My intention for taking the LifeVision workshop is to get crystal clear on my life's purpose. So far we have talked about what it is that we want spiritually and in relationships. I know for me these two areas of my life are very important to me and I plan on spending a lot more time really going deep with what it is I want in both of those areas. It's interesting when I ask people what they want out of life or in a relationship they often can tell me what they don't want but it's much more difficult for them to tell me what they DO want. Why is that? My guess is that we know the pain that comes from what we don't want but what you may not know is that whatever it is that you choose to focus on expands and if you focus on what you don't want you end up with more of what you don't want. I would venture to say also is we haven't given ourselves the permission to dig deep to figure out what it is that we want. Most people have no idea how to tap into that. Well.. good news me and other's are out here to help. I am seeing more and more people dedicating their lives and their professions to this very thing. When we are doing what we are passionate about my father always told me it won't feel like work. It's true.
ACT NOW: Start by making a list in your journal or a piece of paper with 5 areas of your life.. which are:
Physical
Emotional
Mental
Relationships
Spiritual
In each category list the things you DO want. Don't use any negatives in your language. Kevin Hall who is the word nerd would tell you there is a power in words and you NEVER want to have negative words in a place where you are trying to manifest. We want to keep everything in the positive. Just check yourself. Get as deep as you can. Keep writing until you can't write any longer. The other thing we talked about today is think BIG. This isn't a time for you to play it small. For me I NEVER in a million years thought I would be at my goal weight of 138 lbs but I am. If weight is one of your goals, be specific as to how much weight and put a "BY WHEN" on it. Get detailed because it matters... just be careful what you ask for!!
All such great advice. And you are absolutely correct about focusing on what you DO want. We can become aware of what we don't want as a way of clarifying what we do want, and then as soon as we are clear, leave what we don't want behind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all that you do!
Becky, one thing I found important to my language of being clear is to eliminate the opportunity to sabotage myself. The word...but... had to go. For example "I'd love to help you, but..." The word always allows for me to betray myself and create a justification for not allowing my self to be real. I still catch myself trying to use the word, and gives me opportunity to work my program and to be accountable.
