STOP Being BUSY

Hello, beautiful beings, and welcome back. Of course, with yours truly, Elizabeth April. I am here today to give you a very important message from the universe and from me. And the message is to stop being busy. That’s a tough one. It is extremely difficult to really put into practice. 

Some of you may literally just be these busybodies that are go, go, go, all the time like me, very busy all the time. Some of you may really be enjoying life, maybe you’re retired, maybe you travel a lot, maybe you love to just sit in your backyard, and read a book or take a nap, which is fantastic, good for you! Regardless of what state you’re in, I guarantee you that you keep yourself busy. No matter if you are retired, or you’re working five jobs, I guarantee you that you keep yourself busy. Likewise, no matter if you’re 2 years old, 15 years old, 20 years old, or 60 years old, I almost guarantee you that you keep yourself busy, most of the time.

In society, we are literally taught from a very early age that we need to work hard, that we need to make it, that we need to go, go, go! Life is busy enough. There’s already so much energetic movement within life. Do we really need to keep pushing ourselves into movement? 

Do we really need to keep busy all the time?

Say, for example, you are the smaller percentage and are retired. Good for you, once again, that’s awesome. But I almost promise that you’ll be out in your backyard, sitting in a lawn chair, looking at your beautiful garden, wherever you are. I’m sure that your mind will be thinking about that dinner party that you’re hosting on the weekend, about the Christmas holidays that you’re going to, about the food that you’re cooking that night. I’m sure that you’re thinking about maybe the dream that you had last night or the friend that’s in need, or your grandchild that’s growing up. 

Regardless, if you are retired or you’re working five jobs, your mind is going all the time. Can you truly say that you’re relaxing? Or, do you have to admit the fact that you are nonstop? I’ll give you a good example. I’m a pretty aware, pretty conscious individual, and honestly, I make fairly conscious choices throughout my day. I’m really trying to put my teachings into my own life and obviously into action. When I go to make coffee in the morning, I stop, in the moment, I question myself, and I ask, “Does coffee really excite me right now or does tea excite me?” It depends, every day is different. I’ll say, “Oh, you know what? I really was looking forward to coffee. I’d really love a hot cup of coffee. Fantastic, great.” Then I make the coffee and I drink it because that’s what excited me then. 

Throughout my day, I’ll make a variety of a handful of conscious choices, which is really good because we make probably hundreds of choices a day and we’re not even aware of it, but I make a handful of conscious choices a day. Just the other day, I turned off the TV, and I was just laying in bed, and I was just kind of thinking, and I tuned in to my own body, and I said, “Hey, Elizabeth, I just wanted to say that I really love you.” This whole tingling came across my body. I had this thought, I had this realization, this moment of, “Oh, wow, was that my first conscious thought throughout the day?” It was such a stark difference between my mind just rambling literally, as you guys know, just literally rambling on throughout the day, and clearing your mind, having nothing else to think about, but just having a very clear, conscious thought. 

Then, I was really thinking about it when I had that moment of that conscious thought, and then I’m like, “Oh, wow. Is this really my first conscious thought throughout the day?” I thought about the conscious choices that I made. Okay, well, I choose coffee over tea, and I did this over that, and I chose to call my family member, and I chose to do this, and that was all conscious. I chose those things because they excited me the most in the moment. But I didn’t necessarily have any other conscious thoughts around it. I didn’t even stop to– say, for example, I chose an exciting choice, which was doing art, sketching in my sketchbook. Great, that excited me in the moment. But even as I was sketching away, my mind was drifting and on autopilot. I wasn’t really in the present moment saying, “Wow. I really love this. This is really incredible. Can’t believe I’m here.” If I really think about it, I probably have a handful, which is very few, conscious thoughts throughout the week. 

I believe science has proven that we have around 50,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day. Per day! So, how many of those are conscious? Like I said, I’m a pretty aware individual and I had one conscious thought the entire day. That’s besides making conscious choices. I’m just talking about a really clear, conscious thought. Okay, a conscious choice, I would say is a little bit different, similar, but different. How ridiculous is that? I think the main reason is that we just continue to keep ourselves busy.

Now, unfortunately, with the age of social media, what are we doing in between the time that we’re doing bigger things? What are you doing in between the time of going to the nail salon and getting your nails done, and then going back home? All of those little moments in between or even during the nail salon, even during an activity, we choose to extra distract ourselves and go into our phones, just scroll around on social media. Maybe you want to call a friend, which is cool because that’s a little bit more conscious than just mindlessly scrolling. But in every moment, we are distracting ourselves. We are extra distracting ourselves! We’re triple distracting ourselves in every moment. We’re multitasking. 

Make a Conscious Choice &  Be in the Present Moment

I know, for me, I own my own business, so I’ll be answering emails and I’ll be getting an update on the Schumann resonance, and then I’ll be chatting with a friend, texting, and I’ll be posting social media posts, and I’ll be doing a variety of things all at once. The biggest thing is to really end the distraction. I don’t know if you hear the– what is it, leaf blower in the background, that just turned on. I think that’s a pretty divine time for that to turn on, pretty divine time for that distraction to happen. 

Actually, I do a lot of videos, I don’t know if you guys watch. I do a lot of videos when I’m rollerblading, and I will stop literally– not in the middle of a busy street. I’ll stop on the sidewalk of a busy street and I’ll just literally download this incredible, amount of truth. All these cars are in the background, honking at each other, I mean it’s LA. Even though I don’t say it every time, I think that it’s a beautiful moment to have those cars in the background because it forces people to really pay attention. Here we are talking about distraction, all of these noises are going on, and it’s incredible. It’s really important.

I’m not telling you all to sit down and meditate for five hours a day, it’s not about that. It’s about making a conscious choice to just put the phone down, and to be in the present moment. Making the conscious choice to smile at the little ants on the ground, or the snow piling up on your front porch, to smile at your dog barking his head off because someone walks by. To really just pay attention to the world around you. Be cognizant, be aware of what’s happening, and how the universe being you is talking to you. 

A really good example of this is just the other day I was going for a really big bike ride. Basically, I made the choice in the moment, a conscious choice, to go for a motorcycle ride, because that’s what excited me the most in that moment, very conscious choice, very intuitive choice. I could have done a lot of things, but that’s what I decided to do. My choice of where to go was a little bit more autopilot, because I really wanted to go to this really big park for quite a while. I’m like, “Okay, great, I’ve got some extra time. This is what I’m going to do today. I’m going to go to this park.” I stopped to get lunch to-go before I went to the park. As I stop and pull my bike over, this guy comes over to me and he talks about how he broke his leg on the freeway, the summer before that on his motorcycle, and he got hit by a drunk driver. I’m like, “Oh, okay, that’s kind of weird,” that he just came over to me and told me all this, that’s cool. But it’s a good conversation, we talked about bikes. 

