You're Not Going To Make It
This version of you will NOT make it where you’re going.
Which version? The old version — even the current version — of you.
The world is changing, fast.
There’s a quickening happening. Tidal waves of energy are hitting us.
Whether you like it or not, you’re in the fire of spiritual evolution.
It’s not optional these days. You chose this, on a soul level. You’re here for these unprecedented times. You’re here for The Shift.
Yet it comes with a price.
The price is your old self.
Welcome to Your Death & Rebirth
The old version of you cannot exist in the vibrations that are emerging.
This also applies to everything your old self is attached to. The beliefs, programs, systems, addictions, behavioral patterns, etc.
We walk through the grand tribulation of the soul. You can lose yourself in the oblivion of ignorance, or find yourself at a higher octave of being.
To walk the higher path doesn’t require forcing, but letting go.
The more you release, the higher you rise.
The clearer your mind, the more expansive your life becomes.
But How?
How do you let go of your old self?
Here are three simple, straightforward ways.
Anyone can apply these. And when you do, you allow the old you to dissolve in the holy fire of life, and the new you to rise.
1: Observe Your Reactivity
Practice observing your default reactions.
Do certain situations trigger certain emotions or mental narratives?
Maybe you get angry when you hit traffic, or sad when someone doesn’t acknowledge you, or frustrated when you don’t achieve things, or fearful when you watch the news, etc.
Observe these patterns within yourself (and other people too), without judgment. Just witness it.
The more awareness you build around this, the more you let your old self dissolve and transform.
2: Live as the Highest Version of Yourself
Here’s the good news. You can live as the highest version of yourself here and now.
It’s a choice, in each moment.
Make a habit of asking yourself questions like this:
“What would the highest version of me do?”
“How would the highest version of me think?”
“How would the highest version of me behave?”
“How would the highest version of me treat people?
“What qualities does the highest version of me embody?”
“What stories does the highest version of me tell themselves?”
“How would the highest version of me respond to this situation?”
Keep the highest version of you, top of mind, always.
Come up with a mantra to ingrain it into your being throughout the day.
Maybe use, “I am the highest version of myself, here and now,” or “What would the highest version of myself do?” as a mental prompt.
You can also contemplate how the highest version of you manifests in different areas of your life:
Health and fitness
Relationships
Career
Spirituality
Lifestyle
Remind yourself that you can be the new, evolved you. It’s a choice. And it’s also a choice to let go of your old patterns and narratives.
The more you practice thinking, speaking and BEING the highest version of you, the more this timeline will reveal itself in your life.
3: Upgrade Your Habits
With an idea of the highest version of yourself in mind, you can start to align your habits towards that.
Your habits are the building blocks of your life.
Want to know where you’re headed in life? Look at your habits.
Do an honest habit audit for yourself:
List out all of your daily habits (for an average workday).
List out all of your weekly habits (the ones you might not do every day, but are still habits, like going out on weekends).
Identify the habits that do not serve the direction you want to go in (or the habits the best version of you wouldn’t have).
List out new, positive habits you want to implement.
Choose one “bad” habit to remove and replace it with one new positive habit (starting ASAP).
Commit to this new habit until it feels automatic (usually takes around three weeks).
Repeat these replacements until your habits are fully aligned with your desired direction in life and who you want to be.
Your Choice
You’re going through this epic shift either way.
Things are changing, and the change will only accelerate.
How will you choose to experience it though?
Will you fall from grace and suffer? Or rebirth as a new you.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Sending you love and blessings along your path.
Peace,
