I did the thing! I did the meditation/journaling/manifestation exercise with Anna! And it felt so good. Thanks for making this content free and accessible to us, Anna. It means the world.

[@Unofficial_History]

Same here. i told myself how badly i want to be good at creating my own videos. Hopefully Anna is right about manifestation or whatever the scientific term was. As long as we have a real, tangible goal and we spend our lives working towards it, eventually it has to work out right? i hope that really is the case.

[@aurora6920]

This is the same as faking confidence too, it's all about choosing to think with a different mindset, freeing yourself from anxiety and meeting your goals quicker. Being spiritual, trusting in God/universe helps some people too. Actively focus on goals and stay in positive mindset to who you want to be, but it's easier said the done, and lifestyle/Financial changes we can't control will make things harder to change reality, but it gives you something to aim for. i'm sure it takes lots of work but it's worth it. It's less about 'manifestation' and more about being in the mindset to take the steps/changes to meet your goal. Great tips from Anna!

[@sophiebelleau6136]

Wow I actually cried imagining my dream life. Not only because it feels good to look inward, but because I realise how freaking close I am to that life. I have been feeling stagnant and worthless, forgetting all the work I have put on myself for years. I'm getting there, I just gotta be more patient and keep working ! THANK YOU ANNA !

[@VladaArt]

I feel you! I was sobbing too 💔

[@Digitalteardrop]

Exactly how I felt too. It was a powerful moment. We got this. We can get there.

[@dchang635]

damn. I shed tears, too.

[@CSFreya]

Did not expect to cry so much either. But after a horrible week at work I should have known better. It all started when she said imagine an alternative universe and the water works happened. Bc alternative me having all those desires…like why the hell should I have to imagine another universe when I can make it happen now in this one. This was lowkey super insightful and I appreciate it so much.

[@amykrug5811]

Broo I was crying too😂❤

[@shboomgirl]

As someone who manifested and got my dream job, I can tell you now that there are SO many other, possibly (and likely) much more important goals in life: To be part of a beautiful, strong community and support system. To be kind to others. To love bravely and without fear. To live some place that makes your soul sing every day when you look out of the window. To have plenty of time to enjoy your hobbies... and many more. Of course you can dream about and manifest a job you would love to do every day. All I'm saying is to focus on one very defined goal or "dream job" usually isn't the ticket to happiness most people think it is.

[@Mcmatthew99]

Many of us crave Success and Wealth but really what we want is the freedom to support our friends, the courage to travel, and time to satisfy our curiosity. It's much more efficient to go after what we really want

[@g.l.8329]

A job is not going to hug you when you feel sad, or take care of you when you're sick. To those who have found a job they love, congratulations, you're one of the lucky few. But work is work, happiness is so so much more than a dream job.

[@amykrug5811]

“To love bravely and without fear”…That is beautiful. it is very scary sometimes but also something that I truly want. ❤

[@chanuppuluri8726]

@@Mcmatthew99 that's a good point. Business Prof taught us in his A Life Of Happiness And Fulfillment course. Truly I did just want to have a life where I could support my loved ones and rejoice in their moments.

[@MidwestAppeals]

Lighting. Set Design. Editing. Fantastic work.

[@traveler-a113]

Really love that your first vid of the year is to help better ourselves. (I know that’s most of your vids, but this just hits very different, very personal)

[@sashaasashaa]

I started sobbing mid-meditation because I felt so much love, even looking back at myself now. You're amazing, Anna! Going on my list of gratitude for today💕💕

[@marianoella95]

It’s honestly a little scary for me to imagine my life the way that I truly want it, because I’ve spent so long being told (and telling myself) that what I want isn’t something that I could ever have or be. But just sitting here with my eyes closed and heart opened to whatever pops up was so beautiful and powerful! This was a wonderful first step to believing in my highest potential/self and taking that first step into the known unknown. Thank you for this amazing resource and I can’t wait to delve further into this journey over the year.

