Your life<\/a> is the total of your thoughts<\/a>, feeling, and behaviors. All of the thoughts<\/a>, feelings<\/a>, and behaviors that you have throughout the day, are putting you in this exact spot in life – in this exact moment in time. All you have – all you are – are from the sum total of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.<\/p>\n Once you can fully grasp this concept in your life, you can quite literally start living the life of your dreams.<\/p>\n We want what is familiar. When something is familiar, it is comfortable. We tend to seek out comfort and familiarity instead of something different. But that something different is how you change.<\/p>\n If you are anything into the law of attraction<\/a> or manifestation or living life on a higher frequency, I know you have heard this concept before.<\/p>\n Reap what you sow<\/a>.<\/p>\n What you program in, gets programmed out.<\/p>\n Where your energy goes, your attention flows.<\/p>\n You get what you expect.<\/p>\n All of these are true. But how does this affect your life? What do we truly mean when we say thoughts, feelings, and behaviors dictate our life?<\/p>\n Let’s do a few exercises to show you what I mean.<\/p>\n Let’s start with a simple one: Your daily habits.<\/p>\n I have a morning routine where I am<\/a> awake by 530a and spend an hour meditating, sitting in silence, sitting in gratitude<\/a>, full of love and bliss. My time to just sit and be<\/a> incredibly grateful for another day on this beautiful planet. Another day to see my beautiful wife and kids. To make a change in the world with my writing. Just to see and be. I emit a very high frequency – high vibrations – during this time because I am in a state of love and bliss.<\/p>\n Then at 630a, my boy’s alarm goes off and I go from a state of love and bliss to chaos and anger. Trying to get kids out the door who don’t want to get dressed, eat breakfast, or even go to the flippin’ bathroom! My frequency – no matter how hard I try, goes to a low frequency.<\/p>\n Those 2 hours of the morning, give me a middle wave vibration<\/a> to start my day. High, then low, puts you an average of the middle. My day isn’t ruined, but I am also not riding a high vibration at that moment. I am in the middle. I am the sum total of my thoughts, feeling, and behaviors.<\/p>\n How can I raise my vibrations here? I am working on being calmer, and emitting more love when I get my boys ready in the morning. I raise that vibration, my average vibration goes up throughout the day and things start improving. Got me so far?<\/p>\n Great – so let’s use a real-life example of how we can apply this to life and our goals. Let’s do it with money and wealth.<\/p>\n When I was 26, I got married to the love of my life. And boy that was a stressful time. We both were finishing up master’s degrees, working minimum wage jobs, and living in a townhome we barely were scraping to get by. I think I was at 27k a year or something like that. I had just learned about the law of attraction via reading The Secret<\/a> and was starting to soak up all the authors in this space. One of those reads was The Feeling Is The Secret, by Neville Godard. Basically, Neville says that the secret to life is FEELING the way you want to feel in the future. By feeling the way you want to feel, you basically BE the person you need to be to DO The things to get you want.<\/p>\n My first big at-bat with this was manifesting<\/a> more money into my life. But it couldn’t just be about the money, because money doesn’t have a direct feeling or emotion attached to it. It is what money can bring. So I did a 10 levels deep exercise – where you go 10 levels deep on the ‘why’. You can read more here on the 10 levels deep exercise.<\/a><\/p>\n Turns out for me, making more money means giving my wife, and my future kids the life they deserve. A house with a backyard, vacations, and the works. I HAD to get there. So I set a goal: 100k before I was 30 years old.<\/p>\n Why 100k? I mean – isn’t that the gold standard for wealth when you are making 27k? And why 30? IDK – seemed like a good even number. So I set it – and off I went.<\/p>\n 2 years went by, and I was making 35k. Nowhere NEAR where I thought I would be. I should be close to at least 60k if 100k was going to come into reach. And here comes all the doubt about does the secret really work<\/a>? Am I really meant just to be a 35k earner in my life? Maybe this is what wealth looks like in my life?<\/p>\n Then one night, I randomly decided to log into my Kindle and go through old books that I read in the past. And one stuck out like a sore thumb: The feeling is the secret.<\/p>\n I wasn’t FEELING wealth. In fact – I was feeling the opposite. I was still feeling debt. Lack. Scarcity. And you know what I was getting? Debt. Lack Scarcity. I was still worried about if we had money each money. Still stressing that I can’t take my wife to anything but the dollar menu at Mcdonald’s. Still looking at my beater of a car I quite literally would pray to god to let it start just one more day so I can try to change this position. And you know what god did? He gave me exactly what I asked for. That car always just barely started. I just barely could afford date night. I always just barely paid the mortgage. But that wasn’t the wealth that was going to give my future family the life we need.<\/p>\n So I had to change my feeling. I started with the most basic of questions: What does wealth feel like?<\/p>\n Well – I will tell you what it doesn’t feel like. It doesn’t feel like worrying about money. It doesn’t feel like wondering if you can pay your house payment or not. It doesn’t feel like not being able to take your wife to nice dinners. It doesn’t feel like a piece of shit car.<\/p>\nThoughts, Feeling, and Behaviors<\/h2>\n