Then, at the same time, I got a text from my friend who’s also a psychic, and he tells me, “Hey, I just want to let you know that it’s important not to preplan things and to really listen to your intuition.” I’m like, “Hmm, okay, weird time for a text like that. But okay, cool. Yeah.” Then, my girlfriend also texts me, right when I’m getting lunch after those two things, and she’s like, “Hey, I just want to make sure that you’re not going on the freeway today. It’s just not a good day to do that, so much traffic or whatever, just stick to the side roads.” I’m like, “Okay, cool.” When I get my lunch and I go back on my bike, and once again, getting prepared to go to this big park, which is quite a distance away, about an hour, this woman walks by me, and she’s like, “Oh, you’re a female rider.” I’m like, “Yep.” She’s like, “Oh, just be careful. People are crazy out there. Make sure you stay off the freeway.” I’m like, “Oh, okay.” That’s when it clicked in, in the matter of a half an hour, I had five messages, five divine synchronistic moments, that to anyone else would feel just cool, random moments of your life. But I had five messages from the universe all saying, “Hey, be aware of the road, be aware of the freeway, be aware of riding your bike, and listen to your intuition.”

At that moment, I just wanted to go back home. I’m like, “Okay, cool. It’s not safe to be on a bike today, I’m not going to be on my bike.” And I love my bike. I would say, that’s definitely– I wouldn’t even call it an attachment because I practice nonattachment, but if I were to have an attachment, it would be to this bike, just to riding in general. For me to stop my autopilot and my attachment to say, “You know what, it’s probably not a good idea for me to ride at all today.” But at the same token, once again, I can’t say all or nothing. It’s like, “No, I mean, I made the intuitive choice to be here.” So, basically, I had a compromise with the universe. 

Clearly, the universe, being me, was giving me this reflected message, saying, “Hey, it’s probably not super safe to go on the freeway and to do a big bike ride today, so maybe you should do something different.” What I did was I went to my little meditation spot, which was literally right down the road in Beverly Hills, and it’s really beautiful. I went there instead, it was five minutes away. I didn’t run away from the situation. I didn’t get freaked out, but I listened, and the only reason why I listened was because I was outside of my autopilot, and I was really open to the messages of the universe. I was open to changing and to shifting my plans because I wasn’t attached to them. 

The more flexible you are about your path, your plans, your direction, the easier it is to listen to the universe. The more stubborn and attached you are to where you think you’re going and how you think you’re going to get there, the more limited you make your own life and the more confined you really truly become. The only way we can ever listen to the signs and the messages and the realizations of the universe, is if we stopped distracting ourselves. 

There was someone super famous, and I don’t know who it was. I don’t know if it was like Nietzsche or Freud. It was some sort of great psychologist. Maybe not an older psychologist, maybe a more recent psychologist, but there was a book that my friend was talking about, and she has kids, young kids. This book went into how– How children need to be bored. As a parent, you’re like, “What?” The last thing you want is your child to be bored, and to be nagging you and to be looking for something to do and getting into trouble, and whatever that may be. The last thing you want is your child to be bored. What do we do? We stick an iPad in front of them at the age of two, we buy them all the toys that they want, and then they want more toys, because those toys aren’t good enough. They continue to want more, because all you do is give them more to deal with their boredom. They never actually deal with that boredom. But you know what? Boredom in children or adults, you know what boredom really creates? It creates creativity. Boredom creates a space in your life to express, to change, to make conscious choices, to manifest, to imagine. 

Imagine if you were put into a windowless, doorless room. And you had nothing, you had absolutely nothing. But maybe let’s say you had a sharpie marker, and you just have blank walls, and you knew that you were going to be in there for 10 years. What are you going to do? You’re going to imagine stories. You’re going to imagine characters and images, and a fairy tale. You’re going to create something from nothing, you are going to do that. You’re not going to buy something that is already created for you, because you don’t have the means. You are going to manifest, you are going to intend, you are going to imagine, because you have that power. 

It’s like the same analogy of eating all the time. These days, especially in, well, the first-world countries, which is a lot of countries these days. We have access to unlimited amounts of food. If all you wanted to do was eat potato chips, day and night, you could literally do that, especially as an adult, no one’s stopping you. You have full control over your diet. With all of the options and varieties, you can eat anything that you want. 

It’s funny, just as a side note, I went to Colorado, but really in the middle of nowhere Colorado, for a conference that I was speaking at, not too long ago. I went on to Uber Eats because I didn’t have a car. There was really nothing that was walkable, so I went on to Uber Eats to just order some food in. There was not one restaurant, not one restaurant on UberEats. The only thing that I was able to order was Domino’s Pizza. That’s the only place that delivered. When I come into Los Angeles, I go onto Uber Eats and it’s like, “What do you want? Do you want Thai? Do you want Chinese? Do you want Indian?” Literally down to the niche of like, “Do you want vegan Indian food? Oh, we have that.” It’s incredible. It’s incredible the amount of choices. Then, you get overwhelmed with all the choices and nothing’s ever good enough.

Extremely similar to having Netflix. Before, I don’t know about you guys, but when I was a kid, it was like, whatever kind of VHS we had was what we were watching. And that was it. I mean, that’s the only– they didn’t even have movies on TV. It was just whatever’s on VHS, so you would watch the same movie over and over again. These days, we have an unlimited amount of choice in every single moment. Which, on one hand, can be so overstimulating that we don’t make a choice at all. On the other hand, it can be so overstimulating, that we make a choice and then we’re not happy with the choice, because we know that there are other choices to make.

We are literally being forced to make a choice with confidence. Just to stick with it, because the more we’re like, oh, I could use a pink pen, or a green pen, or a purple pen or an orange pen. I’m going to use the orange, but that’s not good enough. I’m going to use the purple, but I’m still not happy, I’m going to go back to blue. Still not happy. The problem is that we are not in the present moment enough, and we are distracting ourselves with all of the overstimulation and all of the options in our reality, which is incredible, and what a feat in society that we are here. It really creates a lot of anxiety, a lot of unrest, and a lot of depression, because we’re unable to be happy with just where we are and what we have. That’s a bit of a problem!

Having so much choice, having so many options, creates a disconnect from self, because all of the choices of food, all of the choices of TV, all of the choices of social media scrolling, all of the choices of shopping, all of the choices of driving and directions, or whatever it may be, all of the choices of all of the things, is all external to us. None of that shit matters. You’re not going to be taking any of it with you into the afterlife. None of those things, none of those choices, make any profound difference in your life whatsoever. That’s why no matter what movie you decide to watch that night, it’s going to be unsatisfying, it’s going to be deeply unsatisfying. The reason why is because it doesn’t make an impact on our soul.

