Your physiology begins to align with the fulfillment of your vision.
Your thoughts, words and actions begin to align with the fulfillment of your vision.
And with practice, your vision becomes your lived reality.

I discuss the importance of shifting your habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and doing. We must do something new to create something new in our life. The old loops of thinking and feeling will just keep us stuck. We need to recognize these patterns and find ways to interrupt them. One of the best ways to interrupt habitual programming is to do something new!
