However you grew up, however you were programmed and patterned as a child — in your “formative” years (by the age of 7) – has literally “formed” your life, your years to date of beliefs, thoughts and life perceptions that you believe are “normal!”

They are “normal” to you, but not to everyone else.

If you are not happy and at peace in your life it is a sign that you are yearning to consciously create “new normals.”

CREATING NEW NORMALS: HOW TO START
Take out a piece of paper and start writing a list of what you DON’T WANT in your life experience.

Then, write a list of what you DO WANT.

It’s important to know what you DON’T WANT in order to move them aside to bring in your new, fresh and joyfilled WANTS and DESIRES.

As you write down your WANTS, you might notice all kinds of what I call “red monkeys and hitchhikers” showing up in your head telling you that you can’t have them. That’s “normal.” Keep writing anyway and identifying where these limiting ideas and learned beliefs from others came from and how they are not true for you today. Know that it’s alright for you to move past them, to move towards what you WANT and allow in what you WANT that will expand your life in much more positive ways.

PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE.
To make this process “stick” you must commit to doing it daily, like exercise to change your body. You are not only changing “your mind” about yourself, you are literally “changing your BRAIN/MIND” and its electric neuropathways that have kept you on the old road all these years. It will take a while to reprogram those pathways. Don’t stop!

                                              “No one can create in your experience,
                               for no one can control where you direct your thought.
                                    On the path to your happiness you will discover
                                                   all you want to be, do, or have.”
                                                                 ~ Abraham-Hicks
