Masterful Mindsets ~ Live Your Present Truth Not Your Past Old Stories
Question:
How present are you in your life each day? How present are you in your relationships, your work, your health, your dreams? Are the lies of your past old life stories haunting you so much that you can’t even experience your present truths or possibly consider moving on into a different future?
Action Challenge:
Don’t let old stories from your past dictate your present or future. Instead find your present truth and live it now.
If you’re like most people, when you are about to step out of your comfort zone into a new experience, whether it be something like a job, a relationship, a new project at work or any other opportunity that might have you feeling a bit nervous or uncomfortable, it’s easy to let your mind go to past stories of struggle or failure, and dictate your thinking which in turn controls your actions. So you may act with hesitation or fear. Or you may not even act at all on the new opportunity for growth. And since your ego doesn’t like to be wrong, when you show up this way, it usually ends up creating the thing you feared in the first place.
But what would happen if instead of letting your mind go down the rabbit hole of past stories, you decided to be present in the truth of your life’s current chapter? When you are present in the moment, it is almost always peaceful. If you slip a bit to the past or the future then boom, you can get right back into worry and fear. But being present and identifying the truth of the present moment – which is usually that you are a different person than you were in your past – and capable of so much more, solely because you are present and aware – is not only peaceful but it’s empowering, motivating and joyful. Which is certainly a better way to show up in life and prepare to move forward into the future you want to create.
My challenge for you is to practice being present in the truth of your current chapter rather than staying stuck in the lies of your old stories. Notice when the old stories are creeping up into your languaging. And make a shift to a truth statement for that moment.
Let me give you an example:
Old Story – “I hope I don’t screw up this meeting like I did the last one. I have always been so horrible at closing deals.”
Present Truth – “Every time I run a meeting it gives me the opportunity to get better. I am prepared, I am getting better and I am doing my best.”
Start practicing being very present in each moment of your life and creating truth statements to replace the old stories that are holding you back from stepping into being your best true you.
