Your Inner World Creates Your Outer World

Submitted by Liz Weaver on Wed, 2009-03-04 21:45

Something I've noticed lately is the little things people do to sabotage themselves. Little tiny things that may not seem to mean much but in reality can mean everything.



One thing that really stands out lately is usernames. I'm not trying to embarrass anyone but a look around the user list is a little surprising to me. So let me ask you. If it's your intent to get in better shape do you think a username like fatandlazy is helping you out? NO. I'm not sure that bigbooty and Outtashape is planting the right subliminal message either.



You see we are going to be what we believe. Our inner world shapes our outer world. You can try hard to get in shape, drop a few pounds, or whatever. But if your inner beliefs don't match your goal your fighting an uphill battle. If you do reach your goal (which is unlikely) what will probably happen next is that you'll backslide. You got thin, wealthy, whatever, but your inner beliefs didn't match your outer world so guess what happens? That's right, your outer world will reconfigure itself to match what's inside. You'll lose the money, gain the weight, lose the great new guy, etc.



I was working with my fabulous and very successful sister, Kathryn Vatsula the other day and I noticed something remarkable. Not only did her usernames reflect something positive but her passwords did also. She did this without thinking about it. It was part of her inner world reinforcing itself. She's wonderful and successful and she habitually reinforces that inner world which then creates the outer world and so on and so on. I thought about it a bit and realized I did the same. My passwords often reflect my goals in some way. Think about it. How often do you type in your passwords? Could you use that extra little reinforcement? I bet you it wouldn't hurt.



It might be a tiny little thing but I would encourage you to try it.



It seems a simple thing but this kind of behavior seeps into every area of our life without us even noticing it. Please I encourage you NO MORE LEFTOVER BAGGAGE ABOUT WHO YOU WERE. Want to be someone new? Start with a new and better username. Being part of the Breakpal community reflects your commitment to who you are becoming, so let your user names reflect that. Try iamwonderful, or fitandhappy, I'm changing mine to LizWeaverQueenOfTheUniverse, it has a nice ring to it don't you think?



See you inside!!!



Liz
