Life is a movie, and you are the writer, director and star of that movie.

Every day you get up and put on your costume and step into that role.

Growing up you were more than likely given or assigned your role.

Were you taught to be a victim and keep things inside?

Maybe you were taught that life is a war, and keep creating conflict even now.

You were taught things about your role in society, your worthiness, your intelligence, your attractiveness, your abundance + much more.

‍But now you have the reins.

No one else can direct you anymore.

So how do you create the movie you are wanting to live in, rather than a painful existence?

You have to know what kind of person you want to be.

You could call it a persona if you like…but you can think of the type of person you want to be.

How do you live?

How do you feel about yourself?

What do you experience in your life?

What are your relationships like?

What are your passions?

You have the ability to create yourself.

‍The trick is to become very conscious in your thinking, and to choose what you want to believe about yourself and your experience in life.

It takes mental vigilance because while you are practicing consciously being who you want to become, your logical brain will be holding up as evidence that it’s “not true.”

Look for evidence that it is true. 

Tell yourself it’s true. 

Believe it’s true just because you wanna. Just because it feels good!

Surround yourself with others that also believe it’s true.

(Now your creating your cast of characters).

Yes, you’re creating your own fantasy.

Life is a fantasy.

All of it is a movie you make up in your head.

Take charge of the reins.

Create boundaries around those who criticize you or mock your vision. Your life may not be right for other people, but it’s right for you.

‍The most important thing is to watch what you tell yourself. 

If you get off course, that’s okay. Eventually you will notice that you’ve gone down a negative mental journey again. Be gentle with yourself. Affectionately pull yourself back into self love and compassion.

Then, begin the mantras again.

Keep taking tiny actions that add up, to build your vision.

Now you are remembering who you really are.
