How are the mindset messages in your head creating your life?
Are you living in a field of dreams or a nightmare on Main St?
We all want the happily ever after. However, life can get away from us. Work, family, career, and responsibilities seem never-ending. Stress brings with it a multitude of unwanted friends of worry, anger, doubt, anxiety, panic, rage, etc., to create the nightmare of our lives. FEAR is the one word that encompasses all the negative feelings experienced. Fear of not measuring up, Fear of losing my family, Fear of humiliation, Fear of getting hurt, the list is beyond measure, for we are all at its mercy.
There is a way out, and you can overcome the suffocating stress of life. What I’m about to tell you may seem insignificant, but refrain from an immediate judgment, for you can create everything in your life. Your power is in your thoughts and focus. Your power for change lies at the root of your beliefs and life expectations.
“At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are, and you know what you want.” -Lao Tzu.
Beliefs are nothing more than continually focused thoughts. On our journey, the most active thoughts become our core beliefs and guiding lights in our choices and actions, consciously or unconsciously, every day.
Awareness is our superpower. Lifting the veil of our lives opens the door so we can achieve our goals. The superpower of awareness can sting at first. We have been living and creating our lives in what can be called “DrawingDrunk.” We are drunk in unconsciousness, fear, and stress. We do not see clearly or in alignment with what we truly desire. Each minute, hour, day, week, and year, we draw and create our lives through our choices and actions.
What if you chose differently?
What if?
Think about it. In art school, we are taught to work from general to specific.
Every drawing is a compilation of shapes. As you create general shapes that will become your drawing, you begin to get more and more specific about the details of your drawing, similar to our goals for our lives.
We desire or dream of accomplishing something, such as writing a book. However, writing a book seems overwhelming or out of our reach.
We can gain a better perspective of our dreams by using general to specific questions. To start, we ask questions in a general way…”What do I want to write?” Answer the questions without thinking too much. Make a self-discovery game of this practice and follow the general to a specific concept.
What if I do this?
What if I do that?
What if it is a path of creation?

Would this bring me closer to living in a field of dreams or a nightmare on Main St.?
