  1. 0:00If you've been manifesting for months,
  2. 0:03listening to affirmations, [music]
  3. 0:05using subliminals, doing everything
  4. 0:07right, but nothing is changing [music]
  5. 0:10or things change briefly and fall apart,
  6. 0:14it's not because manifestation doesn't
  7. 0:17work. It's because your
  8. 0:19>> [music]
  9. 0:19>> identity hasn't caught up to your
  10. 0:21desire. And today I'm going to explain
  11. 0:23to you exactly how identity blocks
  12. 0:27manifestation,
  13. 0:28why this happens [music] at a
  14. 0:30subconscious and nervous system level,
  15. 0:32and most importantly, how to fix [music]
  16. 0:34it in a way that actually works.
  17. 0:41Most people think
  18. 0:42>> [music]
  19. 0:42>> identity is what I believe about myself,
  20. 0:46but that's far from [music] the truth.
  21. 0:48Identity is much deeper than beliefs.
  22. 0:52Your identity [music]
  23. 0:54is actually your brain's model of who
  24. 0:57you are, what feels normal, what feels
  25. 1:01safe, [music] and what outcomes feel
  26. 1:04allowed, what you subconsciously [music]
  27. 1:07expect to happen to you. From a
  28. 1:09neuroscience perspective, when your
  29. 1:11brain [music] is constantly asking
  30. 1:15based on who I believe I am, what should
  31. 1:18[music] I expect from reality? So,
  32. 1:21manifestation doesn't happen because you
  33. 1:24want something. It happens because your
  34. 1:28subconscious mind expects it to happen.
  35. 1:32So this is why two people could listen
  36. 1:35to the [music] same subliminals,
  37. 1:38same affirmations,
  38. 1:40apply [music] the two techniques and
  39. 1:42tools to manifest their desires and
  40. 1:45[music] only one person will get their
  41. 1:48results.
  42. 1:52Here's [music] something that most
  43. 1:54manifestation content leaves out. Your
  44. 1:57subconscious mind does not prioritize
  45. 2:00desire. [music]
  46. 2:01It prioritizes safety and consistency.
  47. 2:05Psychological [music]
  48. 2:06research shows that behavior is more
  49. 2:09driven by identity [music] than by goals
  50. 2:11or motivation.
  51. 2:13If your identity says, "I'm not the type
  52. 2:16of person who's chosen. People like me
  53. 2:19don't get that success comes [music]
  54. 2:21with stress. Being seen is dangerous."
  55. 2:25Then your nervous system will quietly
  56. 2:27block the desire. And it's not because
  57. 2:29you're the problem. It's because your
  58. 2:32brain is [music] actually trying to
  59. 2:33protect you from what it perceives as
  60. 2:36social overwhelm, a threat, [music] or
  61. 2:39unfamiliar responsibility or even loss
  62. 2:43of control. So, [music] you may
  63. 2:44consciously want the manifestation while
  64. 2:47subconsciously resisting it. That inner
  65. 2:50[music] mismatch is what stalls your
  66. 2:52results.
  67. 2:56Now, this is incredibly important,
  68. 2:59especially if you use [music]
  69. 3:01affirmations or subliminals. If you're a
  70. 3:04regular on my channel, you are probably
  71. 3:06familiar with my subliminal content.
  72. 3:09[music] So, this is really, really
  73. 3:11important on top of the previous videos
  74. 3:13that I have made about using
  75. 3:15subliminals. Affirmations and
  76. 3:18subliminals
  77. 3:19can definitely [music]
  78. 3:21support identity change. However, they
  79. 3:24do not override [music]
  80. 3:26identity on their own. And this is why
  81. 3:30if an affirmation [music]
  82. 3:32is exaggerated or too extreme, it could
  83. 3:37possibly contradict [music] your current
  84. 3:39self-concept. For example, if an
  85. 3:42affirmation says [music] something like,
  86. 3:44"I'm extremely confident when your
  87. 3:48perception of self or lived experiences
  88. 3:51[music] otherwise." Instead of
  89. 3:53reprogramming you, that affirmation
  90. 3:55[music] creates cognitive and emotional
  91. 3:58dissonance,
  92. 4:00and your nervous system could respond
  93. 4:02with numbness, overwhelm, anxiety,
  94. 4:06frustration, or merely nothing at all.
