I have this working theory that I stole from skateboard filmer Beagle that if something pops up in your life three times in a week it is a sign from the Universe and it’s on you to figure out why. Two times it’s a coincidence. Three or more, something bigger is happening.
My wife had me listening to the Mel Robbins Podcast yesterday and that theory was reaffirmed. The guest, Dr. Tara Swart Bieber, detailed how one can change their brain based on visualizations and manifestations – something which is new water for me to say the least. But as one starts to change what they are focused on so do the cues that they see in the world around them. Opportunities open up.
Mel gave the example of constantly seeing a certain type of car in the wild once you started to do car shopping for that particular vehicle. Your brain starts to cue in on those similarities.
Knowing what I want is a hard thing for me. I’m driven by action mainly. I believe in doing and finding out why or what I want from it later. F
Let’s take this blog. My wife has been on me about journaling my feelings and taking some inventory. I have had an itch to start writing again. That’s how we got here. That’s about all I know right now.
The great thing about this approach is that I will constantly be doing. Which is important, I think. I try out things and see what I like. Fundamentally, do I enjoy this thing.
The problem with this approach is that I don’t necessarily prioritize or emphasize the strategy. If I just do for some vague reason but am not fully honest with the deeper why it’s good way to lose focus or burn myself out.
The why tells me what I want. Which means tackling what I think I deserve. A question that is not necessarily on the tip of my tongue.
What do I need to do, that’s something I’m much more comfortable asking. With need expanding into worlds like this, writing. Anything I decide I’m doing turns into a need.
I need to write. I need to make music. I need to work. I need to work out. And if I need to do anything I need to take it seriously. Pressure mounts.
But deserve, no. It’s an emotional blindspot. So let’s give it a whirl.
There are basic things in my life I deserve: happiness, trust, respect, love, comfort. These are things I want.
But diving deeper, more specifically: I want options in my life. Freedom. That’s the word that I have been cueing in on the last few weeks. What does it mean to be free? How do I get that? Where am I feeling constricted?
Normally, this turns into a reframing access for me a need of wanting to feel free pops up and I try to convince myself I am already free. I essentially am trying to constantly pour water on my own fire. You have this and this and this, why are you being ungrateful wanting more. I’m like a union buster for my own soul.
The more I learn the more I realize I need to be open to what I hear and see and think. The brain thinks something like 70,000 thoughts a day. If there are things that consistently pop up in your brain and in the world around you then something deeper is happening. Universe, brain, something is trying to tell you something.
I haven’t planned my future and sat and taken an active look at what I want or deserve. I also have heard the phrase Vision Board get thrown around quite a bit recently. Unrelated podcasts. Out in the wild. I
Coincidence? It’s been more than twice. It’s a sign now. It’s time. I’m listening to the sign. This weekend I have a date with scissors and glue. I’m going to start an asking answering what I deserve.
What’s the universe telling you that you are ignoring?
