How Your Morning Journal Raises Your Vibration
and why this very habit can change your life
Even on our best days when everything is going right, we may often hear a voice in our head that usually starts with two heavy words: “If Only”.
What comes after these two words is typically the grass that is greener on the other side.
“If only I can be a freelancer and own my time”, “If only I have more money”, “If only I live closer to the sea”…etc. No matter what it is, the point being, in your head IT is better than what IS.
This naturally causes us to feel a little resistance to where we are now and where we’d like to be. This resistance, no matter how small, causes our vibration to dip; it causes us to feel somehow off.
Being ‘here’ and wanting to be ‘there’ can make us feel stuck in limbo, and when the going gets hard, we may even just surrender to what IS and start living our life on autopilot; waiting for something to show up from out of the blue to take us ‘there’.
But what if we can go ‘there’ now?
I did an experiment where I would ‘visit’ my future every morning. In other words, I started writing in my journal every morning describing the future that I want, and that shifted the way I live my life.
Evidence Why This Works
1. Writing about your future Raises Your Vibration
It is one thing to think about the future that you want, and a totally different thing to write about it
When you think about the future that you want, you usually think about it with frustration and despair; you think about it from a place of lack.
But when you write it down in the present tense, your mind registers it to be true. Here’s the trick, Dr. Joe Dispenza says:
your mind cannot tell the difference between what’s real or imagined in the present moment. Your mind ONLY knows the moment and identifies it as true.
When your mind identifies what you have written as true, you automatically raise your vibration every morning. When you raise your vibration you become on a frequency aligned with the high frequency of the beautiful things that you want, and so you become a magnet to it.
2. Writing about your future Bonds your Energy with it
What we wish for in the future, holds all the lovely emotions that we will feel once we get what we want. When you feel all these wonderful emotions, your general state of being will be elevated and there won’t be much space left for negativity.
What if we can FEEL all these wonderful emotions every morning as we write about that which we want before it actually happens? Logically, we will feel elevated, and if you keep up this habit every morning, your energy will change.
Dr. Wayne Dyer said it in very simple terms: “assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled”.
This is how my energy changed when I did this:
- I became less reactive to what’s happening around me and more calm and responsive.
- I became way less judgmental of my environment and more accepting of it
- I did not feel in limbo anymore; I did not feel like I was stuck.
3. When you write about your future, your resistance to the present tones down
When you resist something your energy body goes weak, which means your vibration dips and becomes aligned to that which you are resisting, and so you keep attracting it back into your reality.
Carl Jung says it best:
“What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.”
But when you write about your future in the present tense on a daily basis, you reprogram your subconscious mind into believing it’s real.
You make it clear and visible to your mind that you are not stuck or forced to remain in the reality you are in. Consequently, you don’t feel the need to resist your present anymore knowing it is changing.
To Sum Up
Writing about your future in the present tense puts you in touch with the reality you want to create, it bonds you with the emotion of the future and it bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
My advice to you:
- Write from a place of gratitude not a place of lack
- Write in the present tense
- Get creative, there are no limits
- Write as soon as you wake up while your brain is still in theta wave
If I were you, I’d give it a shot
