Part Three of Four (Emotional, Physical, Mental, Spiritual)
Exploring the hidden commitment–Mental
From the emotional aspect of manifestation, I learn to recognize situations in which I say I want one thing (X) but continue to experience another (Y). And that there is the idea that I ultimately act to support my hidden commitment. Which is why I continue to experience Y…
For example, I say I want my existing clothes to fit better again (X), and yet I continually squeeze into my pants (Y).
From the physical aspect of manifestation, I learn to recognize that my actions support either X or Y. And that I get to choose again and again and again, in each small moment as it arrives.
For example, when I get hungry I can ask myself, “What will support what I say I want, rather than continuing to support my existing situation?” And then I can choose a turkey lettuce wrap with sprouts instead of a super-sized drive-through meal — and be even more nourished and satisfied than anticipated.
How about your X vs. Y story? Can you identify one? Are you able to then recognize your choices in the moments, and act to support your X?
Now that we’ve identified our situation and can act on a supportive plan, let’s take a look at addressing our hidden commitment.

Part Two of Four (Emotional, Physical, Mental, Spiritual)
Building upon our last conversation, I now recognize that I say I want X (for example, to lose weight), yet I continually experience Y (make poor food choices). What did you discover about your experience with this situation? What is it that you desire, yet continually don’t experience?
Further, I realize that what I’m doing is feeding (oh, ha) my hidden commitment. With my layering and gathering, I think I might be protecting. And this is a surprise. What might your own hidden commitment be?
Take some time to sit with that, we’ll explore this mental aspect of manifestation next time. Today, we’re going to look at how to specifically get ourselves from X to Y. What to DO with what we are aware of — the physical aspect.
Here is the secret I’ve found to moving myself from what I’m actually experiencing (X) into what it is that I truly desire (Y). And it’s really very simple:

(Part One of Four–Emotional, Physical, Mental, Spiritual)
I say I want one thing, yet what I am experiencing is another.
For example, I say I want to save money — while I continue to spend. I say I want to lose weight — yet I continue to eat mindlessly and not move my body.
For being such a big believer in creating our own realities and lives, what the heck am I doing with my own, here?!?
Have you experienced this? Do you say you want one thing, when your life continues to be another?
Nancy Levin taught me that we create what we are most committed to. So why do I continually create one scenario when I truly believe I want another?
What’s the hidden commitment I actually have? What is it that I gain from what I do, versus what I tell myself I want?
Let’s look closer at this; it’s starting to make sense to me. Maybe it will help you, too.

Word Becomes Flesh

I love words. They’re concise energy, personalized. The physical translation can feel like a wild strawberry on the tongue, lush fur rippling between fingers, full-body hums attuning to a singing bowl.
Or, the translation can feel like a fish bone jabbing into gums, warm dog poo squishing between bare toes, a too-close thunderclap reverberating from inside the chest.
Depending on the words. Your choice.
I learned about this firsthand, years ago. And it rocked my world. Read More
Life Is A “Choose Your Own Adventure” Story. Here’s How to Write It.
Posted on July 5, 2017 3 Comments

You get to make life the way you want it to be. We all do.
In fact, we already write our own life stories, whether it’s by conscious choice or by unconscious default.
Not sure that’s exactly true? Consider today a new chapter in a book that’s just morphed into a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type of story. You know, the kind that at the end of the page you get to decide where the story goes next, and you head over to the corresponding page based on your decision.