We continue to feed the material world. We continue to feel like we need to feed the physical reality, our physical bodies, in all of the ways. We continue to grow deeply restless, deeply depressed, because we’re ultimately not feeding the primary aspect of self, which is the soul. Ultimately, that is the thing that we need to be loving and feeding and concentrating on, and nourishing. That’s a huge word, nourishing. We need to nourish the soul. Right now, at this time, that’s the last thing that we’re doing. We are not nourishing the soul at all. We are distracting ourselves from the thing that we really truly need. Which is, energy, vibration, compassion, emotion, love. We distract ourselves from feeling the lack of fulfillment within our soul, which is ironic. We distract ourselves with the physical world, so that we don’t have to feel the feelings of not having enough in the nonphysical. All we need to do is take that same time and energy that we’re putting into the physical distraction and just put it into our nonphysical connection, your soul. 

I promise you, if you spent five hours a day in distraction, so it’s like five hours of your mind being on to something else, five hours of you scrolling through social media or sitting at your desk and just staring off into space– technically, we probably spend 23.5 hours distracting ourselves in our day. But if you were to just spend five hours a day distracting yourself, and then I promise you, if you were to spend five minutes giving back to your soul, sitting in a bathtub, connecting with who you really are, allowing yourself to step outside of your body, outside of your reality and looking at the bigger picture and loving every aspect of the bigger picture. If you took five minutes a day to feel the shitty emotions of feeling not good enough, of feeling lack, of feeling depressed. If you actually just stopped distracting yourself, one minute of anti-distraction equates to one hour, if not more– that’s not really a proven math there. But it’s like quadrupling 10 times the amount of satisfaction and fulfillment that you’re going to get in just one moment of conscious awareness and conscious connection to the soul.

That conscious connection doesn’t all have to be all bliss and rainbows and butterflies. Absolutely not! It’s just a real moment, a real fucking moment of connection. We don’t have that enough. Therefore, we are constantly looking for validation, connection, excitement, fulfillment in all of the other ways. No matter how much shit you have, no matter what you eat, no matter how much love you get from others, you’re always going to feel a lack if you don’t start connecting to your soul. Because that ultimately is who you are. The transitions that you make, and the challenges that you go through at a vibrational quantum soul level, that’s what’s going to stick with you. A big part of that is your emotions. Your emotions aren’t physical. They can’t be solved by physical things. Your emotions aren’t tangible. They’re vibrational, and the more you work on your emotions, work with your emotions, all of the emotions, the easier it becomes to be satisfied and fulfilled with nothing at all, except for yourself. 

With that being said, I really hope that this message comes across to you. I really hope this message resonates with you. I want you all to take that moment, that one moment, just start with that, one conscious moment throughout your day, to just be with yourself, to just love yourself, to just feel what you’re feeling. 

Have a beautiful rest of your day! Have a beautiful rest of your week!

3D – 5D Choices Epic Download

Hello, again, beautiful beings of light. Today, I wanted to talk about the choices that we have in front of us. I wanted to entitle this blog, or this episode, ‘As you play the game until you can’t,’ which I find is really funny because playing the game, as I’ve talked about many times before, has everything to do with being third dimensional, and being okay with being third dimensional, and essentially conquering this 3D plane, because you know how to play the game. If all you want to do is be 5D, then you will have resistance to doing everything here. That resistance, that vibration to doing things like eating, or sleeping, or socializing, or making money. All of those aspects are just aspects of this reality, this paradigm. If you hold resentment and resistance to those aspects, then you are vibrating that energy out into your 3D reality. Ultimately, you’re making it hard on yourself. Everything will be much more difficult if all you’re doing is resisting. 

As I’ve talked about before, it’s important to actually transmute that resistance into the 3D by playing the game, by becoming consciously aware of what you’re doing, and how you’re doing it, what choices you’re making, and how you’re responding and reacting to the outcomes. That’s going to allow you to conquer this 3D reality. The reason why you would conquer this reality by making conscious choices is that all of a sudden, you start to recognize that you are the only one in control of this reality. No one is forcing you to do anything. Nothing that happens to you, is happening to you. You are always the one creating this now moment, good, bad and ugly. The second that you take responsibility for this now moment and what you have created, you can then either, A, change the reality that you have created, or just simply relish in the reality that you’ve created, knowing that it is the best reality and most harmonious to you right now in this moment. 

As a matter of fact, being 5D is relishing in the moment that you’ve created, understanding how grateful you are for what you have created and simultaneously being able to change this current reality, given the vibration that you emit in the next moment. Living is as simple as that, but it’s actually not that simple at all. We tend to get caught up in the semantics. We tend to get caught up in the layers, and trust me, there are a lot of layers. It is as simple and as complex as you make it. I want to just take this whole concept of 3D, 5D and where you’re living and how you’re living, I want to take it a step further. I want to talk about playing the game until you can’t. This is a really funny concept. You may resonate with it, you may do this all the time. As a matter of fact, I probably assume that you do. Or, you may have never heard of this, and maybe that’s just not how you live your life. Let’s talk about it!

In every single moment, and I’m just going to let that sink in. In every single moment of your entire day, there is A and B, and an infinite number of other options. But let’s just assume that there’s option A and option B. You open the fridge in the morning and you have option A, water, option B, orange juice. You open your cupboard in the morning and you have option A, coffee or option B, tea. Obviously the world isn’t just black and white. The world isn’t just a series of yes or no questions. It is, it really is, but it’s not. For the sake of complication, let’s just assume right now, that in every moment, you have one of two options. Say, for example, your alarm goes off at 6:30 AM, you have option A, turn it off and keep sleeping, option B, turn it off and get up, A and B options in every moment.

Now, think about bigger options, bigger choices, life-changing choices. Say, for example, option A, you stay with your husband, option B, you leave him. Option A, you move from your house and sell your home and buy another one. Option B, you stay where you are. And so on and so on and so on. Do you want to know a little hack that I have for this system? This binary world? I don’t know if it’s a hack, or if it’s just a scapegoat. That’s completely up to you to decide. I just realized that I do this all the time. Once again, I don’t know if this is the best way to live, or if this is just my human. Listen, respond, take it with a grain of salt, let me know how you feel about it with a comment. 

