\"Jodi<\/a>If I told you that you could let go of anything that was holding you back, anything that was causing you pain, anything that was keeping you from living your best life, would you believe me?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I told you that you truly have the ability and the power to create the life that you want and deserve to live, would you believe me \u2013 on a deep, deep level? Would you let the words move beyond your brain and sink into your heart? Would you let them swirl around in your body?<\/p>\n

Or would you instead share all of the reasons why it\u2019s possible for me or for another to create the life that they want to live, but it simply isn\u2019t possible for you. You have too much _________ in the way. Or too much _________ to process. Or not enough _________ to be able to let go and embrace your power.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happens so often. You believe something is possible for someone else because you see evidence of them living their dream life or embracing their dream partner or working at their dream career. So you know that it can happen. You see it happening.<\/p>\n

And yet, maybe there\u2019s that part of you who doesn\u2019t believe that it can happen to you.<\/p>\n

Would you be willing to let that belief go?<\/p>\n

Would you be willing to give this new life with new experiences and new beliefs and new outcomes a try?<\/p>\n

Because really, what do you have to lose?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hanging onto these beliefs and these experiences that are weighing you down, my guess is that you aren\u2019t truly happy or truly at peace. My guess is that life often feels dreary and heavy for you. And what if you could let go of some of that weight and step into a life that\u2019s filled with possibility?<\/p>\n

Your life wouldn\u2019t get worse, would it? And it may just get a whole lot better, right?<\/p>\n

If you’re willing to try an easy exercise in possibility, I invite you to do this:<\/p>\n

Take out a piece of paper and write this down:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My life is filled with infinite possibility, and I am the creator of limitless miracles.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Put it beside your bed, so it’s the first thing you’ll see when you wake up tomorrow. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Right when you wake up, read it and say it out loud five times\u00a0(with feeling and with as much belief as you can).<\/p>\n

As you go throughout your day, carry this piece of paper in your pocket. And take it out at least five times and repeat the affirmation (with feeling).<\/p>\n

Take a few minutes to imagine how your life would look if you believed these words. <\/strong>Imagine how your life would change if you believed in your ability to create the life you wanted to live.\u00a0Imagine how your life would feel if you accepted the endless possibilities that awaited you.<\/p>\n

And then, see yourself letting go of anything that is holding you back from embracing your life \u2013 past pains, fears, whatever. Begin to let them all go. And see yourself stepping into your new life \u2013 one that feels light and free, one that fills your soul, one that feels amazing. See yourself embrace these words – taking them into your heart as truth.<\/p>\n

Just try this for one day and see how you feel.<\/strong> If you feel better (even just a little bit), do it again the following day. And the following day. And the following day.<\/p>\n

Before you know it, these new thoughts will create an entire shift<\/strong> \u2013 starting with your mind and going down into your heart. You will begin to believe these words that are filled with possibility. And you will create this life that you so deserve to live. You will. I believe it. I know it. And so will you.<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n

Jodi<\/p>\n
