’t mention the power of manifestation!

It’s clearly the most important habit to bring us back into the present moment – where all the magic of life happens.

We only attract and create our reality in the present moment. The future doesn’t exist. Whatever you desire from life you can only create now.

To make space for your wishes to manifest, a beautiful trick is to gently move our endless thoughts aside and let the Universe do its thing.

There’re things we can’t control. With the habits above, you’ve made very clear what you want.

The Universe is informed but also needs its wiggle room to adjust all the things your thoughts hold on too tightly (trying to control outcomes, having things exactly your way, NOW).

Universal Intelligence can only work through you if you allow it. As long as you keep on having thoughts like: “I better do this on my own.”, “What if…”, or “Why isn’t it here yet, I must’ve done something wrong.” – the Universe responds giving you exactly that. You end up feeling like you have to do it all on your own and the outcome still doesn’t feel good.

Use this technique as your daily allowance ritual. Some space for the Universe to let things unfold in the best possible way for you.

How To Make Your Goals Achievable?

Write your goals down in your planner: be very specific – don’t just write going for a walk more often, instead write how often per week, on which days, the time of the day, and for how long -> being clear on your goals makes it easier for you to execute and keep track of them
Write down why you want to implement these habits in your life/why you want to achieve this goal: helps to clarify and creates a stronger intention
Break them down into small and very easy steps – so small that you cannot find any excuse that keeps you from starting with it
Keep track of your habits: make your progress visible so that you’re motivated to keep going
Don’t give up completely because you missed out one time: just keep doing
Make your goals visible: do you want to work out in the morning? Get your fitness mat out of the corner and place your workout clothes next to your bed. Do you want to read for 10 minutes every day? Have a book on your nightstand or take your book everywhere with you. There’s always some waiting time you can use to read.

10 Habits To Start In The New Year

lisa — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 14:27:48 +0000

A new year has this special feeling of a new start. We open up to all the possibilities that lay in front of us.

It’s the time for reflecting on what went right or wrong the last year so that we can create better systems for the next.

First of all, it’s important to get clear about what it is we want to change or improve.

Are there habits you want to let go of? The best way to let them go is to replace them with habits that help you to live a life that feels meaningful to you.

In the long run, those small changes in our daily habits add up and have a huge impact on our overall wellbeing. We feel more balanced and healthy.

I recommend to look at the major areas of your life and choose one habit for each of them and slowly integrate them into your life.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself by going for all the habits at once.

Pick what makes the most difference in regards to your goals for the year. When you integrated one you can slowly start to go for the next habit.

Here you can find some inspiration for healthy habits to establish in the new year. Experiment with them, try out which ones work for you.

Read A Chapter Every Day

Having all the knowledge authors spent years of researching on in one compact book is just simply amazing. We can learn from their mistakes, their findings, their expertise just by reading a few pages every day.

The actual art is to implement the action steps of the books we’re reading. Otherwise, we will soon forget about the important messages we’ve learned.

When reading non-fiction I write down key takeaways and action steps in my notes app to have a chance to refer back to them and integrate them into my daily life.

Of course, you can use your preferred organization tool or a journal, whatever works best for you.

Establish A List Of Healthy Go-To Meals

Gone are the days where we can hide behind the excuse that it’s complicated to prepare healthy meals.

There are tons of quick recipes out there that consider your eating preferences.

Create a list with go-to quick but healthy meals you can always fall back on when you “don’t know what to eat today”. This way you don’t go for not so healthy options.

Make the ingredients of your favorite recipes essentials of your pantry. Something you always put in your shopping cart.

Improve Your Skill Set

For everything you desire to learn more about there’s information online or in books.

Get clear on which skills you want to focus on for the next year and dive deep into the topic.

Search for experts in that niche and learn from them. Ensures that you get high-quality information right away.

You can use Online learning platforms like Skillshare or find some established accounts on YouTube.

The best way to learn is from someone we resonate with. So, if you don’t feel like certain people carry the topic of your interest well, search for someone who you can better relate to.

Check In With Your Friends And Family

Let us always remember how important it is to appreciate the time we have with our family and friends.

Think of the people you want to build better relationships with in the next year.

A set time each week for a phone call or a zoom meet-up is the go-to option if you don’t have the opportunity to see them often.

You can still be there for each other even when you can’t be with them in person.

Find A Hobby Just For The Fun Of It

Oftentimes we only give our time to things we consider to be productive and have a practical purpose.

Back when we were children, we had so many hobbies that we did for the sole reason of fun. We enjoyed the activity so much that we did it every day without getting tired of it.

Try to incorporate some playtime in your current life as well. Do you enjoy drawing, crocheting, singing, dancing, jigsaw puzzles, coloring books, playing an instrument, photography, bullet journaling…?

Training your creativity is productive!

Choose at least one afternoon per month where you lose yourself in a playful activity.

Mindful Consumerism

Make it a habit to question every purchase you make.

Does it add value to your life? Is it aligned with the life you desire to create? Do you buy it with positive feelings or out of fear of missing out on a trend? Are your intentions fear-based?

This way you don’t end up with clutter and you help the environment by buying less and with more intention.

Donating and selling stuff you don’t want to have around anymore can give these items a second life and further help to reduce the huge consumerism mindset.

Go Outside/Get Enough Sunlight

Going outside, soaking in the sunlight, and being surrounded by nature calms the busy mind.

Solutions to problems we worry about for hours (or days) present themselves naturally.

Getting out of the usual environment gives the mind the needed space to expand and go from fearful thoughts to more peaceful ones.

After a walk, the head and our whole being feel at least a bit lighter.

Journaling

There are many ways to start a journal practice. You could try a gratitude journal where you write down every night three things you felt grateful for throughout the day.

Or you use it to express emotions you’ve pushed away because it was not the right time to process them. This is a powerful healing technique because piece by piece you let go of all the negativity that is stored inside of you.

You could also journal about your goals for the next year – baby steps you schedule in your daily planner to keep track of your progress. This method ensures that you constantly reflect on your goals and make adjustments.

Find An Organization Tool That Works For You

Whether it’s digitally or in a journal, find a place where you can write down all your goals, to-dos, dreams, and notes.

A bullet journal gives the freedom to create spreads that fit your needs perfectly. But of course, it’s not as effortless as digital options.

Bullet journaling itself can be a creative outlet and even meditative to some.

If you love to make the process of organizing your life very personal and unique a bullet journal might be the right thing for you to try.

Digital options such as google calendar, Asana, Trello, or Notion are a guarantee for an easy flow as you can often synchronize them with all your devices.

Also, the digital options give you a lot of freedom to create templates that further help you to organize every little detail of your life.
