Stop faking it til you make it. Do this ...

Stop faking it til you make it. Do this instead.

Jun 16, 2022

You’ve heard the saying ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ and the concept of ‘acting as if’- but what if I told you they were both a total, complete waste of time? 

Hear me out here. 

It’s all good and fine to get a momentary burst of confidence to do the thing you need to do, but it’s certainly not sustainable. At all. 

When you’re faking it, you’re constantly looking over your shoulder. 

It’s like you’ve got your eyes tightly closed and then occasionally open one to have a peek to see whether you have manifested your reality. 

When you’re faking it til you make it, you’re literally doing that: faking it. 

It’s inauthentic and surface-level. 

If you’re here, you’ve tried surface-level and it hasn’t work- hence why you’re here. 

When you fake it, you often bypass the depths of true transformation. You ignore the root cause of why you have to fake it in the first place. See it like a used band-aid that has lost all its stickiness being put back onto a cut that doesn’t seem to be healing up. 

Faking it = bypassing the real reason. 

This is why I advocate for EMBODIMENT instead. 

Embodiment is the act of being, thinking, believing & doing as the version of you living the reality you want would be. 

It’s not faking it because it’s the actual you. The REAL you. 

And the best part about it is that you are addressing the the root cause of the issues. Not only does that mean that you’re living authentically (and naturally), but you’re also healing your past and creating a healthy, happy foundation for your future.  

Believe me, your nervous system will thank-you for it.
