Hello, gorgeous souls. Welcome back to the Beauty and Positivity Podcast. My name is Alyssa Skinner. It's been a minute since my last episode because I really just record when the inspiration is flowing. I'll read something or meditate on something or I'll have an idea and I just need to expand my perspective on it and share it with you. So thank you so much for being here. Sometimes I might skip a week, but that means the episode's gonna be good because it holds substance. So we've talked about manifestation, of course, and stepping into the identity or the version of you that is living the life you want to live, the life you're manifesting. So today I want to talk about when life is showing you the opposite of what you're trying to manifest, what that means, and why it's happening. Because I know you relate. So if you've been trying to manifest a certain amount of income or love or health and wellness, a business, whatever it is, you're trying to manifest this dream life of yours, and you feel like you're doing everything and your life still looks the same, or maybe things got worse. This is happening because you're always living in the past. Your future is actually your past. Okay, I'll break it down. Your thoughts and emotions, if you've listened to previous episodes, you understand that your thoughts and your emotions are what are creating your future experiences. So think about it as your thoughts are coding, like a computer coding. Your thoughts are coding your future life experiences. Your thoughts are telling your video game what to upload next. Your emotions, actually, more importantly, are uploading the emotions you're going to feel later in the future. So I have an episode on this. The emotion specifically is actually what's manifesting, not really your thoughts. The thoughts are just a catalyst to the emotion, right? You think about your dog passing, you feel the emotion of sadness, and then you cry. So your emotion is what is manifesting. So you can go listen to my previous episodes to go deeper on that. So when you're going through life and you're feeling like you're seeing the exact opposite of what you've been putting all your time and energy into creating this life you're trying to manifest, you're just living in the creation of your past emotions and thoughts. So, meaning what's in front of you is only a residual experience uploaded from your previous emotions, your previous thoughts and emotions. So that's why it's so important when you're upset about something, it could be anger, it could be sadness. Don't stay there too long because that is the longer you stay there, it's expanding bigger and bigger and bigger, creating a future experience of that emotion, but amplified. So that's what I mean by your emotions or creating your experience. And that's also the law of attraction. So, anyways, you're just getting through that last little bit of your past thoughts and emotions. So if you think about it like a factory, let's say your factory has been producing um this blue product. So your thoughts and emotions are producing something. Your your factory is producing a blue product, and then you listen to this podcast, or you read a book, or you meditate, and you decide you want this life instead. You're like, hmm, my factory's been producing blue products, but now I want pink products. Blue products aren't good enough for me anymore. I deserve more. I want to see what pink products look like. I want to start producing pink products. Well, your factory just got done producing all these blue products. Years and years and years of you thinking the same thoughts over and over again and emotions, right? It's it's spent 30 years producing blue um blue products. I already forgot my own example, and now you're like, Well, I want pink products now. Well, you just got done producing so much blue products. So when you're feeling like life is showing you that your manifestations are not working, just trust that that's coming. Your factor is just getting out. The conveyor belt is just pushing out all the old, all the old. The blue products are all pumping out. But soon the pink products are gonna start rolling in, right? So sometimes that's easier said than done because it's very easy for us to let outside external factors affect us. They can affect our emotions, our thoughts, our beliefs, especially our beliefs about the future. We tend to base our future off of our past experiences. That just sounds obvious when you say it, but we are creating our future based off of our past. We're just copying and pasting because it's difficult to believe you'll get something new. You're like, well, why would this factory produce pink products? It's been producing blue products for 30 years. It's difficult to wrap your brain around it's possible to change.

Like, why would my life change now? This is who I am, that's who I've always been, this is how much money I make at this job, it's how it's always been. Why would it just why would I start making 30k months? That does make sense. It's difficult to believe it. But I want you to think about who said that you had to live this life. Who said you were this type of person? You did. You are the one who decided, or at least you took it as truth from someone else's opinion, that you are this identity who lives this life, who makes this amount of money, who has these types of romantic relationships, who has these types of friends, and who lives this type of life experience. You said that. So who said that you wanted XYZ to manifest? Who said that you now want an overflow of money? Or let's say you're doing affirmations, who said I now make 30k a month? Who said that you are now going to step into this wealthy identity, this healthy identity? Who said that you're now manifesting this partner or this physique or this business? You did. Do you see what I mean here? You are speaking your life into existence. When you said, Okay, I am now manifesting 10k months, but then you open your bank account and it says there's not 10k in there. And you're like, Well, it's not working. I'm not a good manifester. You said that you were manifesting 10k months, but then you looked at your bank account and said, I am not making 10k months. You are the decider, you are choosing both. You're going back and forth, so you're not sending a coherent signal to manifest. So, of course, and do you want to, you know, throw in the physicality because we do live in a 3D world, you can absolutely acknowledge the 3D reality in front of you. But understand that this is just a result of your old identity, your old declarations. So that means you also get to say and declare that you are now bringing in 10k months. You are now open to surprises of how that will come, right? We don't have to know everything. That's not the fun part of manifestation. There would be nothing to co-create with, like no universe, no god, no source energy if you got to pick and choose everything. You just know what it is and be open to how it will come. The beauty of co-creation. You