Old Stories vs New Stories: How to Bridge the Gap?

Tell a new story in 2010Speaking of telling new stories in the new year, you know well that to let in a new story, you’ve got to stop holding onto the old one, right?

Let’s get clear about this:

To tell a new story, let go of the old one.

But sometimes it’s easier said than done.

You wonder if the old story really is old or just needs a fresh look at it. Maybe you’re not sure if you need a new story or just patience while the old one unfolds into the new one.

Of course, most times, you’re just ready for a new one!

Here’s the deal, kids.

You get what you really really want deep inside, not what you think or say you want.

If you say you want love, and keep holding onto an old lover in your mind,  if you say you want to be healthy and then eat unhealthy food and feel guilty about it, you’re letting the Universe know you’re not serious!

Sending out mixed, unclear signals is a waste of your time.

So what do you do?

Why, you ask with your actions, not merely your words!

When you’re really clear about what you want, you’ll start to notice what behaviours and actions are incongruent with your wants. Then you can start changing them or adopting new ones.

You know the drill by now..

  • Decide what you want
  • Get clear on it
  • State it in the present tense
  • ACT like you want it
  • Ask for it
  • Use manifesting techniques like affirming, afforming, playing make believe, scripting etc
  • Get into the energy and FEELING space of having what you want
  • Make space in your life for it
  • Be conscious of your actions making sure that they reflect your “new” reality.
  • Have patience!

Here’s a question (or two) I have for you:

Do you think it’s necessary to let go of old stories before you can REALLY embrace new ones?

Or do you find that it’s easier (or more effective) to state new stories instead of trying to let go of the old first?

Another alternative to changing stories I haven’t thought of?

Curious as to what works best for you. Thanks for sharing your perspectives!

ps: Have you picked a theme for January yet? Mine is Love and I am having SUCH a great time playing with it!

I find myself feeling SO vibrant and alive, which is what being in love with myself, someone else or the world REALLY makes me feel.

Wow, what a GREAT way to start the year!
