Our Silly Rules

I was playing a video game last night (yup, I’m an occasional gamer) and it hit me that some of the “rules” I make up for the game are silly. Like I have to go a certain route or do things a certain way in particular parts of the game. When in reality there are probably more efficient ways to get things done.

And as I realized that it hit me that I also do the exact same thing in my life. We all do. For instance we make up rules that our money has to come from certain sources. Or that we have to eat a certain way and take certain supplements and/or meds to be healthy. Or that we have to be educated a certain way to be successful. And so on.

Not that there’s anything wrong with this. It’s feels good to have “rules” and routines that make life feel comfortable and safe. The problem is when we start to believe that our “rules” are facts and that’s just the way life is. Because once that happens we become trapped by our own selves.

And then we wonder why our manifesting projects aren’t working so well.

So after pondering this for a bit, I decided that maybe it’s time for a few re-writes. Time to re-think some of my “rules” about life and see if they make sense or if it’s time to let them go.

I can write new rules. Ones that better reflect who I am today and who I’m becoming tomorrow. Rules that reflect life as I’m creating it rather than “what is.” And I want you to consider doing it with me. Look at your own rules. See if they still make sense for you and if not….how about a re-write!

Oh and my first new rule: Nothing is written in stone and all rules are subject to change :)
