- Don't be a "cancer" to your highest self
- Meditate (to help you hear your inner voice)
- Reflect on what your inner voice tells you
- Show Gratitude to all the good things, helps your brain identify things that are good for you
- Affirmations to help rewire your thinking (helps rewire your perception + beliefs, which in turn affects your actions, and thus your reality )
- Let go of everything which no longer serves you (and who you want to be)
Thank you
Thank you so much for the summary! I appreciate it.
Amazing ❤😊
Once upon a time on Twitter I asked Anna what her schedule actually looks like and she responded this insane calendar that was packed to the brim. I can't believe she finds time to also meditate. It so wild to me.
i wanna know this!
Meditation must also be on the schedule
Can you link the tweet?
Where’s the tweet?
@@byefelicia7967yeah it’s really that simple. Just like eating and working, why would you not prioritize the practice that affects your everyday so significantly?
Love on thyself is what we need to grow interest on life
To a lot in this episode MY mind just went "No. I don't affirm that for me. That is harmful. That's just not reality."
Lying to yourself and the Universe around you especially.
to hear this philosophy that is so Nailed down in this form ( Tone, Style, Words) is so awakening & leaves you with a sense of questions. But upon studying & practicing higher self being, in understanding the talk of "Building your reality" has been so clear to me. Anna it is such a pleasure to have watched this art you put out. Thank you & I truly wish you the best.
You’re great!
Each time I come back to your channel, whether it's been 6 months or 2 years, I always ask myself why the hell I don't watch you more often. I'm 24(F) with no older siblings, and the advice you give always seems to come through right when I need it. Thanks Anna 💗
it always feels like she's a wise & experienced older sister
If it comes when you need it, that's UA-cam dear, but heah Anna's great
same LOL.
A note on affirmations: start with stepping stones. It might not be doable at the beginning of this journey to say "I am capable" or "I love myself". Instead, start with "I can do X" or "I am proud of myself for Y". Just my two cents looking back at when I started utilizing such tools. Much love
Thank you for the suggestions
This is super helpful! I think I‘m actually gonna give it a shot now. And on friendly comment: it‘s called „my two cents.“ :)
Another one, which I encountered recently (not that I've adopted it yet 😕), is to do the looking in the mirror thing, but instead of jumping straight to 'I am beautiful/powerful/whatever', start with noticing the things that you genuinely like about yourself, the things that you believe to be both positive AND true. As you get better at doing that, day by day, it will become easier to expand the list of things that you like but also to ignore the negative voice. Alongside your suggestion, you can expand self-acceptance, self-compassion and eventually self-love.
Beautiful ❤
Taking personal notes:
1. Meditate (at least 10 mins)
2. Journal (Ask guidance from your highest self, and response as your highest self would)
3. Gratitude
4. Affirm (In the mirror)
5. Let Go - accept that things and people that are not serving you will leave your life.
Learn to trust yourself, be consistent with what you want & when experiencing growth - you'll also have losses along the way, which is inevitable as you reach your highest self. The journey is never linear, provided the mental challenges along the way. But with all the work in place, we'll get to where we want to be.
Thanks for the great tips Anna, your videos always come in time when I really need it 🙏
Such valuable content. No one comes close to filling the space in content creation that you do. Thank you for continuing to put your time and energy into these ♡
That’s literally how I healed my cancers. I didn’t have medical help because they’re the result of a work injury so I was abandoned medically.
I started talking to the cancer cells. I would spend time with them daily, getting to know them, and thanking them for coming to help heal my body.
I gave them a purpose. I talked to them with a deep love, respect, and gratitude.
I really resonate with what Anna is saying!!
Your life falling apart when you take a big decision for yourself and try to follow an inner urge : it's real guys.
Left my bf (not happily), came back to my parents, no job, health in a terrible state, but rediscovering myself. And health is starting to get better, life is starting to move again, in the exact way i want. I'm hopeful. And I'm getting my self confidence back.