don't know everything, you don't have to control everything, right? Just decide that you're open to all the surprises and you now make 10k months, you're now this irresistible, desirable person in your romantic relationship. You are now the healthiest you've ever been. If you haven't watched the movie, by the way, called The Secret, go ahead and watch it because it's a great introductory movie on how to start practicing manifestation. Um, I don't think I've said this in a previous episode, but it's a great movie. It gives you a it gives you smaller little games to play so that you can start building up evidence for your brain to believe that yes, I actually am a creator. I do have power, I do manifest things, right? You can build that muscle. You have to build the manifestation muscle. And when you begin, just remember that giving up on your manifestations or your dream life or your desires or even believing that it's not possible is the path of least resistance. I mean, come on, it takes zero effort to just not believe in anything. It takes zero effort to not believe in the law of attraction or your own power. It really is just the laziest mindset. So you actually trying to change your life and your perspective and learn and master your power and create your reality is a strength that not everyone steps up to the plate to claim. So you just have to decide, decide and remember and practice everything you study, everything you listen to, everything you read. I encourage you to read or listen to a podcast or do both 30 minutes a day because the second you stop, life comes in quick and it just starts, you know, throwing whatever at you because you're on autopilot. You have to stay on top of it daily. That mental hygiene that I always talk about. The second I don't journal for a week or read for a week, it's like I'm no longer creating my reality. Things are just happening and doing whatever chaos that they want to do. So definitely practice your mental hygiene and your manifestation muscle because that's when things start getting fun and you get it gets easier and easier. So decide that your new identity that you're stepping into right now no longer pays attention to any evidence in front of you that contradicts that you are walking through your dream life now. So ignore evidence that contradicts your stepping into your dream life. Everything will rearrange itself. I need you to really hear that. What I'm saying is powerful. Life rearranges itself based on your thoughts, your emotions, and your decisions. Everything rearranges itself for you. You are so loved, you are the center of your universe, of your reality. God, the universe, source energy is absolutely shaping itself for you. You are the creator, you are co-creating with the bigger creator. So I've seen it. I mean, my life is an example of it. There's so many things that I've manifested that I live now, that's just my regular life, my physique, my loving relationship, my business, my self-love, my confidence, my relationships with family and friends. I mean, everything. It's just it's miraculous, truly. There's so much of it that doesn't even make sense to me. One day it just happened where I was like, wait, that's crazy. I didn't even mean to do that. It's just all the practice I had been doing for years finally added up and compounded on itself. And I got really comfortable with things not making sense to me because that's fun. I'll look at my bank account and be like, whoa, I didn't work all week. How is that amount in there? That's awesome. I don't question it. I don't try to, you know, justify it. Like, it's just fun. I'm just like, cool, magic, right? And also, repetition is your key because you do need to get your brain familiar with whatever it is that you desire. So if you want to be rich, start looking in the mirror, telling yourself, you are rich. Sometimes I say you and sometimes I say I when I'm doing mirror work. Um, I go back and forth. So you are rich. I am rich, right? I just am. I'm just rich now. It's simple. I just became rich one day. Get your brain familiar with repeating it over and over and over. Um, I teach this in my Enlightened Babe Academy, so a little sneak peek, but mirror work is powerful because it actually changes how your brain relates to you. That's just a crazy sentence to me. Your brain sees you, your reflection, your face, your body, your identity, and it starts to look at you differently and believe whatever identity you're telling it to believe. So mirror work is powerful. You can do it with anything, you know. I use money as an example all the time because it's such a desirable resource. And so I you can do it with health and love and travel and business, of course, but just repeat it over and over again in the mirror until you feel like you're going crazy. I mean, walk around your house. I do it all the time. I walk around just saying, I'm rich, I'm healthy, I'm desirable, I'm fun, adventurous, I love myself. You know, I'll just sing it or like say it, I just have fun. I do it in the car in the mirror sometimes. And start making those thoughts and those affirmations just your normal baseline belief about yourself. Because your brain is going to be like, yeah, that's just normal. Like, of course I'm wealthy. Of course I'm hot. Like, I've been hot. What do you mean? So I hope you enjoyed today's episode. Remember, you can always find Mine Light and Babe Academy in the link in my bio on my social media at GorgeousBiolyssa. That that um course is really to go deep. It's how you change your identity, all the practices you can do. I mean, all the scientific evidence, especially for your brain to actually believe that you can change anything. Um, it rewires your brain to believe anything's possible. And it kind of releases all the resistance, the resistance of change, the resistance of, you know, believing you can be and have anything you want. I put all that work into myself, the work I put in my academy. I did that, and I walked out a new identity in six months, and that's why I'm so passionate about it. I never thought I would be teaching anything. My affirmation for years was I'm not a good teacher, you know, anything I tried to explain to people. Sorry, I'm not a good teacher, sorry, I'm not a good teacher. And one day I'm like, why do I say that? That's not a good affirmation. So, anyways, me being here, just even telling you I have a course, let alone a podcast, is just like you can really create any identity you freaking want, too. Okay, so you can also speed it up. A lot of people think their manifestations are gonna take five to ten years. Mine took six months, so it works. Um, but I will see in the next episode. I will keep the creativity and inspiration flowing. I also read journal and podcast every single day. I don't do podcasts as much anymore. Um, I'm a little picky with who I listen to, but definitely reading. I read every single day. So I will always share with you everything I learn. I love you so much. I'm sending you lots of success. Bye.
