Figure out what you really want.

In my blog post “the trick to creating the life you want” I talked a lot about how willpower is directly linked to what you believe you deserve and how much you respect yourself. I told you how the more you truly believe you deserve great things the more you will have those great things coming your way. I suggested you start a gratitude list, that each day you write a list of 3 things you are grateful for, things that you have achieved, or things you are proud of yourself for. If you haven’t yet read the trick to creating the life you want, then I highly recommend you take 5 minutes to do so. The main message I want you to get from my previous post is that if you want to achieve your goals in life you need to believe you deserve them, you need to love, respect and honour yourself and send positive vibes into the universe. Let the world know that you are going to make your dreams come true.

Once you have reached a place where you feel ready to make changes in your life, it is time to really think about what changes, or goals are most important to you! 

It is easy to think of a million things you want, a great job, a new lover, a bigger house, a healthier life, a wedding ring, a holiday, a baby, but when you really dig deep, when you allow you mind and body to be silent and listen to your inner voice, you will truly hear what it is that you want. There is one thing above all else that you crave.

Stop.

Be still.

Allow yourself to just breathe.

Don’t rush it. Most likely it is something that has been building up inside you most of your life, but maybe you haven’t listened. Take the time now to listen. Listen to yourself.

Find a quiet space. If you can I suggest you go for a walk somewhere peaceful, or find a quiet space somewhere at home when no one is home to disturb you. Turn off your phone, maybe light some candles or take a bath. Just relax with your thoughts. If it doesn’t come to you straight away you may just not be ready to hear it. That’s OK, there is no rush. I find imagery helps me, if I can’t go somewhere beautiful, I can imagine I am somewhere peaceful.

Find time each day to just breathe. It may be whilst you ride the train to work, maybe it is during your shower, or whilst you lie quietly in your bed at night. Don’t try and force it to come to you, just open your mind to it.

If it still isn’t coming to you, go back to my post on “the trick to creating the life you want“, you may need to work on believing you deserve it before you can open yourself up to change.

Sometimes what we thought we wanted was not what we end up wanting. Don’t hang on to a dream that you no longer need, don’t waste energies on the things that don’t fulfil you. Sometimes we make it far more complicated than it needs to be.

Ask yourself what is most important to you. And focus on all areas of your life, don’t be bogged down with thinking it needs to be a huge goal. We often think we have to jump in and make big changes all at once, we don’t. Just ease yourself into change.

Think about what makes your heart happy, think about what makes you feel like smiling. Think about your soul and ask yourself what fills it will joy? What do you want emotionally? What do you want spiritually? What makes your heart sing?

You deserve happiness, you deserve fulfilment. Believe in your dreams and believe you can turn them into your reality. Go ahead and catch your dream!
