Transform Your Life by Rewriting Your Past
Change can feel scary or even impossible at times. Yet, deep inside, we all imagine different ways our lives could be better. Maybe you see yourself calmer, happier, or living your dreams. Did you know your imagination is more powerful than you think?
When you imagine a different version of yourself, you’re actually tuning into another possibility. Think of imagination like tuning into your favorite radio station. Your mind chooses the frequency, and your reality adjusts to the sound you select. Your imagined self isn’t just a dream—it’s another version of you, alive and waiting to be embraced.
Imagine right now a different version of yourself—someone you truly want to become. What would this version of you have experienced yesterday or last year? Imagine vividly, as if these experiences are real memories. When you do this, you’re changing your past. This might sound strange, but changing your past can actually transform your present effortlessly.
Think about something amazing you’d love to happen in your future—perhaps living peacefully, having a fulfilling relationship, or feeling completely confident. Now, place this amazing experience in your past. Imagine that this incredible thing has already happened five years ago. Feel it deeply, as real as any other memory you’ve lived. Believe it or not, this creates powerful changes within you.
You might wonder, “How can changing my past change my life now?” It’s simple. Our past memories shape how we see ourselves today. If you create a new past filled with positive experiences, your self-image shifts. Suddenly, you find yourself naturally confident, joyful, and at peace. No more battling old negative memories. You’re already living as your new self.
Let’s practice together. Close your eyes and imagine the best version of yourself. Picture exactly what you did yesterday. Who did you meet? How did you feel? Imagine it vividly and joyfully. Now picture a year ago—what wonderful things did you experience? Allow these images and feelings to become very clear and real.
Doing this regularly is like giving yourself permission to become your best self now. You don’t need years of struggle or self-doubt. Changing your past frees you from feeling unworthy or stuck. It lets you embrace who you truly want to become immediately.
Here’s an important secret: your imagined experiences are just as real as your old memories. Science even supports that our brains can’t always tell the difference clearly between imagined events and real ones. Your imagined past can heal your emotions, boost your confidence, and encourage you to live your best life now.
Next time you’re feeling stressed or doubtful, pause and rewrite your past. Insert a beautiful memory of your best self already experiencing what you desire. Feel that this is your real history. Notice how your mood, self-confidence, and outlook immediately shift for the better.
Remember, every time someone asks about your history, you can playfully ask, “Which one?” Your life, your past, and your experiences are all flexible. Allow yourself the freedom to imagine and experience life exactly as you dream it.
Change doesn’t have to be a struggle. By rewriting your past, you’re effortlessly stepping into a brighter, happier, and more fulfilling present.

Deeper with Bentinho – Your Desired Image: How to Redefine Yourself Through Imagination
Have you ever wanted to change something about yourself? Maybe you have a vision of being a bit different, more in line with your deepest aspirations. Bentinho shares an insightful approach to this. He suggests that we all have an image or a vision of what we want to be, even if it’s just a slight improvement.
This vision might be very spiritual, like achieving a state of peaceful mind, or more material, like having a certain lifestyle. But regardless of its nature, it’s something you’re moving towards. Even if you think changing is not important, that thought itself is a change, a vision.
Now, let’s do something interesting. Forget your current history for a moment. What if you had a different past? What did this desired version of you do yesterday? A year ago? This exercise isn’t just about daydreaming. It’s about tuning into a different frequency, a parallel version of yourself. Your imagination is like a radio, tuning into various versions of your reality.
Knowing this, you can start to reimagine your past. What if the things you want in the future were already experiences in your past? This process of ‘fake it till you make it’ can be powerful. By changing your past in your mind, you start to change your present effortlessly. You don’t have to fight against a history of doubts or feel like a hypocrite because this new version of you has already lived those experiences.
This practice isn’t about denying reality, but about expanding it. It’s about accessing a different aspect of your existence that’s just as real as your current one. When you start remembering your desired experiences as if they’ve already happened, you’ll find a shift in your current awareness. This shift brings peace, trust, confidence, and a deeper connection with yourself.
Try this in your daily life. Whenever you’re stressed or doubting your worth, just imagine a different past. It might feel strange at first, but with time, you’ll start to feel its reality. And when someone asks about your history, you might just smile and say, “Which one?”
