Hello and welcome back to the Beauty and Positivity podcast. My name is Alyssa Skinner, and I'm just so grateful that you are here because I never thought I would have a podcast or even have a passion in teaching this kind of stuff. So thank you for being here. In today's episode, I'm going to give you a visual of how you are creating your life. Everyone says you are the creator of your life, but here you are looking at your life in front of you, thinking, why would I create this? I couldn't possibly have created this. I want more. I deserve more. I want more joy. I want more experiences. I want to travel. I want more money. I don't want this to be my life forever. Why would I create this? This is the hardest thing to accept. That life is mirroring us, right? Whatever is in front of us, we created with our beliefs, with our thoughts, and our expectations. That's a big one. You get what you expect. The law of assumption. So assume everything's working out for you, and your life will start working out for you. Episodes over. No, I'm kidding. I am going to explain why. So the visual I'm going I'm gonna give you today, I got it from a book. I cannot remember what book. I've read so many books, to be honest. So just know I got this information through reading somewhere, sometime in my life. I want you to imagine yourself in a movie theater. You sit down, you're staring at the screen, and the movie is playing on the screen. The movie is not coming from the screen, right? Your life is not just doing a free-for-all, whatever happens, happens. There's no order, just straight chaos, and it's happening to you. The movie is not coming from the screen. There's a projector behind you projecting the movie onto the screen in front of you. Your subconscious mind is the projector. Your subconscious mind is your beliefs, your thoughts, and your expectations. It's a lot more things, but for sake of this episode. It's the exact same for our life in front of us. We are projecting our life in front of us. And I go very deep into my Enlightened Babe Academy on this topic because this is how you create your dream life, the subconscious mind. This is the key. You have to learn how to flip the switch, and it takes work, takes dedication, it takes a will to want to rewire your subconscious beliefs and make this happen. Make that your dream life happen. So I worked on this this kind of stuff for five years, six years, just through free education, like podcasts and books and documentaries, until I finally sat my ass down and committed myself to a course, invested thousands of dollars. It took me forever to finally be okay with handing over that money because I used to not be in a great place with money. So that was a big deal for me. And I finally sat down, did this course, committed to it, and I learned how to rewire my subconscious beliefs. I knew how because of all the books I've read and podcasts I listened to, but I didn't know how to do it, if that makes sense. Intellectually, I'm like, yeah, I have to change my beliefs, I have to start expecting good things, I have to decide everything's working out for me, I have to think positive, blah, blah, blah. But none of that was working. I had better day-to-day experiences, of course. I was a happier person, but I didn't know how to flip the switch. I didn't know how to tell my subconscious mind whatever you learned as a kid and you thought was true is actually false. So that's what my Light and Babe Academy is for. It gives you that opportunity to sit down, focus, commit, and do the specific practices that rewire your subc your subconscious mind and project a new reality in front of you. So I want you to think about this. Some people in the world right now are projecting a life in front of them. They're on a yacht and they're looking at turquoise waters and they have money in their bank account. They are living it up. There are people in first-class Emirates flights right now sleeping in a bed on a plane in a room by themselves, 30,000 feet in the air. That's crazy. There are people who are living their dream life by not working a single day, right? They put in work two months ago and they're just making money as they sleep. They created a new belief. They did not have to work to make money. You can give your brain any belief you want. It's crazy once you realize that and you accept that. There's people out there living a life projecting in front of them the same job, the same boss that's treating them badly, the same coworkers, going back to the same apartment with the same loud neighbor, looking at the same low number in their bank account, living for the weekend over and over and over again. I used to be that person. I used to be someone unintentionally projecting my life in front of me, bouncing job to job, living check to check, living for the weekend, no direction, just winging it, wishing for travel, wishing for a fat cushion of savings, and better health and fitness and more joy, stability, a career I loved, a skill. And I got those things once I learned how to speak to my subconscious mind. And I spoke to it like a child. And I loved it and I thanked it for getting me here to the point, you know, it kept me alive, but I finally learned how to tell it the beliefs you've been believing, the light, the way you've been living your life, does not have to be the case. Oops, sorry, my dog's barking. Hopefully you can't hear that. You probably can. At some point down the line in your lifetime, you saw and you heard things about the world and about life, and you accepted it as truth because you didn't know any better. If I were to ask you, why are these people living such different lives? The examples I just gave you, why do you think everyone has complete polar opposites of the life experience? Some just out of this world, joy, adventure, and the others just in a dark, gloomy day, right? The mundane. Most people would answer, well, they have different lives because that person got lucky or that person was born into it, and that person wasn't. That person didn't get lucky with their career, that person, whatever. So we come up with a hundred reasons why, right? This is triggering because it feels like blame at first. It sounds like we're blaming people for their unfortunate living situations, but the truth is it's not even their fault. It was beliefs and expectations that were given to them