How To Break Out Of The Matrix

How To Break Out Of The Matrix

What are you going to choose?

The red pill or blue pill?

Keep living the life that’s been laid out for you or open your eyes to something new?

Most people are living in the Matrix: existing in a world we think to be real when in reality it’s all our own creation.

And we have the power to awaken any time we want to.

I know that sounds crazy when you think of all the things that are supposedly wrong with your life. Why would you actively create any of that for yourself?

The answer is because you’ve been trained to forget your own power. You’ve been trained to forget just how powerful you are.


But you don’t have to accept your life at face value. You have the power to change everything.



Living in the Matrix simply means that you’ve forgotten who you really are. You’ve forgotten that you have autonomy in this life. You’ve forgotten how to truly LOVE and respect yourself.

So if you feel like you’re trapped inside a life you didn’t create, there’s hope!

Because the funny thing about the Matrix is that it only exists if you agree to it.

It cannot happen without your consent! Because if you didn’t agree to it, you would be receiving something else.

So start by accepting where you are and how you made it all happen. Get down into it. Understand deeply that not only have you allowed it, you created it.

And perhaps the day has come to create something new.

There are four key ways to gain back control and hack the matrix of your life:


How To Break Out Of The Matrix


Break Out Of The Matrix Step #1:

Don’t Make Decisions From The Past



We all carry around stories about who we are and what that story means. We’ve come to think of our life in a certain way (usually from a victim perspective) and we use that perspective as an excuse for the way we live going forward.

Of course the big problem with living this way is that it keeps us permanently attached to a place where we really don’t want to be anymore. As long as you keep making decisions from that past experience, you are still experiencing it.

To make a change and start fresh, you must change your perspective! You must drop the stories and excuses and assumptions about yourself, the world, your “luck”. Everything. Think about who you want to be and where you want to go and make your decision from there.

If you want to be strong and empowered, you can be, starting right here and right now. All it takes is a major shift in your attitude.


Break Out Of The Matrix Step #2:

Call In Your Power



Are you giving your power away? You might be the strongest sassiest girl you know but there’s still a chance that you’re living your life according to what other people have told you.

This isn’t exactly your fault either! The human brain is a sponge for cues about what to think and say and how to act. The only problem is that we pick all that stuff up from the other very fallible humans that we interact with.

The more we listen to the scripts we’ve learned from other people (our mother who insists we’re overweight, the friend who is a little too concerned that we are single, the boyfriend who didn’t like your clothing or the third-grade teacher who embarrassed you in front of your whole class). One of the most important realizations to make in life is that very often people’s criticisms of you are simply a reflection of them.

Every relationship is a mirror. That means the things that bother you the most in other people are things that are true about you, somewhere deep down inside. But it’s the same for everyone! The people that tell you not to show off, not to brag, not to stand out too much, not to ask for what you really want in life are NOT on your team. And you don’t have to listen to a single one of those unhelpful opinions. Just because someone has told you something about you doesn’t make it TRUE. The only thing that makes it true is you deciding to live your life according to their opinions. You don’t have to let their issues dictate YOUR life.

Whether it’s a compliment or a critique, in the end, the only opinion that truly matters is yours. And you are far too infinite and constantly changing to be contained by any label or box.


Break Out Of The Matrix Step #3:

Realize Life Is A Game



Repeat after me: life is not happening to you. It’s happening for you! The hardships and lessons and mistakes are your opportunity to grow and expand. We rarely get bigger when we’re happy and not being challenged by anything. We typically experience growth only when we come up against a so-called problem.

It might feel like the Universe has given you too much to handle or that your voice has gotten lost somewhere along the way. But that’s totally untrue. Every “problem” is just another chance to shine. You’re actions and perceptions are everything and they have the power to transform.


Break Out Of The Matrix Step #4:

Become Willing To Change



For many people, the biggest problem with personal development is that we want the world around us to change but we don’t actually want to change ourselves. We want to be right about what’s happened to us. We want everyone else to suddenly show up for us in new and unexpected ways. But if we’re unwilling to see things differently, experiencing a new reality is going to be a challenge.

A Course In Miracles teaches that a miracle is a simple shift in perception. And it’s true. The entire world can’t change in a second but your reaction to it can. If you can’t open your heart and mind to the new, then keep expecting to repeat the past.

