I want to talk with you today about this idea that says, Everything Is Unfolding For You.
Your divinity set into motion this human-journey. A creator by nature you came fully supported, eager and ready to live this life, knowing that it is was all working in your favor. This gift of life is all unfolding before you with ease, thought-by-thought and moment-by-moment. You are the creator of your reality, the author of your story and the main character that gets to experience it all.
Your desires set into motion feelings. When you are in alignment with your essential truth and the source within you these feelings become daydreams and you can start to feel as if it’s there even before it is. All of the energy and momentum created by those thoughts and feelings meet with source energy and offer you inspired thought. That inspired thought leads to inspired action until the desire becomes reality.
When you focus outside of your story it can be easy to step out of alignment with your truth. You may find yourself making someone else’s story your point of reference. Distracted by comparisons you loose sight of your own power to create. An illusion of separation fogs the creation process. Where you were designed to have playfulness and joy as you create, fear sneaks in tries to convince you that is hard and unfair.
If life feels unfair and you find yourself comparing your life to another person’s don’t worry. You always have the power to come back home to the truth within you. So let’s start to shift your focus back in that direction.
Here are a few of the typical thoughts that might be sneaking in if life feels unfair or you have been playing the comparison game.
- Life is unfair and what I want is really far away.
- They seem to have it better then me.
- It seams easier for them but hard for me.
- I want what they have but I can’t seem to get it.
- Because I don’t have it now, that means it must be off limit to me.
None of these thoughts feel good when you think them. It will never feel good to resist or push against your truth.
It’s important to understand that thoughts like these are separate from who you are.
You may think them, and they may feel very real to you in the moment, but they don’t actually define you, and they are not essential to who you are.
Thoughts like these try to limit your truth and make you feel smaller and less then how you were designed to feel and be in your life. It is for this reason I like to call them out as limiting beliefs.
Now beliefs are a repetitive pattern of thinking that creates focus and momentum that leads you forward to wherever it is you find yourself in life. That’s right you are creating your life one thought at a time.
There are beliefs aligned with your truth that feel supportive and fortifying as you think them. When you focus on them they get you feeling really good about your life, and it feels as if they plug you right into that source energy.
And there are beliefs like the ones we just mentioned that put limits on your truth and feel negative as you think them. They can send you into an emotional tailspin as they pull your focus off your truth and onto things you have no power to change.
There are many ways to pick up a limiting belief. People who are limited in their own beliefs may have handed them down to you. They try to convince you of what your reality should be according to their limitation. Often in our own uncertainty it doesn’t take much for us to believe it to be true.
It can also happen when a situation comes into your life with a lot of negative energy behind it. When you find yourself in a negative repetitive experience it’s also really easy to adopt limiting beliefs.
No matter how you pick up the limiting beliefs they always contradict your essential truth, and they never feel good as you think them.
So what if you are tired of thinking thoughts that feel bad and you want to think thoughts that feel better? It is totally within your power. That’s the great thing about beliefs; because they are simply thoughts that you think over and over again, and you absolutely you have the power to change them.
I like to call this process re-patterning. For me activating a process that I can move through feels like it gives me my power back. There are endless ways of going about re-patterning, but the important thing to remember is it all happens one thought at a time.
Your first job is notice the negative thought that is causing you discomfort. They are the indicators that you are out of alignment with your truth. Call it out so that it can no longer run on repeat in the background of your thinking.
As you bring your conscious awareness to the thought and you can see that it is not aligned with your truth, your next job is to stop believe what it’s telling you.
That’s right you don’t have to believe the thoughts runny through your head, especially if they don’t feel good. When you do this it slows down the momentum, energy, and emotion that it has been carrying with it. You were never meant to believe limiting thoughts; you were designed to use them to feel your way back to your truth.
Once you have the limiting belief isolated and you can see it for what it is, then you start to make room for a new idea to emerge. This is where you redirect your thought and feel your way back to your truth.
Let’s say you have a thought that tells you that life is unfair and what you want is really far away. What if you take the limitation off that belief? What would you have then?
You might find a thought that says something more like; it is all unfolding for me. A thought like this neutralizes some of the fear that was tucked into the limiting thought. Then you might be able to reach for a thought like; it is all working for me. That one is plugged right into your truth. Life is happening for me not to me; helps you shift your point of reference back to your truth. That could lead to a thought like; there can be ease in my life as I stay focused on my own story and stay open and ready to receive.
