Changing Our Story

Every single moment of every single day is a chance to rewrite your life story. What happened in the past is not YOU right now. It might help shape you into who you are right now and teach you lessons to help you become a better person than you were five minutes ago. But you have the power to change all of that right now, this very second. The first thing you need to change is your emotions.

Live each day in a very happy, go-lucky state. No complaining. And notice how things change for you much easier than they ever have. When you complain about something, it constantly manifests what you are complaining about to stay in your life. You hate your job and you say that every day, the Universe will conspire to keep you in that job. But if you love your life and know things are getting better and better every day, no matter what the circumstances are, the Universe will reward you with those good things you think about.

It really is that simple to change your life: CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

I challenge you to go for 24 hours without complaining once. And notice all of the good changes in your life. Don't complain silently in your head or outloud to another person. Don't use any negative words: I can't, I won't, I shouldn't, I couldn't, etc. Use only positive phrases: I love my life. I love my job. I love my family. I love being outdoors. I am achieving my dreams and goals. I am healthy and happy. My life is amazing.

The more you use the positive words, the more positive will manifest into you life. And you can continue to change your story more and more because you have the faith that you can change your story each and every day. I've seen posts about not being the same person I was just 2 months ago. When you work to change your story, like I have and so many others I know, you aren't the same person you were 2 months ago. You are changing that story, not letting your past define you, valuing what you have and what you can give, and just living a very positive life. My life changes more and more each day and I absolutely love it! I love change and I love having new people and situations in my life every day. It helps me grow as a person and learn new things. And you can do this too!

Vision Board Magic

Recently, I have decided that I need to redo my vision board. I am going to make them into three separate boards - one for professional, one for personal, and one for my "I AM"s. I'm the type of person that is super organized and I'm not a fan of chaos. Well, I feel my current vision board is quite chaotic. While there may have been a method originally when I was putting up the pictures, there isn't anymore.

I add to my vision board when I see something I need to add. My vision boards don't have an expiration date. No vision board should actually have an expiration date. You can't determine when something is going to happen. Everything happens when it happens and for a reason. I don't believe in coincidences. I believe things happen for a reason and exactly as they should. It's not always good stuff that happens. But I also believe that when the bad stuff happens, it's the universe's way of saying "I told you so and now I made it happen. You didn't listen before. Now maybe you'll listen better."

Ever since my life got turned upside down several months, I've had this belief. I've always believed in the no coincidences, but it's the bad stuff belief that changed. The universe will give you messages and signs, but so often we overlook those messages and signs until the universe finally forces it upon us in the way of bad stuff. But my heart is still beating, I am still breathing, I am standing here today and I am happy that I have this amazing life, that is sometimes messed up and nothing goes right, but it is still amazing and I appreciate every moment I have to make this the best life I can.

I read books and blogs about changing your way of thinking, changing your perspective and eventually changing your life. And I know in both my head and my heart that nothing happens overnight, but there are so many things that I really wish would happen overnight. And I know vision boards work. They don't work instantly, there is very little that is instantaneous in this life. You just have to have faith, trust and believe that everything will work out the way that it is supposed to. I have that faith, belief and trust, but every once in a while, I lose it, because like all of you, I am human. And I can only take so much bad stuff happening at a time. So when all this happens, I need a new perspective, so I change things around. That is my ultimate reason for doing new vision boards - I need a new perspective. I need new magic in my life.

Trust.Believe.HaveFaith. Life is amazing, no matter how messed up it is, no matter what goes right or wrong. It is amazing and to be appreciated. When something bad happens, life still goes on.
