I want to talk with you today about this idea that You Have Infinite Opportunities To Create.
This life that is unfolding before you offers you infinite opportunities to create. Your divinity set your humanity into motion and wove through it divine essential truth to guide you along the way. A creator by nature you can’t help but create the reality before you thought-by-thought and moment-by-moment. You are ever growing and expanding through this creative process of life.
You are the author of your story and the main character experiencing it all. You have the power to reach for thought and change the course of creation. You always have the ability to reach for thoughts that feel good until my feelings and thoughts feel inspired. From that inspired place you will find inspired action that will feel like your logical next step.
Sometimes you loose sight of what is possible. You forget that with every thought you are creating the reality you see before you. You may find negative thoughts and feeling creeping in, but do not pigeonhole yourself into believing you are the negative feeling that you are experiencing. There is no right or wrong, no pass or fail, miss-step, wrong move or mistake when it comes to the creation process. There are just infinite opportunities to create.
It’s ok if your focus has been off, but try not to get stuck in the hard parts, instead let’s use moments like these to find our way back to the truth.
Here are some thoughts that might have snuck in if you feel like you have been getting it wrong:
- I keep messing up and getting it wrong.
- I feel like I am failing.
- Why can’t I get it right?
- No one else is making this many mistakes in their lives.
- I am a bad: friend, partner, parent, sibling, co-worker, human…
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 for what they are, limiting beliefs.
Beliefs are a repetitive pattern of thinking. Patterns of thinking create focus and momentum. This is what 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 get you feeling all jazzed up about your life. You feel expansive because you are plugged right into source energy.
There are also the limiting beliefs like the ones we just mentioned. They put limits on your truth and feel negative as you think them because they are literally depressing and putting down your truth. They can send you into an emotional tailspin as they unplug your focus from that inner source energy of life.
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. Or when you find yourself in a negative repetitive experience a limiting belief can easily be adopted.
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 gives me my power back. There are endless ways of going about it, 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. These thoughts 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.
Your next job is to stop believe what the thought is telling you. That’s right you have the power to stop believe the negative thought you are thinking! I mean come on this is huge!
When you do this it slows down the momentum, energy, and emotion behind it. You were never meant to believe it anyway, you were meant to have it lead you 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 you keep messing up and getting it all wrong. What if you take the limitation off that belief? What would you have then? You might find a thought that says something like; you have infinite opportunities to create.
A thought like this eases up on the limiting belief that try to tell you that you can get it wrong. Then you might be able to reach for a thought that says life is unfolding before me with ease thought-by-thought and moment-by-moment. That may lead to a thought like; I am the creator of my reality, the author and main character of my story. Then you might remember that you always have the power to reach for thoughts that feel better.
As you plug back into your truth start to think about how it would feel to keep reaching for those thoughts that feel good. Start daydreaming about how good your life can feel and be. Let yourself take ownership as a creator, and feel the power in it.
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 and not on the places and limiting beliefs that had been holding your attention.
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 use some of the limiting beliefs we called out before to help us find some new patterns of thinking.
- My life offers me infinite opportunities to create.
- Life is all unfolding before me with ease, thought-by-thought and moment-by-moment.
- I am the creator of my reality. As the author and main character of my story, I have the power to choose my thoughts and how I feel.
- I always have the power to reach for thoughts that feel good.
- From my place of inner alignment, inspired thoughts find me and allow me to take inspired action forward.
- I am ever growing and expanding through this creative process of life.
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 guard 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 your 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 see my life as an endless opportunity to create. I will focus on what feels good as I give myself permission to step into my power to create one thought and feeling at a time.”
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.
