TIME to Safe & Less Spooky: * Less Than 2 Minutes *

We’re almost always better served by seeing our memories as stories, rather than facts.

For every memory we hold is influenced by our current perceptions. And when we layer that on top of the filters we applied five, ten, or twenty or more years ago… well, it can be really hard to separate fact from fiction. And there’s always more than one version of the same story, depending on who’s telling it.

So if a big-hairy memory surfaces, pay attention to how you feel about the story. Doing so enables you to feel, and therefore release painful emotions, rather than getting caught in what did or didn’t happen. What’s most important is acknowledging the feeling that’s attached to the story.

Then after you’ve claimed your feelings, you can decide how you want to feel about that particular topic going forward. Whether you’re working with concepts and feelings about worthiness, love, parenting, success, money, or all of the above … you get to decide what your memories will do for you!

Once you know how you want to feel about a particular topic, for example, confident, hopeful, exhilarated … you can decide how that feeling might take form in your experience. You can ask if I want to feel confident about ________, what might that look like? How would I act? What would I be doing?

And as you begin to focus on that brighter image, you’ll reframe a scary story into a very powerful tool. Because your vision morphs into happier, more empowering, ultra-fulfilling feelings!

Which gives you more clarity, wisdom and freedom than ever before! Plus, you’ve just created an improved experience in the present moment, which improves what will surface in the future. And the better you allow yourself to feel, the better the outcome will be! What a gift!

Your friend and partner in empowering stories,