I think this is a human thing. What I tend to do is I actually play both sides. I play the game of option A and option B. When it comes to smaller choices, option A, coffee, option B, tea. In order to play both of those choices in a very simple way– there’s not a lot of variables, there are not a lot of pathways, there’s not a lot of choices being made to lead to the end goal of coffee or tea. Say, for example, instead of waking up in the morning and just unconsciously autopilot turning on the coffee machine, I would instead give myself half an hour. In that half an hour, I leave it open to the universe, which is just me. I say, “Well, what’s going to be better for me today?” Then, maybe I’m craving caffeine, maybe I’m leaning towards green tea, or whatever it may be. But just allowing yourself that space to make that decision. That’s easy. Once again, not a lot of lead-up, not a lot of variables, you’re just giving yourself space and time to think about it.

However, when you make a bigger decision, such as a relationship decision. Are you going to stay with your partner, your husband or wife, your boyfriend or girlfriend, or, are you going to leave and start a new journey? You can actually sit on the fence and ride both of those parallel realities until you simply can’t anymore. It’s called playing the game until you can’t anymore. Playing the game of both options, both sides. You could write a list of pros and cons for both. You could ask for signs and messages from the universe for both sides. You can be consciously aware of both sides and ask yourself, “Wow, if I wasn’t with my partner anymore, what would a day in my life look like?” Let’s just do that day now. Or, “If I do stay with my partner and I want to create or recreate a new relationship, what kind of effort would I have to put in to create that? What kind of change do I have to make in order to clear space for that?” 

It’s not just sitting back and passively allowing the universe to show you what side is going to be better. It is actually as a matter of fact, taking solid action on both sides. Yeah, it’s a lot, especially with these big decisions. You’re playing two parallel worlds at the same time. If you live a crazy busy life, maybe that’s not the best option for you. If you’re freaking indecisive, like I am, and you’re like, “Hmm. I’ll just wait. I’ll just let the universe decide.”

Another good example of this would be a job. God, talk about big changes. I also want to mention that in my own life making these changes in the past month, I’ve been really split. Well, I think I’ve really been splitting the past year or two, but especially it’s all come to a head in the past month. When I was really vulnerable and put out this big decision that I’ve been making in my own life on social media, all I got back was so many of you, so many people, all telling me that they’re also in the middle of making a big decision. Another big decision that a lot of people are in right now is their job, Option A, do I go back to my job? Option B, do I change my job or start even my own business, my own career as an entrepreneur? There’s so many options in front of us right now. Once again, this whole podcast is about not actually choosing a side until you absolutely have to. Until you’re absolutely sure.

The reason why this is a really good strategy, a reality hacking strategy to take is because most of the time, as human beings, we tend to make obligatory impulsive decisions that do not serve us. What’s happening right now? We’re breaking down a third dimension reality. We’re breaking down the disempowerment that we’ve been playing within this entire time. No longer is it our boss making a decision for us. No longer is it our partner, or parents or our beliefs, or our attachments, it’s none of that. Now, we’re all being forced to make the choice and the decision of what do we want, what do we really want? How do we want to move forward? To make a choice out of fight or flight, or to make a choice out of fear is not going to be the best direction or decision. Take the time, play both sides.

Say, for example, the job. What you can do in that situation is say, “You know what? I don’t even know right now. I’m shifting so much every day, moment to moment. I still need to pay the bills but I don’t know what I want. I know that my current job doesn’t fully serve me, but it fills the bank account.” Say yes to that. But say yes, knowing that it is not the only thing that you’re saying yes to. Remember my podcast, a little while ago? Yes and yes, you can have it all. You really can. You fucking deserve that. As a beautiful, intelligent, pure source energy you deserve whatever it is that you want, and you still don’t get it, you still don’t realize that. You get caught up in making the highest choice for you in every single moment because you know that you fucking deserve it. Then, you get caught up in saying no to everything, and you’ve got nothing. It’s not about that. It’s about saying yes to the choices that are stepping stones, to get you to ultimately where you want to go. It’s not about being a CEO. It’s not about whether or not to work for someone else or work for yourself. It’s not about being married or not married. It’s about what the end goal is. 

Ultimately, I’ll tell you right now what my end goal is, it’s freedom. I want to have the freedom to be away from the system. I want to have the freedom to make my own choices. I want to have the freedom to do whatever it is that I want to do every day and it does not mean that right now in this moment, I’m fucking off on all of the duties and obligations and emails and stuff that I don’t want to do. It doesn’t mean upheaving your entire life right now to do what you want to do, which is freedom. It means asking yourself if everything in your life is aligning you to the end outcome of freedom, and if they’re the right stepping stones to take. If you have a friend in your life right now that isn’t serving you and you’re like, “Oh, well, I don’t know, they’re fine for right now,” ask yourself why you’re keeping them in your life. 

Are you keeping them in your life because you think that one day they will change and they will align to your vibration and you honestly believe that? Then fantastic. Keep them in your life. If you’re keeping that person in your life, because you’re scared to let them go, you’re scared to be alone and not to have friends, or you feel obligation towards that person, that relationship, because you’ve been friends for 15 years, then I say absolutely not. They’re not a good stepping stone. They’re not leading you to the success of what you really want. So, stop convincing yourself that, A, you either need to make a solid decision right now. If it’s not the right decision, and you’re making wrong decisions, that’s not the truth at all. Also on top of that, the decisions that you’re currently making no longer feel obligatory, because you understand that they’re all impermanent. You understand that they’re just one step on the stepping stone of this beautiful journey that you’re on to get to your end destination. All of a sudden, every day you work is your last day. 

Now, getting back to the choice between working for someone else or working for yourself, just as an option. You do everything that you need to do to work for someone else to fill up your bank account to get some money going. That’s okay. Don’t feel bad about making that choice, but on the weekends, after your 9 to 5, it’s time to hustle for yourself. It’s time to create to-do lists and knock them off one day at a time in order to move towards your goal. Is that freedom for you? Yeah, you know what? You are going to have to sacrifice more? Yeah, you know what? You are going to have to work harder. Yeah, you know what? You are going to have to hustle for a little while. But you’re grinding it out to get yourself to freedom, because you have to play both sides, until you can’t anymore. At that point in time, when you have created a thriving business, when you’re getting clients in, when you’re landing contracts and deals, that’s when you can say no to your current job right now.

