Welcome back to The Shift — your weekly dose of mindset rewires, perspective pivots, and internal upgrades for ambitious dreamers and doers ready to move through blocks and into bold, aligned action.

Hey y’all,Ā 

Happy Sunday! Hope your morning is off to a great start.

Today I’m feeling inspired to write about this truth:

Your external reality is a reflection of what you feel, think, and believe internally.

Let’s relate this to your dreams — and the life you ideally want to live.

Take a moment to reflect:

  • Who are you right now, and how are you showing up?

  • Now think about the life you desire. Who is that version of you?

  • How do they move through the world?

  • What energy do they carry?

Notice the differences?

Let’s take money, for example.

If you currently feel you lack money — what's your mindset around it right now?

Now flip it:
If you felt abundant — financially resourced and at ease — how would your energy and beliefs shift?

Or maybe you have creative or entrepreneurial goals, but you're not fully living them yet.
What’s your current relationship to those dreams?
Do you treat them like a hobby? Something out of reach?
Or something real — something worth investing in?

Now imagine you were already living those dreams:

  • How would you talk about your work?

  • What decisions would you make? How would you spend your Tuesday morning?

  • Who would you surround yourself with?

  • What would you say yes to? What would you say no to?

  • How would you carry yourself?

It’s likely completely different.

You’d be thinking differently.
Making aligned choices.
Surrounded by people who reflect and reinforce that energy —
Because you’d be embodying a different version of you.

🧠 The science backs it up.

This isn’t just a feel-good mantra — it’s backed by neuroscience and behavioral psychology.

  • Neuroscience shows that your brain doesn’t distinguish much between imagination and reality. When you visualize and emotionally feel a new identity or future, your brain begins rewiring itself to make that your new normal.

  • Dr. Joe Dispenza explains that repeated thoughts and emotions create neural pathways that reinforce your identity. When you start embodying the mindset and emotions of your future self, you're literally reshaping how your brain operates.

  • Behavioral science introduces the concept of identity-based habits. Real change doesn’t come from setting goals — it comes from becoming the person who naturally achieves them.

So if you want your dream life…
You need to start showing up like the version of you who already has it.

ā

You’ll keep repeating the same reality if you don’t start showing up as the version of you who already has what you want.

Tap into that version.
Embody them.
Feel into who they are, what they believe, how they move through the world.

Ideally — do this daily.

When you do?
Your decisions shift.
Your energy shifts.
And slowly but surely… your external world begins to shift too.

It all starts within.

So today, let’s take radical responsibility for our current lives — not from blame, but from empowerment.

Let’s recognize that we have the power to shift our outer world by shifting our internal state.

It starts with awareness.
It continues with intention.
And it compounds through aligned action — one choice at a time.

You are not stuck — you are being invited to evolve.
And you already have everything you need within you to begin.

šŸŽ§ Ready to embody that next version of you?

If you're reading this, it's likely no accident.
But if you haven’t taken action yet… there may be something internal holding you back.
There’s likely some inner work still calling for your attention.

That’s why I created this guided visualization — to give you a taste of the internal work we do together.
It’s free, and it’s the perfect way to start practicing what it feels like to step into that future version of you.

We did a similar powerful meditation/visioning at our latest Global Dream Cafe, and this is what attendee Eman shared afterward: Watch her transformation here. When you actually do this work, the shifts are real.

And if you're ready to go deeper...

This is exactly what we’re doing inside Global Dream Team — taking aligned action together, alongside other visionaries building lives they’re proud of.

P.S. If you try the meditation, I’d love to hear how it felt for you — just hit reply, I read every message. :)
I actually did it myself before sending this, and what came through was an expansive vision for a collaborative experience I’m feeling called to create next — specifically for creators in the GDT fam.

Yay for aligned ideas.
