Even Though..

We know that shifting our focus is a powerful tool to create a happier more successful life. However, sometimes focusing on our desired outcome can be quite challenging when we are surrounded by the daily reminders of the "realities" of our lives.

We focus on increasing our sales and then look at our bleak open order report. 

We focus on abundance and then we look at all of the bad news about the economy. 

We focus on having a loving partner and then we spend our weekends alone. 

We focus on being our own boss and then spend our days in cubicle hell. 

How do we not get stuck in our present reality and create something new?

It is helpful to acknowledge your current reality in order to move past it. 

Don’t deny it. Reframe it. 

And to do this the simple words EVEN THOUGH can be transformational. 

Reframing our intentions with Even Though can help show contrast between where we are and where we want to go. 

This reframing looks like this: 

Even though I have X in my bank account, I know money can and will flow easily to me. 

Even though I am currently single, I know that a wonderful loving partner will soon be in my life. 

Even though I go to this job every day, I know that I am an entrepreneur at heart and I will be my own boss. 

These 2 little words help reframe your reality. They help acknowledge where you are now without keeping you stuck there.

Even Though works wonders on our tricky, analytical brains that want to offer up all of the solid evidence to the contrary every time we we dare to dream.

Even though says “Yes, I see you bank account, empty house, depressing cubicle- I see you and I choose to move beyond you to my future.” 

Try it out for yourself in your intentions, mantras and self talk. 

Even though this is my current reality, I know a better life is possible. 

Two little words can change your life.

Don’t deny your reality, transcend it. 

Can you add in some “Even Though” to your self-talk today?