But if you go all or nothing on this, you’re trying to move into 5D, and you’re making 3D traces of the linearness of the black or the white, that’s not what 5D is. 5D is playing both sides. 5D is having both of your toes dipped in different pools of water. That’s what 5D is. 5D is never all or nothing, ever. It’s all and all. It’s yes and yes. Then, you can step into yes and yes. Wow, I can have happiness and abundance? Wow. Right now it’s like, “Wow, yes, I will work for you. Yes, I will work for myself.” But eventually, that’ll flip around. You can go from an all or nothing 3D mentality with your current job and say, “Okay, all yes, into my entrepreneurship, all yes, into my own business. Then all of a sudden, you’ve got fear, because you’re not making enough money. Then you’re lowering your vibration, and you don’t think that you can’t do it, and you’re disempowering yourself. Then, you just go back to working for someone else, because it’s easier. Do you see how that can be detrimental? Do you see how that impulsive, obligatory choice can actually lower your vibration? 

Same thing with your current partner. If you’re debating should I be with them or should I not be with them, ultimately, you need to do both. When you’re with your partner, when you’re with your husband, or your wife of 10, 15, 20 years, or maybe even just 2 months, I want you to be fully present. I want you to be fully with them. Say yes and yes. Yes to being together and yes to enjoying your own free time. You know you can have both. You know it doesn’t have to be all one or all the other. When you’re with them, fucking be with them for once! Put down your phone, turn off the TV, turn on some music, have a conversation, do some eye gazing, be with your partner. 

When you go away, and you hang out with your friends, or you go for a long motorcycle ride, even though that might not be you, or, I don’t know, in the garden or painting or whatever it is you do. If you don’t have things to do, then find them because there’s so much you can explore. There is something for everyone out there. There’s a hobby out there for you. There’s a human expression out there for you. Write in your journal, take a bath, do some stretching, take a walk, go in the woods, ground yourself. When you’re doing that, and you’re finding your freedom within the relationship, be completely centered in yourself, be completely present with yourself because you deserve it.

You need to ask yourself, “What am I not getting in my current relationship that I’m really yearning for?” and try giving that to yourself first. If you don’t feel satisfied after that, then it’s time to really seriously think about a separation within that dynamic. But I promise you that the only thing that you’re lacking right now is what you’re not fully fulfilled within yourself in your own soul. Your relationship is a mere reflection of you. Fill that void first, then you will know if the relationship is no longer working. 

Yes, you can keep telling yourself that it’s about them. Or, they’re not enough or they need to grow more but it’s not, it never is. It’s about you looking at yourself from the past, because that’s what your partner is, a mirror reflection. That’s what your job is, your old job, your 9 to 5, that’s what that is, that’s a mirror reflection of your past, your old self. Your self before fucking COVID, that’s what that is. That’s a reflection. I don’t know about you, but every single enlightened– not just enlightened star seed, old soul, self-aware soul, everyone waking up right now, says that they were a completely different person before COVID. I hope that all of you reading this feel the same way that you were different. I hope that who you are now is way better. I also hope that there is no fear in dipping your toes back into the 3D world, in socializing again with people that don’t resonate with you. Play the game. Ask yourself what you can get from that, how that’s assisting you on your journey to ultimate freedom. If that person or that thing or that opportunity is not assisting you, then it’s time to make a change. 

You can say yes and yes. You can play both parallel realities, until you simply can’t anymore. At that time, when you’re thriving in your own business, and you’re thriving and working for your boss, you can’t say yes and yes anymore. You have a limited capacity in this third-dimensional realm. Once you’re abundant in both sides, once you’ve transmuted and neutralized and worked on and forgiven and grown, and connected to and harmonized to both realities, that’s when you get to choose what is the ultimate path for you. But never say no out of a place of fear, of lack of judgment, or misunderstanding. Neutralize, transmute, love and forgive, before you make that choice. 

Thank you all so much for reading my rant. Make more conscious choices. 

Bye for now.

Break Free of Blissful Ignorance!

Hello, beautiful beings. Today, I want to go over the beginning stages of awakening. Not only will you really resonate with the information in this blog, but you are also going to be able to apply this information to probably the majority of the people, hopefully, the majority of the people in your life. The reason why it’s important to talk about these beginning stages is that if you’re not currently re-experiencing these stages, then the people, the loved ones, the individuals around you definitely will be, and in understanding what they’re going through and what you’ve gone through, you can actually help yourself to help them, just with this information. 

The other thing that’s really important about this topic is that as we continue through each phase of our awakening, we continue to repeat the beginning stages over and over again. The reason why we do this is because we get deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Maybe the first beginning phases is really questioning things, questioning things like, “Who am I really?” “Why am I here?” And then, when you go deeper into the rabbit hole, you’re like, “Okay, who’s controlling this world? Is anyone or anything controlling me?” And then, you go deeper. “Okay, so aliens exist, but why do aliens exist?” And then, you go deeper, “Okay, so who is or what is source?” “What is God” “Who’s controlling this?” “What is this world made up of?” And you go deeper and deeper and deeper. But the repeated pattern of freeing yourself from ignorance and opening up to a world of information and possibility is the recurring and repeated pattern for every phase within your own awakening. 

Once we accept the information that we resonate with in the first phase, we are comfortable enough to go even deeper. Then, beyond that, comfortable enough to go deeper than that, and so on and so forth. It’s like starting off in your teenage years, working at a fast-food place, and you’re making $6 an hour or whatever it is. Then, you’re like, “Okay, cool. I’ve done this for three years, I’m ready to make $10 an hour.” Okay, fantastic. Then, you go to a job and you start making $10 an hour. Then, you’re like, “Okay, this is great. I did this for a couple of years. Now, I’m ready to make $15 an hour,” and so on and so forth. It’s very similar to this, but with knowledge, experience, awakening, expression. 

Being Blissfully Ignorant

The first main phase of awakening is what I like to call “being blissfully ignorant.” Right now, probably 90% of the population are currently in this phase. It doesn’t matter if you’re 2 years old, 20 years old, or 70 years old, you can definitely and probably have been going through this phase, maybe not currently, but you’ve been there before. This phase is not restricted or limited to language or culture or place in the world or age or gender or really limited to anything. If you are incarnated into a body, then you will have to go through this phase. Unfortunately, the majority of human beings on this planet live their entire lifetime, they actually live many lifetimes continuing to perpetuate this phase of blissful ignorance. 

This is a phase where you convince yourself that you’re happy given the reality that is in front of you. “I’m happy. No, really don’t worry about me. Really, I’m happy.” “No, I’m really happy. Really, really, yeah! This is great. This is really great!” The saddest part about it is you’re not just projecting this state of happiness, or this feeling or vibration of happiness, you are convincing yourself that you are happy. It’s possible to really be happy, given the simplicity of this physical reality. It’s completely possible. Ultimately, I would say like 80% of people– contained, limited within the parameters of this reality, of this physical 3D material space, I would say at least 80%, if not higher, are truly deeply unsatisfied, are truly, deeply unhappy. I would say there’s a less percentage of people who are religious, take Catholicism or Christianity, for example, they are a little bit more authentically happy than the typical person, because they have something else to believe in. Deep down, this physical material world will not give you all of your happiness. 

