Full transcript
- 0:00Hello guys, welcome back to my channel.
- 0:02If you're new, welcome. My name is
- 0:04Leilani. I post content based on
- 0:06manifestation, subliminal stimuli, and
- 0:08overall anything that has to do with
- 0:10being your best self.
- 0:11>> [music]
- 0:12>> Today's topic is going to be all about
- 0:13how to manifest academic success without
- 0:16making studying feel like it's daunting,
- 0:18overwhelming, and most importantly how
- 0:21you're going to rewire your identity to
- 0:23become your most [music] successful,
- 0:25most academic, and disciplined self.
- 0:28So, to begin with this video, I first of
- 0:31all want to talk about my journey with
- 0:33manifesting academic success and how I
- 0:35unintentionally manifested this. So,
- 0:38when I say I unintentionally manifested
- 0:40academic success, I specifically mean
- 0:43that I did this before I actually
- 0:44started my journey of manifesting really
- 0:47important, significant changes in my
- 0:49life in general.
- 0:52My
- 0:53failures in manifesting academic success
- 0:56[music] did happen a few years prior to
- 0:58unintentionally
- 1:00manifesting academic success. [music]
- 1:03When I was in ninth grade, I kind of
- 1:05went through what I like to call my
- 1:07genius phase where I suddenly became
- 1:10obsessed with being [music] like the
- 1:11smartest person in every room. And that
- 1:13was just like
- 1:14being smart was
- 1:16a title to me. [music] It wasn't
- 1:18like about having deep knowledge and
- 1:22being wise. It was just like a social
- 1:24status. I was craving
- 1:26social
- 1:27>> [music]
- 1:27>> I was craving social status. I wanted to
- 1:30be seen and recognized as somebody who
- 1:32is very smart, and I was more focused on
- 1:34the outcome and the future me being
- 1:38smart rather than embodying smarts
- 1:40myself. So, I would often feel like I
- 1:43was cheating off of myself when I was
- 1:45like trying to prepare for IQ tests or
- 1:48annual tests because I didn't attend
- 1:50public school. I was self-taught in
- 1:53everything that I learned growing up. I
- 1:54was self-educated and never went to
- 1:56public school or whatnot. Anyway, I was
- 1:59not really learning everything in depth.
- 2:01Like I was kind of skimming the surface
- 2:02and
- 2:03>> [music]
- 2:04>> at my core I didn't identify as somebody
- 2:08who was smart, disciplined, or
- 2:10academically successful. I was spreading
- 2:12myself thin and I was
- 2:15focusing on the numbers rather [music]
- 2:17than the actual in-depth knowledge.
- 2:20And this was the biggest mistake I made
- 2:23when it came to manifesting academic
- 2:25success. And obviously back then I did
- 2:28not know what manifestation was. I
- 2:30didn't know how to properly get good
- 2:32grades, become disciplined, and become
- 2:35the person that I truly wanted to be.
- 2:38So,
- 2:39to reflect on my failures,
- 2:42the biggest takeaway from this is that I
- 2:44did not reprogram my identity. I was
- 2:48discreetly and unawarely
- 2:51reinforcing the fact that I was not the
- 2:53person who I wanted to be because I was
- 2:55focusing on the outcome rather than
- 2:58embodying the genius within.
- 3:01And this is going to lead directly on to
- 3:04how I unintentionally manifested [music]
- 3:07academic success.
- 3:09So, let me think of what the timeline
- 3:11was. So, 3 years later when I was in
- 3:1511th grade, I got into college
- 3:17>> [music]
- 3:17>> and I used to be a very shy person. If
- 3:21you guys are regular with with my
- 3:23channel, you know that I talked about
- 3:25[music] how I used to be really shy and
- 3:26I was really naive and whatnot. When I
- 3:28first entered college, this was my
- 3:30[music] first classroom setting that I
- 3:32had ever been exposed to.
- 3:34But I remember on the first day of
- 3:37college, [music]
- 3:39I walked into one of my classes which
- 3:41was a general psychology class and I
- 3:44don't know what it is what it was within
- 3:47me, but there was this force within me
- 3:49[music] that just
- 3:51wanted to embody
- 3:53the genius within. Like I already acted
- 3:57like the smartest person in the room. I
- 3:58was like the most confident. I
- 4:00specifically remember walking into the
- 4:02classroom that day and I just sat with
- 4:04like
- 4:05the most perfect posture ever. I was
- 4:07like
- 4:08really proper, you know, my shoulders
- 4:10relaxed, my back was like all straight
- 4:12like this and what uh blah blah blah
- 4:13blah blah. I sat right in front of the
- 4:17teacher's desk at the very front [music]
- 4:20of the class. And I remember there was
- 4:21this one classmate I had and he was like
- 4:24the smart nerdy kid of the class, but I
- 4:27always like to sit next to him because
- 4:29I felt like we just had like our own
- 4:31little
- 4:32genius group going on and whatnot.
