Time to change your story

2016 is now here. As with the start of each new year, we tend to make resolutions about things we want to change in our lives. The most common areas to make changes are to stop smoking, change your diet and exercise more to get in shape. But there are other notable changes that are important to make in our lives in order to have a phenomenal year.

It is called writing your new story, or writing your life as you would like it to be, believing that you can create exactly that which you desire in your life with ease. The way to do this is by taking some time in a quiet space away from distraction, getting comfortable, with a tea or coffee if you like, your journal or notebook, a pen or two, and then take time to think about what kind of life you would like to create. Do you want to move to a new house? Would you desire a house with a bigger yard for a garden? Would you like to go on an exotic vacation? Perhaps it is time for a new car? Have you been thinking about moving to another province, or another country perhaps? Maybe you would like to meet the man or woman of your dreams? Someone that is kind, caring, compassionate, loving, funny and tender. Whatever, or whoever it is that you would like to bring into your life, write a play about it, with you being the main character. Act as if you can be, do or have anything you desire, with no limits.

This is a very powerful exercise and I know this from first hand experience in my own life. When I was tired of being in a loveless marriage for 15 years, when I spent my days unhappy and without purpose, when I knew that I just needed to redo everything in my life, I re-wrote my life's play. This exercise is like placing your order in a restaurant. When you order your cheeseburger and fries, you ask the waiter to please add extra pickles, hold the onion rings, and please add a side of mustard. This play you write for your life is the same concept. You need to have a very clear vision of what it is you want to have show up in your experience. You need to be specific and detailed about everything you wish to change, and keep it in a positive manner.

The reason you write it down is two-fold. One reason is to be clear to your subconscious mind that it is time to make changes and this is what you are working towards. The other is that you put your order in to the Universe, or Source, or God. It makes your intentions more profound and gives you something to work towards. The Universe will meet you half way, or more than half way, as long as you are working to do your part. When you co-create your life with the Universe, and trust and believe in the process, knowing all is well, you will see notable changes happen. For me, these changes happened quickly. In less than a year, my life is so totally different than what it was last year. I was at my breaking point with how my life was, but i never gave up hope and faith that it would get better. You just have to believe that there is more to this life than what you are aware of.

Once you write your play, your life as you would like it to be, you need to read it daily, which simply allows your subconscious to absorb your story. Then you need to take action steps towards your goals, no matter how small the steps, as long as you are moving toward what it is that you desire. Perhaps that means contacting that person whose name keeps popping into your head. Maybe it means going to your favorite coffee shop in the afternoon instead of the morning and you start a conversation with someone that leads you to another clue that unlocks your future. There are so many combinations of synchronistic events that can take you where you need to go, lead you to meet who you need to meet, and help you build the life you desire and deserve.

Are you ready for a great year? Ready for some positive changes to come into your experience? We are all deserving and worthy of a great life simply because we are here and for no other reason. So pull out all the stops and write an amazing life story! Be grand and write about the unimaginable just for the fun of it! Believe it, know it, and feel how great it feels every day! Start living your life as if those dreams have already happened. You need to live them in your mind first, feel the feelings in your mind first, and then pay attention to your outer world and watch it change. When I look back at my life now, as I wrote my book, I am so amazed at all the changes I have experienced! And is such a short amount of time too! There are days that I simply think about something and within a few hours that thought becomes manifest and real in my experience.

Life is supposed to be easy and fun. So turn the negative to positive, sad to happy, miserable to fun and start enjoying life. Make your life easy by knowing your truth and being who you are meant to be. Dream about your life and then make it so. Listen to your intuition, (yes, we all have it), and follow where it tells you to go. It really is that simple! Lighten up on yourself, be easy and loving with yourself, and create a fabulous year! This not only makes life great for you, but also for everyone around you. Go on, make a wonderful story and live a great life. You deserve it!!
