I want to talk with you today about this idea that Love Flows Easily Into Your Life.
As an extension of the divine source energy of love, love in its purest form, flows through every cell of your being. That’s right your divinity wove love and all of its incredible qualities right into the fabric of your humanity. Love it fundamental to you so you cannot be separated from it and it cannot be separated from you. Isn’t that incredible?
The world around you a mirror that this love within you. It reflects back to you that which you are. You are designed to receive, create and experience love in the most profound, joyful, fun and enthusiast ways. That is the nature of love, to be ever expanding and multiplying in all of its miraculous wonder.
When you aren’t tapped into this love within you, everything can start to feel off. The reflection of love from the world around you can feel really far away or tangled up in suffering and disappointment. You can start to feel cut off from getting the love that you desire in your love relationships, love between family members or love between friends. It’s really easy to slip into a place where you start wonder what is wrong with you and from there momentum builds and you increasingly feel less that what you really are. As this kind of doubt creeps in, it clouds your essential truth, divine worthiness and the love that is fundamental to you.
Do not worry; there is power and opportunity in every aspect of your story, even places like this that don’t feel so good. I don’t want you to get stuck in a place like this but rather using it to help you realign with your truth.
If love isn’t flowing into your life easily here are a few typical thoughts that you might find sneaking in:
- What is wrong with me?
- Why can’t I get the love that I want?
- What am I doing wrong to make them leave or treat me like this?
- Maybe I just don’t deserve love.
- I feel so unlovable.
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.
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.
There are beliefs aligned with your truth that feel supportive and fortifying as you think them. When you focus on them they feel really good and bring with them positive energy that washes over you.
And there are beliefs like the ones we just mentioned that put limits on your truth and feel negative and restrictive as you think them. They can send you into an emotional tailspin because they are plugged into the energy of fear rather then your essential truth of love.
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, and often in our own uncertainty we take it really believe it to be true.
It can also happen when a situation comes into your life with a lot of negative energy behind it. It is super easy to adopt limiting beliefs when you find yourself in a repetitive experience that is negative.
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, you absolutely you have the power to change them.
I like to call this process re-patterning. For me a process always makes me feel like I have actions that I can take in the right direction, and that feels super powerful. Now there are endless ways of going about re-patterning, but the important thing to remember is it 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. When you do this it slows down the momentum, energy, and emotion that it has been carrying with it. After all, you were never meant to believe it but use it 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 there must be something wrong with you and that you are unlovable. What if you take the limitation off those beliefs? What would you have then? You might find a thought that says something like, “there is nothing wrong with me and I am lovable.”
What if you then took even more of the limiting language out of the thought? You might find something like, “there are so many things right with me and I am love, it is woven through every cell of my being.” As you keep turning your focus inward to your truth you may notices the limiting beliefs drift into the distance allowing those thought that feel better to flood in.
Then you might reach for a thought like, as I focus my attention on the love that I am, I will get to create an extension of that love with other out in the world. And that step right back into your worthiness with a thought like, I am worthy of creating, experiencing and receiving love.
As you stay curious about your thoughts that feel more aligned with your truth, feel your way into them.
What would it feel like to freely be love and create love? Then picture yourself there where the love is flowing out of you and into your life. Who would you be if you were living from this place? How does it feel to be that person?
Really let yourself daydream about it. Feel yourself having fun enjoying all the aspects of love.
Put your mind and energy there as often as possible.
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 what you want and how good it feels.
This is why it’s so valuable not to react, repress, or rebel from the limiting beliefs, but rather use them as the indicators they were designed to be. When you stop taking direction from them and get curious instead, you allow them to help you create language for your truth as they help you create language for where you want to go. From this place you will find yourself having a very different kind of experience.
So let’s use some of the limiting beliefs we called out before to help us find some new patterns of thinking.
- There are so many things right with me.
- I am love; it is woven through every cell of my being.
- The love I want can flow easily into my life because it is a reflection of the love within me.
- As I focus my attention on the love that I am, I will get to create an extension of that love with other out in the world.
- I am worthy of creating, experiencing and receiving love.
- Creating love with others can be as easy as breathing and as fun as playing.
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.
Here is one for you to try out.
“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 fully own the love that is woven through my being. I give myself permission to know that I am worthy of creating, experiencing and receiving great love, as it easily flows into my life.”
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 trains of thought 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.
