This is the hardest thing to grasp when the reality we are in is so far from what we desire.

How can I be grateful for abundance with a pile of mounting debt?

How can I say thank you for a partner I cannot touch?

How can I be expected to feel feelings of these as if they’ve already come to pass, when my reality is screaming in my face the moment I open my eyes?

God, do I feel that on so many levels. I know that feels like an impossible task. But if you think about it, we are proof that it works.

We feel powerless, unable, desperate, alone, and at the end of our rope…our experience justifies it, and the loop continues.

We could upset the whole pattern by throwing it a new order and watch what happens?

What do we have to lose if the reality we are living in is already one we don’t want?

You’re not hopeless, or lost, or doomed, or stuck. You’re programmed.

This is a habit of thought;

• that became beliefs
• - that sent chemicals into your body to cue you to physically feel that belief
• - that caused you to behave appropriately
• - that then caused everything to line up for that experience
• - that caused you to then observe things through that lens
• - that looped back into the way you think
• - that started the whole cycle over again
• And if you give a moose a muffin, predictably, you will expect the same outcome.

To practice interuptting this cycle, when you notice the thought that reminds you of your “situation,” complains or starts in on the doom loop of powerlessness — do ONE thing for yourself;

• *Immediately* change focus, state, or environment. Doesn’t matter big or small (big IS better to start though.) Go outside, stand up, clap loudly in your face, say “STOP”, look straight up, run to the other end of the room, start music, grab your butt. *WHATEVER* interrupts the flow before it gets going. Habits of thought are mechanical, you derail the route, it gets weaker.
• The fastest way to keep yourself from going downhill is to stop yourself before you gain momentum while you’re still at the top. It’s difficult at first because the connections are strong. Thought A, B & C are super close and have practice at setting one another off.

You CAN change this.