[@bigupyuself]

Good job!. Proud of you! 🤗👏

[@Jay_and_Meeka]

I have to say, this was hard for me. I've legitimately never asked myself this question, and I'm genuinely stumped. I have no idea what my dream life looks like.

[@anneabbas1222]

Thank you for posting, Anna!! 💜 Your clothing style is top tier just like you are!! 😭

[@andrea.dandelion]

I agree! I absolutely adore her outfit 💖✨️💙✨️💜✨️

[@SeelenTaucher]

Rainbow enfp Style 💖

[@khiaratt]

You really are our certified free therapist and we are oh so grateful Anna

[@madgem1133]

Your fits, your advice, your vibe. You're such an inspiration and I mean that very literally, thank you for the work you do, keep at it!

[@rockymegaman8496]

I plan on listening to this every morning to get me excited about my future and goals. These words light a fire in me. Thank you, Anna. You are so appreciated 🙏🏾

[@g.l.8329]

Same! Listening to this sets such a positive tone for the rest of the day

[@frappalina]

While meditating I started crying cause I saw myself of tomorrow looking back at me with such love and acceptance. It was so beautiful

[@andrea.dandelion]

Oh my god, it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I also started crying once I envisioned who and where and what my dream person was. I just felt like this dream version of me would feel so much relief

[@poizonali]

Me too, the visualisation practice was really great 🙃

[@kiaheat1920]

[@justinjablonski972]

Yesterday my inner voice gave me a spark of inspiration to meditate by a waterfall. So I honored the request: went for a walk on a nearby trail with a stream, found a spot with a little waterfall, sat down on a rock, and meditated by it. It was awesome! 🙏

[@KallmeAbigail]

I was feeling soo embarassed and unconfortable with myself because lately I’ve been hearing those “voices” and doing those silly requests like going to the cience museum. I’m trying really hard to shift my reality, and I felt like I started to lack as I were “wasting my time”, hearing you say that THAT in fact is a way of beeing in tune with myself and getting into a better mental place just made my day. Thank you AGAIN!

[@superman456]

Your outfit is dreamy💜

[@Kirk36Moshpit]

Probably the qualities I value the most would be the ones that help me travel the world, explore whatever I'm interested in, and have tons of fun, while also being competent and reliable enough that people know that if I'm there, everything's going to turn out all right. I also want to teach people to be that strong in their own way, one day. Thanks, Anna. Great way to start the day.

[@missnatcula]

Amazing outfit. Also I'm going through a transformation myself and I realize, you do decide the person you are and if you don't like being something you have the choice to stop that habit. Your reality is what you want it to be, to a point.

[@AnnaAkana]

Whoops fixed the link in the bio! The workbook is here: annaakana.shop/product/create-your-dream-life-guidebook

[@nokungfuforyou323]

So sad you are going the Andrew Tate con woman route. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIeTgH6lebWnb6s&ab_channel=BreakingPoints

[@kristenfong]

Is the guidebook a digital download or an actual book?

[@coppersense999]

Whoa! Did you say you can offer to price the workbook on a sliding scale for those of us with financial hardship? I love it, want to buy and participate so bad! 🙏

[@camilaarias9953]

Did the meditation. Made me cry to think how amazing being that person would be. Feeling motivated and inspired to keep going ♥️ Thank you so much for this, and everything you've shared with us over the years. You're a gem.

[@esthykechan]

honestly, I would listen to more meditations narrated by Anna.. her voice is so calming

[@CalebM_]

I completely forgot how meditation feels so good. Thank you for reminding me Anna.

[@jasminmin_]

This is very powerful. Your recent videos have been so helpful. Thank you for creating them and making it easy to understand. Really appreciate your work. You deserve the world 💜

[@victoriaporsiempre]

To everybody who reads this: please remember that you are worthy of your dreams! it doesn’t matter what others or your mind tells you and is never too late! ❤

[@ThomasHoellriegl]

Is this true for sadists, too?

