Changing Personal Stories
00:00:35
Speaker
It's miracle season.
00:00:39
Speaker
Today on Spiritual Fitness, I will teach you and talk to you about shifting and changing your story to create a new life, a new identity, and a new reality. I'm your host, Eric Bigger, and today I'm going to tap into storytelling and how to story shape our lives that we tell ourselves.
00:00:57
Speaker
So think about your life right now. I got a few questions. What is your story around money? What is your story around success? What is your story around love? What's your story around your body? What's your story around fear?
00:01:10
Speaker
You're like, what? I'm like, yeah, you have a belief, which is a story, which becomes a experience that becomes your reality because you believe it. Some people believe making money is easy.
00:01:22
Speaker
They're making money out the wazoo. They're making money in the sleep because the story they tell ourselves about money, lunch money's easy to make. Some people think finding love and having love is is easy.
00:01:33
Speaker
Some people think it's hard. Some people... are not afraid of success. Some people are. The difference is the stories we have in our life come from where we were raised and how we grew up and how we've been programmed. So we have to create a new story and let go of the old story.
Impact of Perspective Shift
00:01:52
Speaker
So I want to share stories. The relationship with my mom in my life has been, you know, a challenge at times. I had a mother wound and in that space of that story, I feel like, well, my mother didn't love me. She wasn't there. She didn't do this. She didn't do that. Right? Boom. That was my story.
00:02:07
Speaker
And then every time I would find evidence to confirm that story of what my mom didn't do. and never thought about a story what did my mom do, right? That was great. However, I remember at one point, I think I was like 28 27, my mom said, okay, son, I hear you.
00:02:24
Speaker
But when you're going to change the story? was like, damn, you're right. I keep believing the same story. She's like, I know it's in the past. I could have did this. I could have did that.
00:02:35
Speaker
I get it. She was right. So recently, maybe like two weeks ago, three weeks ago, you know, my mom name would come up. I love my mom. mom's like my best friend. and I tell her everything, right? Or whatever she wants to know. That's my mom.
00:02:49
Speaker
But when she's not with me, when old stories come up, I still got this energy in my body. about my mom. And then when someone talks about that part of my journey, those emotions comes up. I'm like, so I thought I was kind of over it.
00:03:03
Speaker
Anyway, I wasn't. Those emotions were still in my body. That story was still present. And this was right before my mom was coming out here to Orange County to see me. When I got in front of her, i didn't feel anything. Didn't feel any negative emotions. I didn't just feel all, I felt like, this my mom. She
Letting Go of Past Stories
00:03:18
Speaker
looks like me. I look like her. I love her. other da da dada You know?
00:03:21
Speaker
And i actually was talking to her about this thing I had, this challenge. And I shared it with my partner and a woman. She said, the reason that story is still available in you is because the emotions are so heavy that that part of your story and journey keeps you connected to her. And I was like, why? Because that's your mom.
00:03:43
Speaker
He said, but because you still have that story and you have that emotion, you can't move forward or'll go as far as you want within your relationship with us or in life because you're carrying that energy, which is that story in your frequency.
00:03:58
Speaker
So something as simple as the past that's been years, 15 plus years ago, that I'm still unconsciously, it's my unconscious body holding on to that story, those emotions, and it's getting in the way of my life.
00:04:12
Speaker
So once I cleared that, right, cleared that awareness to understand that this is a choice, I don't have to choose this, I can choose another story. I love my mom. Me and my mom, we we talk about everything. I even told my mom, I said, mom, I got a book and i'm writing about that story in a book for...
00:04:27
Speaker
You know I love you. I was like, honestly, I don't want nothing in the way from family stop me from being successful and great. That's on me. I'm
Creating a New Story
00:04:34
Speaker
choosing that. And she said, no, I get it. So I say all that to say, what story are you choosing that you are so embodied in that's stopping you from growing?
00:04:44
Speaker
Some of you could be, you've been betrayed in life, so you don't believe that your next partner can help you or your next partner is going to be healthy. Or if they are, they got something up their sleeve. or you keep getting bad jobs.
00:04:56
Speaker
All this is a old story. So right now, the big question is what story in your life that you're holding on to that carries heavy weight in your reality, your frequency, your body, your mind that you cannot let go of?
00:05:10
Speaker
You keep attracting the same partners. You keep attracting the same relationships, the same opportunity, the same fears around money. It is a story. change his story Change your change life. All right, so answer that question. What story are you holding in your body, in your frequency that's keep coming up that you know you wanna get rid of a somehow, some way you can? All right, answer that question.
00:05:31
Speaker
all right, let's get into the new story. The new story is, what do you want the story to be? story with my mom I want my mom and us to have a great relationship. Not that it has to be perfect, right? But I don't want no resistance and no energy when we talk. but That's my mom, right?
00:05:48
Speaker
I want it to be better. So that's the new story. So I have to co-create with my mom, choose new thoughts, choose new patterns, be more aware of what I'm calling in, what I'm choosing. And boom, now I feel better. I'm clear. I feel lighter.
