A World of Your Choosing

It's been a while since I've written. And by a while I mean over a year lol. So needless to say, it's nice to sit and write with you today. My life lately has been riddled with creativity and re-imagining at every corner. I feel this deep feeling of questioning old patterns, old beliefs and old ways of being, and this deep desire to take stock of myself and evolve. Call it shadow work, call it deepwork, whichever term could fit. It's really just a desire to live out a life as my dream person. I think when we desire to have a certain life or want certain things out of life, we must first take stock of ourselves. Cause what I've learned through the work I've done in the past 2 years on myself is that I must first change my inner world to see what I truly desire in my outer world. I've found that when my inner world is balanced and rooted on a firm foundation, how I show up in the exterior world as my best most authentic, loving, confident self, only reflects back to me in the most loving way. We are mirrors to the world. We are our own mirrors in our own individual universes. I think each person is a universe and in a sense we each live in a different universe of our own making. And we get to choose the universe we live in, cause it is simply our inner world. For example, what we think, our inner dialogue, how we observe, what we let into our pysche, our individual traumas, memories good and bad, prior conditioning; all of that makes up our inner worlds. So we get to choose positive inner dialogue over negative, we get to choose to heal traumas, or re-program our minds. Simply, we choose.

Have you ever noticed when you're feeling good about yourself, say you have the coziest outfit on that makes you feel pretty, or you just finished doing an activity you love and you're feeling confident, then you have an inner desire to smile at a random stranger because your day is going so well. You just have an inner feeling of happiness/contentment and overall confidence. Then throughout your day you keep noticing that positive things keep happening to you. You attract good conversations with strangers, maybe someone does something kind for you out the blue, or you just hear positive news. What's happening is your brain is simply noticing the positive in your immediate world because that is what you are FOCUSED on. Some call this phenomenon "frequency illusion", others call it "selective attention". What this means is that your mind is continually creating a positive day and positive experience because you feel good internally and are focused on that "feel good energy". It is so powerful and I've witnessed it time and time again. Now imagine if we chose this everyday, if that was just our state of being. Now of course life ebbs and flows, and low emotions come, as that is a neccessary, inevitable and healthy part of life. But feel those emotions, then let those low emotions flow, don't let them tightly grip to you. That is a part of the choosing.

So I encourage you to take stock today of your inner world, i.e. yourself. How can you become your dream person? What world do you want to live in? Start from within.

With Love,
