This video will show you 3 powerful ways to transform your story and how when you do transform your story, everything in your life will change and you can make it change for the better. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, we're going to be focused on how our story is running our life experience, how when we get to the core of what our story is and we decide to change it, we then get a new reflection in our life. Now understand that when it comes to the law of attraction, everything we experience happens in the form of patterns. Even the thoughts we have, we think on average 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day. Over 90% of them are the same thoughts from the day before. Everything is on autopilot. Most of the things that we experience, over 95% of it is ran by by our subconscious mind, which means it's on autopilot versus our conscious mind, which only equates for about 5% of it. And if we want to change our life, we must really change the story that we continuously tell ourselves. Now, within that story is an identity, is a way that we view ourselves, is a self-image. And let me share with you the power of changing our self-image. Let me share with you the power of changing our story and how that affects every other area of our life. Well, as I've said, I've talked about the self-image a lot. Our self-image is what is called a cybernetic mechanism, which simply means that however we view ourselves, our identity, we will do absolutely everything we can to remain consistent to whatever that is. So if we make and we view ourselves as only capable of making $50,000 a year, even though we might think about $100,000 a year, even though we might imagine the car and the house that we want, It won't happen unless we change the way that we view ourselves because of that cybernetic mechanism that's subconsciously running our life. So in order to do that, we must get to the core of the way we see ourselves and let go of the story we tell ourselves. We have a story about everything. We have a story about the kind of relationships that we attract. We have a story about the kind of things we attract in general. We have a story around money. We have a story around our relationship with our family. We have a story about everything, and when we change our story and when we change the way we see ourselves, that is when everything changes. And that's why in this video I'm going to share with you 3 powerful ways in order to do that. Now, the first way is simply has to do with awareness. Most people are on autopilot. They're brushing their teeth the same way every day. They're doing the same things every day. Therefore, they're triggering the same thoughts and they're having the same experience. The first step to this process is simply becoming aware of what we are thinking of and becoming aware of what our story is. So let me ask you the question. What is your story around money? What are the most predominant memories you have of money? Was it your parents telling you that money doesn't grow on trees? Was it your parents telling you that, uh, you probably have to just go to college and you probably have to do everything that they laid out for you in a blueprint and you can't really do what you're passionate about? What is your blueprint about money? Maybe you have a very good story about money. Maybe your parents are like, we want you just to be passionate about whatever you do, and you were growing up, you just had positive beliefs around money. Whatever it is, just be aware of what that story is by asking yourself the question. When you ask yourself the question, you start to go within and you start to realize what that is. Now realize we cannot change what we do not own. So this means that if it's on autopilot, it will continue to run our life. Our body, our life loves homeostasis. It loves to keep things consistent to the way it is. Think about it in the form of going to the gym. Our bodies like to stay in that homeostasis, but in order to grow, we must push through that homeostasis. We must experience a little bit of that uncomfortableness, and then as the body goes to rejuvenate itself and to bring it back into homeostasis, we can continue to raise the bar. We get uncomfortable, we break down the muscles, and then the next day it starts to rebuild itself and we do it over and over again. Now we must experience growth by first off becoming aware of what our story is and asking ourselves the question, what would I have to believe is true? What is my story around this? And then simply deciding to change it, deciding to get uncomfortable, to push through those autopilot experiences so that we're really able to have a deeper experience with it. Now I've explained this story before when it comes to me and being nervous around, you know, uh, feeling rejected from people. And it came from, stemmed from one experience, one memory of when I was like 12 years old and I was at a Parks and Rec place and I asked a girl that was 18 years old when I was 12 years old to dance with me. And she said no. And she brought some other like 12-year-old over to me that I didn't want to dance with. And I felt rejected in that moment. And I realized I was carrying that story with me everywhere I went when it was like I was 18 to 19 to 20 years old. And I was talking to girls, I would feel very nervous and I would always have this memory running in my mind of that rejection. And what I realized I had to do later on is I had to let go of that story. I had to first off be aware that that experience, that story, that reference experience was only one experience. It was only one part of my life and therefore I could start to see it for what it was, just an experience, not who I am, not a part of my identity. The moment I let that go was the moment I started to feel totally different and I started to also get much better results. I was much more confident when I went up to, you know, a girl I was attracted to. And that's simply because I let go of that story. So that's the key to you. I just use that as an example because I think it's maybe something you can relate to in maybe a different way. Maybe it's with money, maybe it's with relationships and someone telling you that you're not worthy or something. That's one experience. It doesn't have to be true. Ask yourself that question. Is this true