I Deleted My Finsta And You Should Too

What manifestation has to do with Instagram and why should you work to incorporate it into your daily life.

I'm sitting at home with my brother, and we're talking about life and manifestation. What is manifestation, you ask? Manifestation is using your imagination to project yourself into the future with your goals. Manifestation is connecting with your inner self, telling yourself what you want to achieve, and then seeking it out.

It's similar to the Law of Attraction; we (intentionally or unintentionally) put out our emotions and thoughts into the world, and what you put out is what you get. For example, when a woman is thinking about having a child, they will tend to see a lot of babies just while doing anything. If you're thinking or feeling something, you are MANIFESTING that karmic energy into the world; you are seeking it out or trying to achieve it.

When you think about it, setting goals is just manifestation. Do you want to get an A in a class? You tell yourself that. You work towards it every day. You think about it. And then it happens. If you put thought and effort into the Universe, the Universe will put thought and effort into you.

There is an interesting way you can test this theory out. For a week, when you wake up, tell yourself that you will have a good and productive day. You don't have to say it out loud, but just consciously think it to yourself, and throughout the day. I can tell you that the days I do this are always better than the days I don't.

So what does all of this have to do with Instagram?

Well, I had a finsta. A finsta is a "fake Instagram" account, where people rant or post memes, or just post whatever they want. I deleted it, and have even recently been contemplating deleting my real Instagram account as well. I was sitting there and realizing that all of the drama and stupid things I posted on my finsta, it was all manifestation.

I was placing negative energy into my life, and not only that, but it was public for the world to see.

You don't have to delete your finsta account or go dark on social media just be in touch with yourself spiritually, but I think that it is a pretty good step in the right direction.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