[@Dexington429]

I did something similar with my therapist a while ago. It was nice to do it again and remember the person I'm working to become. Thanks Anna!

[@s.beccari4678]

That princess jasmine look is awesome

[@JAFOOSA]

Anna you're videos have been a joy to watch over the years. I love how honest you are, how vulnerable you are, and how sharing your insight through personal experience has helped so many people. Thank you for bringing yourself to the world!

[@Digitalteardrop]

Anna thank you for this. Looking back at myself in the meditation, all I could feel was how much I also loved this current version of me, sitting alone at her desk in her office, and I clearly saw how very hard she was working on bettering herself. I will keep moving forward. The dreams are not so far away. ❤

[@McMomfaceplustwo]

Like some others commenting, I cried while doing this and couldn’t say exactly why. Maybe it’s the gap between here and there, but also some tears of joys from the feeling of being in that life.

[@Ali_forward]

That outfit is fabulous, great accessorizing. 🔥

[@beingilluminous]

This is all so true, and has given me the strength to break free from a lot of toxic patterns and dynamics.... all of this is so reassuring to see out loud and confirmed by so many... and I adore your outfit.

[@whencamelliabloom_]

The Higher me is calm, patient, grateful, confident, and mindful. She is fit, she is happy, she is glowing and healthy.

[@KnaveMurdok]

This is crazy. I've been doing this meditation for like, ten years. Not this one exactly, but something very much like it. i did not know it had a name. I'd put a lot of effort into imagining my ideal self and think about all the things that that version of me did differently to get where they are and try hard to od those things in my waking life. There were times when it felt like it was pure escapism and I tried to keep myself from doing it, because I was worried it wasn't actually being productive and was instead distracting me from my goals. I've gone back and forth on it. I do have to say, though. My life has changed a lot in ten years.

[@Ambyycious]

Did the meditation and I'm shocked to find that most of the things I think I want have been programmed in me by society because we must have them. What I wanted was so simple and beautiful and I have been told repeatedly that it makes me less of a person to want that. Really helped me connect with my inner true 15 year old self, at the age of 25. Thank you. The very thought that if i could have anything i wanted? Imagine this is an alternate universe? So cool. We SHOULD be able to tap into different versions of ourselves from different universes.

[@chibiwhale6080]

I've watched you for years and watching you grow alongside me has helped me so much and your advice is always so well-timed

[@mykittenisagrandmaster4381]

Hola Miss Akana and everyone my dream life would be me knowing that everyone is peaceful and grateful for the life they have ❤

[@sarahhunt1439]

I can totally vouch for this approach. It has just worked wonders for me in therapy. 15 years of anxiety behind me now. Good luck to all who try it ❤️ There are genuine, transformative results right there for us all to unlock for ourselves.

I've recently taken up meditation, as well as embracing logic but still retaining my human emotions. It was fascinating to engage in this technique and it's given me some insight. Thank you Anna, you're a beautiful soul 🖖

[@kyle1732]

You are a gem! I’ve been looking for something just like this and here you are! As they say “Divine timing!” 😂

[@drebugsita]

It's the commit to showing up as your highest self everyday part for me. I can rattle off a list of attributes, etc but the actual work of showing up as that person is where I chicken out. That's the real work for me. Thank you for this work. And the geek in me looked up the declassified files. Amazing. Love your outfit, cosmic good feelings

Because I had a working holiday doing the thing I always wanted to do, it was very easy to imagine my goals. I did, however, bawl my eyes out when comparing the two

[@HaveyoumetMei]

U are everything i need in life sometimes🥰

[@kaiite]

As a disabled person, my dream life unfortunately isn't within myself, but it requires society to make some real structural changes in terms of accessibility. I will probably fight for disability justice my entire lifetime and not live long enough to be the beneficiary of those changes
