Write Your Reality

Posted on June 8, 2016 Updated on June 8, 2016

For quite some time now I have realized the importance of getting my thoughts down on paper.  We have so many of them, some that are absolute nonsense, some that are absolutely genius and everywhere in between.  I knew I had to make these things called thoughts solid and grabbed some notebooks to do so.

There are many thoughts that you would never want to put down on paper.  We have all had some odd ones I am sure but it’s those genius ones, those thoughts and ideas that pop into our heads that could literally change our lives, those are the ones I am interested in capturing.

Many people journal their day to day lives which is certainly a great way to discover who you are and who you want to be.  I am proposing you go even further than your run of the mill “Dear Diary” kind of writing.  I am proposing you write your future.

You will need a couple of notebooks, at least.  The first notebook will be for your personal life and the second notebook will be for your professional life, you could also add on a notebook for your spiritual life.  Or you could grab a binder and separate the facets of your life with binder dividers.  What ever route you choose I do feel that handwriting these things is best.   I think you connect better this way.  (As I type this blog, ha).

First make a section for the people, things and experiences you are thankful for.  Gratitude for what you already are blessed with is very powerful.  It gives you that warm fuzzy feeling you are longing for, it reminds you of the great life you already have, it can change your present mood and attitude to a positive one.  So thank away!

Next section write down how thankful you are for the people, things and experiences that you do not have yet but do want.  Write these gratitude statements like you already have them.  For example, let’s say you right now have a job that you are not thrilled with, write down, in this section “I am so thankful and grateful for my job, I love my boss, I love my company and what they stand for and look forward to contributing and be rewarded well for my contributions.” or perhaps you are wanting a relationship you would write down something like this “I am so happy and thankful that I found a wonderful man who loves and respects me, he loves the outdoors and loves the movies”.  Be as specific as you can, really have fun adding the details that you really want in your life.

In the third section write affirmations.  Always state I and make the statement in the present tense.  “I am a successful writer and motivational speaker”, “I am weatlthy”, “I attract knowledgeable people who help me further my career”, “I attract loving situations”, “I have a great relationship”.  Whatever you already have in your life and whatever you want in your life.  Affirm these things with positive statements called affirmations.  See the following past blog posts in the Archives “The “A” Word” or “There’s An Affirmation for That” for more ideas.

In the last section I want you to write the story of how you want your life to be.  Again really get detailed when you write this.  Write down the color of the exterior of your dream home, write down what the landscaping will look like, write down what the bedding will be, write down what the walls and floors will look like, imagine it as you always have but this time you are making it solid by writing it down.  If you are wanting to find love, write down what color hair he/she would have, write down what their interests would be, write down what color eyes they would have, write down if they would have kids, what type of career they would have.  It’s all in the details.  Have fun with this it is really a great way to get to where you want to be and to get yourself moving in the right direction.

As I said above do this for your professional, personal and spiritual self.  It is a powerful tool to get you going towards your true self.  As time goes on add to these writings, things will start to change so you can start to change what you want accordingly.

You will want to go back to these writings daily, really feel the gratitude when you read the gratitude statements, really believe the affirmations when you read your affirmations and really get excited when you read “Your Story”.  Ask, believe, receive.

Happy Writing!!!