Now, I have met some souls who are really authentically happy, given what they have. They’re more simple souls, but these simple souls are extremely beautiful, in all of the ways. Typically, these are younger souls, and there really isn’t an age to a soul, so it’s not really appropriate saying younger, young or old souls, it doesn’t really make sense, but souls who have had less experience incarnated within other lifetimes would be considered younger or less experienced souls. Therefore, they are more satisfied with the simplicity of this physical reality. 

The older souls, the more experienced souls and especially the Indigo children, the Crystalline children, these souls who are also very connected to the cosmos, very connected cosmically, those souls are very unhappy, very anxious, very restless, rebellious, very depressed and unhappy and unsatisfied with the state of their current reality, within this physical reality. Typically, those souls who are very restless and unhappy, either they surrender to their depression, and anxiety and unhappiness, and they just, in a sense, play the victim role of, “I’m unhappy and I don’t know why.” That sucks! It sucks to be unhappy and not know why.

Really, the worst type of soul on this planet or person on this planet, is the ones who actually are aware of their own unhappiness and choose to dismiss that unhappiness by just accepting all that is in their life, and not wanting anything more. It’s like you’re aware of the unhappiness, but you choose not to do anything about it. Either way, either you understand that you’re unhappy, and you choose that as an identity for yourself, or you understand that you’re unhappy, and you choose to dismiss, distract, or fill voids, instead of really understanding and surrendering to that unhappiness. Either case, it’s not a very good situation. That really creates that energy of being blissfully ignorant. 

It’s really sad because I know in my own life, when I was a kid, I was blissfully ignorant, but at the same time, really deeply questioning the state of my reality. Then, even a deeper layer, I was fully awakened. I don’t know if I could say “fully” because we’re always still growing and learning and changing. I was pretty much on the right path. This is literally a year ago. Okay, so I was pretty aligned, pretty connected. Yet, I was still convincing myself that I was happy getting married to someone that I knew wasn’t right. I was continuing to convince myself that I had everything that I wanted. So, here I am, really awake, really aware, really, really cognizant of what’s going on in my reality and other realities. Yet, I was still convincing myself that I was happy when I wasn’t. I was still in this state of blissful ignorance. So, if you think that you have all the answers, if you think that you are fully aligned and fully happy, then maybe it’s a good time to question at an even deeper level. We have to go deeper, and deeper and deeper, in order to fully understand who we are, and what serves us. 

I’ve said this before, but I have to repeat it. What you enjoy, what makes you happy, like authentically happy, in the present moment, is not what’s going to make you happy 2 minutes from that moment, 2 days from that moment, 2 years from that moment, 20 years from that moment. We can’t attach ourselves to a state of happiness. Because if we do, we’re continuing to perpetuate the state of ignorance. Does that make sense? 

Then, the other thing too is we get so caught up in, I’m unhappy. I’m unhappy, once we finally start to actually realize we’re unhappy. What makes me happy? I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going to make me happy. I don’t know who I am. Most of the time, we get so wrapped up in the outer world, that we lose our sense of self, therefore, we lose our sense of fulfillment and happiness. We don’t even know what’s going to make us happy. So, we get lost.

Ego Death 

I’ve gone through this stage many times in my life. Usually when you’re going through some sort of ego death, and essentially break down to break through, we have to go through this phase of questioning who we are, what makes us happy, what doesn’t make us happy. We are always going through this phase expecting some huge aha moment of, “Oh, that’s it. That’s who I am. That’s my ultimate happiness.” It’s not. The more ignorant we are, the more attached we are to this physical material world making us happy. “Oh, but once I have that BMW, once I have that car, I’m going to be really happy.” Okay, cool. Have fun with that, but even moreover, we continue at a deeper level, continue to convince ourselves that ideal partner, “Oh, but once I find the love of my life, then I’ll really be happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.” No, once you have that person, that unhappiness, that dissatisfaction within yourself, it’s not going to go away. The more we put our power into things that are outside of ourselves to give us that happiness, I promise you, the more disappointed you’re going to be once you have that thing, because you’re going to realize that that isn’t your true happiness.

Then, the biggest question is, “Okay, then how do we find that true happiness? How do we break free of that ignorance? How do we step into our power? How do we be really fully truly fucking satisfied in our life? How do we get there?” And honestly, it’s way more simple than you may think it is. It’s not this grand state of complete cosmic elation in every single moment. It’s not this state of having everything that you could ever possibly imagine or want to have. True, authentic happiness comes from true authentic acceptance. That word, right there, acceptance. Accepting and fully understanding the fact that you created your reality, accepting and fully understanding the fact that you put yourself here, that the car that you currently have is the car that you created based on the needs, the wants, the desires of you in the past. Understanding that the job that you currently have is a job that you created based on the needs, wants, and desires of the past. 

It’s okay to make $10 an hour and then wake up to realize that you’re worth more than that. It’s okay. But it’s not okay to convince yourself that what you currently have, is creating unhappiness within you. It is really truly only at a state, only within a moment where you fully appreciate, accept, and love what you have created based on your previous desires, where you will actually be able to start to change things. When you continue to resist what you have in the moment, you put all of your energy into this game of push and pull. That game of push and pull will literally get you nowhere, it will get you nowhere! True acceptance in every moment is true happiness in every moment. 

Accept What You Have & Appreciate Your Current State of Being

Like I mentioned before, what makes you happy right now is not what’s going to make you happy in two moments from now. So, don’t attach yourself to what you expect is going to make you happy in the future. Don’t attach yourself to what you think is going to make you happy right now in the present moment. The deeper you dive into what you really want, the more you start to realize that you don’t want or need those things at all and the more content in the best way possible, you become with your current state of being. The more you accept yourself and what you have, or what you don’t have in the present moment, the more joy and happiness you have, for everything that’s extra on top of the beautiful moments that you currently have. 

Now, it’s easy to love, accept, appreciate, and have happiness for things that are easy, abundant, good, successful in the eyes of others and society, and maybe your old self. It’s extremely difficult to find happiness, love and acceptance in things that are challenging, and things that are stressful. As I’ve said before, it is within those challenges that actually breed the most success, because you are pushing yourself to change, you are pushing yourself to conquer, you are clearing space, for new beautiful pieces of abundance to occur in the next moment, and the next moment and the next moment. Even though you’re being challenged in the moment and you don’t really see any sort of success or happiness in that moment, the appreciation of those challenges is what’s going to breed the success, moving from those challenges. 

