Do you ever feel stuck in a rut? Like you’re living the same day over and over? It’s time to break free and create the life you truly want. This post will guide you on how to change your personality, overcome negative patterns, and attract abundance.
Understand How Your Mind Works
Your thoughts have a huge impact on your future. If you think the same thoughts every day, your life will likely stay the same. Think of it this way:
- Same thoughts = Same choices
- Same choices = Same behaviors
- Same behaviors = Same experiences
- Same experiences = Same emotions
These emotions then drive your thoughts, creating a loop. This loop shapes your personality, which in turn creates your personal reality. To change your life, you need to change your personality by becoming aware of your thoughts, actions, and feelings.
Break Free From Your Past
Most people try to create a new life with the same old personality. But that doesn’t work. You have to become someone new. The brain cells that fire together, wire together. If you keep thinking and acting the same way, you strengthen those old connections in your brain. These patterns become hardwired, especially by the time you’re 35.
It’s like running a program on a computer. You’re stuck in a series of habits and reactions. To change, you need to step away from those programs. The problem is, change can be uncomfortable. People often prefer the familiarity of their old selves, even if it’s not ideal. They’d rather feel guilty than face the uncertainty of the unknown.
Strong emotions from past events can keep you stuck. The stronger the emotion, the more it freezes that moment in your mind as a memory. To move forward, you need to overcome the emotion attached to that memory.
Deal With Discomfort
Stepping into the unknown can be scary. Your body is used to the familiar. It wants to go back to those old feelings, even if they’re negative. It might tell you to wait until tomorrow or blame others for your problems. These are just programs trying to keep you in your comfort zone.
To break free, you need to observe these thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. You are not the program; you are the one watching it.
Meditation can help you become more aware of your thoughts, actions, and feelings. The more aware you are, the less likely you are to fall back into old patterns.
Challenge: Try meditating for a few minutes each day to start becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings.
Stay Conscious Throughout the Day
It’s not enough to have a good meditation and then go back to your old habits. You need to sustain that new state of mind throughout the day. If you can do that, you’ll start to see changes in your life. These changes might appear as coincidences or synchronicities, which are signs that you’re on the right path.
If you find yourself reacting to the same people or situations in the same old way, you’re slipping back into your old self. Stay conscious and choose a different response. If you’re not focused on a vision for the future, you’ll be stuck in the memories of the past.
Embrace the Unknown
Changing from your old self to your new self involves a death of sorts – a neurological, biological, and even genetic death of the old you. But if you know there’s something better on the other side, you won’t give up.
Remember: It’s never too late to change. You’re never too old, too sick, or too broken. Some of the most amazing transformations come from people who have never meditated before. The key is to go all in and fully commit to the process.
Value the Process
We often get attached to our old selves because of security, safety, and familiarity. We’ve been conditioned to believe that reality is what we see and feel with our senses. But that’s a limited view.
Ask yourself: Can you believe in a future you can’t yet see or experience? Can you think about it so much that your brain changes as if it’s already happened?
The answer is yes. By focusing on your future and embracing the emotions of that future, you can change your body and your life. You no longer have to chase after what you want. It starts coming to you.
Practice Makes Perfect
If you focus on your goals but don’t see results right away, don’t get discouraged. Stay connected to the feeling of your future. It takes practice, just like learning any new skill.
The goal is to make the act of creation a joyful, playful process. Take time to prove to yourself that you’re not defined by your past. Embrace the unknown and learn to regulate your emotions when you feel anxiety or frustration creeping in.
These are the moments that define you. Each victory over your old self brings you closer to becoming the person you’re meant to be.
How to Handle Emotions
Catching yourself falling back into old patterns is just the first step. You also need to deal with the heavy, trapping emotions that come with it. At the end of each day, ask yourself:
- How did I do today?
- Where did I fall short?
- What triggered me?
The next time you face a similar situation, plan how you’ll respond differently. Close your eyes and mentally rehearse what you’re going to do. This installs new hardware in your brain, making it a map for your future.
It’s more important than the news, emails, or talking about the past. Take a break from everything and practice. With experience, you’ll start to recognize the triggers and use tools to regulate your emotions.
Tip: When you feel overwhelmed, take a few deep breaths and connect to the energy of your future.
You Are Worthy
People who have had life-changing experiences often look back and wouldn’t change a thing. They see that all the tough moments led them to where they are now. They fall in love with the person they became through those struggles.
It’s not about the good meditations or the things that went well. It’s about the moments you overcame yourself. No one can take that away from you.
Once you reach that level and experience your dreams, keep going. Do it until you fully enjoy it. When it gets boring, move on to something else. That’s evolution.
Take Action Today
Don’t let your old self hold you back. Start today by becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings. Practice meditation, plan your responses to triggers, and embrace the unknown. You are capable of creating the life you desire.
