Shifting Perspectives: Debunking the “Acting as If” Myth

Today we’re chatting about some of my issues with the Law of Attraction. While there are aspects of it that overlap with what we teach at Sisters Enchanted, there’s one particular concept that I take some issue with – “acting as if.”

1️⃣ Shift your mindset, don’t just act: Instead of merely pretending to have something or be someone, focus on changing your thoughts and perceptions. How would someone who already has what you desire think and perceive the situation?

2️⃣ Inner work first: Start with the inner work, the feelings, and the thoughts that align with your desires. This is what fuels aligned action. When you skip the inner work and jump straight to action, you may find yourself moving further away from your goals.

3️⃣ Conscious creation: To create lasting change in your life, focus on conscious energetic alignment. Pay attention to how you want to feel, how you want to embody that energy, and allow that to naturally guide your actions. It’s about more than just taking random “act as if” actions – it’s about thinking and feeling as if.

TRY THESE JOURNAL PROMPTS TO SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE UNDER THIS GEMINI FULL MOON: 

🖊️Imagine you are your future self, one year from today, having already achieved your biggest goal. Describe a day in your life in vivid detail. How do you feel upon waking up? What are the conversations you’re having? What decisions are you making differently now that you’ve accomplished what you once desired?

🖊️Gemini represents the twins, the duality within us. Write a dialogue between your current self and your future self who has already manifested your desires. What advice does your future self give you? What insights do they share about the journey? How does your future self encourage you to think or act now?

🖊️In the spirit of Gemini’s communicative energy, compose a letter of gratitude from your future self to your present self. Thank them for the actions, thoughts, and decisions you are making right now that will lead to the fulfillment of your dreams. What specific things are you grateful for, and how did they contribute to your success?