Thank you so much for your videos, they helped and still help me SO MUCH during these times.
And do you have a boyfriend now if I may ask? Sorry don't know if that's recent for you or past experience, and I wanted to know how really life changes since I've lost hope ;(
@@Stephania006 yeah it's recent, it all happened this year. And I am seeing someone right now :) but keeping things slow and listening to me.
I keep saying to myself that I had terrible experiences in the past and surmounted them all, it helps ! And allowing myself to feel terrible sometimes, and journaling, also help. Don't lose hope you will get there ! And if you feel stuck don't forget that you can reach a therapist to help you get out of the funk.
If he wanted to… he would 💁♀️
Two videos in two days, awesome!
I actually feel really grateful that I've been practicing a bunch of these subconsciously, without having to put that much work into it. Like when I learnt what gratitude exercises are I thought "Oh I already do that" - but I call it 'good things' and usually think it when things happen or just throughout the day instead of a set time i.e. morning and afternoon. Still got some other things to work on ofc but something went right somewhere coz I love the kindness I already have for myself and the world/life. No doubt Anna's vids probs did some good brainwashing too over the years XD
But also you know, take it easy.
If you don't meditate and don't journal and don't do affirmation you can still be happy it's ok. But it does help, a lot! Just you know, no pressure and all that ^^.
Important thing to know about any spiritual practice such as meditation: It will trigger your „pain body“. This is the accumulation of every feeling you‘ve ever had but haven‘t fully felt = released from your system.
For reference: every time you have a ‚negative‘ thought, this creates a pain response in your body. But since we are often taught to suppress negative emotions and only allow or amplify the ‚good ones‘, the uncomfortable ones get pushed down… and they STAY THERE.
When you meditate/do yoga etc, you allow this stuff to COME UP. This is a GOOD THING. But you need to embrace, fully feel and sit with them when they come. Think of it this way: You are the host of this accumulated energy. It only has you. It can‘t go anywhere else. In order to ‚get out of you‘ it has to be fully felt and acknowledged. If it helps, think of every emotional response as a chemical reaction: it just wants to happen. Only once it has happened is it over and done and you feel a little lighter than before.
Most of us walk around with this huge mass of chemical reactions in our system that are waiting to happen. No wonder we get triggered so easily.
Also: EVERY. EMOTIONAL REACTION. HAS. AN EXPIRATION DATE. If you allow it, it will not persist forever. Quite the opposite. Only if you resist it will it stay within and muddle up your energy field.
Just keep in mind: No feeling no healing. You got this🌸❤️✨
For me
1. Carve out stillness to hear your intuition
2. Bring your intuition to fruition by meditating (vivid visualization)
3. Write down what you saw. What do i need to let go of? What do i need to embrace? What are the tiny steps i need to take now?
4. Trust yourself and maintain an abundant mindset. Feel as though you are already your highest self.
5. Ask. Ask for advice from your highest self, and write a corresponding letter
6. Know what you want.
7. Show gratitude!!!
8. Maybe record yourself saying your most personal, favorite affirmations
9. Don’t be afraid to change your beliefs to work for you
10. Learn to revel in the chaos. Reframe this as working to your advantage
11. Write also to and from parts of yourself that you feel in conflict with, that are hard to look at.
Walk around in your own mind. Is it a beautiful garden?
Trust that any action taken from love will yield a result that works for you.
Stop feeling guilty for taking your time to think.
Be patient with yourself. Try your best not to demean yourself when you “fall short”.
Listen to Hozier’s No Plan or OVERTHINKING IT by WILLOW.
I am so thankful to myself that I managed to get here.
I love you man
Kudos for listening to yourself about not drinking, I'm glad and happy for you. There's not enough comments about this.
The work you do is so important. Thank you ♥ Been watching since the beginning and I'm grateful for it all.
