You Shape Your Reality: 5 Practical Steps to Start Your Journey
You shape your reality by deciding what you want and who you want to be. Let’s forget about the thoughts and feelings of anxiety and depression for a moment. Forget we ever experienced or are experiencing anything less than our ideal life. What would that be like? What if we learned young that you can shape your reality? Our parents tell us, “You can be anything you want.” But how often are we given the tools to make that a reality? Over time, the opinions and beliefs of other people influence us. Our experiences, habits, television, the internet, and social media get impressed (embedded) upon our subconscious mind.
Shaping Your Reality
Imagine if we were taught at a young age to imagine our future deliberately. Taking those desires, we feel and develop them through positive self-talk and visualization. What if we were taught that we are manifesting everything we experience? What if we were given the tools to manifest despite circumstances and watch our deepest desires unfold before our eyes? It isn’t too late to manifest your ideal life! The key is in the imagination, changing beliefs that contradict your ideal life, and persisting in the assumptions that you are exactly who you want to be. Shaping your reality is being conscious of what you are manifesting.
The Power of Imagination
Imagination is a powerful tool. When we consciously use our imagination, we can create vivid mental pictures of our desired outcomes. These mental images and intense emotions and beliefs can influence our reality. Visualization is a technique used by successful people across various fields, from athletes to entrepreneurs. By visualizing success, they program their subconscious mind to align with their goals.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
Our beliefs shape our reality, and limiting beliefs can hold us back from achieving our full potential. To manifest our ideal life, we must identify and change these beliefs. This process involves self-reflection and a willingness to challenge the status quo. Tools like affirmations, journaling, and cognitive-behavioral techniques can help us rewire our minds for success.
Persisting in Your Assumptions
Persistence is key to manifestation. It’s not enough to visualize and change your beliefs; you must also persist in your new assumptions. This means continuously affirming your desired reality, even when faced with challenges. Neville Goddard, a pioneer in the field of manifestation, emphasized the importance of living in the end. This means thinking, feeling, and acting as if your desired outcome has already been achieved.
My Journey to Purpose
I can only tell you these things because of my journey and where I am now compared to the broken girl I used to be. I can honestly say that I have never purposely imagined being a writer, author, or speaker until recently. However, I have always assumed that I would tell my story of overcoming anxiety and depression one day. I did not know how, but I just knew and persisted in that knowing. Even in the darkest times, I have always known that my life had a purpose. Life continually unfolds, and as I’ve said before, the teacher appears when the student is ready. I firmly believe that.
Embracing Your True Self
Embracing your true self involves acknowledging your strengths, passions, and desires. It’s about letting go of societal expectations and living authentically. When you align your life with your true self, you attract opportunities and experiences that resonate with your core values. This alignment brings fulfillment and joy.

The Power of Community
