HOW TO CHANGE THE STORY YOU TELL YOURSELF

Let me ask you a question, and I want you to try and be really open and honest with yourself when you answer. Have you ever said the following or words similar to the ones below?

“I can’t do that because [INSERT].”

“I am so [INSERT] but it’s just the way it is.”

“That’s who I am, this is how it goes.”

“Nothing good ever happens to me”

“I’ll never be free of [INSERT]. ”

Do you constantly find yourself making excuses, so you don’t have to face the realities of what might change if you were totally open and honest about how you felt? Have you been in this victim mode for so long that you no longer know how to exist differently?

I was where you are. I used to constantly tell myself that nobody understood and that they just didn’t get it. Poor me. I’d constantly refer to my emotional eating behaviors as something I was “battling” or that I was at “war” with myself, but nobody was putting me in that position except for me.

Every day I chose to be the victim to my own struggles and fight my own fight. It was the story that I was comfortable in and I couldn’t see the way out, until one day I realized that at any given moment I could choose to rewrite my story.

When I chose to start believing that I no longer had to fight for freedom and that all I had to do was BE free and just remember that I had been all along, life started changing.

We can continue to tell ourselves a hundred reasons why we should not or cannot do something, but all we are doing then is perpetuating our old stories and beliefs and ingraining them into our psyche that we then start to feel that there is no other way to live.

But, I am here to tell you that in every single moment of every single day, a chance to rewrite your story and be that person you have always desired to be.

Do you want to start exercising again?
Do you want to make more time for journalling?
Do you want to meditate more?
Do you want to make space for love to come in?
Do you want to be SO FULL of what lights you up that nothing can drag you back down?

Then…

CHOOSE to change and make the space for it to happen!

CHOOSE a different story! After all, YOU are the author.

Choose freedom over control.
Choose love over hate.
Choose ease over struggle.
Choose peace over war.
And just watch miracles gradually begin to overflow your life.

You are the creator of your own universe, the author of your own story. You deserve to stop living like the victim of your circumstances, and be the hero of your life instead!

Your time is now.