PS; The Closed Caption off you signing off said "I'm Anna Arcana" and it just sounds legendary. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ANNA ARCANA✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
Self-Care is Magic in the works~
Moment of silence for all the cancers ♋️😂
Oh my gosh, I'm mesmerized by the set lightning.
You got good taste Anna, thanks for the contributions.
One thing I do now is sing love songs n sing them to myself in the mirror… was super cringy at first but it’s fun now
Hi, Anna it has been a while hope you are well. I have not been seeing your videos for a while and didn't give it much thought but after watching your vid I am again reminded of why I watch your content and I believe we are friends even though we have not shared a drink and have a one on one. But I believe the time we spend on UA-cam is a shared experience and through the magic of the internet we are friends. As a friend it is nice to see you again after a while and I hope we can be friends for years to come
Love Swad
My highest self is always giving answers for my questions. Not long ago I asked why my life cramble when something good happens and here's the answer. Thank you master Ana 😊
"Becoming your highest self" think I already got that covered 🍀☠
LMFAOOOOOOOO
This is truly something that speaks to us in the self improvement path. You are not the only one in that journey Anna, but your advice helps us all walking it with you
Recommendation for a guided creative visualization meditation?
Do your own research. Thing about source's how do the sources know who are there sources who's alnipitent source
At the beginning of this year I had to re-home my dog, quit my job, put boundaries in place that cost me a handful of relationships all within a span of two months for the sake of my mental health. These were some of the scariest and toughest decisions I had to make once I was more honest with myself…
but fast forward to the present- I get to wake up next to the love of my life everyday and do the things that I really love in a city that has me saying “I love living here !” daily ❤
Sometimes it gets worse - moments of doubt, darkness, and defeat - before it gets better. moving through life making hard decisions that resonate with my highest self has been life changing. We are much more resilient than we think. Thank you Anna for this and the work that you do 🥺
What if your sign is cancer tho? 😁
I love when your videos show up, mostly because it's always divine timing for where I'm at in my life, but also because you're my favourte UA-cam big sister/human/role model ❤️❤️
The part about having huge losses after growth was very important to hear
Omg Anna you brought the heat with this one. I love your videos. Very inspiring
being sober is a super power
🎉 my comments are working again
You are amazing, I was introduced to you over a decade ago by my first friend since kindergarten and I have time and time again have come back to watch your videos at good times, peaceful times and tragic times of my life and you have inspired me every time. I appreciate you. I hope this message finds you joy and appreciation i send to you.
After being forced listen to women telling myself Im beautiful also feels like a lie. Everything feels an escuse. And everything has negative emotional affects. But also logically contradict.
I am most grateful to be born in a developed country like the U.S. in the twentieth century. Life is vastly better now than at any time in the past. Let's not mess it up.
-develop country like the US
-lets not mess it up
I'm so sorry to inform you of so many things 😭
Anna, you outdid yourself.
How does creating your own reality through affirmations connect you to the community around you?
My affirmations help me get into a state of wanting to be connected to something greater than myself, of service, and basically get out of my own way. Instead of being self-conscious in situations, I'm able to stay genuinely curious & present with those around me
@@AnnaAkana thank you for your reply! It makes sense that feeling better (filling your own cup) makes a person more available for service. It was just something you said about creating your own reality reminded me of people who avoid negativity at all costs and refuse to see what is happening, specifically in regards to climate change. So, I became curious how to balance affirmations but also staying humble to understand that one highest self might not know what others know.
changes happen, sometimes your purpose is to be a cell moving your toe, two months later you are a cell that would thrive in the intestines to absorb nutrients.
