In her first interview with Manifest Easy, Mckenzie tells us about how she’s proud to be living her dream life at 19 years old, and how she’s manifested her best friend coming back into her life right when she needed her!
Who or what are you most appreciative in your life?
“I am appreciative most of my ability to live. some people do not get the opportunities that I get to experience and I am so grateful that I have the chance to live my life to the best of my ability. “
What was the biggest lesson for you in your life so far? How did this lesson shape you into the incredible person that you are today?
“I definitely have had a lot of learning when it comes to friendships. I have ended friendships with a lot of people because I have finally realized not EVERYONE is going to be good for me. learning this has really gotten me to be happy and actually have the potential to be the best me I can be.”
Our individual uniqueness is a gift. Even if you think you don’t have something unique within you, you do. What’s a unique part of you that makes you, you?
“I’m the kind of person that can make something fun in everything. i actually can be a negative person but i am very passionate about always finding fun in whatever is thrown my way. we have one life to live so it’s important to have fun living.”
Let’s say, your own personal magic dragon has appeared and can transport you to anywhere, at any time period – past, present, or future. Where is the first place you would go and why? What would you do there?
“I would go to greece in this time period. I really want to travel to greece because it’s an incredible place. definitely Santorini, Greece to swim in the ocean.”
What’s something you’ve felt or feel proud of recently?
“I’m proud of myself for creating my dream life. I’m in the process of getting my life exactly where I want it and I’m proud of myself for that because it has taken a lot.”
What is your favorite way to remind yourself how worthy and loved you are?
“I love looking at pictures of me with my favorite people and that usually helps a lot.”
“What is your “happy place”?”
“Anywhere with my best friend, Mary. Like no matter what we do we always have the best time even if we’re just sitting watching TV. I can’t be sad when we’re together.”
What’s your favorite book that you’ve read or are reading?
“I don’t have a favorite book ’cause I don’t typically read unless I’m on a plane but I love Jodi Picoult.”
How do you wind down every night? Do you have a nightly ritual or routine?
“After I wash my face and get in pajamas, I usually get my dog Lily and we turn on Grey’s Anatomy for a few hours and I fall asleep.”
What’s your favorite thing that you’ve manifested into your life so far?
“My friend Mary and I have been friends for 10 years but we became distant after high school and I remember really asking for someone who isn’t crazy – there have been a lot of crazy people in my life -and next thing I knew Mary and I were hanging out again. Ever since then I really haven’t had any issues and I just always know she has my back. I truly couldn’t do life without her. She’s my best friend.”
Let’s say your friend has had a really tough day and is feeling pretty down about themselves and even their life in general. What do you tell your friend to help remind them that they can accomplish anything?
“I show them pictures. Pictures of how great life can be. Could be Pinterest pictures or pictures of us hanging out. There’s always positives so you should always think about those. “
What’s something that you love about yourself? “My smile. I know it’s clichè but I always get compliments about it and I just love it.”
What’s your favorite way to ‘self-care’ and express gratitude towards yourself and your existence? “I like to color and watch Greys Anatomy. It’s not much but it really helps me in the long run.”
What are some songs that make you feel happy and LIT? “Literally any upbeat country song. My favorite is Sounded Good Last Night by Cole Swindell but my favorite singer is Kelsea Ballerini. I would DIE to meet her lol!!”
We are constantly on social media especially at this time. It’s important to follow accounts that uplift us and make us feel good! What are some of your favorite social media accounts that inspire you and remind you how amazing and beautiful you are?
“So truthfully I don’t rely on anyone else to remind me how amazing and beautiful I am. I like to believe in myself and not rely on others. However I do follow a lot of meme accounts that I love.”
If you could be transported back to when you were seven years old, what would you tell your younger self? “I would tell myself that not everyone around you is gonna be good for you and you’ll have to learn that yourself. However when you finally figure that out, your life ends up becoming amazing and you feel powerful.”
