Hello you beautiful humans! Welcome to The Game of Life Podcast; I am Alexandria Burek and I am your host.

Thank you for picking my show; this show is a blend of personal stories and life lessons covering a wide range of topics that are designed to help you live life, a little better everyday; my goal in sharing this content is to inspire you to radically and unapologetically move through the world going after your big big dreams and living a life you LOVE. With that, no better time to get into it than the present. 

In today's episode, we are celebrating the start of August with the law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy. Today we are going to explore how our thoughts shape our reality. We will learn how to harness the power of our thoughts to create tangible outcomes that can improve every aspect of our lives simply by focusing on what we want. 

Personal Update:

My goal with the personal update is to put my money where my mouth is and lead by example. I often talk about the importance of making a mental note of our daily wins, taking a second to reflect on what we’re thankful for, and to spend some time developing our minds–this section is designed to be a source of inspiration for those behaviors and habits. With that, we will kick it off with wins.  

Wins: 

First, over the past weekend I was able to connect with a couple of people I work with who are FL natives. It was absolutely lovely to meet up with these guys, and their girlfriends, and even one of them brought his daughter. Truly great to spend that time and hang out with some familiar faces.               

Second, I always talk about asking yourself the question, “Where am I lacking order?” inspired by the book Open your Mind to Prosperity by Catherine Ponder–this book was featured on episode 38. One of the areas I noticed that I was lacking order lately, was on my phone. I am an avid user of the notes app on my phone. This is where I capture tidbits from Podcasts, or record the learnings from the books I am reading, how I do deep dive reflections while walking, and the list goes on. Anyway, as you can imagine, it got to be a bit overwhelming and I have embarked on a mission to systematically organize these notes so I can use the info. It's been absolutely great in so many ways–such a win! 

Third, I am really optimistic about my future. Things are going REALLY well with my side projects (aka all things other than my W2) and I have a feeling that the second half of this year is going to be incredibly amazing on all fronts. I am sincerely on the edge of my seat watching my life play out–so cool, such a WIN.       

Gratitude: I am thankful for the lessons I learned in past relationships and for the ones I will learn in this new one. I could not be more grateful or more optimistic about what's ahead in the relationship side of my life. 

Original Thought: Stop succumbing to comfort. Comfort kills growth. 

The 8th Law: The Law of Perpetual Transmutuation of Energy 

Lets get into the LAW OF PERPETUAL TRANSMUTATION OF ENERGY. This law states that energy is always in motion. Energy transforms. The energy of our thoughts translates into emotions that drive our actions which allows us to bring our thoughts into the physical. This law draws on the other laws we have covered in previous episodes. The law of perpetual transmutation of energy reflects the principles of the law of correspondence (for those of you who didn’t catch that episode or are not necessarily familiar, the law of correspondence explains that our outer world is a reflection of our inner world–this is made possible by the perpetual transmutation of energy). 

One simple, relatable example everyone has experienced with the perpetual transmutation of energy is the many forms water can come in. As we change the speed of energy of water, it TRANSFORMS from ice, to water, to steam, and if sped up enough, it will become gas and “evaporate” into the air–but the energy is not lost. 

So, how can we use this to our benefit? As I routinely cover, we need to choose our thoughts wisely. This is easier said than done. For example, when I am walking my dogs, it's instinctual to think “I don’t want my dogs to pull” or “I don’t want my dog to try and sniff that person” as we walk by–BUT the breakthrough is choosing thoughts of what I do want them to do. I have been experimenting with this a lot lately on our walks throughout St. Pete. When I see something that may cause my dogs to react, I am retraining my brain to think about how calm my dogs are. When I do this, it truly works. When I slip up and say to myself, “I don’t want my dogs going after these people or that dog” they do that. This is because of the transmutation of energy from my thoughts to their behavior in the physical. I have even experimented with this by thinking about where I want my dogs to walk at given times on our walk, I concentrate my energy on where I want them to walk, and they did this, time and time again–it felt like a super power. 

