Welcome to chasing palm trees. On today’s episode, we explore the power of manifesting your best self, how to become the woman you wanna be, whether or not poly gel nails are really worth the hype and why staying physically active is important, even when you’re busy and on the go.
So manifestation is quite the buzzword these days. But let’s start by exploring what it actually means. Manifestation is the act of transforming your thoughts into into reality. It’s [00:01:00] essentially creating what you want in life by first picturing it in your mind, and then embodying that energy so that you can take the necessary steps and actions to make it happen.
By harnessing the power of manifesting, you can become the woman you wanna be and create a life that’s truly aligned with your desires. Let’s dive deeper into this topic to learn about how we can apply manifestation in our lives. First off, let’s talk about the power of attention. Back when I was going to Bikram yoga once a week, I heard his word quite a lot.
At the time, I couldn’t really grasp the meaning of it, but intention is the very first step. When it comes to manifesting, it’s setting a goal and focusing your energy, and then thoughts on that goal so you can achieve it. Intention is the driving force behind manifesting what you want out of life, and when you set an intention for yourself, it’s like planting a seed and allowing it to grow into something beautiful.
With dedication and care, visualizing what you want out of life can be incredibly helpful [00:02:00] in keeping you motivated and on and on the track towards success. Take some time to write down your goals and create a plan for achieving them. Set yourself up for success by creating an environment that supports your goals and ambitions.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, support your dreams, and encourage you to be the best version of yourselves. There are 365 days out of the year. That should alleviate some of that pressure to do everything in the moment. And instead, you should really, it should give you the confidence to do a little each day.
Take small steps each day to work towards becoming the woman of your dreams. Challenge yourself. Try new things, make mistakes and reflect on work, what works best for you so that you can continue to grow. And lastly, don’t be afraid to ask for help or guidance.
Let’s talk about poly gel nails. I was excited to buy my very own kit to use in the comfort of my own home. Um, I ha do have to preface this by saying that [00:03:00] I love some long feminine boss babe nails. Okay? Uh, but it can be quite inexpensive habit, and frankly, I’m not always in the mood to spend hours at the nail salon and no shade.
Two nail salons because getting a full set of acrylic nails will. Always be my go-to, but I love the idea of any beauty tool, product, et cetera, that I can use at home and can give me the results I’m looking for in a hurry. I also go ahead and say that I’m not a fan of Press On Nails at all. I find that they don’t work well for someone like me who’s constantly using their hands for household chores on work.
Um, but I think it’s really a personal preference. So back to poly gel nails. Um, poly gel is a new type of nail enhancement that is becoming increasingly popular because it gives you the look and feel of acrylic nails, but without the harsh chemicals. It’s a three step process of applying a gel, setting it with a l e d light, and then filing in shaping super easy to use at home at the fraction of the cost.
[00:04:00] So if you’re like me and you wanna stay on trend with your nails without spending a lot of time and many at the nail salon, um, give it a go. I wrote a whole blog post about this, so you can check that out on chasingpalmtrees.com. I do have to say I am enjoying the easiness of it all, and I find it kind of enjoyable to do, and I think that even though it took me a few applications to get the nails the way that I like anything that is marked for at home use, I’m a sucker for.
Lastly, I wanna talk about how important it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise. Um, I know it’s not the most, uh, appealing word, but as busy women, physical activity is essential, not just for staying healthy and fit, but also to reduce stress levels, improve your concentration, keep your energy levels up, and boost your overall physical wellbeing.
Trust me when I say this, the older you get, the more grateful you are going to be for your health. Exercise isn’t just about looking good [00:05:00] anymore, so it’s really important for you to just understand that your body’s, it’s carrying you around much like your car is taking you from place to place. Both need fuel and both need maintenance.
So choose activities that bring you joy, like walking, running, yoga, swimming, and even dancing.
I hope you enjoy today’s podcast, and yeah, I look forward to doing more with these. Stay tuned.