It’s okay to admit defeat. It’s okay to let past slights go. It’s okay to take responsibility for the things you said, the things you did, the values you used to have and the things you used to want. Becoming deeply okay with your mistakes and taking ownership of them is the only way to consciously create your own future.

It’s hard to get honest with yourself, but if you’re truly ready to change your life, you can. The power is right there inside you and it always has been.




I hope this post helps you break out of the Matrix you’ve been living and step consciously into a new life. It’s tough work but it’s oh so worth it! ????

Reminder: THIS ISN'T YOUR FOREVER PLACEMeaning: Reminder: THIS ISN'T YOUR FOREVER PLACEMeaning: whether good OR bad, this moment is only temporary.And even when the sh*t is hitting the fan, there's so MORE to your story than what's on the surface.Let me get personal for a moment.I've been pretty open here about my dark night of the soul story.(Basically, going from being married, living in a beautiful loft apartment, having a successful business with my partner to getting dumped, business dissolving & living in my parents basement. Overnight!)Way back then I was FIRMLY stuck on what was happening to me.The worst part was really the fact that I was telling myself I would never be happy again. I lost & game over.Looking back now, I can see how it was THAT particular story of mine that was the most painful and damaging.Feeling hopeless fed my depression and really made me feel like there wouldn't even be a point in TRYING to do anything great ever again.But I'm happy to say I was SO wrong about that!Back then I firmly FELT like I was in my forever place--even though it WASN'T.Bit by bit, I healed myself. I got stronger. I started listening to my soul desires and got busy with manifesting them all into reality.NOW I know that the lessons I learned back then have been my most valuable.They led me to TRUST myself and in the journey, even through fear, self-doubt and not always knowing WHERE I was going next.Without that moment, I'm sure I would NOT be here: with a book and business I'm so proud of, living out my dreams in Europe.So today I just want to REMIND you: there's more to your story only always.I know 2020 was tough for so many of us (Corona, BLM & more)And maybe you needed to read this today.So please know: you might not be able to see how it's all coming together right now.But trust that one day down the road, you'll look back and see:That THIS exact, with all the suffering and hardship WASN'T all in vain.It actually all came together to make me who I was ALWAYS meant to be.

Oh hey there friend! 💗There are lots of new f Oh hey there friend! 💗There are lots of new faces here & it's been a little while since I last introduced myself.So hello! My name is Jenn & I'm on a mission to connect you to your MAGIC.I teach you how to create the life you want by using your MIND.You might have heard that you can use the Law of Attraction to attract what you want through your emotional states.Which IS true.But most of us don't realize that our THOUGHTS create our emotional state.Repeated thoughts become beliefs.And those beliefs create our MINDSET.So when you have a low sense worthiness around ANYTHING you happen to want to manifest, you WILL see only lack and limitation.You WILL buy into the old programming that tells you you could never do/be/have that.You WILL secretly self-sabotage and get in the way of the very things you want so much.I used to feel lost and down on myself. And I used to HATE what my life was like.But something inside of me was pointing me in the direction of learning more about spirituality and personal development.The more I learned about manifestation + the brain, the moer the pieces began to click together.And the faster my life began to RAPIDLY change!(Check out my story on how I manifested my book deal for example.)I'm telling you this because I KNOW you can create so many of those dreams of yours, if you JUST learn how to get out of your own way.And that's what I'm on a mission to do, every single day.Want to work with me? You can get started with manifestation with my Manifestation Journaling Workshop.Or if you're ready to go deeper in a private setting, drop me a DM to learn more about my hypno-coaching program!AND PS - I'm also about to launch my Recode membership site (which I'm SOOO excited about). So stay tuned for that!But I'm SO DAMN EXCITED to have you here for this journey! And I thank you so much for being part of my little manifestation community. Now--let's TRANSFORM!
Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming? Getting on the manifestation train, who's coming?Emoji me below if you're part of Team Manifestation! 👇👇
What do YOU need to believe to create your next le What do YOU need to believe to create your next level-reality?Remember: your old beliefs created the life you're living now.But instead of getting upset about that, it's SO much more useful to think on where we want to go next.So what do YOU want to create?And what do YOU need to believe in order to get there?This is the CREATION part of being a Conscious Creator: meaning that YOU get to decide on what your life looks like. But you also have to do the work to CREATE it, starting from the inside out.So get excited about what YOU are going to start believing in next! &  happy weekend to you #teammanifestation !
