manifestation rituals for modern people
<p>In this episode, I add some extra commentary on my recent article, <em>manifestation rituals for modern people</em>. Try these five rituals at your own leisure to bring whatever magic of reality exists to life.</p><p>We explore:</p><p>* Pre-rituals, rituals and post-rituals for manifestation</p><p>* A grounded, practical and relaxed take on manifestation</p><p>* How to manifest during the day in the modern day</p><p>* Balancing scepticism with hope and optimism</p><p>My favourite type of rituals for manifestation are the ones which help me live my life more than they require the unnecessary. Forget rewriting goals or affirmations like you’re in sixth grade dictation, forget meditating for three hours on a yoga mat. I want real, slightly controversial, slightly fun and juicy rituals that make me believe I’m headed somewhere quite lovely.</p><p>Sure, whether or not I am is up to my actions, a little drizzle of starry alignment (if you believe in that), and consistency where feedback of failure prevails until something nice and fluffy and deemed as ‘success’ appears. Until then, I’ll try, try some more. And even after, my efforts to explore life and its undulations of challenge and ease will continue.</p><p>This is a read-aloud of an article from <em>Virgin Notes</em> by Kimberley Wenya.

overcoming self-sabotage

overcoming self-sabotage
<p>This week, whilst down with a cold/flu, I re-listened to a familiar self help book: <em>The Big Leap</em>. My second time around with it hasn’t panned out the same as when I first listened to it in 2017. So, I thought I’d share my thoughts and commentary on why I think this is the case, and my own unsolicited advice on what I would do now to overcome self-sabotage.</p><p>Today, we explore:</p><p>* Different kinds of self-sabotaging behaviour</p><p>* Commentary on <em>The Big Leap,</em> which addresses self-sabotage</p><p>* Alternatives to the advice given in <em>The Big Leap</em></p><p>* How culture shifts influence how I perceive self help advice now</p><p>* 5 practical tips to overcome self sabotage</p><p>Listen to Virgin Notes Radio on Spotify <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/42OdWmxbiGTHULX95912tz?si=X_DU9liPQ6OwSjhAATh4Cw">here</a>.</p><p>Listen to Virgin Notes Radio on Apple Podcasts <a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/virgin-notes-radio-with-kimberley-wenya/id1344847640">here</a>.</p><p>To purchase a copy of <em>The Manifestation Diaries</em>, click <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kimberleywenya.com/the-manifestation-diaries">here</a>.</p><p>Follow me on Instagram <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/kimberleywenya/?hl=en">@kimberleywenya</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
