Every day we make choices based on our emotional storage cabinet in a concept I call active memory. Active memory is actually an awesome tool, if you use it in the right way. Unfortunately, our subconscious mind uses it as a defense against emotionally or physically painful experiences. We actually become disempowered and sometimes even crippled by what we fear.
If a child gets caught in a house fire and becomes burned, even a little bit, that memory is forever etched in the body. Whenever the child/adult sees fire in the future, that stored memory activates and the child is on guard, and ready for flight. It could be as small as a candle or a bonfire on the beach. Lifetime after lifetime, that memory is brought forward until it can be released or erased. That energetic imprint will create limitation after limitation because the mindset is going its job. Sometimes the stored memories become distorted. A case in point is the girl who grows up in an abusive household and gets into relationship after relationship with abusive men.
Every choice we make will be based on our stored memories. Some of those memories were so painful, fearful and terrifying that we will avoid making choices to go in those directions. The most terrifying, seem to draw us to them unavoidably over and over again. Some women seem to get into one abusive relationship after another and can’t seem to get out of that loop.
Some choices we make are avoidance of what the subconscious deems simply, “I don’t wanna!” The reasons are always subconscious. The overt appearance may look like laziness, selfishness or any of a long litany. Some of the behavior and actions are so subtle that we are actually not aware that we are doing it. It’s time to pay attention to our behaviors and choices so that we head in the right direction.
Even choosing what to eat can have profound effects on your health and vitality in the future. Pigging out on comfort foods that just satisfy a pleasure response is not a wise move for future health. It doesn’t matter if the choice is easy to make or not, it will impact whether or not you become closer or farther away from your dreams.
If you want to get closer to your dreams, you need to pay attention to why you will do some things and not others, why some choices are easy to make and some not. Listen to your head talk as you mull over your choices. The faster you say no, the more compelling the reason to look at why. If what is before you is clearly a scam and you are saying no because you have learned from a previous scam you have been caught in, then your decision is appropriate. But what if you are saying no because you are assuming it is a scam? You could be missing out on a golden opportunity.
All of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs come together to bombard you. The ones that we habitually experience come from our stored memories, whether we remember them or not. They create our self-image, self-worth, self-esteem perceived social positioning and all of our internal programming. Our thoughts, feelings and beliefs literally create all the limitations in our lives, subtle and otherwise, until we become aware and discerning enough to do something about it. From my perspective, since it’s all energy, it’s a piece of cake. It just takes commitment. Are you ready to manifest your dream life?
