What's Your Story?

Isn’t it interesting that when you pause to reflect on your life up to this point, you notice that you’re indeed the author of your own story? Every desire, every choice, every decision has lead you to this point in your life. So, then, the question is … what do you want the next chapters in your book to include? And how can you make sure that the desires, choices and decisions you make are going to lead you there?

Thoughts & Prayers - Every thought you have is sent out as a prayer … you’re praying every moment of every day. Recognize the false beliefs you have in your thought process that don’t serve you and remove them. Tell yourself (over and over again) that this thought doesn’t serve you and is now being deleted. Then, use inspiration to identify your desires. Pay attention to all the things available to you in this world and notice your preferences. Once you’re inspired by the things you prefer, tune into your desires based on your preferences and then design your thoughts to be in alignment with them. Tell yourself (over and over again) that this thought serves you and is now being repeated. Thoughts and words are like a seed planted in the human mind to grow. Be impeccable with your thoughts and words. This is the first step to writing the chapter you want in your book … create the life you desire first with your thoughts and words. 

Intention & Focus – Just with intention alone, you can expand your mind. Focus and imagine that which you desire actually being in your life. Create affirmations to solidify your desires and use your imagination to strengthen the visual image of them coming into being. Take advantage of the “sweet spot” for imagining what you desire. At night, right before falling asleep when our conscious mind is relaxing is one sweet spot. The other is in the morning, just at the moment between sleep and waking. Use these times to infuse your imaginings into your subconscious mind. Be focused but also patient. When you’re birthing a new way of living, it takes time for it to mature. Keep being focused even though nothing seems to be happening. It is.

Devotion & Action – When you devote yourself to this process of co-creation (along with our Creator) and move in the world with awareness of yourself, you strengthen the belief that every desire you have, every choice you make, will come to fruition. Focus in on the next small step in the direction of your desires. Energy moves with decision-making. So you must take action to move your desires forward. When choices present themselves in your day, choose what brings you closer to your desires … and closer to the story you want to create.

Does this sound like work? Think about this … which is harder? Frustration, unhappiness, feeling incomplete like something’s missing in your life and a lack of what you desire? Or going through the process outlined above?

One is haphazard and disjointed. The other is being in the creative, harmonious and synchronistic flow of your life. Whichever you choose, you’re the author of your book … you’re creating it.

There may be times when you get writer’s block and just let life happen to you. Be aware when this happens and pivot to re-center yourself into this process. This is where self-awareness is really important; so you not only know when you’re off center, but also understand what got you there.

Why write an uninspiring book when you can write a masterpiece? One that’s enjoyed through the ages as a beautiful life story … an inspirational, shining example of a life well lived. You choose!

hanks forsdc sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