If my thoughts can have this amazing effect on my dogs behavior–imagine what we can create with the power of our thoughts and emotions. Another example of this is with some software I am developing. I had an idea come to me. I was excited and optimistic about it (my emotions about the idea were positive and aligned), then by no coincidence, I was listening to a podcast which revealed to me that you could vibe code (essentially speak into existence using english, apps via AI Coding bots). This energy of the idea translated into action–I explored the development platform and experimented with it. A month and a half later, I have a team of people rallying behind this idea, I have an app that is 80% functional. This is all because of the transmutation of energy and my overall alignment. 

The law of perpetual transmutation of energy has 5 key principles: 

-Energy is dynamic (meaning energy is always shifting forms, for example from thoughts to outcomes)

-Thoughts are energy (meaning the thoughts you think carry energy that influences your reality. Like attracts like. Positive energy attracts opportunities, synchronicities, and people. Negative thoughts attract challenges, problems, and sickness)

-Intentional direction (by focusing your thoughts on the outcomes you want to achieve or attract, it will DIRECT your energy and align the people, places, and events to ensure you get the desired results. But you need to focus. 

-Universal flow (everything is interconnected through energy, and energy is constantly transmuting). 

-Continuous Process (small shifts in energy create BIG changes overtime that compound)

So using the example of the business idea I just gave, lets examine how the five key principles are at play. 

-Energy is dynamic (the idea I had shifted from simply an idea, to an actual product that you can physically interact with on the computer)

-Thoughts are energy (because I was optimistic and at my core believed in the idea, it led me to share it with a select few people who rallied behind me and are helping me to create momentum behind this–additional positive energy creating even bigger results to come)

-Intentional direction (because I am focused on bringing this to life, people, places, and events are supporting the desired results of bringing this into existence) 

-Universal flow (in a very short time, the app has shifted from an undeveloped idea, to a very basic mock up, to a semi-functional platform with advanced features, to its current state: an actual business complete with a founder, sales team, and developer ready to GTM). 

-Continuous Process (all of these developments have taken place as a result of tiny little shifts that have COMPOUNDED to this current state)

So how can we use this law in the different ordinary areas of our lives. If you are not an entrepreneur and that is not your jam, that's cool, I am going to lay out some of the other ways you can use this law as a super power to make your life AMAZING for YOU.  

We can use this in personal development and goal setting–everyone has SOMETHING they want to improve or work towards–use the law of perpetual transmutation of energy to bring your dreams to life. Pick one goal. Let’s say it's around a new habit you want to bring into your routine. Spend time each day visualizing that habit as a part of your routine–direct your mental energy towards this goal. As a result of visualizing it, and maybe even writing it out and putting it somewhere you see it everyday, you will start to make these little shifts in your daily routine that move towards bringing that habit into your life. 

If it’s not personal development for you, maybe there is a relationship you want to improve or attract. Spend some time each day expressing gratitude for how GREAT the relationship is, or what went well in that department. Maybe it’s a decision, like I made last week, and you DECIDE that finding your forever partner doesn’t need to be hard, decide that it's easy; commit to the idea that it's possible for you. If you go the gratitude route with an existing, you are going to create MORE of what you focus on–let it be what's going WELL. If you are trying to get into a relationship, make a decision–COMMIT to the idea, that it is possible AND easy for you. Watch the flow of the universe put you in places with people who ensure you get into that relationship.   

Maybe there is some career path you are interested in exploring, or a creative side you would like to nurture. Spend some time thinking about this new career path, and ask yourself, who could you talk to about it? As you simply explore these opportunities, you will build momentum, the momentum will translate into real life results that will lead to a new career path. 

As I am writing this–I just had an epiphany: I have been THINKING the wrong things about my career. Beginning today, August 7th, I am going to do a little experiment with my career. I am going to CHANGE the focus of my energy and see how it pans out. Join me. Focus on the job you want. Seek out the people who are doing that, or adjacent to that career path and watch what unfolds with each step you take. 

If you’re interested in the creative side, apply the same idea. Connect with people who are doing the thing you’re interested in. Learn about it. Take a class. Join a community. Practice the thing you want to do and just see what happens after a month of focused attention on this new creative outlet. 

I could go on forever about how to use this law to benefit and drastically change your life, but I think there is plenty to play with. 

Get out in the world. Be focused. Think about what you want–and not what you don’t. Just keep building momentum.