  95. 4:09This is why a lot of people listen to
  96. 4:11subliminals for months and see no
  97. 4:13change. [music]
  98. 4:14This is me responding to a comment I
  99. 4:18frequently get [music] on my subliminal
  100. 4:20videos that I make. So, I hope this also
  101. 4:22answers any questions [music] that you
  102. 4:23may have previously asked in my comment
  103. 4:26section. So, remember that you can't
  104. 4:28[music] force identity either. And
  105. 4:31identity updates itself through
  106. 4:34emotional safety [music] and repetition,
  107. 4:37embodied evidence, and just not applying
  108. 4:41the pressure to [music] change.
  109. 4:47Here's the core truth of why
  110. 4:50manifestation gets blocked. You cannot
  111. 4:53manifest an [music] identity that your
  112. 4:56body does not feel safe embodying. Many
  113. 5:00people actually associate success,
  114. 5:03[music] love or abundance with pressure,
  115. 5:07loss, abandonment, responsibility, being
  116. 5:10judged.
  117. 5:11>> [music]
  118. 5:12>> So when manifestation starts working,
  119. 5:15your body could pull back [music] in
  120. 5:18ways such as procrastination,
  121. 5:21self- sabotage, [music] loss of
  122. 5:23motivation, and randomly facing
  123. 5:26obstacles, and suddenly not wanting the
  124. 5:30[music] same thing anymore. But what's
  125. 5:32really happening is your nervous system
  126. 5:35is saying this version of you feels
  127. 5:38unfamiliar and unsafe. [music]
  128. 5:40Until safety is established, your
  129. 5:44identity cannot shift. [music]
  130. 5:47And without identity, manifestation
  131. 5:50cannot [music] change.
  132. 5:56So, let's [music] actually talk about
  133. 5:58how we can fix this step by step. I want
  134. 6:02you to stop becoming [music] a different
  135. 6:05person overnight. Identity shifts do not
  136. 6:09come [music] from sudden jumps. They
  137. 6:12come from connecting bridges. Instead of
  138. 6:14using extreme [music] affirmations such
  139. 6:17as I am wildly confident and
  140. 6:20unstoppable, [music]
  141. 6:22use affirmations that encode safety.
  142. 6:26Affirmations of safety and ensuring that
  143. 6:30your subconscious mind is safe during
  144. 6:32the intake of these affirmations.
  145. 6:34[music]
  146. 6:34So, for example, instead of saying
  147. 6:37you're wildly confident and unstoppable,
  148. 6:40you could use something more gentle and
  149. 6:42something that your mind might be more
  150. 6:44receptive [music] to, such as I am
  151. 6:47becoming somebody who feels safer
  152. 6:49expressing myself day by day. So, the
  153. 6:52takeaway from this is basically
  154. 6:55believability. It's a lot more [music]
  155. 6:58important than intensity. bonus here. I
  156. 7:02think something wonderful that you can
  157. 7:04do to start embodying your ideal
  158. 7:06identity in order to manifest your
  159. 7:09biggest dreams, goals, and desires
  160. 7:10[music] is to create an alter ego. I
  161. 7:14plan on making a separate video about
  162. 7:16this, but I'll scratch the surface for
  163. 7:17[music] now. This is something that I
  164. 7:19personally did in my self-development
  165. 7:21journey [music] and how I shifted my
  166. 7:24identity to manifest the life of my
  167. 7:26dreams. What you're going to want to do
  168. 7:28is you're going to create like an ideal
  169. 7:31version of yourself. Like I said, alter
  170. 7:33ego. It could have a different name, a
  171. 7:35certain persona, certain
  172. 7:36characteristics, a certain appearance.
  173. 7:38And [music] I want you to romanticize
  174. 7:41embodying that alter ego. For example,
  175. 7:44maybe your alter ego is a singer or a
  176. 7:47dancer [music] on top of being an
  177. 7:48entrepreneur. Well, I want you to enjoy
  178. 7:51that embodiment towards becoming your al
  179. 7:54alter ego or ideal self. It's really fun
  180. 7:59and it's really easy to encode that as a
  181. 8:03safe way of transforming to your
  182. 8:05subconscious mind. It's a wonderful way
  183. 8:08to have fun along the identity shift
  184. 8:10because I know you can real feel
  185. 8:13discouraged along the path to self
  186. 8:15transformation and manifestation. So,
  187. 8:18this is definitely something to try out.
