minimalist living

You know that feeling when you wake up in a bad mood?

The slightest things piss you off. From the alarm clock that won’t shut up. To endless phone notifications that keep hammering your ears. Heck, even the way your room looks could rub you off the wrong way.

Your day is officially starting on a bad note. And those desires you want to attract are pushed even further. 

What if I told you a major reason you feel cranky in the morning is your bedtime routine? Specifically, your mental state right before you hit the stack.

Most people are big on morning routines, and rightly so. 

But bedtime routines have a huge impact on how your desires manifest in your daily life. 

For the next few moments, I’ll break it down for you. 

And highlight various ways a solid night routine is what you need to manifest your desires.

Why Are Bedtime Routines Important For Manifestation?

One thing that doesn’t get enough credit but should, is your subconscious mind.

Very few people realize the huge role it plays in shaping lives and destinies. As I like to call it, it’s your autopilot.

It sits back, and drives most of your key decisions. Why? Because it’s always active even if you don’t realize it.

And during sleep its activity is tripled. That’s why programming your mind before diving into a dream world is an excellent way to send your desired intentions to your mind.

As you sleep, your brain waves get spiked up. They’re energized, and send out multiple signals to the universe.

Engaging in an efficient night time routine offers you the opportunity to tap into these waves. 

Of course, you might wonder “What does a good bedtime routine look like?”

Well, let’s talk about that next…

Awesome Bedtime routines to supercharge your life

Most people would notice huge changes when they apply a few things here.

I say this because adopting just one caused my life to take many positive turns. I got more eager to go about my day. I felt insanely confident about my decisions. And my desires started flowing like water from a tea cup.

In short, I’m excited to share my favorite bedtime routines with you.

Get into a high vibration.

Leading up to your bedtime, there are few things you’d like to carry out to get yourself grounded.

Remember, these are still manifestation practices. So you have to be fully present as you do them.

The beauty of it, is that it’s completely personal. People have different ways they use to feel better.

Here are just some of the few you can try:

• Listen to your favorite songs: I’m not talking rock ‘n’ roll here. Rather, your go-to music for unwinding after a stressful day.
• Make your favorite drink: Some people are coffee fans. Others would prefer a cup of tea or juice. Go with what feels right at the moment.
• Take a walk: Need to clear your head? Sometimes staying at home is a bad idea. But a casual walk on the street or your neighborhood can work wonders to your mood.

Say your affirmations

Is there any manifestation practice that doesn’t have this? I don’t think so. That’s because they’re super important.

Remember what we said about programming your subconscious mind to attract the good stuff? This is where you’ll really get to experience the magic.

Come up with your affirmations. They should be phrases that reflect your desired state in the present tense.

For example “I am confident” is way better than. “I will be confident”

So is “I am smart” or “I am relaxed” 

If you notice, each phrase assumes your reality already exists. This is crucial because your subconscious mind will perceive this as your current reality.

And will cause the universe to shape your life accordingly.

Make sure to repeat your affirmations a few minutes before going to bed.

Bonus affirmations for you:

“I have my dream job”

“I love my new partner”

“I have supportive friends”

Practice Gratitude.

Some people review their day like a report card. Worst of all, they drown themselves in the worries from that day.

Here’s a fact for you: Each day presents something to be grateful for.

Counting your blessings is a great way to feel lighter. And get yourself to be more present.

You appreciate everything. From big to small. Then you realize how much good you’ve got in your life already.

What happens? A better mood plus higher vibration.

Visualize your dream life or day.

I’ll say this. People shouldn’t go to bed without doing something that’ll move their life forward.

One thing that does this is visualizing how you’d actually want your life to look, feel, and sound like.

Of course, as you do this, it’s important to allow yourself to go through all the emotions.

You can close your eyes while doing this. Or stare into space allowing your mind to wander. The choice is yours..

A lot of top performers visualize themselves before a competition. Then they go on to win again and again

Proof that It’s a great way to set your subconscious mind to attract what you want.

Practice Scripting

Saw what we did with affirmations? Well, it’s time to write them down.

Scripting is a unique twist and combination of affirmations and journaling.

With journaling, you write down the desires you want to achieve. While scripting involves writing them like it already happened.

No future tenses. But present. Write your goals or desires like they’ve already happened.

The idea behind is to program your mind to have the right thoughts. Why? Because thoughts become things.

I know some smart people that say you don’t really have a goal until you write it.

 I’ll go on to say you don’t really want your desires achieved until you script them.

Conclusion

Going forward, dedicate 20- 40 minutes before you sleep to practice what you read.

Do that, and you’ll attract the desires you want. It will look so easy once it starts happening.

Because you’ll become a powerful manifestor.

So if you want to experience a reality you deserve, commit yourself to these practices. And then reap the rewards from the universe.

Looking for a great manifestation hack to turn your desires into reality? 

Start with less. You really don’t need more stuff. And jamming your life with unnecessary activities isn’t helpful either. 

You see, the introduction of minimalist living came as a surprise to many. At first, people felt it was ineffective. Like something straight out of a fiction novel. 

The common question across everyone’s mind at the time was, “will this work long term?”

Today, folks like me now adopt this clutter – free approach to life. We’ve found out there’s so much to gain when you focus on what matters.

