Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now on this video, I'll be sharing with you how to act as if in order to create what you want in your life. Now in a prior video, I show and I talk about the 3 phrases that can profoundly change our life if we apply them every day. And one of those was the phrase and the understanding of acting as if we had and were the person that we prefer to be in our life. Now, the power of this phrase is knowing that when we begin to embody who we prefer to be and we begin to then train our body consciousness for that feeling for those type of thoughts, for those beliefs of that version of us, that the more we do that, the more we begin to then anchor that into a part of who we are, and the more that eventually the external reality will begin to reflect that internal change that we've made. Now, the thing with acting as if is it will make us feel incongruent in the beginning, like acting as if we are the person that we prefer prefer to be when we're clearly not getting the results of what that would be seems to be something like the common phrase, fake it till you make it. And even with that, it's not so much faking it till you make it. It's fake it till you become it. Fake it till it's who you are. And the faking is only something that we impose upon ourselves because we haven't actually absorbed into the greater part of who we are and to the reality where we are doing what we prefer to be. In a way, you can look at who you are being now and know or see that there are certain filters that you are putting around yourself. There are certain perspectives that you have that aren't actually conductive of who you prefer to be, but as you start to have this new perspective, it really loosens up those definitions of saying, you know, that doesn't feel natural. That's not who I prefer to be, or it is who I prefer to be, but it doesn't feel like that's who I am now. And when we realize that in order to create something outside of what we are experiencing right now, in order to get there, what we must do is start to think, feel, and act beyond the kind of experience that we are right now. Now what this means is that there is a direct correlation from what we are experiencing in this moment to the thoughts we have, the feelings that we have, and the actions that we're taking. These three things are feeding into what we are currently experiencing in our life now, and if we want to experience anything beyond that which those three things, we must act, feel, and think beyond what we're currently experiencing in order to then get the result. Think about it in the form of muscles. For example, if you are going to the gym or not going to the gym and you're doing the same things day in and day out, you're eating the same foods day in and day out, you're going to continue to get the same results. Day in and day out because you are just remaining the same. Now, if you were to push yourself beyond what you did yesterday, maybe you do a little bit more of this exercise, you go a little bit further on the treadmill or the StairMaster, you find that you start to then get results because you've broken down the muscle, you've allowed it to rebuild, and then you've gone beyond that prior type experience. Well, in the same way, we must go beyond the current thoughts that we have. We must start asking ourselves new questions. Much of our thinking is involved in the kind of questions we are constantly asking ourselves. Our brain is constantly thinking thoughts and asking questions, and we're coming up with the answers. One powerful thing we can do is simply ask ourselves new questions, and as we do that, we start to think differently. So instead of a bad situation happening and thinking, why me? Why is this happening? Think what is great about the situation? What can I learn from this situation? How can I benefit? When you start to ask this kind of questions, you'll find that you then get a new result and you're then thinking beyond the prior way that you would have thought. Therefore, with time, with repetition, you will then eventually get to get the kind of experience and the reflection that you want. Now let's take this in the part of feelings. The same feelings that we've had over and over again have fed into the kind of results that we've gotten. Now, in order to go beyond this, we have to use our imagination. We have to let go of a lot of the things that spike those negative emotions. So maybe you realize there's certain activities that when you do, they bring you to a certain set point and that you need to maybe let go of doing those. If there's certain people that bring out the negative in you, maybe decide you're going to see them less and less. Know that as you begin to let go of the emotions that don't prefer, You're going to make room for feeling emotions that are beyond what you already have felt. Now, to act as if and to use this as a powerful tool, I've mentioned this in a lot of videos. One of the most powerful things you can do to influence your subconscious mind is to feel the emotions of what you want to experience within the last 5 minutes of your day or the first 5 minutes of your day. Now, to feel it, all you have to do is close your eyes and visualize yourself Acting as if you are who you prefer to be, begin to bring it on the details of how people would respond to you, the different ways you can go about that. And as you do it, you will invoke more of that emotion and you will then be feeling beyond the current level that you've been by letting go of those old emotions and then invoking who you prefer to be in that emotional state of being. Now the other way is acting as if and taking it beyond the current reality and the current repetitive actions you're doing. Simply decide you must act beyond what you currently are, and that's why I say that acting that out trains your body consciousness. If you're alone in your room or even if you're at your house, you simply decide to act, see yourself, and act from that kind of body language. As you begin to do that, you will begin to feel differently. I know for me, I imagined the best version of myself and I began to simply realize my posture Well, my posture is like, how do I speak? How do I use my hands? And maybe some people argue that I use my body language too much because of the way that I, you know, use my hands, but this is natural for me, but also it's just the way I express myself. Now, in the same way, how would you act as if you are the perfect version of yourself and begin to act in that way? Maybe you see that in the perfect reality, you get up every morning and you paint first thing when you wake up. Do and act that out by actually doing it. At first it will feel like acting, but then you'll realize that it turns into action. You will transmute the acting into action. It will become a part of who you are and realize all you have to do is simply know that as you think, feel, and act beyond the current reality that you are experiencing, you will then be embodying the true part of yourself that is who you prefer to be. And as you do that more and more by simply acting as if maybe the last 5 minutes before you go to bed, imagining those feelings right when you wake up in the morning, you are training yourself for that kind of feeling and then you are starting to embody it more and more. So with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Feel free to like this video if you liked it. Subscribe if you haven't already, and as always, I will see you guys on the next vid. Peace.
