When I first heard that our time here in this physical space was just an illusion, I didn’t know what to think…

I said to myself “Is that a good or bad thing?”

I mean, it’s not entirely difficult to believe, sometimes it doesn’t feel real.

But what if this theory wasn’t far from the truth? What if this reality we call life was more like a game, one where the rules are hidden, but the rewards are limitless once you figure them out?

Like most, I had my realisation about life when I read the book The Secret which taught us all that we have more control over our lives than what we might have thought.

Because I promise you I had a very different outlook before this knowledge. I often felt like I was on autopilot, going through the motions of life. I didn’t realise that I was a player in a game with infinite possibilities until I started teaching myself more about personal development and consciously shifting my mindset.

In this article, we’ll explore not only this concept as a metaphor but also as a framework for understanding the world as a game, how to play, and most importantly, how you can win!

Do you ever wonder why the moment you decide you like a certain car, you suddenly start seeing that car everywhere you go? It’s like when I wanted a Tesla, I would see them everywhere, then the moment I decided I no longer wanted that car, I wouldn’t see half as many as I did when I wanted one.

Or when you create a new goal, you start stumbling across opportunities, people, and ideas that align perfectly with it?

This is not a coincidence, it’s your brain’s algorithm, otherwise known as your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) filtering the world around you.

You’re welcome. For the longest time, I never knew the correct term for it either, but I knew it meant something.

And in this article, you will learn how to use your RAS to change your approach to manifestation.

When I first started my manifestation journey, I remember thinking I was doing everything right., writing down my goals, making vision boards, and stating positive affirmations every morning.

But after a while, I realised something wasn’t clicking. I was still wanting the life of my dreams, but it wasn’t happening no matter how hard I tried.

It was only until I heard the following quote:

"There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it" - Esther Hicks

I learned my desires weren’t ever really about ‘the thing’ they were about, the feeling.

This isn’t to say that you don’t really want your dream home. But answer me this, would you want your dream home if it made you feel bad?

It wouldn’t be a dream, right? It would be a nightmare.

So what makes your dream home a desire to live in?

In this article, I’m revealing why your feelings play the biggest part in embodiment and how to use them to align with your dreams, bringing them into reality.

For the longest time ever and well into my glow-up journey, I believed hard work equalled success.

“No pain, no gain” or “Hard work pays off.” were phrases I read in books, heard on podcasts, and within conversations with family, friends, and work colleagues.

But what if I told you that the key to receiving more was to do less. Impossible right?

“What do you mean, do less to get more?” I hear you ask. I didn’t quite get it when I first heard about this idea either, but the more I learned about it, the more it made sense.

The truth is, most people are stuck in a cycle of doing, striving, hustling, and pushing, yet they never seem to reach the level of abundance they often dream about whether it’s in money, love, career, or health.

Why? Because what they’re trying to attract on a physical level can only be attracted on a mental and vibrational one

I quickly realised that abundance flows not when I’m overexerting myself, or hustling over the next project, but when I align my energy with the version of myself I dream to be.

In this article, I’m going to share how I’ve gone from hustling every hour of the day to relaxing into the version of myself that naturally attracts success because this shift didn’t just change my mindset, it changed my life!
