You Can’t Fake It Until You Make It
I have seriously been re-evaluating these common statements I've heard since childhood. Recently this one in particular was brought into my awareness as the next topic of my blog. It's funny how growing up we hear certain phrases or statements and pass it along the way to others not truly looking deeper into the meaning. I look back on when I was forced into my spiritual awakening by my guidance team. It was a crash course into the journey where I was facing many dark nights of the soul. I have explained briefly about that part in my blog The Twin Flame Journey. I was desperately seeking help from anyone that I could. Anyone who could shed some light on what I was experiencing. I remember my cousin telling me that I needed to pretend that everything was ok. She also reminded me of this phrase and said I needed to "fake it until I made it." I didn't understand what that really meant but I felt like I needed to pretend to wake up happy. How does one pretend or fake something that is so far down the emotional scale? I will say that the faking it most certainly did not help me rise above all that I was dealing with. It wasn't until I was gifted a book by my dear friend called "The Vortex" by Esther and Jerry Hicks that I understood what the real process was. See, the universe knows exactly what you are feeling emotionally deep inside. The universe knows when you are "faking" that feeling. I was reminded of this recently when my psychic/twin flame coach, who is also a family friend, posted a video on this exact subject. It also coincided with what I had been in tune with this past week at my job. Everytime my coworkers asked each other how one was doing, the response would be "oh you know another day in paradise (in a sad tone)", or "getting by", or "same sh** different day." So it's pretty clear what emotion is being projected out. You can't fake a reply to pretend to be happy when inside your emotion and vibration is anger, frustration, or sadness. You can't trick the Universe. The Universe is untrickable. The only way to help you raise your vibration is to raise your emotional awareness and signal that you are sending out. One of the most effective ways of doing that is through visualization. I have been mentioning the works of Abraham Hicks and the processes that help raise your vibration on the emotional scale. Last week I wrote about the Rampage of Appreciation and this week is how powerful visualizations are. In their book, "Ask and It Is Given", the process is known as Virtual Reality. All you need to do is spend time visualizing, imagining, and mentally seeing yourself in the scenarios that are uplifting and joyful. You also need to get very clear and detailed to make it FEEL real. Imagine that you are making a beautiful movie about your life and this is one day of filming. You get to create the characters, the scene, the extras, the weather, the wardrobe, and so on. Remember that the Universe doesn't care about what your current reality is. It only cares and responds to your emotions and what VIBRATIONS you are emanating. So if you are wanting a beautiful, loving romantic relationship, for example, your visualization can go something like this. See yourself walking along the beach hand in hand with your partner. See what you're wearing/they are wearing, feel the sand beneath your feet, the water cool as it runs over your feet, the sun on your skin and the wind that brushes ever so lightly on your face. See your partner grab you and spin you around and then embrace and kiss you. Hear them tell you they love you and see the both of you laughing and having fun. See them pull you into the water, splashing you and both of you lighting up in each others presence. As you build your ideal scenario or movie scene, you will notice that your imagination will quite literally run wild. That's when you know you are on the right path. You have started to raise your vibration and send that signal out to the Universe to match you to that joyful, happy signal. This same practice can now be applied to just about anything in your life. Attending sporting events, driving the car you have been wanting, the dream home and family, the money in your bank account, and so on. Remember the Universe does not care what your current reality is. That is why it is so important to practice this as much as you can. There is no dosage required but it most certainly would be beneficial to start your mornings with it. Then anytime your have some downtime. In no time you will start to see improvements in your emotional well being as well as the Universe granting you these desires one visualization at a time. So get creative and more importantly have FUN with it!
Now that I have explained how the Virtual Reality process works, you can see how it is completely different than "faking" how you feel. There is no faking how you feel in your visualizations of creating the movie of your desires. Those are true feelings of joy, love and bliss. I'm pretty sure whoever invented the Virtual Reality headset had understood the Laws of Attraction. That headset allows the user to be in a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear real allowing the user to feel that they are immersed in their surroundings. Why spend all that money on an object when you can do that all on your own? You have the freedom to create and immerse yourself in any surrounding, objects, and people that you want for free! This is time to take chances on believing in the Universe and that life is supposed to be fun and enriched. We are supposed to find our ways through obstacles and hurdles. We are supposed to find our happily ever afters. If you don't believe this then you have been listening to the wrong people. It's also then time for you to PIVOT. If you've seen one of my favorite shows, "Friends", then you need to hear the character Ross scream "PIVOT." Anytime you experience a dip in emotion, hear Ross scream pivot and allow yourself the time for your visualization and it even works in your meditation. We spend so much time working out to get physically and mentally in shape. We spend so much time going to school and studying to attain a degree. We spend so much time eating healthy to feel good. It's time to exercise our minds to contribute to feeling even more mentally healthy. This exercise not only enhances our health within, but it enhances our outer world. The best part about this exercise is that you don't need to obtain a membership or get dressed for the part. When the Universe starts to match your new feeling emotions in the world around you, that's your confirmation and reward for the inner "work" you have been doing. Pay attention and be proud of your accomplishments! Not only will the Universe reward you, but you can reward yourself. It's time to open our minds to the simple ways of creating our new realities. These ways may not match or follow the ways we have been taught or learned and that's ok! We are here to grow and evolve more than the generations before us. It is inevitable and remarkable. Be kind, be humble and be bold. Find new ways to break barriers and find your way back home. Trust in the Universe, trust in the plan, and most importantly trust in yourself. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust at all anyway?
