The phrase "acting as your future self" is used often in the
personal development space and is a key part of manifesting our
goals and dreams.
In manifestation "like attracts like" - so the more we show up
as that future version of our self NOW, the faster we will see that
dream show up in our reality.
Seems pretty simple, but I see a lot of misconception about
this happening. And so as we are about to close one year and enter
into a brand new year, with new goals and visions for our life, I
thought it would be a great time to dive deeper into this.
First of all - when we say "like attracts like" - how this
REALLY works with manifestation is your beliefs and self
image (how you see yourself) attract situations with the same
beliefs and vibration of that self image.
It's less about what you are DOING - and more about
who you are BEING.
What are your beliefs?
What are your attitudes toward things?
What do you assume to be true?
What are you emotions/thoughts/feelings about something?
How do you see yourself?
You can be taking all the actions "acting as if" - but if the
underlying belief systems don't match up with whatever it is you're
manifesting - it will either not come, or when it does come you
will subconsciously push it away.
This is when self sabotage starts to take place.
Someone beliefs don't match up to whatever it is they've
received (money, success, peace, love, etc) - so even if they
"want" that thing so badly - if their inner beliefs aren't aligned
they will sabotage the situation. This may look like spending all
the $ they've received, starting fights in a relationship, creating
more chaos in their life, etc.
The first step here is to dive into your BELIEFS
surrounding whatever your goal is - and then we can get into the
"acting as if" actions part of the process.
