Hey guys, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast. We're talking about one of my favorite things to talk

about, and that is manifestation question mark. I mean, it's not really manifestation. We're talking

about how to actually have the cool, awesome life that you're craving, like to get the things you

want. And it isn't about working harder. It's honestly about changing the way you

talk to yourself. Because whether you know it or not, you have a lot of negative self-talk

that's causing you to self-sabotage. That's putting roadblocks between what you and you really want.

And there is a strategy, a real-life strategy to overcome that, to change the narrative,

and to actually achieve all the incredible things you want to achieve. And today we're interviewing

an expert Mimi Bouchard. And I heard about Mimi because she created an incredible app called

Activations. That literally is, it's like a combination of meditation

and like manifestation. I'm not a huge fan of meditation. I don't even know if I can say I'm not a

huge fan. I think I've tried it like twice in my life. I just don't love the idea of sitting still

and being quiet. There is times I've lit candles and put on relaxing

music and like um, um, um, mamma nom, um, you know, in the corner. I've tried it. Uh, guess what?

It lasts about five seconds. I feel ridiculous. And it just does not work for me. I will say that

I'm not saying, I'm not saying meditation doesn't work. I'm saying it

doesn't work for me only because like I don't do it. I don't enjoy the process. So I'm not about

to sit there quietly and do it. It just doesn't feel right. But if it feels right for you and it

works for you, awesome. I am not against it. I'm just saying everybody needs different things.

And for me, I needed an alternative to meditation. But I will say that focusing on goals and

changing the way I talked to myself did work. And I didn't have to do it through, you know,

oming and lighting candles and chanting. I did it through repeating mantras.
