Send us a textIn this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are talking all about manifestation.The term manifestation often gets dismissed as being too ‘woowoo’; but I like to think of it as simply ‘making shit happen.'When we decide what we want, believe that it’s possible for us, and start taking small, aligned actions, we will get there…IF we keep moving towards it and don’t quit at the first hurdle.In this conversation, Polly and I talk about things that we’ve manifested into our own lives, as well as our thoughts around what we need to do in order to bring those things to fruition.We hope you’ll find something useful in here!Love,Polly & Lucy xSupport the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

Send us a textOn today's minisode, I'm talking about my fascination with Stoicism, and a book I'm currently reading, The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman. Stoicism is a philosophy designed to make us more resilient, happier, more virtuous and more wise – and subsequently, better people. At the heart of this philosophy is the idea that we don’t control the world around us, but we do control how we respond to it.I hope you'll find something useful in here. Support the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?
