What Lives in Your Gut vs. What Lives in Your Heart
What happens when you stop running from your patterns and start rewriting them
My M.U.D. (misguided unconscious decisions) formed when I didn’t know how to process or respond to painful life events.
My instincts were based on this M.U.D.
Those instincts lived in my gut. It cautioned me to stay the same, to embrace the ‘safe’ familiarity time and time again.
We can recognize our M.U.D. through:
Repeating obstacles
Stuck emotions
Recurring patterns
Wanting to break free of the repeating obstacles, stuck emotions, and recurring patterns I…
left relationships believing it would solve the issue and be different next time. (It wasn’t).
bought self-help books in search of the magic answer. (It wasn’t in those books).
moved cross-country, from Long Island to Las Vegas, to change my life. Surely this was the answer. (It wasn’t. In fact, life got worse.)
Turns out I took my M.U.D. along with me, like an invisible pack strapped to my back.
I brought my story of me into all my relationships.
M.U.D. distorted the lens I read those books through.
And of course, that back pack went along with me on my cross-country move to Las Vegas.
Thankfully, I’m persistent.
I kept trying, throwing pasta at the wall until something stuck.
And a couple of things did, like Emotional Freedom Technique, FasterEFT, Hypnosis, and Havening.
These tools supported me in rewriting my past.
Though it was a great start, and I finally began gaining traction in changing who I thought I was based on all that M.U.D., it wasn’t enough.
I was still dancing with repeating obstacles, stuck emotions, and recurring patterns like a marionette.
This told me something was missing.
Being persistent pays off, though.
Now I’m gaining my freedom from years of unconscious M.U.D. through the 3Rs:
Rewrite the stories
Rewire the emotional holding patterns
Retrain my nervous system
Taking ownership of my stories and how I tell them to myself and others, I forever change my perception.
Rewiring my emotional holding patterns changes my responses to life events.
Retraining my nervous system allows me to experience safeness over anxiety.
And best of all, because I see myself differently, I am different.
This cumulative process and transformation is building a new structure within my heart. It is intuition.
Earned intuition paves the way for:
Synchronicities
Serendipities
Opportunites
Synchronicities, serendipities, and opportunities were always there. I could not see them, or feel them, because my M.U.D. obscured them.
Consider your life.
What are the repeating obstacles, stuck emotions, and recurring patterns that drive it?
What stories do you tell yourself about them?
If you’re ready to stop dancing with the same patterns like a marionette - if you’re done moving cities, ending relationships, or buying books hoping this will be different - I’d love to invite you to Collateral Changes.
It’s a monthly workshop where we work with the first part of the 3Rs: rewriting the memories and stories that contributed to our M.U.D.
Because intuition isn’t found in a book or a new zip code. It’s earned through the work of transformation.
Collateral Changes is Saturday, February 21st at 9:30 am. I would love to see you there!
