youâre unable to drop your old story and thatâs why you struggle with manifesting shifting.
so i know itâs been a long while since i posted a long little shifting help post but thatâs because i been doing what i want! however, to this day i still get dms and comments asking why people arenât shifting even though theyâve been using the law of assumption for x amount of months.
and itâs my personal belief that one of the biggest reasons is because while youâre using the law of assumption, youâre not using it to create your new reality but to cling to your old story.
you still havenât moved past it. you still carry resentment. whether that be toward yourself for âfailing,â toward time, toward other shifters whoâve gotten their results or led you âastray.â even toward shifting itself because it hasnât happened in the way youâve wanted it to yet.
you canât make your new story click because underneath them are the assumptions: âiâve been trying forever.â âiâm still here.â âwhy isnât it working?â âi always end up waking up here.â
that is your story. that is what youâre actually identifying with. and every time you repeat it, youâre just giving it a stronger hold.
you try to start over and overwrite it, but the second something doesnât go your way, you immediately return to the old story because itâs familiar to you. because it feels like home.
and your new story feels unnatural because you havenât let yourself live there yet. you havenât taken the time to heal the damage your old story dealt. itâs like placing brick over mold, thinking that simply covering it will take away the stench.
and before somebody says âbut iâm saturating my mind with my new story x amount of times a day!â iâm not talking about repetition. iâm talking about identity.
who are you when youâre not affirming?
are you someone who micromanages your thoughts? always anxious about thinking the right things? always searching for a new method or direction? can never live in your present state for long without reverting back to something negative?
if so, itâs probably because you havenât forgiven yourself yet.
a lot of you are trying to control every thought because you donât trust yourself anymore. you think if you loosen your grip for even a second youâll undo all your progress. but ask yourself why.
itâs because youâre still identifying with the version of you that âdidnât know better.â the version that spiraled. the version that thought drinking a gallon of water would be the key. the version that thought moving an inch could ruin everything.
you havenât realized that person doesnât need to be protected anymore.
thatâs why you keep trying to control everything. control feels safe because if youâre always watching yourself, maybe youâll never become that version of you again.
but conscious creation isnât about controlling yourself every second of every day. itâs about trusting the identity youâve chosen enough that you can free your thoughts. even if theyâre negative. because you know, deep down, that they donât matter.
so forgive yourself. thatâs it.
forgive yourself for not knowing what you know now. forgive yourself for the months or years you spent feeling stuck. forgive yourself for every time you doubted yourself.
stop treating yourself like a lost cause.
stop trying to fight your old story and simply let it be old.
your past is not evidence. stop living like it is. choose the version of you that you know yourself to be. you donât owe your old story loyalty just because youâve spent a long time living it.
itâs served its purpose. now let it go.
that way when reality asks you: âwho are you?â
you can stop answering with who you were.
