Hello and welcome back to the Beauty and Positivity Podcast. My name is Alyssa Skinner. This podcast is where I share all my mental perspective shifts, practices, and exercises that have literally helped me achieve my dream life. And now I'm helping you get yours. So today's topic is actually inspired by someone named Catherine Zankina. I absolutely loved her take on this topic. And so it's basically seeing your life as an algorithm. Whatever you are seeing in the world, whatever is unfolding in your life, is the algorithm you've created. How cool is that? I love that analogy. So if you're familiar with social media, you know that there's an algorithm. And if you watch a certain video for a certain length of time or you interact with it, it's going to show you much more of that type of content. Okay? You are literally spending your energy and time watching it, paying attention to it. And so that's being studied by the social media platform. And now you're gonna get a lot more of it. So hopefully you know where I'm going with this. Your life is the exact same. If you spend too much time and energy worried about all the bullshit going on, whoever's being disrespectful or sassy, whoever cut you off, whoever looked at you wrong, whoever has a spicy attitude, your whoever your coworkers acting like whatever, you are spending too much time and energy on that particular event. Now life is gonna hand you a whole lot more on a silver platter because the universe always says yes. When you ask, it is given. And in my case, in our case, as humans, asking is spending our time and energy and focus on it. That is asking. Believe it or not, okay, you want to be a master manifestor, you gotta start accepting this, these and this information. This is facts. And facts meaning this is what I've experienced in life. This is my take on it. So a lot of people think that their prayers and wishes and whatever you spend your time focusing on is asking for more. And it is, but not just that, it's also what you're thinking about. And because what you think makes you start feeling something, and that makes an even bigger magnetic pull in you, and life is pulling, or I guess you're mag magnetizing a lot more of that out of life into you, into your field. Maybe that wasn't a good analogy, but life is mirroring you. There we go. It is actually one of the hardest things to accept, sincerely. That is tough. We do not want to believe life is mirroring us. And even if you do accept that, sometimes it's difficult to understand why something is happening because we don't feel that we were feeling that or thinking that. So, how is it mirroring us if we were in a great mood and then someone totally is rude to us, right? It's I'm gonna make this quick because this this could be a whole nother episode, honestly, but it's also residual. So, like everything you're experiencing in life isn't just from exactly who you were being in that moment, it's from yesterday, it's from a week ago, it's from a month ago. So, your energy and focus and time, everything you pay attention to is so valuable, and that's why people say your energy is valuable. Don't waste your energy on things that don't matter or that you don't want more of. Because we're all familiar with cause and effect, right? That's science. The cause is you focusing on it, interacting with it. Someone cuts you off, you interact with them with the middle finger, and that might not, that karma might not come back tomorrow or right in that moment based on your bad mood. It could come back in your next bad mood a month from now, or in your next good mood a month from now. And then because you are in a good mood, that good karma comes another month from now. Do you see what I'm saying? It's not always immediate. So our energy, everything is constantly attracting things to us, but it's not always right away. Sometimes it takes time. So when we are experiencing the sorrows of life, we're not literally asking for that. Of course, it's awful. None of us want to experience those moments, but we can't help but focus on it because of the emotion we're feeling. So we'll we'll do a pretty lightweight one. I don't want to get heavy, but if you're getting sick, you have a stuffy nose or sore throat or an upset stomach, you're getting the flu, all you can think is, I don't feel good, I don't feel good, I feel terrible. So you're receiving more feeling terrible. The not feeling good is lasting longer, it's expanding because what you focus on expands. And if time is linear in our human brain, it's expanding down the line. More time. So it's expanding the discomfort, the stuffy nose. You're gonna have your sore throat longer, your stomach is suddenly gonna feel more upset because you're focusing on it. Now, of course, I'm not asking you to pretend you feel amazing. Of course not. We're human. Rest and do nothing. But what you should try to do, what I do, is I imagine what it feels like for that stuffy nose to be clear again. And I'm like, oh my gosh, when my nose was clear, life was so good. It was beautiful. And I just think what it would feel like if my nose magically cleared up right now, and I've actually done it. I have tested out this theory and it works. When I was going to bed one night, I did get a little stuffy nose, just like allergies, nothing crazy. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna meditate on a clear nose. And it worked. My nose cleared up. I actually thought I was a witch for a second. So it works. When you are not feeling good, imagine what it feels like to feel good and just visualize kind of being on the other side of it. Like, oh my gosh, thank God that's over. It's over. I feel good again. I'll never take it for granted. That's what you should imagine. Not lie to yourself about how you're feeling right now. A lot of people think manifestation is positivity and lying to yourself. Absolutely not. You're just putting your time and energy and thought and focus onto what it is that you do want. So the end of the sickness, right? Think about it being over. Okay, I hope you're with me. You are powerful. You absolutely vibrate a certain frequency, and that vibration is a magnet, meaning you're building your life's algorithm, whatever you're thinking and feeling. So imagine a mood ring, right? If imagine if we wore a mood ring and then we had a bright light around our body, like an orb of whatever that mood ring color was. If you're feeling down, you are glowing blue. Imagine if we could all see each other's. You're feeling angry, you're glowing red. Okay, you get where I'm going. You're feeling love, I don't know, pink. So that is kind of what you should imagine whenever you're feeling an emotion. Because whatever that emotion is, whatever that orb color is, that's what you are asking for more of in your future. It could be your near future, it could be your far future. So if you ignore the person who cut you off instead of yelling and reacting and interacting with that moment, maybe you could even pretend like things happening in your life are videos. Like you're scrolling, you're like, ew, skip that video. I don't know, maybe that's silly. But if you ignore it and you laugh it off and you go, not today, you are going to receive a lot less of that girl. Because you poured zero energy into that event. And life thought, okay, life said you're she's not that interested in that. We got no reaction out of that. Next, give her the next thing. And I believe that the universe is neutral, it's definitely not punishing you, it's just mirroring you. And you that's kind of where our power comes in. That's where we co-create. You get to think and feel and create whatever it is you want, and the universe gives it to you. You're here to manipulate energy, you're here to live and experience. So the universe is just giving you like whatever you're asking to experience. So ignore the spicy coworker. Literally just to choose to be in a good mood and choose to move on. Choose to believe that your energy is precious and you spend it wisely. I'm so serious. I know that sounds cliche. But don't let other people upset you in your life. This is your life, and you're gonna let someone else upset you in your life? Absolutely not. This is your movie and you're the main character. Do not let others control you. Don't let them control your orb, your magnetic frequency. Okay? Start treating your life like an algorithm. And the universe is studying whatever you're interested in. So make sure, just like you do on TikTok, you know how to create your algorithm, okay? We all know by now. Do the same thing in life. Let me know if you try this and if it works in the comments. I'm sending you so much love and success. Bye.
