We talk a lot about creating our own reality.
But what if we have turned the proces of creations into micomanaging our inner life?
For a long time, I believed creating my reality meant actively working on my inner world—shifting my thoughts, changing my state, cultivating positive emotions and constantly trying to become a better version of myself.
And underneath it all was a subtle belief: If I can change my inner world, I can change my reality. But eventually, I began to wonder if creating and controlling had somehow become the same thing.
What if our inner world isn't something we are meant to control?
Thoughts arise.
Feelings move through us.
Images, memories, impulses and ideas appear—often without us consciously choosing them.
So perhaps our power isn't in controlling what appears.
Perhaps it is in changing our relationship with what appears...
In this Heartist Transmission, I explore what becomes possible when we stop treating our inner world as something to fix or manage —and instead begin meeting it with curiosity.
Because the things we once saw as limitations, negative emotions and experiences can become raw material for creation.
Our experiences can become art.
A new perspective.
A conversation.
A story.
A motivation to be in service to others.
Maybe creation is less about management and control - and more about creating an intimate relationship with our inner life.
And perhaps becoming a conscious creator isn't about mastering ourselves into the “right” state— but about becoming more available to what is already moving through us.
～ Reflection
What if you stopped treating your inner world as a problem to solve?
Think of something that has been appearing in you lately that you would normally label as unwanted — a fear, a belief, an emotion, a recurring thought, a part of yourself you wish were different.
❍ What happens if, instead of asking: “How do I get rid of this”?
—> you ask: “What if I became curious about this?”
❍ What might change if you stopped seeing this part of yourself as an obstacle and started seeing it as something that has information, history, intelligence or a need?
❍ And perhaps even more radically: What if this part of you has something to contribute to your creative life?
～ Put into practice
The next time an unpleasant thought, feeling or belief arises, imagine that this part of you is a child. Not a child you need to fix.
A child you want to get to know.
Then pause. Take a breath. And imagine connecting deeply this child.
Then explore, feel and ask:
What do you need?
What do you want me to know?
What are you afraid will happen?
What are you trying to protect?
And then listen.
You don’t need to make the feeling disappear.
You don’t need to turn it into a positive thought.
You don’t even need to understand it completely.
Just practice creating a different relationship with what arises.
With love