00:06:01
Speaker
It's not in me no more. And it's crazy because when I had that conversation with her, I can feel something left us in that space. And now we're more into this new story, which feels great, right? It feels like, I don't know. This feels good.
00:06:14
Speaker
So for you, what is the new story you want to create for your life, for your job, for your career, for your body, for your mind, for your
Role of Support in New Stories
00:06:20
Speaker
finances? You can literally create a new story. Now, the reason this a new story is not believable, because most times you don't have the evidence.
00:06:28
Speaker
In order to get the evidence, you've got to continue to step into the space of the new story. And guess what? In that new story, you might have a little bit of resistance. It might be uncomfortable. I'll give you a better story.
00:06:41
Speaker
I've never jumped in the ocean. never jumped the ocean. In 2023, I jumped in the ocean in Cancun. I was so afraid. It probably took me about two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes to jump in the ocean. But the moment I jumped in the ocean and swim, I created a new story.
00:06:57
Speaker
Now, what will make this story better, because I probably would hesitate to jump in again, is if I did it every day. And the more I do it every day, that new story becomes the natural state. So just know when you're creating a new story, you don't have the evidence for it to be true right away, but you gotta keep taking hits at it, keep taking steps at it, right?
00:07:15
Speaker
If I keep jumping in the ocean, it becomes my natural state. There's no resistance in that space and within me, right? Just know when you're creating this new story, it's gonna be uncomfortable because it's uncharted territory. And it's not gonna feel as safe, but you know it's fully your highest good.
00:07:31
Speaker
You know, leaving your old job or leaving the job you're in to go the new job is really good for your life. Even if the money's not there the other job the way you want, but the energy's there. You have more space in your life, more space in your consciousness. You're not around the same people. When I moved to Orange County,
00:07:46
Speaker
It didn't feel as familiar or normal because it's new, but it's probably the best decision I made in my life. You get what I'm saying? You hear what I'm saying? I really want you to understand this. If you look at life, anybody who has one big in life is because of the story they've told themselves about themselves over and over and over. And the people you look up to and the people you love is because those people have told a great story about who they are and what they are, and that's why you love them. That's why you buy their music or listen to their music. That's why you go watch their movies. That's why you go buy the clothes of these brands, right?
00:08:20
Speaker
That's why you might follow some of these folks. Because of the story they tell themselves that you believe in inspire you to be like them or be admired to them. Because of a story. We're living in a story, which is our movie.
00:08:34
Speaker
So also in your new story that you want to create, to create a great story, going to need support. You're going need people in your life that's going to reassure you that, hey, you can jump in that ocean again. I'm here. I got your back.
Challenges of Leaving Old Stories
00:08:47
Speaker
You can leave your job. i'm go to help you find a better job. Listen, I know this relationship you've been in in 10 years is heavy and it's hard, but you know, It's better to leave this relationship.
00:08:58
Speaker
And guess what? When you leave it, it's going to feel heavy. It's going feel overwhelming. It's going be emotional. But guess what? Over time, those emotions and heaviness is going to die off and you're going feel better because your soul knows you don't belong there no more.
00:09:09
Speaker
So when you're choosing a new story, get around people who have the story you want. Get a proximity. Read their books. Follow them. Or maybe it's a family member or a friend. Ask us them questions. You need support in your new story.
00:09:22
Speaker
Right? That's it. Get rid of the old story. Let's get into the new story. And we know why we stay in old story. So don't judge yourself for going back or relapse. And this is why self-sabotage comes in with most people when success is coming because they don't trust the new story of success that's coming. So they relapse and go into the old story because it's safe, it's familiar, even if it's bad. That's why people relapse on eating bad food again or gaining more weight or smoking or alcohol or going back to their ex.
00:09:49
Speaker
Because it's a pattern of the old that's safe and familiar with the frequency within their body and nervous system. So they stay there. So don't judge yourself. Have compassion. But I need you to get into the new story of your life. Because there's a new timeline. There's new opportunity with infinite possibilities. There's greatness, greater awareness, more money, more availability, more higher consciousness, more soul-fulfilling work and life and livelihood.
00:10:14
Speaker
and you're more spiritually fit and rich. That's what it's about. But you gotta move into the new story.
Eric's Book Writing Journey
00:10:21
Speaker
So right now, what story you wanna create for your life? Don't get into the logical mind of, I don't know how that's gonna happen.
00:10:29
Speaker
If you put it out there and you say it and you consciously think of it and move into it, even do you do step by step, eventually it will happen. I always said I wanted a podcast. I always said wanted to write books.
00:10:41
Speaker
Guess what? It took me two years to write my book, Spiritual Fitness. By the way, get the pre-order. Got it right here. Get the pre-order. Hargazate, if it comes out, order it now. It took me two years to write this, but I wanted to write a new story. I wanted to write the, and here it is.
00:10:55
Speaker
i didn't know was going to look like this two years ago, but here we are. Spiritual fitness, man, it's part of my new story, my new reality. So I'm giving you the evidence of what I've lived and embodied to tell you it's okay that the old story is still conquering you, but we can move into and a new story that can relieve you of the old story.
00:11:14
Speaker
And most times people don't get into the news story because they don't have evidence, like I said before.
