Something weird happens when you play with this idea.

Never mind whether it's true. We believe all kinds of things that we don't really know are true or not because of how they make us feel.

Like I am loved. Or I'm safe. Or I'm a good person.

We can believe things either out of habit or by choice. The more we practice choosing beliefs, the less they get stuck in us at inconvenient times.

So let's practice. Say some things that come to mind, even if you don't know what they mean. Believe them a little bit.

The universe is trying to help you. That's why that thing happened to you the other day, the one that you're feeling kind of strange about. You might be stressed out about having to do something about it. You might be tensing some part of your body that used to be relaxed. This doesn't make any sense! That thing that happened was obviously bad! Right? Well.

Or: you just got exactly what you wanted, and now you're thinking, now what? Some possibility is opening up and it's both fun and scary. You can't grasp what it is yet, not fully. Maybe you won't for years.

Why is this happening? What does it mean?

What tone of voice do you use when you ask those questions? What are you willing to receive?

Something subtly shifts when we aren't just tangled up in what's happening, when we give/take the space to see & feel it move.

Where are you watching from?