We have to break free of this blissful ignorance and understand that convincing yourself you’re happy is really truly going to get you nowhere but accepting what you have and appreciating your current state of being in every moment, good, bad or ugly, is what’s really going to transmute you into a full amount of happiness. That acceptance will also breed and bring so much abundance moving forward. Once again, that push and pull, that illusion, that ignorance, that convincing, it’s so much energy into something that you’re struggling with in the present moment. If you just accept in the present moment, you can then, and only then, move on to the next moment. 

I just wanted to remind you, it’s time to wake up. It’s time to free yourself of ignorance and understand that you are way more powerful and you deserve way more than just the convincing of happiness. You deserve to step into that and to be fully fulfilled. So, stop convincing yourself, stop fighting with yourself. You are exactly where you need to be and everything that’s in your life, you have created for a reason. 

With that, beautiful beings, I’m going to let you go. Have a beautiful rest of your day. Have a beautiful rest of your week. Have a beautiful one! Sending you all good vibes and lots of love.

How to Hack your Life in 3 easy steps

Today, I’m going to be talking all about how to hack your reality in three steps. Now, throughout the awakening process, we all tend to begin to understand what our reality consists of, and if it’s really working for us anymore. Like I mentioned before, awakening is all about waking up and understanding the potential of life all around you. That’s really what hacking your reality is really all about. It’s about waking up, utilizing your free-will, understanding the power of choice, and essentially making choices in every moment so that you can live the life that you want to live.

To begin with, we have to go into the definition of reality. We all need to be on the same page, I will let you know that all of my definitions are my own. You will not find this in the dictionary. That’s okay, because it may not or it may resonate with you. Take everything with a grain of salt.

My definition of reality is all of our thoughts, reactions, actions, memories, and perceptions, which create the way that we interact with life. That is our reality. Our reality is the life around us, and then essentially how we perceive that life around us.

I want to give you a good example, to begin with. I love using this example, probably because I tend to stub my toe quite often. You take a table in a living room, now on its own, that table is just fundamentally the atomic compound that makes up the table in front of you. Without our reality, without perception, the truth of that table is the atomic compound. It is what it is in its atomic state. Now, when we add our perception to it, it creates our reality. My perception of my own living room table is that it’s very painful. The reason why my perception of my table at home is painful is because at least once a week, I will walk by the table, obviously ungrounded, and I will stub my toe on the table.

When I take a look at that table in particular, yes, I see the atomic makeup of the table, I see the physical form in front of me, but then I also feel the pain in my feet from all of the times that I’ve stubbed my toe. The table alone is just a table. The table with our reality includes our perception and our experiences of that table. My reality of the table is, be careful and stay grounded when you’re walking around it. That’s a little introduction into how our perception and essentially how our reality can really change and transform, but also hold us back in life. I always find and I always say that the biggest misconception within this society is the fact that people believe that their reality is the truth, when in fact, the truth is the table without the perception. Our reality is the table with our perception.

Hopefully, that makes sense to all of you.

Now, I want to define reality hacking. Now, we understand that our reality is not only just the life that we see in front of us, but it’s also our perception of that life based on our experiences and of course, the reactions to those experiences of the past.

Another way to think about reality is programming. If you really think about programming, like programming a computer, I really like to think about programming our own mind. The reason why I say that is because I really view and look at our mind as a computer. In a lot of ways, it is. It’s one of the most advanced computers that we have here on this planet.

Our computer is a database full of knowledge, experiences, actions, and reactions. Every time something happens to you in life, that is new, we have a decision to make. We actually have many decisions to make at that moment because we’ve never experienced that thing before. It’s an open outcome. That’s where a lot of fear comes from. It’s that fear of the unknown, where we’re scared to experience new things as humans because our programming has never really dealt with that thing before. It’s the fear of the unknown.

Similarly, if we are faced with making a decision that we have made before, and say we made that decision before and it was a favourable outcome, then our programming will tell us, “Hey, make that decision again, and it will be a really good outcome.”

Say, for example, every time you eat a chocolate bar- I know for myself, every time I eat a chocolate bar, which I love, my programming releases dopamine and serotonin to say, “This is a good thing, you definitely want to eat that chocolate.” Guess what? I will eat that chocolate. What happens is, when we continue to make the same decisions over and over and over again, we fire off the same neural pathways in our brain. We fire off the same electrical currents that we fire off in a computer. The more and more we fire off the same neural pathways, the more ingrained that pathway gets, and the more difficult it is to make decisions that are outside of the decisions that we’ve made in the past. We are programming ourselves based on repetitive habit patterns.

This can be a really positive thing and benefit our lives. Likewise, it can be a really negative thing and not benefit our lives. Because when I’m faced with making the decision of, “Do I want to eat that really beautiful, amazing organic salad?” or “Do I want to eat that dopamine- and serotonin-infused chocolate bar?”, what am I initially going to go for if my programming tells me that I get more joy out of the chocolate? As you can see, not all of the decisions that we make within our reality and our programming are positive ones. That’s okay. It’s okay to make decisions that aren’t benefiting us. But this is why hacking your reality is so important.

Here’s my definition of reality hacking.

My definition of reality hacking is understanding your reality, and essentially changing your reality. That’s really what hacking anything is. Our mind is a computer program, and we can hack that computer program. Why? Why would we want to hack our own mind? Why would we want to hack our own programming? Well, just like I mentioned with the table example and the chocolate bar example, every time I walk by that table, I have a fear-based response that’s going to be painful. That’s not really a great program to have in my mind. Every time I walk around any table, I get a fear-based response because I may stub my toe. Anytime I’m around chocolate, I get an attached response of, “Oh, that’s going to be really good for me,” and it may not be good for me. When we are in our reality, we are so ingrained in our own programming, that we are just on autopilot in every moment, making decisions without being consciously aware of them because it’s just the decision that you’ve made in the past. We tend to always take the easy road out.

I want to give you a next level example of when I started hacking my own reality, and how cool that was. Then, I want to just lay out these three steps in how all of you can hack your own reality and get to that same point of awareness.

When I started to really tap into reality hacking, and reprogramming my own reality, and reprogramming my own mind, and then teaching others about that, I got to this really cool point of being aware of all of the decisions in front of me, as they were moving through me. I want to explain this a little bit.

Say, for example, I would be sitting at my desk, working away, tapping away on my keyboard, and in that moment, I had this thought of, “Oh, I’m thirsty, I could go for a glass of water.” “I’m hungry, I could use a snack,” or, “Oh, I’m feeling some heavy energy, I can burn some sage.” That’s cool. It’s great to kind of be aware of what your body needs at that moment. That’s really, the awareness is half the battle. At that moment, I have these three options in front of me: food, water, sage or, I really have a fourth option, which is doing none of the above or doing something completely different altogether. There’s really an infinite amount of options in front of us, all of us at every moment.

