Did you ever ask yourself, what does your ideal self look like? Maybe this perfect you is incredibly fit. Or in a fantastic relationship. Or rich enough to never worry about money. Now, what if someone told you that you can become that person? All you have to do is decide that that’s who you are.
You might be thinking this is far-fetched, but it actually works! How you see yourself shapes your experiences. So, if you adopt empowering beliefs about yourself, your behavior follows suit, and so does your life.
Your identity informs your experience. See yourself differently and your life will change.
The first part of the process is imagining your perfect life. Ask yourself, If things like money or location didn’t matter, what would a perfect day look like? We’re not talking about extreme experiences like climbing Mount Everest. Just consider an average day in your perfect life.
Journal about this day to understand the kind of person you’d like to be before moving on to the next step – fleshing out this person.
Determine how your perfect self fares in the four aspects of a healthy identity. These are:
- Well-being
- Creativity and inspiration
- Abundance and power
- and love and connection
Write about how your ideal self is doing in each area. Is this self healthy and energized? Productive and driven? Does this self have access to money and resources, and enjoy high-quality relationships? The goal is to determine who you need to become to live that perfect day.
When you know as much as you possibly can about your perfect self, it’s time to adopt that self’s beliefs and behaviors. You do this using the Lofty Questions technique.
Lofty questions encourage your subconscious mind to make a positive identity shift. They help you get out of stuck emotional states and manifest more effectively with the Law of Attraction. They allow your subconscious mind and the universe to find creative answers to the question posed.
Lofty questions should always be positively phrased questions, that encourages helpful answers, insides and solutions. These positive questions are composed by you and are answered by you. The subconscious mind and your brain loves to answer questions. If you give it a good question, then you will get a good answer. But if you give your brain and subconscious mind a poor question, surprisingly you will get a poor answer.
Unlike affirmations, which involve repeating statements until you believe them, the Lofty Questions technique poses a question and encourages your brain to find evidence. For example, in asking the question, “Why am I so creative?” your subconscious will look for proof of creativity. The more proof it finds, the more you’ll believe that you’re creative.
To implement the technique, come up with at most 10 questions based on the perfect identity that you’ve created and then meditate on them daily. You’ll start adopting the behaviors they point to, and as you do, you might add more questions. Given time, you and your entire life will change.