- 4:34Anyway, so because this was my first
- 4:37college semester ever and it was the
- 4:40first opportunity that I had in a
- 4:42classroom setting,
- 4:44I [music] still like subconsciously was
- 4:46very nervous and naive because obviously
- 4:49I'd never
- 4:50been in a classroom setting like this
- 4:51before.
- 4:52But with initial exposure
- 4:55and desensitization of the classroom
- 4:58setting and like desensitization of my
- 5:00anxiety and whatnot, I got used to it
- 5:02and I focused on embodying what it was
- 5:05like to be the [music] smartest, most
- 5:08disciplined, and academic person in the
- 5:10room. And even outside of the classroom,
- 5:14this was applicable to my academic
- 5:16success too because at this time I
- 5:18didn't have any online classes,
- 5:20but I did have studies to focus on when
- 5:22I was at my home. And I specifically
- 5:26remember dedicating a special space
- 5:30>> [music]
- 5:30>> in my room for academic success. Now,
- 5:33obviously an environmental setting isn't
- 5:35going to make you smarter, but when you
- 5:38create
- 5:39>> [music]
- 5:40>> a connection like a sensory connection.
- 5:42Like maybe you can even put like
- 5:44an air purifier in your room and put
- 5:46like certain [music] essential oils or
- 5:48scents
- 5:50in there for like aromatherapy and
- 5:51whatnot. There is a specific technique
- 5:54and it's called sensory anchoring where
- 5:56you create like
- 5:58a sensory association with a feeling.
- 6:02[music]
- 6:04This should come pretty intuitively. So,
- 6:06like for example, what I like to do is
- 6:09before I go to work, I actually combined
- 6:12I combine lavender and fennel oil for
- 6:16like [music] my signature scent, which I
- 6:18like to call it, just to get me like in
- 6:21my successful mood cuz that's like my
- 6:23success scent. It's it's kind of funny,
- 6:26but it also makes me
- 6:28>> [music]
- 6:28>> feel like really confident and it makes
- 6:30me feel really relaxed. So, I like to
- 6:32put that on before I go to work. I
- 6:34specifically like [music] to use citrus
- 6:36when I study because I feel like it's
- 6:37very stimulating and it keeps me
- 6:39focused. So, whenever I smell like lemon
- 6:41or orange, it makes me like
- 6:43im- immediately like embody my genius
- 6:46version of myself. Anyway, [music]
- 6:48so dedicate like a sacred space where
- 6:50you can study and embody like
- 6:54the discipline of being focused and
- 6:56whatnot. I also want to put an emphasis
- 6:59on focus here because this is a very
- 7:01obvious one for many of you who are in
- 7:03college or [music] who are working on
- 7:05graduating high school and whatnot.
- 7:06Basically, this is applicable to
- 7:08everybody at any level of study,
- 7:11education, et cetera, et cetera. But you
- 7:14have to find your sacred space
- 7:18>> [music]
- 7:19>> and you need to make sure that it's
- 7:21distraction-free because
- 7:23>> [music]
- 7:23>> we all know
- 7:25how detrimental
- 7:27notifications and any distraction in
- 7:30general is
- 7:31>> [music]
- 7:31>> to our study time. Especially with the
- 7:34phones, I know
- 7:36it's really cliché when you hear [music]
- 7:39other people, especially the older
- 7:41generation, saying it's the phones. It's
- 7:43the phones that are the cause of your
- 7:45your inattentiveness, ADHD, your
- 7:47symptoms, et cetera. [music]
- 7:50They I mean, they're not completely
- 7:52wrong. I mean, when you look at studies,
- 7:54there like there are actually studies
- 7:56that prove [music] that
- 7:58the average human attention span is now
- 8:01shorter than [music] that of a
- 8:02goldfish's attention span, which is
- 8:04really sad and it makes
- 8:06us realize [music] like how addicted we
- 8:09are to our phones and just stimuli in
- 8:11general, especially electronic stimuli.