I got to this point, in my own life, where I was so aware of each one of these realities, I would start to split my current reality into multiple different parallel realities, which means that I would be sitting at my desk, not even consciously thinking about the options in front of me. All of a sudden, I would see myself and when I say ‘See,’ it wouldn’t be another version of my physical self, it would be a version of myself, and I guess, in a non-physical way? Anyway, I would see myself with my third eye, get up, get out of my desk, walk over to the fridge, grab a glass of water, come back, and sit down. Likewise, I would see myself get up, burn some sage, smudge myself, and come back to my desk and sit down.

I started to actually tap into all of these different parallel realities and literally see the outcome of different options, and decisions that I would make within every moment of every day. This is the point that everyone could get to within their own reality hacking. Of course, it takes some attunement. Here are the three steps to hacking your reality so that you can live your most ideal and attuned life possible.

Step number one, to hacking your reality. First things first is, be aware of what your current reality consists of. Number one thing in awakening in general is just be aware of yourself. Be aware of your programming. In every single moment, there are two things that are going on. One half of your current reality is your old preprogramming. It is your autopilot response mechanism. The other half of what’s going on is this beautiful divine consciousness, where you are connected to your intuition, where you are connected to your higher self, where you are connected to your human self. In that moment, there is no preprogramming and there is just you at that moment, in the present moment, which is really beautiful. In every single moment, just be aware of what your current reality consists of.

Say, for example, you wake up every morning and you grab yourself a cup of coffee. Before you wake up, I want you to check-in with yourself and ask yourself, “What would I have done in my next step?” Ah, well, my next step of the morning routine is to wake up, brush my teeth, stretch, and grab a cup of coffee. At that moment, overview the next three steps of your life. Then I want you to ask yourself, “Is that really what I want?” That’s actually step number two of hacking your reality. Step number one is just plainly be aware of the options in front of you. Just be aware of everything, of all of the next moves, and all of the moves that you’ve never really taken, that could potentially be the next move.

Step number two, is ask yourself what you want. We just skip over this step of asking ourselves what we want, because we automatically assume in that moment, that the next move of our preprogramming is what we want because it was what we wanted in the past. Does that kind of make sense? So be aware of the options in front of you, be aware of your next moves, and then put yourself into the present moment, and really, truly ask yourself what you want in that moment. Do I really want coffee this morning or could I go for some tea instead? Do I really need to send that email to my boss right now, or should I wait and send it in a different way? Really thinking about your autopilot response mechanism and being present in the moment to ask yourself if there is another option.

The third step in hacking your reality, is making conscious choices in the present moment based on what you want. I’m just going to put this into a full spectrum view. Let’s take the table example. In this moment, I can see this table, this daunting table beside me, and so I’m aware of it. In my reality, in my space right now, there is a possibility that I could get up off of this desk, walk across the room, and stub my toe. I know that is a reality, I know that that is what consists within my reality. I know that that’s what my reality consists of.

Second step to hacking your reality is, asking yourself what you want. In this moment, I do not want to stub my toe and I want to protect my feet. That’s what I really want. I want to have everything in this day really play out as smoothly as possible. That’s what I want today. I want a pain-free day. Okay, great! Then, in this moment, make a conscious choice based on what is or isn’t serving me. In this moment, getting up and walking across the room is serving me, and being present and being aware so that I can keep my distance from the table is also serving me. Making the choice to walk two feet away from the table, rather than walking right beside the table.

Now, although I used silly examples such as coffee and the table,I want to bring it to a much more tangible, much bigger situation. Say, for example, you do step number one of hacking your reality. That is being aware of what your current reality consists of. On a bigger scale, you’re like, “Okay, I’ve got my family. I’ve got my kids. I’ve got my job. I’ve got my friends. I’ve got my hobbies. It’s great! That’s what my reality consists of.” Step number two to hacking and really essentially reprogramming your reality is asking yourself what you want, just in life in general, what do you want? You’re looking at the things you have. You’re saying, “You know what? I want a life that is more stress free. I want a life where I can take off a week and be okay with that. I want a life that’s more financially abundant,” which is great! You’re looking at your life right now, objectively, you’re asking yourself what you want. Then you have to ask yourself if there’s any difference between what your reality consists of and what you want in life. Because if you’re like, I want more freedom, I want less stress, and I want more financial abundance, who doesn’t want all three of those things?

Then you take a look at your current life and you’re like, “Oh, wow. Well, I’m always lacking in finances. I’m always feeling stressed out with work, and because of that, I’m not living as free as possible with my family.” You’re looking at what you have, you’re looking at what you want, and you realize that those two things don’t add up.

That leads us to the third and final step of hacking your reality, which is making conscious choices in the present moment. What is and what isn’t serving you? If you take a look at your job, and you understand that to be the feature of your life that is not serving you, then what are you going to do about it? Are you going to continue to hang on to the job because of your old programming, because in the past, it was better than the job before it, and it gave you what you needed? Or, are you going to choose to make a different decision and say, “You know what, I deserve more. I need more if I want to live the life that I deserve to live”? The worst thing is that all of us convince ourselves, why ask for anything more? Why be greedy? Why push ourselves? This is fine. It’s this convincing ourselves of complacency, that’s the culture we live in, a culture of complacency. And yet, we’re all pushing ourselves to have more, to be more. It creates this anxiety-ridden stress dynamic.

Just know that you deserve something more, and all you have to do is ask for it. But you have to know what you want before you ask for anything and essentially before you change your life. You have to be aware of your current reality. You have to ask yourself what you want. Then you need to take the action steps and make conscious choices in the moment to override the preprogramming. This is how you hack your reality. This is how you live the life that you’ve always wanted to live. That is not up to anyone else. It is not up to your wife. It is not up to your boss. It is not up to your kids. It’s not up to your parents. It is not up to anything or anyone else other than yourself. You are the only one in control of the life that you are living.

I want you all to just stop what you’re doing right now. I want you to take yourself three moves ahead of yourself right now. Maybe you’re driving home from work. Maybe you’re at work. Maybe you’re at home. Maybe it’s the weekend. But stop what you’re doing right now and ask yourself, “What will you be doing three moves from now?” Then, I want you to ask yourself if that really serves you. It’s time for all of us to take our power back to reprogram our own reality and to truly start living the life that we deserve to live.

Keep up the high vibes and keep hacking your reality!