Then you start to really feel yourself coming back when you reach for a thought like; I am the writer and main character of my story and I can focus on the feelings of having anything that I desire right now in this moment, even before it shows up in my life.
Start to play with the feelings behind new thoughts like these. Really tap into them and feel what it would feel like if you were living your life from this place. As you turn your focus towards the truth you naturally begin to unplug from the limiting belief.
Put your mind and energy there as often as possible. Stop replaying the nightmare feeling over and over again and start daydreaming about how you really want to feel, and who you want to be in each moment.
When you activate thought like these, it helps you create a deeper language for your desire and your truth. It helps you keep your focus on where you want to be.
This is why it’s so valuable not to react, repress, or rebel from the limiting beliefs, but rather use them. When you stop taking direction from them and get curious instead, you allow them to help you create language for your truth. From this place you will find yourself having a very different kind of experience.
So let’s focus on thoughts more aligned with your truth and call them out as your new pattern of thinking.
- Everything is unfolding for me.
- It is all working in my favor.
- Life is happening for me not to me.
- There can be ease in my life, as I stay focused on my own story, I am open and ready to reactive.
- I am the writer and main character of my story. When I stay focused on my story and my alignment with my truth, my desires lead to inspired feelings, then inspired thought, then inspired action, until it is created before me.
- I can focus on the feelings of having anything that I desire, now in this moment, long before it shows up.
Thoughts like these are more aligned with your truth, and there is a beautiful sense of freedom that comes with your truth. So get curious about your thoughts and feeling. Take a second or third look to make sure they are the ones you really want to be thinking and feeling. And remember it all changes one thought at time!
I want to focus on some things that will help you as you re-pattern your thoughts.
Intention setting has two very powerful jobs in your life. One job is to consciously claim what it is you want. The second job is to act as a check-in to your point of reference. That way when something coming into your life you can see if it is in alignment with your intention. If it is, wonderful, and if it is not you can kick that sucker to the curb.
I am going to offer you one but feel free to have fun and come up with one of your own. I would start your day with it, and then return to it as many times as you need to. Put it somewhere in your bathroom so you see it first thing in the morning. Or put it on your nightstand, in your car or by your coffee pot.
“My intention is to watch my thoughts with compassion and to reach for thoughts throughout my day the feel good to me. My intention is to feel good, and I will use my thought to help me get there.”
Another thing that really helps as you re-pattern your thoughts is giving yourself permission.
Permission is a huge thing that often gets overlooked. Self-permission can feel like opening a door that was once closed to you because it eases up on the resistance. It helps you claim the power to do or not do what your heart really wants.
So we are going to put some conscious awareness to self-permission because you are 100% worth it! Like the intention I will start you off, but you can really run free with this and create endless space for yourself.
“I give myself permission to believe that it is all working in my favor and unfolding before me. I give myself permission to focus on my story and write it the way that feels good to me.”
It feels pretty good right?
Remember Re-patterning is all about changing your focus to support the new patterns of thinking that are aligned with your truth. It all happens one thought at a time. So watch those thoughts as they come in and choose the ones that feel better. These micro adjustments give you back your power.
An additional trick that I love to help build up those new patterns of thinking, is to flood your mind with outside sources that are similar to your new thoughts. An idle mind will always tend to go back to what it knows best. So keep it moving down those new lines of thinking with things like these:
- Listen to podcasts of people who are focused where you want to go while you are driving, running errands, exercising, or while you are doing things around the house.
- Watch videos of people who inspire you to deepen into those new patterns of thinking or are living them for you to see play out, while you are getting ready or are cooking.
- Watch a movie that reinforces your new pattern of thinking and can help you see the positive truths play out before you.
- Write those truths out as many times as you can and then go back and reread them often! When you write things down it helps your brain prioritize what you want it to focus and act on. Reading activates the mind in a similar way but sets your imagination into action at the same time. So prioritize and set your imagination into action on those truths!
- Tell an inner circle friend that you trust what you are working to re-pattern so that you have someone to help you get excited and they can celebrate with you as all the new experiences that match your newly activated truth come into your life.