Dr. K had few videos on "reaching the end of thought", and how many people now (in the digital age) don't even know what they desire because our brains get overly stimulated with information from everywhere. So set time for nothingness and allow your brain to figure stuff out, chances are your goals won't get accomplished by watching tiktok
Nice message, but society weird rules, Hugh cost 💲, & New A.I. is extremely limiting peoples analogy to move on with life
I only see it getting worse
Do appreciate the positive message thou 🥃🔥
Anna, you are such a hero to me! I love how quick and on point and funny you deliver these valuable informations. It resonates deeply and I am so grateful for your presence in my life 🙏
So happy for you and proud that you have reached this level of awareness. The better it gets the better it gets 😘
Yes, great words of wisdom. Thank you Anna! 😊🎉
I looked in the mirror and told my self I could fly. After 3 months I began levitating. Thanks ana banana
Meditate
Journal: what do I need to let go off, what do I need to embrace, what are the next steps to take to achieve this reality
Get accustomed with those beliefs and feelings, let it become your default
Ask advice from your highest self
Listen to the advice
Do it, and the next step will be clear
Show gratitude
Say affirmations
Be consistent.
Beliefs -> actions -> reality
Let go of everything not serving you.
Your one of my favorites! ❤
“Awww….” lol
Your background music is good, too! Where’d you get it? lol
Thanks Anna! I've been struggling with a lot of ruminating thoughts for who knows when and tinnitus combined, but your channel always brings me hope that one day I'll conquer all of it and self transcend to the person I wanted to be
Have you ever looked into metacognitive therapy by Wells? Helped a lot with my ruminatig thoughts
Christian Psychologist Doctor Timothy Jennings books 📚 especially God-shaped Heart.
I started journaling when I started meditating. Before I never had much to say, but when the Inner Guru starts speaking to you.......Pay Attention!!! LOL
Question: when, in your brain, you say "I don't affirm that for me"
What do you say to the friend who is saying these fallacious things to you?
Do you just comfort them, or...?
That’s really great self-awareness and a lot of inner work. You’re awesome and these videos rock
ANNA PLS TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THAT FLORAL CORSET TOP THANK YOUUUUU I LOVE IT SO MUCH
(Also? Your outfits are always so on point. What are your go to brands or stores?!)
Hey Anna, firstly thank you so much for these videos. Love em. However, I am curious which LIPSTICK SHADE do you use? I've been looking for a similar shade but Idk what to look into online. Too many shades.
Hi Anna, What did Sasha say to Grimm during the battle?
It's HAMMER TIME!!!
Малышка!! Юлик !! Ты молодец и самая лучшая !
Счастья тебе безмерного , любви захватывающей и душевной- пусть будет все ещё лучше и прекрасней !
Ты сама все строишь и добиваешься , столько сил и энергии и времени необходимо было для любой твоей идеи и ее реализации ! Пусть придумывается и воплощается ещё и ещё ! Иди к своей мечте, к той жизни , какую ты видишь для себя, ощущаешь или придумываешь !
Это твои чувства, твоя любовь, твоя жизнь !
А завистники и злые -это не близкие , не обращай внимание !
Ты любима и успешна и пусть это только нарастает и крепнет , но будет легким и приятным без каких-либо трудностей и затрат , тем более потерь 🙏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🌸🤍🌸🤍
Anna. I love your stuff, and found a lot of useful guidance from your videos, but some of this sounds a little delusional to me. I am not saying to be cynical and apathetic. Being optimistic and passionate is a great idea. What troubles me is the sort of casual dismissal of reality. Maybe it is all just symantics, but I think it is healthier to see things for what they are, but persevere and find ways around obstacles, not necessarily, ignoring they are there.
Some girl is exsample " you will get every thing you wish, my baby girl "
From parent When growing up
Not u, totatlly not u at all
So ive been doing this for years, and every years ive just gotten LONELIER--
I dont need to be useful to validate me. True freedom and stillness is let go this need for purpose, the need to make people and you think you are worth of be alive. You are no purpose. You are no goal. Life justify itself. Be is "not trying to be"
Y'know that exercise to build affection towards another by looking each other silently in the eyes for 10 minutes ---
Try it with your reflection.
