Episode Transcript

(00:01):
In this episode, I'm gonna share one of my personal favorite experiences where I use this technique. So first, what does it mean to act as if to act as if it simply means to embody the version of you who already has what you desire, not someday, not when the money hits your account, not when the dream partner shows up.
It's not about pretending that something is true, it's about choosing to become the person for whom that that reality is normal. If you're trying to manifest by saying you wanna lose 20 pounds, but you continue to sit in the same routine that has gotten you into your current state, sitting on the couch every night eating chips and ice cream,
It's a blend of energetic alignment and practical action. So the key here is it is not about pretending or faking. It's about becoming, and here's why this concept is such a game changer. Your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between what is vividly imagined and what is real. When you act as if, when you make moves, feel the feelings embody the version of you, your brain starts rewiring.
My friends and I watched much music on the TV in preparation, back before we had any other kind of streaming device. We were dancing and singing in my living room for the week leading up to the concert. And I believe this is. The location where we concocted the brilliant idea that we would get the lead singer's autograph, that would be Gore Downey of the Tragically Hip.
Instead, we acted as if we decided what we're gonna get autographed. For me, it was a CD of the Tragically Hip Live between us. It wasn't in a plastic case, and I thought it was the perfect canvas for an autograph. So it's here the day of the concert arrived. First we had to get through our day at school, chatting excitedly at recess and lunch about our plan.
We sat in a set of comfy chairs close to the elevators, attempting to have a casual conversation between shooting. Now what glances at each other. Then we heard another ding from the elevator and our head spun around and outs stepped Gore Downey from the tragically Hip.
I. Now, let me be real with you for a sec here. Acting as if does not mean going into debt to look wealthy, people pleasing, acting from desperation or impatience. You don't wanna feel like you're pretending until it happens. You want to authentically be taking steps towards becoming this person. So the key here is alignment,
Then do one thing today as if you're already her practice daily embodiment through micro actions and mindset shifts. That could be saying no to something that drains you booking the photo shoot even though you're still building the business. Tracking your finances like someone who loves their money.
Until next time, go become the version of you who already has it. She's already within you.