- 8:14The key here is to view yourself as a
- 8:16high achiever through like these little
- 8:18rituals of creating your sacred study
- 8:20space
- 8:21>> [music]
- 8:22>> and sensory anchoring.
- 8:24But more important than anything, you
- 8:27need to energetically embody what it's
- 8:29like to be a high achiever because if
- 8:31you're not energetically embodying what
- 8:33it's like to be a high achiever, [music]
- 8:35you're shallowly going after all these
- 8:37aspirations and you're just focusing on
- 8:40numbers in a way. It might not like look
- 8:43like focusing on numbers for you. It
- 8:45definitely
- 8:46>> [music]
- 8:46>> looked like that for me because I was
- 8:48more concerned with having a 4.0 GPA. I
- 8:51was
- 8:51>> [music]
- 8:51>> concerned with having this IQ and I was
- 8:53concerned with having a perfect 100 on
- 8:56every exam score without studying.
- 8:59Which leads to another point that I want
- 9:01to make is that manifestation
- 9:04as a topic should not replace
- 9:07studying itself.
- 9:09Because although I believe that
- 9:11manifesting and seeing yourself as a
- 9:13high achiever can definitely help
- 9:15improve your grades, you should not use
- 9:17it solely to replace [music] studying.
- 9:19If you can use manifestation by
- 9:21embodying what it's like to be a high
- 9:24achiever, it is literally going to
- 9:28rewire your brain. Your brain is going
- 9:29[music] to find proof and use that bias
- 9:33to create it into your reality to make
- 9:35you that high achiever. See, when you
- 9:38just focus on the result itself and you
- 9:40just focus on [music]
- 9:41manifesting studies without necessarily
- 9:44studying for an exam [music]
- 9:46and getting a high score even without
- 9:49studying because I did it's definitely
- 9:50possible to manifest a high exam score,
- 9:53but what is the meaning in getting that
- 9:55exam score [music] if you're not going
- 9:57to learn anything. And I understand if
- 9:59you need a higher grade to get into this
- 10:01college or if you need to advance to
- 10:03this next class, if you need to pass
- 10:04[music] that class.
- 10:06But seriously, if you solely
- 10:10rely on scores and manifestation to get
- 10:13you that score without actually studying
- 10:14the material, what is the point of being
- 10:16in that next [music] level class? What's
- 10:19the point of being in that college?
- 10:20You're not going to learn
- 10:22and fill the gaps that you did in that
- 10:25previous class that you took, right?
- 10:27Let's talk more about the things that
- 10:28you can actually do to prove to your
- 10:30brain that you are a high achiever and
- 10:32things that will accelerate your
- 10:33manifestation to getting those exquisite
- 10:36grades, your study dedication and
- 10:40overall your academic success. One thing
- 10:43that I really like to do while [music]
- 10:44I'm studying and I think that you should
- 10:46do while you're studying to accelerate
- 10:48your academic success is listen to
- 10:51subliminals while studying because it is
- 10:54one of the easiest ways [music] to have
- 10:56ex- habit stack and increase your
- 10:58productivity while working on your brain
- 11:01gains at the same time. [music]
- 11:03So it's like
- 11:04you're training your brain while you're
- 11:05studying, right? But then manifestation
- 11:09via subliminal listening also
- 11:11accelerates that. And one thing I really
- 11:13want to mention, and this is something
- 11:15that's recently come to mind, is the
- 11:17type of affirmations you're listening to
- 11:19because
- 11:21I used to struggle with the subliminal
- 11:23affirmations because
- 11:26when I used to say I like I am when I
- 11:30consciously affirm I am, it feels very
- 11:32dissonant or at least it felt dissonant
- 11:34at first. So I feel like
- 11:36for somebody like me, I will I rely more
- 11:39on second person affirmations. [music]
- 11:41And I've recently been listening to my
- 11:43own subliminals that I make with second
- 11:44person affirmations and for some reason
- 11:46they just work really well. So if you're
- 11:49somebody who's
- 11:50struggling with [music] subliminal
- 11:52affirmations, I would highly suggest
- 11:54that you start making your own
- 11:55subliminals with second person
- 11:57affirmations. So like you are smart, you
- 12:00are academically successful, you are a
- 12:03high achiever, you have good grades. I
- 12:05would recommend testing those out and
- 12:07see how they [music] work compared to
- 12:09regular affirmations such as I am
- 12:11affirmations
- 12:12>> [music]
- 12:13>> because a lot of subliminals on YouTube
- 12:16have the I am affirmations and I feel
- 12:18like you are affirmations can be just as
- 12:21powerful, if not more, for specific
- 12:24individuals who don't feel resonant with
- 12:26the I am
- 12:27affirmations. Another thing I really
- 12:29want to mention is something called
- 12:31inspired action and this might come very
- 12:34intuitively to you guys, but inspired
- 12:36[music] action basically means
- 12:38I want you to
- 12:40take all of your action based on
- 12:41inspiration. I don't want you guys to
- 12:43feel like you have to study based from a
- 12:45feeling [music] of lack or that you have
- 12:47to study or simply that you force
- 12:50yourself to study because often our
- 12:53mental blocks while study come from
- 12:54[music] forced labor. Like when you feel
- 12:56like you have to force yourself to
- 12:58study, that's when the mental blocks
- 12:59come.
