Scripting Your Ideal Life


For the past few weeks I’ve been leading weekly scripting calls over at my new favorite hangout on the web, Good Vibe University. Scripting is the practice of speaking about something you’d like to manifest as if it’s already happened, i.e. that thing or situation is already a part of your life.

At first this can seem a bit awkward, because when most of us talk about things we want, we talk about them from a place of lack. These things haven't made an appearance in our realities yet, and therefore we're still in a vibe of wanting them. Scripting is a fantastic exercise to activate the vibration of having something, which speeds up its attraction to you. Remember, the law of attraction states that "like attracts like." By scripting and talking about things as if they’ve already happened, you're invoking the energy that is needed to make your dreams come true.

The good news is, you don’t have to join a scripting call to get benefits from this sort of exercise. In fact, you can start scripting in your mind right this very second!

Think about a particular goal or desire you’d like to see come to fruition in the next few months. It could be anything: weight loss, improved finances, a new relationship, more energy, etc. Next, think about how you would speak about this goal to others if it had already come true. What would you tell your friends and family, now that this thing is a part of your life? Would you talk about it more or less? Would the tone of your voice change, or the energy behind the words you speak?

You can also call to mind someone who already has success in that area that you’re trying to replicate. It could be someone you know, or even a character in your favorite movie or television show. Think about how this person talks about what you're trying to manifest, and even how they talk to themselves about this particular thing. They may not even talk about it very much at all because it’s already a part of their life! Is there a particular body language associated with how they talk about it?

You know the next step. Start using those same words, self-talk, behavior, etc. in order to manifest that thing or situation into your life! In some circumstances it might not be feasible to script out loud, but you can certainly script in your mind at all times. Talk to yourself as if your desire is already a reality in your world. How does that change the way you talk to yourself in this particular area?

If this feels too awkward for you at first, try imagining that you’re an actor in a play or movie and that you’re playing the role of someone who is living your ideal life. Really get into the character and feel the emotions that this person would have. Even if you’ve been playing the role of someone who's not successful in a particular area up until now, you can change the role you’ve been playing in your life at any time you choose!

Here's an example: Say you’ve been thinking about taking up yoga, but you’re typically a wallflower or homebody and not very comfortable meeting new people. As much as you’d like to start a weekly yoga practice, the thought of joining a studio where you won’t know anyone is just not appealing to you. Instead of allowing this to hamper you and hold you back, try some of the methods I described above.

You can start scripting to your friends about how excited you are to join the new yoga studio (even if inside you feel completely the opposite). Next you can actually go to the studio to sign up, and assume the role of someone who is confident, outgoing, and open to new situations and people. Rather than falling into your old pattern of keeping to yourself, try striking up a conversation with the person behind the front desk or even one of the yogis at the studio. I’m not saying these changes are going to happen overnight, and it might require a little willpower on your part, but it is possible and it can be done!

I'd love to hear your experience with any of the above techniques! By using them on a consistent basis, you will begin to feel more comfortable actually having your desires as part of your life and it won’t feel so foreign to you. Once that happens, it's only a matter of time before those things seem to magically show up in your reality!

  1. Mary,

    Outstanding post!

    One of the thoughts that came up in my mind while I was reading this was:

    "Fake it till you make it."

    I have been studying the law of attraction for nearly three years since I first learned about "The Secret" back in early 2007.

    However, I have only recently truly learned what I think is maybe the most important point. And that is while there is a lot of talk about your thoughts creating your reality, I think it is more accurate to say that your FEELINGS create your reality.

    Using the scripting method that you described, you are changing your feelings. You instead feel like you already have what you want. When you do this, it's very difficult to feel lack, because you feel like you already have what you want.

    A couple of years ago, I tried saying lots of affirmations. And they didn't work for me at all. I think the reason was that my feelings were not matching my thoughts.

    Even though I was thinking lots of positive thoughts, I was actually sending out a negative vibration, because I was feeling the lack of what I wanted.

    Here is a funny story. Maybe around a year ago, I was listening to an Abraham-Hicks CD where Abraham said that somebody made a comment like this:

    "You just want me to pretend that I have my ideal boyfriend/girlfriend to the point where I don't even notice that they aren't even there yet."

    Abraham respond by saying:

    "EXACTLY!!!"

    Thanks again for the very interesting post!

  2. Greg, thanks so much for stopping by!! There was a wealth of information in your comment alone:)

    I completely agree with you. Just changing your thoughts doesn't really get at the heart of consciously using the law of attraction to create the results you want in life. It is certainly part of the equation, but not the *entire* equation. Ultimately, it's all about our feelings and how we feel about ourselves, our goals/dreams, and life itself!

    Wow, I love the quote you gave about the boyfriend/girlfriend from the Abe CD. That is a great recipe for attracting anything in life, not just a romantic relationship. Thank you for sharing that!!

    And yes, 'fake it til you make it' was also running through my mind as I wrote this post. We are definitely on the same page!

    Stop by anytime and share your thoughts! It's a pleasure to connect with like-minded individuals such as yourself:)

  3. Thanks or a great post. As they say in some programs: "Easy does it!" But sometimes I make the "easy" a little to hard. I dont know why i end up going up streams more often than down streams.... i know what I need to work on! Hahahahha

    There is a new book that is set to be released on August 17 2010 by Rhonda Byrne -the woman who wrote The Secret- It is called The Power. If it is anything like her first book, it will be a success!!

    And I find that: The more I write my script, the more coincidence come up.

  6. The details are still being labored out by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which up to now has accredited interactive gaming licenses for five of 10 casinos which have applied. Before the casinos can launch on-line gaming, however, the gaming board needs to test the operators' safety techniques, together with the precision of their geolocation software. Online gaming in Pennsylvania, which incorporates poker, simulated slot machines, and desk games similar to blackjack, is expected to be launched by yr's finish.
