The philosopher Hannah Montana once famously pondered upon how life could be like a movie. In this Subconsciously Steel Maggie podcast episode, I agree with Montana, and raise her one more.

We are all playing a character of some kind. Each of us has a "personality," or a pattern of traits which we identify with and label with the word "I." These collections of traits, memories, thoughts, feelings, habits, all play out on the individual movie screens of our lives, whether we are conscious or unconscious to our roles regarding reality creation. A lot of people are going through life absolutely hating the movie that's playing, and don't believe they can consciously choose a different "movie."

Today I'm talking about exactly how you can select a better plot, write a new script, rehearse with the actors, and film the movie of your conscious choice, all in the quantum theater of your mind.

I will quote another late 2000s icon and leave you to enjoy the podcast episode: "The rest is still unwritten." - Natasha Bedingfield.

Do you feel like you just can't find things you're genuinely "grateful for," without forcing the issue? Are you getting more and more frustrated with this allegedly "secret sauce" element to reality creation?

If I had a dollar for every time I've run into that mental dead end! And when you listen to the majority of opinions on gratitude, about embodying the state of gratitude, the further you seem to run from simple peace of mind. "Why doesn't this come easy to me??" I get it man.

How can you create what you want to experience from the mental space of not having it, and then add in the frustration of knowing that you're not in the "abundance state" and can't seem to get to it no matter how much you've been trying? The answer is, you don't! But we're going to change that today.

With all the conflicting information and vague woo-woo LOA phrasing out there about gratitude, the solution I'm proposing today is to make a simple shift in wording. When I implemented this tiny mental pivot, it made all the difference in my ability to actually feel good about where I am in my life right here and now.

So you find the concept or feeling of "gratitude" to be inaccessible or if you feel completely fake making a gratitude list, even though you are told it's a game-changer for what you're experiencing in your life (and it is), this episode is absolutely 110% for YOU. It's a banger. 

Episode highlights:

-How gratitude ACTUALLY works

-The Alternative Gratitude List and examples of how you can try it out for yourself

-Your thoughts are actions in the quantum realm

-The only thing you "have to do"

-Why you want to become friends with your subconscious mind

-The song "Warmth of the Sun" by the Beach Boys as an awesome example of alternative gratitude.

Beautiful creators!! I'm back!! It's SO GOOD to be here with you again. Like coming home after a long trip, eating a full home-cooked meal, and taking a hot shower. That's how recording this episode felt. I have no regrets regarding my hiatus, but damn if I almost felt a twinge during initial production!

To re-introduce myself, my name is Steel Maggie, and I'm a songwriter, vocalist, and dance pop demigoddess. This is my podcast, Subconsciously Steel Maggie, formerly known as Mind Made Wrong. If this is your first episode, welcome! If you're returning, thank you for holding it down with your loyalty. I'm truly indebted to you.

My topical focus has shifted away from "coping" and "working through" mental health situations, towards understanding and using the power of the subconscious mind to consciously create what you most desire to experience in your life. This first episode returning is an overview of the Law of Mind, foundational Hermetic principles, and reality creation. I clear up terms, phrases, and attitudes that mar the impact of the "manifesting" community and distract you from developing your own connection to the infinite intelligence within. This episode is essentially an outline of what I'll be covering in following episodes to come, which is why it's a helpful overview, especially if you're new to this way of thinking.

Even though the podcast name has changed and my topics have narrowed in niche, I guarantee, I vow to you, that you will find even more value and actionable inspiration in the episodes to come than ever before.

By the way, I'm so thrilled and grateful to see that despite my long and unannounced hiatus, that you're still coming through for this podcast all over the world, from Los Angeles, to Brazil, to Ireland, to France and beyond. My listener analytics from this past year and a half from being away really surprised me, let alone that all you podcast listeners, Mind Made Wrong veterans and newcomers alike, were still downloading and listening to the old catalogue of episodes. This confirms to me that the content I'm creating remains right on time, both intellectually and spiritually. I want to follow that compass always, so your downloads, subscriptions, follows, episode plays, and reviews keep me aligned what I set out to do back in 2019 with this podcast.

You may notice I have removed a number of past episodes from the catalog. One or two of these were taken down by the request of the interviewed guest, but a majority have been removed because I no longer align with the message (or like...the general vibe, man) of those interviews. No bad blood, nothing personal - the messaging of the interviews made sense for Mind Made Wrong, but they don't fit Subconsciously Steel Maggie. The solo episodes that have been removed are due to the same reason - I no longer agree with what I said nor identify with my thought process at the time of a particular episode's publishing.
