The mind is a funny thing.

For many of us, maybe even for you, when you are ready to create greater success than you have ever known, your mind will dig into the past and tell you why it can’t happen.

When reaching for expanded joy, love, and success, your mind might show you pictures and tell you stories about the failures of your past.

It wants to build a case for why it won’t happen now.

You might even find thoughts floating around which seem to tell you that thinking about your failures will protect you if your future ventures fail.

Push the pause button!

How to Make Room for Expanded Good in Your Life

Here’s what to tell yourself when you catch that kind of thinking happening.

Start by inserting the phrase,

“Up until now…”

Literally say to yourself —even out loud —that up until now those circumstances may have been the case, but starting now, you’re creating new results.

Starting now, you’re inviting a new experience of expanded freedom, love, happiness…whatever it is you are creating.

Watch as the old thinking disperses, making room for expanded good in your life.