or was this just one skewed sample experience? Now, the second way that we can change our story is very powerful, and what it is is it involves looking to memories that have happened before that reaffirm the opposite of whatever your belief is to whatever your self-image is. So for example, let's use that same example of the self-image of me not feeling worthy because I got rejected when I was 12 years old. Instead, what I could do is I could look into my memory banks and find experiences of when things worked out well, with when I felt worthy, of when I I maybe went up to someone, it was a very positive experience, which those experiences did exist. The thing was is because I was so focused on that prior experience and I thought that was a part of who I am and I had my identity attached to it, that continued to run itself out. But instead what I did is I started to look to my past and see, hey, there are plenty of times that I was in uncomfortable situations and things went really well. There are plenty of times that I put myself out there and things happened very well. So I started to focus on those memories and that started to gain momentum in the present moment and I started to feel more confident about the situation. So realize that the memories we focus on are hypnotizing us in a way towards believing that that is who I am, that this is something that always happens, that this is my story, when instead what you could do is find memories that show the opposite to you. So let me ask you this question. What memories do you have about money where things worked out really well? What memories do you have about relationships where you were in a positive relationship or you got the kind of feedback that you wanted or you were single and just felt 100% whole and complete already? Look at those experiences. Look at those memories through your memory bank. Think about them and start to feel from that point of view. Understand that we don't necessarily want to create the present moment or the future from the past, but If it means rewiring the story we tell ourselves, find evidence of the opposite of any negative belief you have. So the first part, find the negative belief you have, find the negative reference experience you have, find the negative memory you have, look at it, be aware of it, be grateful it's there because it's showing you know you no longer want it. The next part of it is simply decide you're going to look for the evidence of the opposite of it by looking through your memory banks and finding it. If you ask the question, you will start to find the answers for it. So doing that makes it so much easier because then you're going to start to gain those positive experiences and you're going to start to rewire the neural networks of your brain to look for those positive emotions and those positive experiences. Now, the third powerful way in order to really change your story has to do with simply making your shoulds musts. Now, this is something that you might hear from Tony Robbins. This is something that's strong in the personal development industry, but if you want to make change in your life and you want to change your story, Change the story in the sense that right now in the present moment, you are aware of what your story is and you're going to decide that from this point going forward, you are going to be the cause and not the effect. You are going to decide where your destiny goes by choosing where you put your energy. Imagine you're watching a movie right now and you know that you're watching a movie and you know that part in a movie where the character that maybe was underperforming or maybe the character was like not a hero. But all of a sudden it's about to decide that he or she is the hero. He or she is about to decide that they're going to take the power into their own hand to do what they want to do. It's almost the crux of every movie. That's at the moment in your life right now where you are, and you can decide right now that you're going to make your shoulds musts. We always get what we tolerate in our life. This is something Tony Robbins talks about. We always get what we tolerate, and if we always say, oh, I should do this, I should do that, we're never going to actually get around to it. But the moment we decide that I'm going to do this, I have had enough, maybe we start to associate so much pain with the way we were being before. That's when we start to really get the positive results in our life. So that's what I encourage you to do, to write down your should, what should you be doing, and to turn those into musts. And every day decide you're going to do some part of that. And as you do that, you're going to change your story. Look at your story, look at your life in the form of a movie. Look at your timeline and decide that in this moment right now, that after watching this video, what you're going to do is decide that this is the part of your life where you take your power back. This is the power part of your life where you become aware of the story you're telling yourself and you decide to put your focus in the direction that you want it. And with that powerful narrative, know that you will start to get amazing results from that choice. Everything in our life is a result of a choice that we've made. I implore you to choose that you are worth it. You are worth it to make your shoulds a must, that if you do it, I promise you, you will be grateful that you did and you won't look back except for to be grateful for where you are. Be grateful that you let go of those shoulds and that's all you really have to do. So remember, all you have to do is first off become aware of what your story is. Become aware what it is. Become aware of any of the memories you have, any of the reference experiences that no longer serve you. And decide you're going to make a change. Then what you can do is look to the memories you have in the past that reaffirm the opposite of what you're focused on, that as you do that, you are rewiring the neural networks of your brain. You're starting to see yourself in a completely new way. And then thirdly, all you have to do is turn your shoulds into musts. Decide that this is the part of your own movie where you take your power back and you put the focus in the direction that you want. So with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
