How to transform yourself in 24 hours!

"Oops, I Did It Again"

So, today I want to share an experience of mine with you. Two days back, I was upbeat, successful, the most enlightened person I was, and then somewhere by night, my familiar ego started to speak. It has this long list, you know? List of things that are going wrong. And did not catch myself falling into the all-familiar trap. And before I knew it, I was feeling like a disaster and by yesterday morning I had wheezing and it felt like I had no way to recover!

My life had done a full 360!!!

By yesterday, another angle of ego had taken over. The one that said “Really? Is this what you are going to do now? Are you going to fall back into your familiar patterns? You know you create your reality, then why are you choosing this hell?” It was crazy, so one side of me was suffering, and another side of me was blaming myself for the suffering!

Instant Transformation

At this point, I decided to hyper-focus on nature and let the ego do whatever it wanted. Each time my ego started to speak, I would just turn my thoughts to nature. Some part of me was silently laughing at my own actions. That was it! I grabbed onto that joy, that part that could laugh and be silly! And that is how I transformed into another person in 24 hours.

You see, when you want to really see a change in yourself, you really need to transform as a person. You need to die to your old self so that the new self can emerge. Every moment we are making this choice. What kind of person am I being? Actually, we don’t even need 24 hours to transform, just a split second will do. It is all about making a decision and then sticking to the decision.

Reframing Your Story

We all think that we need to improve. So we join all kinds of classes, read all kinds of books, and get into this never-ending quest for improvement. Without realizing that we already are all that we want to be, but are we choosing to be that version of ourselves? Who am I showing up to the world as? Who am I showing up to myself as? That needs to be the question.

We are always transforming, that is the nature of life, a zygote transformed into a full-fledged human being. Moving from one stage to another is transformation.

Moving from one mindset to another is also a transformation. Want to come out of you misery, first accept yourself as a person who does not have miseries. If I walk around with labels for myself, how can I transform? “I always have bad luck?” No! A version of you has bad luck, but you can change the versions. How do you change? Transform. Imagine how would a lucky person be? How would your thoughts and behaviors be if you were always lucky? Then live your life from that assumption. Don’t be afraid of things going wrong, take it for granted that things will go right. Even if initially old stripes repeat, tell yourself that that is an old story, in the process of crumbling. I am already the new version inside, the outside will catch up to me. Embody this person.

How are you treating yourself? What stories are you telling yourself?