by someone else. And that that someone else, it's not their fault either, because they were given their beliefs and expectations about the world by someone before them. And so this is how these generational things continue. This is even why the rich kid continues the wealth through his generation. The generation before him told him what to expect, the generation before him told him he was rich and deserved wealth, right? It goes for both. So the rich kid was given his expectations of the world, and he was taught that he deserves whatever he wants in life because his rich dad taught him that. He was worthy of being on a yacht and having fun every day and looking at his bank account, or should I say, never having to look at his bank account. And so, therefore, that's what the rich kid expects. He reflects his beliefs and expectations of the world in front of him. His expectations and beliefs in his brain are being projected on the life in front of him. I don't care if he's a terrible person. I don't care if the universe doesn't care. Okay, the universe does not care. It always says yes to what you believe, what you expect, and what you assume will be true. Money flows to evil people just as easily as it flows to good people. You just don't believe that you get that same flow. We all have access to the flow. So back to the subconscious mind. I teach this in my Enlightened Babe Academy in depth because you have to sit down and rewire your brain. This, the goal today, is to get you to become aware. Become aware that your subconscious mind is everything you absorbed around adults or from adults from ages zero to seven. When you were a baby, all the way up until seven years old, you were only a subconscious mind. You did not have a conscious mind yet. That means your conscious mind is your logic, it's your awareness, it's your ability to critical think. You don't have that until seven. That's when it develops. So that means up until that conscious develops at seven years old, you're just a walking subconscious mind. And the subconscious mind is a sponge, takes everything in as fact. Whatever you tell it, it says you're the boss. Yes, ma'am. I was raised in a family that had money, regular money, middle class life. It was great. We traveled, we had fun, went to the desert, went to Hawaii, I wore Tiffany's jewelry in the sixth grade. Like my parents took care of me. My family would take me to Disneyland, me and my sister would get our own hotel room just because it's fun. And we lived in a regular middle-class house. My parents both worked full-time jobs, we played sports, we did our absolute best. Naturally, as an adult, now that's a great life. Don't get me wrong, that's a wonderful life. Very, very fortunate. But my point is because I grew up as an adult and I believed that was all I was worthy of. So when I was searching to buy a home, I didn't search million dollar homes, two million dollar homes. No, I didn't even put that in my Zillow. Are you kidding? I put a filter on there because I thought I could only have a certain type of house based on what I grew up in. And I believed I had to work full-time, because that's what you do. That's life. You work full-time, you take vacation once a year, you know, my expectations and my beliefs were what I saw in front of me growing up. That's the expectations I was given of what I could expect out of life. Until one day I thought to myself, wait, why am I limiting myself to this regular, fortunate life when what I really want is this huge mansion. I want to live on the beach, I want to work whenever I feel like it. I want money to come in while I sleep. I want this, I want that. Like, what are my true dreams, right? Not just the expectations that I was given. Not just the regular thing that I thought I could have. And so I realized, okay, if I had unlimited money, would I still be putting this filter on Zillow? Absolutely not. None of us would, right? And so I talk about this in my Enlightened Babe Academy. You are shutting the door all by yourself. Life did not deal you cards and say, sorry, this door shut because of where you were born or who you are or the family you were born into. Sorry about it. Absolutely not. You shut that door by yourself because you said that's not possible for me. That's crazy. I grew up thinking only other people live in those mansions. Only other people get to do that. That happens for other people, not me. And these are expectations so many people believe. Only other people have those things. I'm just regular. I'm not lucky. There is a kid right now growing up in that beach mansion, that fat house, thinking this is a completely normal day. We are responsible for reprogramming our brains. We are responsible for changing our beliefs if we don't want to believe something anymore. We are responsible for changing our expectations out of life. Life moves with you. Life forms to you. Look into the law of assumption in your free time. Just Google it. Just say, Google, tell me about the law of assumption. What you assume you receive. You should have seen the house that I live in when my husband and I first bought it. It was all we were, all we thought we were capable of buying at the time. We believed it was all that we were worthy of, and it needed so much fixing up. And then I started healing my beliefs, and I started rewiring my brain in this house. I love this house because this house healed me. This house is so special. But I started rewiring my beliefs, and I became aware of what they were, and then I became aware of what I actually wanted. And I started to believe I deserve marble countertops because the house didn't have that when we bought it. I deserve a$5,000 plush fluffy couch. I know you girls have seen that couch. It is bougie. And I looked at it online for months thinking, gosh, I wish I could buy this couch. I had the money in my savings. Why am I sitting there wishing I could have this couch? Even when I had the money, I was limiting myself. You guys, you are doing this too. You know you are limiting yourself. You can have whatever you want. I want you to hear me. You can have whatever you want. Whatever you want. You can have whatever you want. Okay. I decided I deserved the nice white flooring because when we bought the house it was dark cherry red and it was depressing. You've probably seen it in my old videos. I deserve whatever