MINDSET to MANIFESTATION with Christina DiStefano

This is a portion if the weekly email sent out every Sunday that couples with the message of podcast. If you haven't already signed up to be part of the MTM community and benefit from all these free manifesting and empowering resources, then head over to www.mindsettomanifestation.com and signup. You'll also receive my free Manifestation Transformation Care Package, full of love, light and abundance tools. ........ What I came to realize is that the MOTIVATION for doing these things--this self care (exercise, meditation, breath work) and acts of self love (boundaries, caring for my self esteem, being mindful of my thinking) are currently rooted in FEAR and that I must correct my thinking. I knew I had to go into the basement (forever in love with this analogy) because I don't want FEAR to be my motivator. Remember, FEAR exists in the energy and vibration of lack---the complete opposite of LOVE, FAITH & ABUNDANCE. Which is our natural state, we just have these things stuck to us (the program) and we lost sight of our light. This made me get very curious. What other things in my life, seemingly good acts of self care and self love are rooted in FEAR (and not in LOVE)? As I explored these thoughts and their rootedness in FEAR I challenged each one by asking if it were true. Does this have to be my truth or can my truth be more empowering? Is there a way I can reframe it? Look at it differently? To assign a new more empowered meaning to it? To tell a new story. For those things that involved the thoughts, opinions and acts of others, which I have no control of (and none of my business), I challenged myself to find my own value and meaning--detached from what someone else may think. I am the creator of my story and if I don't like what I see, I can reframe this moment/memory/situation and write a new story where I am the badass, amazing person that does incredible things and maybe they don't know it right now but someday they will. Insert the fire emoji here!!!!! Because this GIRL IS ON FIRE! My mom always told me that FEAR is just False Evidence Appearing Real. She was right. SO this week I ask you to take note, when you have a quiet moment or as life is buzzing past you and you're knee deep in the thick of it, WHERE is your motivation coming from? Is it rooted in LOVE or FEAR? If you go inward and find that what you thought was rooted in self love, is actually in FEAR, then I encourage you to go down deep and explore the root of the fear. Maybe we share some of the same fears. I think many of us do, but maybe there are some new ones down there that are worthy of finally bringing them upstairs into the open light, to examine, to reassess, to reframe and to finally release. Good luck this week. Sending you so much love from NYC. XOXOCM @mindsettomanifestation

The Ripple Effect of Every Action and Decision

I want to start off by saying that some point in your life journey, you are going to be presented with the opportunity to make the most empowered decision of your life: to face your truth, embrace who you used to be, who you are right now, and the person you desire to be in the future. Desire for transformation is not enough by itself. That little fire that exists within your soul longing to transform your life must be met with some strategic inspired action. I myself, have been driven by the idea of a quantum leap into this new up-leveled, transformed life and thought that the only good transformation was radically visible therefore required extreme focus and concentration to get the big results I wanted so badly. But the truth is, the small actions you implement now, have a ripple effect, creating bigger waves that touch multiple areas of your life. The small things, like an immediate shift in mindset that offers us a new lens to look though, sets the foundation for lifelong change and the ability to manifest as a lifestyle. When I tell you to go into the basement, I am guiding you to reshaping the lens you look though. By getting curious about what’s down there, challenging its validity, shifting the experience to one that can bring forward understanding and question how you can gain wisdom from the experience. These little steps in the right direction make a big impact subconsciously as you rewire the neural pathways of the brain. Think of the new thought as a dirt path in unknown territory, that after being traveled over and over again (via repeated self-talk, new thinking, reframing/looking through a new lens thus new behavior), has now transformed into a clear paved roadway. After continued use over and over again, this paved road becomes a superhighway. You create a ripple both in the outer world, and most importantly in your inner world each time you visit the basement and face the stuff that you’ve been hiding from. Simply changing the way you speak to yourself in a more caring and compassionate way, like someone that loves themselves, is another small ripple with big impact. Good luck this week!!!
