Do you tell old stories? Wait…. Before you answer think about it.
I’m not just talking about the story that comes out of your mouth — what about the story that comes out of you vibrationaly?
I’m not even talking about you repeating a story — well I am ……. Let me explain…..
I was in Boston this past Saturday to attend an 
Abraham workshop. The place was packed – 500 people and some people were turned away as the room was full to capacity. And Abraham — Abraham was on fire and the message was – “Stop Telling the Same Old Story”. They also said – “The Art of Allowing is the Art of Telling a Different Story”.
What do they mean by “the same old story” – well some would call it reality. You know if you don’t have enough money and you keep talking about not having enough money. That is an old story! And it continually manifests itself in your life!
If you are sick and someone asks you how you are – what do you say to them?
- Do you tell them about your symptoms?
- Do you tell them the name of your diagnosis?
- What are you saying to yourself about your illness?
- Are you running it around in your head?
Have you noticed it is still there – quite possibly it is getting worse? It’s an old story!
Here is a simple scenario where many of us tell an old story:
You wake up in the morning and your throat feels a tiny bit scratchy…. Oh No you think – I must be getting sick. Off to work you go – your co-worker asks how you are doing – Gee you say – I’m feeling like I might be getting a cold. Ohhhh she says – there is a nasty cold going around the office – everyone is getting it and it is knocking them for several days.
As the afternoon rolls along your throat is feeling a bit worse – Oh I just know I am going to get that horrid cold that everyone has. Next morning you get up – your throat is scratchy and you are sniffling — Well here it is – I’ll probably get this by Friday and I’ll be sick all weekend……… As the day goes on – your symptoms get stronger – your old story keeps playing….. By Friday guess what? Yup — you got it! You got that same cold that is knocking everyone at your office on their backs! And Yup – you are sick in bed all weekend.
So you got that cold because it was rolling around in your office — or you got that cold because you told the story – the same old story?
Now you might want to argue with me and talk about germs, bacteria, etc…. You might want to tell me it is reality that the cold germs were in that office. Well you can tell me that – but I would say “that is an old story!” If I was in that office I would not have that horrid cold – I don’t do colds – I don’t do sick – I don’t tell those stories anymore – not to myself and not to other people.
Does that mean you will never, ever, ever see me blowing my nose…… Well mostly I am going to say that is true – but even if you did see me blowing my nose and if you asked me if I had a cold – I would tell you “No I don’t get colds – I’m doing AOK”
Well then Ellie — you would be lying! You would not be facing reality! Reality is that you are blowing your nose because you are getting a cold!!
What is reality? You act as if reality is a solid, static thing. It isn’t – It isn’t solid or static – it is energy and it is changing constantly – and it changes for each according to their perception. Reality is a perspective — so my reality and your reality is not the same thing!
Let’s take an accident – 10 people witness this accident. The police come and take all 10 witness reports. Guess what? Looks like there was ten accidents not one! Eash person’s perspective was different – each person’s reality was different.
I hear the statement – Face Reality – I say — You Can’t Face Reality – You Can only Create Reality – so if you are telling the same story – I am getting sick…. I am getting sick or I am broke…. I am broke — You are creating the same reality over and over again – You are creating sick and broke!
If the so-called reality that you are looking at does not serve you – if it does not feel good — change the reality – change it by telling a different story. I can still wake up in the morning and feel that scratchy throat – when that happens I have a different story – my story goes like this – “this is not a big deal – I’m doing OK” 99.9% of the time – the scratchy throat or sniffles goes away. What about the other .1% — yup sometime I still tell some old stories and when I do — it shows up! That is Law of Attraction.
If things are showing up in your life that you do not want — Stop talking about them – stop telling that story. Tell a new story – tell a story that makes you feel good. Remember how you feel is the vibration you are sending out to the Universe – it is that vibration – that signal that the Universe matches. “Like attracts Like”
So if you are telling a story that makes you feel good — by all means keep telling that story. But if you are talking about being broke or sick or about a bad relationship – you are sending out those signals to the Universe and you will get those type of things coming back to you.
Most of us tell old stories all the time — not just in our words to others but in our thoughts to ourselves. And most of the time we aren’t even aware we are doing it – that is because we have been doing it for so long – we aren’t even aware that these thoughts/stories make us feel pretty crummy!
So – how do I even recognize my old stories? And… How do I tell a new story?