But what’s even better, is how the law of attraction, and a minimalist lifestyle blend nicely together.

Like milk and water you’ll notice a major shift in your life once you combine them.

That’s why we’re about to explore how living with a lot less attracts more into your world.

Why is minimalism important in manifestation?

Your space matters a lot.

I’m willing to bet a chunk of your desires fail to materialize due to space problems.

While the law of attraction aims to get rid of junk in your mental space, minimalism takes care of the physical one.

Think of the last time you worked into a messy room. Felt a little bit comfortable right? 

Most of the stuff you’ve got are probably distractions. And in many ways, they cloud your thinking. Making it hard to stay focused or get the desires you want.

Our outside, and inside world are reflections of each other.

And when you think about it…Who enters a messy house without questioning the mental state of the owner?

How minimalism affects manifesting

There’s no denying that what we keep around us impacts our mood. That’s why vision boards are so popular.

Minimalism gives you an opportunity to zone in on what’s important. With less stuff around, you create room for things that truly matter.

Soon, you feel a sense of relief that comes from letting go. No more crowded walkways. No more extra stuff that brings zero fulfilment to you.

The beauty of minimalism is felt once your mind gets clear as a result of getting rid of unwanted stuff. And a clear mind lifts your mood – which in turn, raises your vibration.

And nothing attracts all those goodies from the universe like high vibrations.

I like to tell people “Less is more” goes beyond just a fancy mantra. It’s a way of life. And it opens up room for your desires to flow in. 

How to apply minimalism for effective manifestation

At its core, minimalism maximizes your manifestation efforts.

It’s no secret that we’d all need a little boost in our lives. Especially when it comes to attracting our deepest desires. 

That’s where your very own minimalist lifestyle shines through. But how? What’s the best way to reap the benefits from becoming a minimalist?

There are two easy steps I’ve found to bring out the minimalist inside you:

Step 1: Adopt a minimalist mindset for manifestation.

You probably know the usefulness of mindset shifts.

The bigger they are, the more rewarding they tend to be. 

Ask yourself “how would a minimalist approach my current situation?” – especially if their goal is to manifest more of what they want.

This question serves as a guide to adopting a winning minimalist lifestyle. Why? Because a true minimalist will look to remove the stuff that doesn’t matter.

You know the ones I’m referring to. That extra bag you bought for no reason. Your friend liked it so you felt like getting one. It also includes that couch, purse or anything that holds little to no meaning in your life 

In the end, your mindset boils down to finding stuff you really care about.

Step 2: Create your list.

A chaotic environment will ruin any chances of you manifesting desires.

There’s no denying this. To avoid that, it’s crucial to come up with a list of 4-5 things you really need.

With this, you’ll be able to focus on what’s truly important. This is a great opportunity for some self-reflection. I know, it sounds a little cliche.

But we could all need a little moment of soul searching on what truly matters.

Everything that makes it on your list should be something that resonates with you.

Once you start, you’ll find out that most materialistic things are irrelevant. Don’t kick yourself too hard though. Piling up things we don’t is something we all struggle with.

What’s important is that you highlight the stuff that lights you up.

Benefits of minimalism in manifesting your desires.

I don’t know about you but I want to see progress in what I do. 

And in my journey through the terrains of manifestation, getting rid of junk in my life has proven more beneficial than most.

So, I figured I share with you some benefits I’ve come to love. Over time, the impact of these benefits will compound. 

And could mean the difference between feeling stuck, and watching your desires unfold.

So are you ready?

Less stress means higher vibrations.

Getting rid of unwanted stuff feels like a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.

Finally you don’t have to worry about the ninety different pairs of shoes. Your hallway isn’t littered with piles of clothes that should have been gone yesterday.

You can finally breathe the fresh air of clarity. Your mind is relaxed. And your mood gets brighter.

These are key moments you experience once you start to declutter. Better moods means higher vibrations. Your energy levels are higher. And the universe is loving every bit of it.

If you’ve found yourself feeling depressed or moody, consider freeing up more space at home. 

There’s no way your desires can manifest when you feel cranky all the time. 

More space boosts your focus.

Distractions, hate ’em or really hate ’em – they never seem to go away.

It’s even more difficult when your home is crowded with stuff you don’t need. 

The law of attraction requires your focus. And your focus largely depends on how well you can zoom out of your surroundings. This allows you to channel your energy efficiently. 

Ever wondered why most meditation rooms are made up of so much space? Because a free environment is essential for a free mind.

When different things battle for your attention, it’s hard to focus on what matters. 

That’s why carving out enough room for your desires to circulate is crucial.

Each day I’m reminded of the importance of minimalism. Coming from a busy day at work to a well organized room is refreshing.

It fills me with so much happiness and clarity. The kind I’d love for you to experience. 

Because let’s face it, nothing gets down when your mind is all over the place.

And a great way to stay focused is to get rid of all that junk.

Conclusion.

It’s useful to look at manifestation through the lens of minimalism.

If it’s your first time on this “less is more” path, I hope the benefits speak to you. And if you’re an old timer, my goal is to help you find some encouragement.

With that said, learn to say no to what you don’t need. And yes to stuff that truly matters to you