Looking yourself in the eyes consistently for 10 minutes every morning is different 🙂
AND wipe down your toilet every morning and tell it thank you 👍
God almighty this girl is extremely smart. I’m glad I found this channel today!!
❤❤❤ I always leave the same comment every week haha, I am going to leave it again. I love you Anna, your videos keep getting better and better! You are on fire, I see you growing and I see you shining so brightly ✨✨✨
Well my rising sign is Cancer.
Anna's been dropping vids left and right this week.
I can't believe you summed this up in 7 minutes!! Amazing. This has been pretty much my process for over 10 years. Anyone who reads this- happiness and contentment is real! You can feel fulfilled and at peace with yourself and your life, even enjoy your life to a degree you didn't think possible. Meditation is uncomfortable, but do yourself a favor and start! And try to be as consistent as possible, and don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. Just start again with even more motivation than before. All the best to you! You are not alone, and you deserve to feel happy, fulfilled, and deeply loved as your truest self
Is it possible that our purpose is just to live? Like, from a biological perspective, that seems to be all it's about. Are all the other living things that are not aware that they have a purpose cancer because they don't know? At what point does a creature evolve to need a purpose to justify and enjoy life?
I’m finally doing the work. It works people but yeah you might as well be pulling the tower card over and over. It’s for the best but boiiiii is it hard work
Anna you’re truly a gift to the world ♥️ I’m grateful for everything that I have gained from your channel. Only when i look back at where I started to realize that, yea, this self-work is truly life changing.
Anna hope youre doing okay, your voice sounded shakey, take care, i know you're burnt out doing youtube...
What if ones purpose is complete? 🤔
Time to just wait for the next. 😗🎶🎶🎶
But for me, it's always both at the same time. The kind thoughts and the bad thoughts. I feel both gratitude for all I have and am anxious about losing it. I tell myself about how skilled I am and how proud I am of myself, but at the same time, I find myself just unbearable sometimes. My mind is both a beautiful place I wish I could stay forever and a horrifying place full of existential dread.
"Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy"
Probably easier to change those thoughts when you're a young beautiful person.
This is SO GOOD, Anna. I must admit. at least this morning, this is met with resistance from within me, from the all "Ooo, I'm unworthy~" pattern I'm trying to shake, so I'll definitely try this method. Thank you so much for sharing it! When I can afford it, I'll buy the workbook!
I've become my highest self by selling my car and buying lots of weed with all that money.
The bravest thing one can do is to pursue its dreams and be our true selves. Pd.Always so sexy when you speak like this!
Thank you for your videos! I love the way you speak the truth..doing affirmations at the beggining made me cry.. but over time I do believe it and give me strength and motivation to achieve my goals :3
Thank you for making wonderful videos❤
Anna, I love you!
Also, what is the ted talk you refer to? I'd love to watch it :)
At first it I thought it was gonna be a comedy skit bc she talked about finding your purpose then it got real 😆
Lately I'm trying to do things I dislike at first or makes me uncomfortable. I then realise such things where not that terrible to experiment, I believe it somehow makes me stronger and more confident.
What guided creative visualization meditation do you recommend?
Thanks Anna! The kick in the butt I needed. I know this, I’ve just haven’t been doing it!
Had to watch in x0.75 speed, needed to pay attention
Anna!!! Always speaking facts. I love you wow
me me, me me me meeee, me me me meee, me me me meeee. Meeee meee, meeee me me me meeeeeeeeeeeee, me me me me meeeeeeeeeeeeee me meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
So, just make something up and go with it lol cause that’s your purpose.
I Became More Healthy More Greater and a Better Version of Myself
How to actually (forgive and) let go of things? I need a manual
When someone you look up to doesn't think she's her highest self
GOD AND JESUS GIVE AN CALLING I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CALLING IS ANNA
If you could link the TED-Talk that would be nice
when your highest self gives you violent advice😂
The writing to your highest self is such a good idea!
can i become ur boyfriend..that is my highest self