  188. 8:20[music] The next thing you'll want to do
  189. 8:22is pair your desired identity with
  190. 8:24safety, which I just previously
  191. 8:26insinuated. [music]
  192. 8:28And this is a step almost no one
  193. 8:30teaches. I feel like because when you
  194. 8:32visualize, [music]
  195. 8:33affirm, or listen to subliminals, your
  196. 8:36body should feel calm, neutral, or
  197. 8:40grounded. [music]
  198. 8:42So, not tense, not desperate, not
  199. 8:45forced. Safety is what [music] allows
  200. 8:48the subconscious to update. So, if
  201. 8:51you're going to listen to affirmations
  202. 8:53or subliminals, I think it's a wonderful
  203. 8:55time to lay back and relax and let your
  204. 8:58nervous [music] system kind of
  205. 9:00decompress. Please relax and take care
  206. 9:02of yourself while you listen to
  207. 9:05affirmations, subliminals, or try any
  208. 9:08other method of shifting your identity
  209. 9:10[music] to manifest your dreams. Just
  210. 9:13take care of your nervous system. I care
  211. 9:16about your well-being and you should
  212. 9:17too. Next, I want you to use micro
  213. 9:20embodiment. [music]
  214. 9:21Your brain believes behavior more than
  215. 9:25words, believe it or not. So, basically
  216. 9:28what I'm saying here is that one small
  217. 9:31identity aligned action per day is
  218. 9:33[music] enough. And that could look like
  219. 9:36something as small as setting a boundary
  220. 9:39or one honest expression. Maybe making
  221. 9:43an aligned choice with your ideal
  222. 9:45identity or alter ego. [music] And maybe
  223. 9:48that's even respecting yourself. It
  224. 9:51doesn't matter whether it's a small,
  225. 9:54medium, or large win. As long as you are
  226. 9:57taking aligned action towards embodying
  227. 10:01your identity to manifest, that is
  228. 10:04enough. Step four is letting your
  229. 10:07identity shift first and then getting
  230. 10:10the result. Basically, when identity
  231. 10:13shifts, effort decreases towards
  232. 10:16embodying that identity. Effort
  233. 10:19decreases towards trying to manifest
  234. 10:22your goals and dreams that are aligned
  235. 10:24with that identity. Resistance fades and
  236. 10:27it just feels natural instead [music] of
  237. 10:29urgent. People who succeed always say
  238. 10:34same thing. It stopped feeling like
  239. 10:37something I was trying to get and it
  240. 10:38just started feeling like me. And that's
  241. 10:41when you really know when reality
  242. 10:43responds. Everything just feels like
  243. 10:46it's working out for a reason.
  244. 10:52Finally, let's reframe manifestation.
  245. 10:55[music] I want to say that it's not
  246. 10:58about forcing reality to change. I think
  247. 11:02it's about becoming internally congruent
  248. 11:05with the reality that you want [music]
  249. 11:07to experience. Like you don't manifest
  250. 11:11what you want. [music] You manifest what
  251. 11:14your identity is prepared to hold.
  252. 11:17[music] What your subconscious expects
  253. 11:19of you to do next. What it's predicting
  254. 11:23[music] you to do based on your
  255. 11:25experiences and your perception of self.
  256. 11:28When your identity changes, your
  257. 11:30behavior [music] changes, your
  258. 11:32expectations change, your choices
  259. 11:35change, opportunities align naturally to
  260. 11:39you, and most importantly, your reality
  261. 11:42follows along. This channel is all about
  262. 11:44permanent transformation, not temporary
  263. 11:47motivation. So, if you want to keep
  264. 11:49learning how to shift your identity,
  265. 11:51regulate your nervous system, and
  266. 11:52[music] manifest in a way that actually
  267. 11:54shifts, subscribe. Thank you guys so
  268. 11:56much for tuning into today's video. I'm
  269. 11:58so incredibly grateful that I [music]
  270. 12:00could sit down and have this
  271. 12:02conversation with you guys. And happy
  272. 12:04new year since 2026 is coming up super
  273. 12:07super soon. [music] I'm incredibly
  274. 12:09blessed to be here with you guys. So
  275. 12:11until next time, I'll see you.
