Do you compare your achievements, successes, and failures versus others and get stressed? Do you compare your children with your nephews or nieces? Do you feel envious of some friends who seem to be always luckier than you?
Do you compare your spouse, or parents or children with others and wish that they were better, calmer, more open, more confident, more patient, less loud, more mindful?
What is the story you keep telling yourself about your child or parents or siblings? What is it that you are saying again and again and confirming in your subconscious?
Are you aware that you are always on the look-out for stories that confirm the existing story – Do you know that your mind without your awareness negates stories that are different from yours and only accepts and plays those stories which confirms your bias.
Have you noticed that you mind is like that TV Channel which is biased and rooting for you and only playing those stories that you want to see and how our emotions and thoughts play along with the stories we tell ourselves.
Just becoming aware can give us an idea of what story we are building in our minds about our family and attracting them in to our lives. And just knowing this and watching it everyday can bring about a huge shift in our perspective.
