The world you experience is the one you are most familiar with.

Vibrationally speaking, you attract what you think and feel; Therefore, your long-held beliefs and thought patterns have contributed to your life experience.

When it comes to manifesting a truly abundant life, you have to be willing to look at the choices and observations you have made – whether they be conscious or unconscious – that have contributed to your current reality.

Your experience of the world is a result of all that you have been thinking and feeling.

When you have a burning desire to manifest a different experience, often your past is what stands in the way of allowing it in.

Those thoughts and feelings that you have held onto around different topics in your life can make you stuck in a repetitive cycle.

A cycle that becomes so ingrained in your psyche that it becomes very difficult to shift.

Do you have a repetitive story that you keep telling yourself about your life? Is something not right?

Do you wake up each day hitting the snooze button, feeling unmotivated and frustrated that another day has come around and you still don’t feel that excitement you want to feel?

You have something you want to give the world, but you can’t make it happen.

Life just keeps getting in the way.

You’re stuck in the story of ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘I can’t do it.’ Or maybe ‘I don’t have the talent/means/time to do what I really want.’ Fill in your version of this.

We get sick of ourselves repeating the same story and the same complaints day in and day out.

It can be exhausting to just go through the motions of life.

Think for a moment about how long your story has been with you.

Do you feel stuck in a routine? Do you feel like you just can’t make the necessary changes?

Has your story changed over time, or have you always felt this way?

It can be so hard to clear these old stories we tell ourselves.

We have so many thoughts and feelings that have built up around us that they start to obscure our connection with the divine.

They begin to become all we see, and we lose touch with the truth that we are limitless beings in this Universe, capable of manifesting whatever we want.

You can release and surrender your stories, repetitive cycles, or negative habits, but in order to do so you have to identify exactly what they are and then change them.

You have to take the first step out of your old stories and be willing to make new decisions and take new actions.

You are only a decision away from everything that you want.

Follow these steps:

1. Decide on the main story that keeps you from living an abundant life.

Write it out and get very clear on all the details of that story. You can do this as often as you like and apply it to different cycles where you find yourself stuck.

Example, my story is that I procrastinate too much and I am not talented or educated enough to truly follow my passion and make money doing it. Who would want to pay me for my work?

There are so many people better at it then me, I have started too late etc.

2. Now you are going to honor your story.

Understand why it came about and feel any painful emotions that may arise around this story of yours.

Give yourself time to mourn this story because you are going to let it go forever now!

3. Be still and take some deep, long breaths.

Bring yourself into a place of deep peace. Feel a strong sense of yourself here and now.

4. Now write down a new story, a story which tells the opposite of the old one, make sure you write it in the present tense. You can also write down an affirmation or mantra such as:

I no longer need this old story in my life, it is time to let it go and release any attachments I have to it. It does not define me anymore. It is not in alignment with who I am now.

If this story, thoughts, and feelings around it start to rise in me, I am going to remember to shift my focus towards my new story.

I will remember that these are old stories that only hold me back from my true self and authentic soul energy.

Try to define some key priorities or actions that are in alignment with your new story.

Anything you can change will help you make this big energy shift towards clearing the space for all that you desire.

In order to release, you need first to accept your old story, be open to changing it, and then redirect your energy and attention towards a new story.

It takes time to work, but after following this exercise, you will notice significant changes over the weeks that follow.

You will no longer regurgitate the same old story.

You will have released the past and be ready to welcome in a new abundant reality.
