YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR OWN STORY

Dear readers, today I d like you all to "unwrap your present" with me, by sharing this exerpt of my second book. Enjoy!

Imagine yourself into the shoes of a talented writer. A writer, is by definition an author, thus a creator. Now picture your life as a book. The book you are having in your hands is full of blank pages. Imagine you are having this immense power to create each day by filling each page with a story of your own. Write an interesting story for each day, put into your page as many details as you like. Use your imagination to invent a splendid day of your own, in which you are the main heroes. Now imagine you are receiving all you want: money, friends, good news, excellent health, joyful news are coming to you constantly. Every day is filled with magic. Your pen magically creates what suddenly becomes your reality.

Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Wouldn’t you enjoy to be fully capable to create the reality you want every single day?

Spiritually speaking, this huge power has been given to you. Just close your eyes for a few moments and imagine your ideal day, from the moment you are waking up to the moment you are going to sleep. Put as many details into your ideal days. Now take a piece of paper or open a WORD document on your computer and write your detailed ideal day. Feel it, live it, as if it was REAL while you are writing it. Read it. Feel all the emotions while going through each point of your wonderful day.

Close your eyes once again. Imagine your ideal day coming true.

How do you feel now? I bet this visualization exercise made you feel fantastic, fabulous. You probably felt as if you were new born!

I’d advise you to repeat this exercise every day. Fake it, until it becomes your reality. Mental rehearsal is the key.

How do I heal the past?

We are not all equal in terms of our past stories. Some people’s pasts are filled with good memories, while other people’s stories are full of hurtful events.

- First of all, particularly if your past recalls some painful memories, acknowledge that your past is PAST. It is OVER. There is nothing you can change about it. What is done, is done.. Whether you believe it or not, it needed to happen exactly that way. You needed to be the person you used to be in this precise moment of your past. So be kind to yourself, forgive yourself once for all. Everything that has happened in your life was necessary to allow you to become the person you are now.

- Ok, there are probably some episodes of your past you’d like to dismiss? Remember, you are now walking in the shoes of a writer-so just rewrite your past the way you’d like to see it. Erase the painful episodes, enlighten the beautiful and cheerful ones. Celebrate them! If you manage to focus on the positive episodes only, you have this incredible power to transform you own story into a fairy tale. It will help you feel good and keep a positive perspective.

- Another way to make your past work at your greatest advantage is to look back at the good episodes, the single out each detail that you consider as a blessing, and develop appreciation as you are going through each episode.

Now that you have been given the tool, you know how to modify your past and influence present and future. Think about all things you love, about your ultimate goal in life. Define precisely what you want. Relax and breathe deeply. Imagine that you now possess all the things you want. You are holding them in your hand. Feel it as the actual and factual truth.

This is a wonderful tool to allowing things to magically appear in your life.

Also, remember to take action when action is needed! Some people dream in terms of wishful thinking while they keep procrastinating when opportunities are knocking at the door.

Now take a minute to think about your life. Describe all the positive sides of your current life. Use only good adjectives (magical, fantastic, fascinating, great, etc…)

Use your affirmations in the present tense.

“ My life is magical, fantastic, great”

Celebrate what you just found out about your life!

How do I create my future?

A lot of people do worry about the future. Guess what? Their worries often come true, because they are based on sustained, constant thoughts. Worry adds to worry. The more you worry, the more worries you will get. Is that what you want?

I think that you’d like a brilliant future, like most of us. So what can you do instead of worrying?

The first thing is to do your best to appreciate your present circumstances. This is an important element that you need to take into consideration. Even if your present is not ideal, when you manage to get a sense of appreciation, you are allowing positive change to take place. Be content, think about listing your current blessings.

Second, by thinking about your future into the present tense, as if it was already accomplished, you are allowing your ideal future to take place. Imagine yourself hitting the jackpot, visualize the whole scene, feel the elation, celebrate the victory of your achievement in advance! Do as if, fake it as much as needed until you reach some concrete results.

Third, when you are acting in the direction of your dream, it will allow some change to take place. No matter how distant it might seem to you, take some small steps that will bring you closer to it.

Now ask yourself: “What type of action can bring me closer to my dream?”

“What is the first realistic step I could undertake RIGHT NOW?

No matter how little this step is, write it down, then DO it.

But do it now: not tomorrow, not next week. You have to act in the NOW to put things into MOTION.

Tomorrow might be too late!
