I’ll tell you one of the best parts of being involved with Isagenix is the amazing personal development opportunity. David Wood, a master trainer for Isagenix, made me see that the story that I tell myself around my life is what largely determines my thoughts and my actions. Acting out of fear, anxiety, or lack is normal if your reality is perceived to one that is fearful, anxious, and full of scarcity thinking. But if you change your story….ahh, well that just becomes another thing entirely.
I realized today that I was telling myself a story about waiting. My story was that I had to wait to have my business where I wanted it and my financial picture stabilized to be my best. I realized that I was creating a lot of “should’s” and “well, when I…” thoughts that were really holding me back from embracing this very moment right in front of me. As a result, I wasn’t taking some needed action in accordance with my core values. Entitling myself to being my best RIGHT NOW is my new story.
My new story allowed me the space to make some remarkable progress this week. I was able to reconnect with several people that I had been holding back with, to get back into my ideal exercise routine, break way from a stress eating cycle I had been in, to spend time organizing my office and creating my ideal work space, to have a remarkably fulfilling day with my children and husband just hanging out, to follow through on several committments that I had gotten lazy about….in other words, it energized me in an incredible way and allowed me to push past the old cycle of GUILT>>>PROCRASTINATION>>>AVOIDANCE>>>GUILT to create something altogether different.
Is it possible that instead the REALITY is that business isn’t where I want it to be and my income not stabilized BECAUSE of the STORY I was telling myself about it? Yes, not just possible but entirely probable. The story comes first…
So, what is the story you are telling yourself about waiting for your best life? My guess is that if you identify the story, you’ll identify the key to changing it too!
