8. Affirmation Tapes Transformed My Identity, Here’s How They Can Shift Yours Too

I was always sceptical about the concept of listening to affirmation tapes, but the truth was that I didn’t understand enough about the power of my subconscious mind.

Realising my subconscious controls 95% of my thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours like an autopilot system, running scripts I picked up from childhood, social conditioning, and past experiences was enough to learn more about gaining control over my current narrative.

If those scripts were negative and filled with self-doubt, fear, or limiting beliefs, which they were, I would remain stuck, no matter how hard I tried to change on a conscious level.

Suddenly, rewiring my mind by listening to these tapes didn’t sound like such a bad idea.

Affirmation tapes are pre-recorded statements designed to reprogram your subconscious by replacing old limiting beliefs with new aligned ones.

When you listen to them consistently, especially in states of deep relaxation (like right before bed or first thing in the morning), they start to rewire your neural pathways, helping you embody a new self-concept and eventually, a new reality.

In this article, I’m sharing the power of reprogramming your subconscious mind using affirmation tapes, the science behind it, what you should be wary of, and how to include them into your routine to see a shift in your world.

5. As Long as You NEED It, You Won't Manifest It

I would spend hours obsessing over why certain milestones weren’t happening as quickly as I wanted.

I felt like I needed that success, that validation that my work was good enough and that financial freedom to feel whole. But instead of getting closer to my goals, I kept running into the same walls—burnout with frustration and a constant feeling of going two steps forward and three steps back.

It was only until I really understood when James Redfield said…

“Where attention goes, energy flows”

— James Redfield

I knew I had to let go of trying to control outcomes and pay attention to where I was focusing my energy.

In this article I’m sharing why where you place your attention has a huge impact on the reality you create.

4. When I Gave Up On Manifesting, And Did This Instead, EVERYTHING CHANGED

I’ve been obsessed with the idea of manifesting since my grandma bought me The Secret. Once I learned this concept, I created vision boards to cover my walls, notebooks filled with affirmations, and a Pinterest board dedicated to the “dream life” I was working tirelessly to call into existence.

And most things I have ever asked for have come to fruition. But something I’ve recently realised is after months of pouring my energy into ‘trying to manifest’, I felt stuck and often frustrated.

No matter how hard I tried, my dream home, the thriving career, and the love life seemed so far away.

But that was the issue, I was trying, instead of realising that manifesting was something I did naturally, I saw it as a task that I had to set aside time to focus on.

I wasn’t living in the present.

I was so focused on the future that I had forgotten about the power of now. That’s when I decided to stop trying to manifest and instead focus on something deeper.

Alignment.

3. None of This is Real! You're in A Simulation. Here's How To Play & WIN!

When I first heard that our time here in this physical space was just an illusion, I didn’t know what to think…

I said to myself “Is that a good or bad thing?”

I mean, it’s not entirely difficult to believe, sometimes it doesn’t feel real.

But what if this theory wasn’t far from the truth? What if this reality we call life was more like a game, one where the rules are hidden, but the rewards are limitless once you figure them out?

Like most, I had my realisation about life when I read the book The Secret which taught us all that we have more control over our lives than what we might have thought.

Because I promise you I had a very different outlook before this knowledge. I often felt like I was on autopilot, going through the motions of life. I didn’t realise that I was a player in a game with infinite possibilities until I started teaching myself more about personal development and consciously shifting my mindset.

In this article, we’ll explore not only this concept as a metaphor but also as a framework for understanding the world as a game, how to play, and most importantly, how you can win!

2. Collapsing the Space between your CURRENT VERSION and your DREAM VERSION

Have you ever felt as though your dream life is miles away? No matter how much you plan, visualise, and take action, that gap in between feels huge.

But what if I told you that gap isn’t real?

In this article, you’ll find my notes on how to shorten the space between where you are and where you want to be by using the power of quantum thinking, reprogramming your subconscious, and tapping into a higher dimension of the reality you’re used to.

Time and Space: An Illusion of the 3D World

For the longest time, I thought that success required effort, patience, and gradual progress over time. I believed the more effort I put in, the more I would get back.

However, after reading more than enough material from Dr. Joe Dispenza and other quantum thinkers I soon realised these rules are not fact.

Time and space are constructs of the physical world, otherwise known as the 3D. But in the quantum field, all possibilities exist simultaneously. Meaning the version you want to be is already living out her life on another timeline.

1. How I'm Using My Brain's Algorithm to Create My DESIRED REALITY

Do you ever wonder why the moment you decide you like a certain car, you suddenly start seeing that car everywhere you go?

It’s like when I wanted a Tesla (way before Elonia Musty lost his mind), I would see them everywhere, then the moment I decided I no longer wanted that car, I wouldn’t see half as many as I did when I wanted one.

Or when you create a new goal, you start stumbling across opportunities, people, and ideas that align perfectly with it?

This is not a coincidence, it’s your brain’s algorithm, otherwise known as your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) filtering the world around you.

You’re welcome. For the longest time, I never knew the correct term for it either, but I knew it meant something.

In this article, I will how you how to use your RAS to change and amplify your approach to manifestation.
