Setting Expectations

I set a new goal of reading 15 minutes daily. It's a practice I've wanted to get back to for many years but have struggled to find time.

I keep telling myself that when I've achieved my goal and am done writing this newsletter, I can use that time back to read every night. And that's 100% what I'll do, but I don't want to wait until that day.

Guinevere Ellis ?? told our mastermind to pick something to do for 30 days straight so I may as well use this challenge to kickstart a habit I've been wanting to pick back up for over 5 years!

So it's the very first night settling into this challenge - I'm catching up on chapters from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy and one of the first things I read is a testimonial from a 75-year-old woman who went from alone and hopeless to happily married in about 3 weeks.

You said that ideas could be conveyed to the subconsious mind by repetition, fath, and expectancy. I began to repeat frequently, with all the feeling I could muster, "I am watned. I am loved. I am happily married to a kind, loving, and spiritual-minded man. I am secure and fulfilled." I kept on doing this many times a day for about two weeks. One day at the corner drugstore, I was introduced to a retired pharmacist.

This story made me pause

I underlined the word expectancy.

I've definitely heard this in all of the content I've consumed, but I got stuck on that word.

Expectancy.

I visualize the things I want. I write them down, I say them out loud. I practice gratitude as if they've already happened. I've journaled on those scenes to explore what I'm thinking, doing, and feeling. I visualize it through meditation and fully embody the experience.

But do I expect them to happen just because I want them and have programmed them into my subconscious mind?

I don't want to feel entitled, that's what's expected of my generation lol - but that's a limiting belief that I need to crush right now. I can do whatever I put my mind to. I can create experiences by simply thinking and feeling them. I expect them to happen because they just keep happening. Everything I've ever wanted has come true. And every day I keep thinking how can it get better than this? But then I find out just how good it can get.

I am so happy and grateful that I am in control of my life.

I know what I want and I expect them to happen at this point. I know the rules of the game so I'll just keep playing because no matter the outcome, I always win : )