- 13:00Your best ideas come when you're not in
- 13:03a state of distress. You know, like
- 13:06when we're like
- 13:08awake [music] in the middle of the
- 13:09night, often times like we have the best
- 13:11ideas or we have the craziest
- 13:13epiphanies. The craziest, most [music]
- 13:16genius thoughts out there.
- 13:18When you get your body into a relaxed
- 13:20state, especially if you can get like
- 13:22those deep sleep brain waves, and I know
- 13:25some people can actually induce those
- 13:26brain waves while awake.
- 13:28>> [music]
- 13:28>> This that actually happens all the time
- 13:30during meditation and I personally
- 13:32induce deeper, slower brain waves while
- 13:35I'm in meditation and it helps me sleep
- 13:37much better. It helps me perform so
- 13:39[music] much better academically. And I,
- 13:43you know, this is crazy, but
- 13:44>> [music]
- 13:44>> I remember starting my meditation
- 13:46journey right around the time when I was
- 13:50in my first year of college and
- 13:53during my first semester, I actually
- 13:55[music]
- 13:56had a really strong 4.0 GPA. And aside
- 13:59from unintentionally manifesting
- 14:01academic success, I feel like
- 14:03>> [music]
- 14:03>> the meditation also really helped
- 14:05support the consistent GPA because I was
- 14:09constantly like so relaxed.
- 14:11And I almost trained my brain to just be
- 14:14[music] chill and not have to stress
- 14:15about schoolwork. So even though
- 14:19I had a 4.0 GPA during my first [music]
- 14:22semester, I was actually able to
- 14:24maintain that 4.0 GPA throughout my
- 14:27entire 2 years of getting my associate's
- 14:29degree. And now that I'm in a four-year
- 14:32college, [music] I still have a 4.0 GPA.
- 14:35And that's compared to the 3.9 3.69 GPA
- 14:40that I had when I graduated high school.
- 14:43So and it's crazy because I've been
- 14:45working full-time for [music] almost 2
- 14:47years at this point and being a
- 14:49full-time student at the same time. Like
- 14:52if I were to get into like an Ivy League
- 14:55college, I would guarantee that I could
- 14:57probably still maintain that 4.0 GPA and
- 15:00higher because
- 15:01>> [music]
- 15:02>> I've just utilized like so many aspects
- 15:04of my wellness and I've figured out how
- 15:07to
- 15:09reach out and manage my time, my
- 15:11wellness and most importantly just
- 15:13embody what it's like to be a high
- 15:15achiever and not be distracted by
- 15:18all the
- 15:19different stimuli of the world and
- 15:22basically taking care of myself and just
- 15:23realizing that
- 15:25my success is already within me. It's
- 15:28just about embracing it and reading it
- 15:31radiating that energy. And I believe if
- 15:33you can take these practical steps
- 15:35[music]
- 15:36to embody academic success, believe in
- 15:39yourself and set aside dedicated time to
- 15:42focus and study, you can achieve
- 15:45anything. You can really go as far as
- 15:47you want academically and
- 15:49>> [music]
- 15:49>> in any area of your life.
- 15:52Thank you guys for watching until the
- 15:53end of today's video. I was really,
- 15:56really excited to talk about this topic
- 15:57with you guys because it was something
- 15:59that was requested in the comment
- 16:01section of some of my videos.
- 16:04So I hope you can learn something from
- 16:06today's video and [music] until next
- 16:08time, I will see you guys.
- 16:10Bye.
