This Manifestation App Is the Busy Girl’s Secret to Success

As a wellness girlie, I’m no stranger to meditation. Over the years, I’ve read all the books, listened to all the podcasts, and tried meditation countless times, but the result has always been the same: I found it hard to focus; my brain couldn’t seem to quiet down. I decided maybe meditation just isn’t for me.

What I have found to work for me, though, is affirmations. They’re easy to remember, don’t necessarily require a quiet space, and can be said anywhere at any time. After learning how much I enjoy affirmations, I wondered, “What if I could do both?” Enter: the Superhuman app. This app brings together the best of both meditation and affirmations and after seeing all my favorite influencers and wellness girls rave about it, I decided to give it a try. Read on to learn more about the Superhuman app and my experience incorporating it into my wellness practice.

What is Superhuman?

If you’ve listened to The Everygirl Podcast, you may be familiar with Mimi Bouchard, the CEO and founder of Superhuman, which is a meditation app filled with audio recordings. Bouchard began the app after her own manifestation practices changed her life—she wanted to give others the tools to live their best lives and reach their ultimate potential too. Traditional meditation typically requires a quiet space and plenty of time to focus on your breath or repeat a mantra or affirmation. Superhuman doesn’t follow this formula, though. Instead, it offers meditations and affirmations that can be done during everyday situations like getting ready, running errands, or cooking. In other words, it mixes meditation and multitasking, meant to rewire the brain to set you up for success and positive thinking. Superhuman also promises to “compliment your busy life, rather than interrupt it.” Sounds great, right?

The app also has a variety of topics to choose from such as motivating pep talks, stress and anxiety relief, relaxation for sleep, and manifestation to step into your future self. You can also choose from meditations based on the time of day, or if you’re not in the mood for a spoken meditation, there’s frequency music you can listen to instead. TLDR; Superhuman has something for everyone.

My experience using the app

As someone who’s tried meditating before with no luck, I was skeptical that the Superhuman app would be different than anything I’ve tried before. In an effort to better manage my stress and add to my manifestation practice, I decided to give it a try instead of listening to my usual true crime podcast during walks, cooking, or my commute time in the car.

At first, I felt awkward going about my usual tasks while someone talked to me in a soothing voice about reframing my thinking, but it didn’t take long for me to get comfortable with it. I actually started to prefer listening to meditations rather than music or podcasts and began reaching for them without thinking.

After a week or two, they became a regular part of my routine. I enjoyed listening to the morning motivation meditations to start my morning in a positive headspace before I even left my house for the day. I also started looking to them for immediate relief in stressful situations or as a mood booster if I was feeling down. I also noticed an impact on my regular mood and thinking, feeling overall happier, less stressed, and more energized since I was filling my time with positive thinking. The future self or manifestation-focused audios were helpful because I could easily tap into more confident energy immediately, which genuinely made a difference in how I showed up before a big meeting or gym session.

The verdict

After a month of incorporating the Superhuman app into my everyday wellness routine, I can officially say I’m a meditation convert for a couple of reasons. First, the guided aspect of Superhuman’s meditations takes the pressure off of meditating “correctly.” In the past, focusing on my breath and trying to eliminate my thoughts would stress me out, but with Superhuman, I focused my attention on the soothing voice of the recording and the message being shared. If my thoughts drifted away from the meditation, I would simply shift my attention back to the recording and the words being said, whereas with traditional meditation I’d get frustrated that I let other thoughts creep in.

I also enjoyed the various lengths of meditations on the app. It offers everything from two-minute resets to half-hour morning meditations, both of which I’ve loved listening to. The two-minute resets or other short recordings are great if you need a quick reset in the middle of the day or after a stressful situation, and the longer recordings are perfect to listen to during hot girl walks or long drives.

As skeptical as I was originally, the meditations and affirmations have helped me reframe my thinking and improve my overall mood. I’m looking forward to continuing to include Superhuman’s meditations in other aspects of my daily routines and using them to continue manifesting my best life.

I Investigated: How Taylor Swift Stays Fit Enough to Perform For 3 Hours Straight

Life on tour is grueling (or so I’ve heard), but Taylor Swift could’ve fooled us with her seemingly effortless stamina throughout her 3-hour “The Eras Tour” show (complete with seamless outfit changes on stage, might I add). It got me wondering how she performs her way through 44 hits from her 10 studio albums without so much as breaking a sweat or popping one of the sequins off her red-and-sequined-snaked Reputation look. So naturally, I scoured the internet for every tidbit I could find about her wellness routine.

Batch CBD: My Secret to Staying Productive After 50

Sponsored Post As I navigate through my PRIME years, I find myself living the most active days of my life. My ambitions are high, and I seem to find more fulfillment in staying busy and productive than I did during my younger years. However, living the active life that I love hasn’t exactly gotten easier. There is no denying that certain activities prompt aches and pains. Keeping a high energy level throughout the day isn’t always as easy as it used to be. “I was finally sleeping through the night, my body felt fresh during the day, and my mind felt peacefully focused. BATCH CBD has been part of my daily routine ever since.” I decided a few years ago to pursue a natural way to help my mind and body feel younger while I tackle my daily tasks. One day, I stumbled across BATCH by Wisconsin Hemp Scientific through their free CBD sample program . I had friends that had used CBD before, but I was always hesitant to try it myself. But I thought the opportunity to try a free sample was an...

September Empties: Honest Thoughts on The Products Our Team Finished This Month

We’re big fans of the YouTube Beauty Community here at The Everygirl. We’re constantly talking about our favorite creators, their best looks, and buying pretty much everything they recommend. The YouTube beauty world is honestly what we have to thank for some of the biggest trends in beauty—we’d never be baking our undereyes or curling our hair with straighteners or using  men’s post-shave balm as a primer  if it weren’t for the beauty YouTubers who taught us how.  Alongside the  various techniques YouTube  has taught us, the phenomenon of the ever-so-popular “empties video” has truly taken over our subscription feeds. Every beauty YouTuber has made an empties video (if not five), and everyone who even knows just a glimpse of beauty YouTube has seen one. The concept is simple: show everyone what’s in your trash and talk about if you loved it, if you’ll buy it again, and how long it took you to use up.  So being the beauty-lovers we are at TEG HQ, we decid...
