Your Personal Reality

The first few times I heard Dr. Joe talk about personalities and the need to change them if we want to manifest change in our lives, I was a little taken aback. My thought was, “why would/should I want to change my personality – isn’t that who I am?” But it became clearer to me over time that he was referring to those parts of myself that generate less-desirable outcomes. And thus began the introspection!

What types of things do I think about every day?

What emotions do I feel on a regular basis? Joy? Annoyance? Bitterness? Abundance?

Who is on my mind often? What kinds of thoughts am I having about them?

How do I talk to myself? Look at myself?

Why do I do the things that I do? Are my actions motivated from spaces of love and genuine concern? Or from obligation and a need to be seen?

Most of these answers weren’t flattering. When I really started becoming more conscious (an ongoing, never-ending process, really) of how I allocated my energy, I became more motivated to make changes.

Well, Katie, this is all fine and dandy, but what in the world does it have to do with birth work? I’ll tell you! I grew up with a somewhat negative view and poor understanding of pregnancy and birth. Birth was talked about in a way that made it seem horribly traumatic and I perceived it to be one of the short-stick obligations handed out to women. Movies and media also didn’t help. Needless to say, I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to becoming a mom and so I put it out of my mind as often as it threatened entrance.

When I became pregnant with my first baby in 2016, I honestly don’t know what came over me. The only way I can explain it was a “knowing”. I knew exactly how I wanted to birth and I felt a deep, unfamiliar confidence that I could do it. But past that initial confidence boost, I knew I still had a lot of learning and unlearning to do! A lot of subconscious beliefs and programming that needed to be rewritten.

And THIS is where the quotes come in!

My personality around birth – how I thought, acted, and felt – consisted mostly of fear in many of its forms. There are numerous ways one can go about changing beliefs and perceptions, but I chose Hypnobabies as my birth preparation class for my first birth. This was the tool I used to access and upgrade my underlying beliefs about pregnancy and birth. I started becoming more conscious of my previously unconscious thoughts. Pregnancy became a privilege rather than a short-stick burden. I released loads of fear and replaced it with trust and confidence in my divine design. When the time came to give birth, I was still plunged into the unknown, but thankfully, I had a wealth of positive input to draw from when the intensity soared.

To bring things full circle, this principle can be applied to every. single. area. of life! I’m a firm believer that what we hold in mind tends to materialize in our world. It’s a daily process and journey to become more conscious of our unconscious patterns. Every day one can work toward cultivating feelings of abundance, peace, and love for life to replace those of turmoil and lack. Thoughts are the electric signal, and feelings are the magnetic signal and these elements combine to create the electromagnetic field of energy that surrounds our physical body. Therefore, through changing our personality (inner world), our personal reality (outer world) can shift to reflect what is going on internally. 

I hope you enjoyed this read! Thanks for your time.

“Your personality is made up of how you think, act, and feel. It is your state of being. Therefore, your same thoughts, actions, and feelings will keep you enslaved to the same past personal reality. However, when you as a personality embrace new thoughts, actions, and feelings, you will inevitably create a new personal reality in your future.”

“How you think, how you act, and how you feel is called your personality, and your personality creates your personal reality. When you change your personality, you change your personal reality.”