I want. I deserve an aesthetic home. I deserve a garden of tulips. I deserve a backyard that's huge and my dogs can run free. And I just decided that I can have whatever I want. So my point is, none of my life would have changed if I didn't even try to change my beliefs. If I kept the beliefs that were given to me, if I kept the expectations of life that I took in as a kid, right, my life would be the exact same. And I would be dreaming of more forever. That is no way to live life. The moment I challenged the life in front of me, and I said, that's nice. I would like more now, please. Only then did those things come to me. We are so conditioned, this is a whole other episode, but we are so conditioned to think that wanting is selfish. That you are too unworthy to want. That is crazy. Your subconscious mind is projecting in front of you what you believe you can have. Your subconscious mind is projecting in front of you what you expect to happen. What you are expecting is happening. Again, I teach this in my academy in depth, but it's important that you know you are not aware of your subconscious beliefs. That takes work. That's half of the academy right there. That's half of my courses. Figuring out what's deep in there. Because you are only conscious right now, you are not subconscious. Because you were born with beliefs of I can only have this and I can't have that. That is why you are experiencing whatever you think you can have. But you don't have to. Sorry, you're gonna hear it. You were born knowing damn well you were worthy. You came on earth knowing I can have whatever I want, and I'm gonna damn well get it. Okay? Little kids are just pure innocence and they know what they want and they'll make sure you know. Find that little kid in you and ask her what she wants. At some point in your life, you saw something or you heard something and you took it as truth because you were just a kid, and you thought it was true, and that's okay. You're not a kid anymore. You are an adult, and now you can choose your beliefs, now you can use your critical thinking skills. You do not have to take life advice from someone who is living a life you don't even want. Someone who is not living their dream life is going to tell you everything to do to get you the exact life they have. I want you to journal all the beliefs you have about yourself, all the beliefs you believe you're going to experience in life. And then once you get all of that out, once you get out, I think I'm I in the past I've felt like I was only worthy of this. And I only thought this was possible for me. It's really hard to think that this is possible for me. Get it all out on the page. And then on the next page, I want you to journal where down the life, where down the line in your life did those beliefs come from? And just close your eyes and sit there and go back in time and think about a memory. Let your subconscious mind do it. That means the first thought that pops in your head, that's your subconscious mind. Close your eyes and think, where in my life were these limiting beliefs given to me? And the first thought that comes up, think about that moment. Go back in time and think, you know, why did I believe money was limited, or why did I think my living situation was limited? When did that moment happen and when did you accept it as truth? So get all that out, and then on the next page, I want you to journal if money were completely unlimited, what would my dream life look like? What would my dream day look like? What would my dream home look like or feel like? Because not everyone is visual, and I teach that in my academy as well. I could never visualize my dream home or my dream car, or it was difficult for me to visualize the detail. So if you've ever heard anyone on social media say, if you want more money, you have to know how much money. If you want a house, you have to know what color the floors are, what color the paint is, how many rooms does it have. That put so much pressure on me because I could not think about those things. I was like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't care. It's just gonna feel a certain way, right? So if you are like me, you only have to meditate on what your dream life feels like. I knew how I would feel when I reached my goal. And some of you might know exactly what it's gonna look like and what it's gonna smell like, right? So do what works with you. There is no right way to manifest, only your way. And as you figure out what your dream life is, if money were completely unlimited, you're gonna write that out what your dream life is, what you would actually ask for. This is going to tell your subconscious mind that you believe you are worthy of more. This is going to tell your subconscious mind that these were never your beliefs in the first place. That's why I want you to do it in that order, because it works through it. It's not just an affirmation of I can have whatever I want. I love that affirmation and it feels so good. But in order to get to your subconscious mind, you have to work through it step by step. I believe this, this feels hard. I got this belief at this point in time by this person in this moment, and then what I actually want. I don't have to believe these beliefs anymore. I now want to believe this, I now want to experience this. So that's just my three step way of journaling. I just came up with it honestly. There's no structure here. But you are working through it in that way. At the very bottom of the page, I want you to write the affirmation. I am aligning with my highest timeline now. And so it is. It is done. I teach the practices, more practices, deeper practices for your subconscious mind in my academy because it can be very difficult to get to your subconscious mind, but let this be your start. Okay? This is where you start. You become aware and you work through it with your brain. You and your brain are partners forever. Your besties. So start looking at it like that because you gotta live together forever. If you want to find Mind Light Babe Academy, it is in the link in my bio on my socials, gorgeous by Alyssa. And I think it will change your life because the information absolutely changed mine. If I had never learned those things, I wouldn't be here in a microphone right now. So I love you so much. I'm sending you so much love and most importantly, success. Bye.
