Do you feel like you’re not living the life you want? Do you want to rewrite your story<\/a> and create a reality that you desire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you choose to focus on becomes your reality. If you stop focusing on negative, self-limiting stories that frame your reality, you\u2019d realize that <\/strong>you can rewrite your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading for tips on how you can rewrite you story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Get Over Your Own Ego: Rewrite Your Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we can get so deeply wrapped up in the stories we\u2019ve told ourselves that we can\u2019t see the endless possibilities and opportunities that surround us. We\u2019re trapped by stories like, \u201cI\u2019ll never make enough money,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m lazy,\u201d \u201cAll the good men are taken.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the truth is, what you choose to focus on becomes your reality. If you stop focusing on these negative, self-limiting stories that frame your reality, you\u2019d realize that you can rewrite your story and create any reality you want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To illustrate the infinite possibilities around us that we don\u2019t see, try this exercise: Look around your room and take a minute to count all the red things you see. Then stop, look down, and try to think of everything yellow around you. There\u2019s probably a lot \u2014 but you didn\u2019t see it because you were looking for red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave Your Old Self Behind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We often hide behind our negative stories, using them as excuses to not reach for our dreams. When You Are a Badass <\/em>author Jen Sincero<\/a> finds herself wrapped up in her own excuses and feeling sorry for herself, she thinks of Ray Charles. Broke, blind, orphaned and discriminated against, he went on to become one of the most influential and successful American musicians ever. This makes her own excuses feel pitiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of our excuses and missteps did<\/em> have value. They allowed us to grow and learn. But it\u2019s time to graduate and move on to a better reality. Instead of hiding behind our excuses, we need to make the choice to let go of them and manifest the reality we want. Life is an illusion created by your perception, and we can change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to let go of the current story and rewrite your story to one that fits who you truly are<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Rewrite Your Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To start shifting your current perspective and rewire a new story for yourself, start with the following strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Know What Your Self-Sabotaging Stories Are<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before you can let go of your stories, you have to understand what they are. What do you hear yourself<\/a> saying over and over? To figure out the lies you\u2019ve been telling yourself, think about how you\u2019d finish these phrases: I always — , I never –, I can\u2019t –, I should –, I suck at –, I wish –, I don\u2019t have –, I\u2019m trying to —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to figure out your stories is to look at areas of life where you\u2019re lacking. For example, if you\u2019re overweight, your story could be, \u201cI have no discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Understand What You\u2019re Gaining From Your Self-Sabotaging Stories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re perpetuating some negative story about yourself, you\u2019re getting something out of it. When you identity the false benefits you\u2019re reaping from holding onto your stories, you can start letting them go and replace them with new, empowered stories that serve you as an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your story is that you suck at relationships, the benefit may be that you don\u2019t have to commit or risk getting hurt; you don\u2019t have to compromise or share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lose the Self-Defeating, Childhood Stories and Replace Them With New, Powerful Stories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You get to rewrite your story as you continue to grow. Try this exercise: Write down, stream of consciousness style, what you\u2019re getting from these old, limiting beliefs, and really feel<\/em> them. For example, if your story is \u201cthere\u2019s no good men left and I\u2019ll be single forever,\u201d you\u2019d write something like, \u201cBy saying this, I don\u2019t have to take responsibility<\/a> for why I\u2019m not meeting anyone. I get to be a victim.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve felt the feelings you\u2019ve gotten from your false rewards, replace them with the feelings of joy and power that being your true self<\/a> will bring you. You then can release these stories and replace each with a new truth. For example, \u201cBy saying there aren\u2019t any good men out there I don\u2019t have to take responsibility for why I\u2019m not meeting any,\u201d becomes, \u201cThe world is full of awesome men and I am fully capable of finding a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll see that these false rewards are simply scared parts of you acting out, like a frightened child. See yourself as the adult taking the wheel of a Ferrari away from the child version of yourself who\u2019s been driving it all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take Action<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Understand you can have what you want, and truly believe it. Pretending won\u2019t work. You can\u2019t go on a date and say you have a great attitude and secretly just know it\u2019s going to be hideous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Change Your Routine<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Go a different route, change up the restaurant, talk to strangers \u2014 do things that pull you out of your routine. This will open your eyes to all the amazing realities that were there all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Guard Against Spiraling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we can be derailed when something sad happens, spiraling downward and piling on additional reasons to be down. For example, your dog dies, and then you realize you\u2019re now dogless and<\/em> single and have many other problems, creating an ever-expanding pity party. If something negative happens, feel it, learn from it, but then let it go and focus on your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
