When someone asks you what you want do you have a ready answer, or does your mind go blank? Do you feel a bit of anxiety inside when out of all the options in the universe you have to narrow down exactly what you want? Do you worry that you’ll end up with ‘buyer’s remorse’ and regret the purchase so much that you prefer not to buy anything?
Knowing what we want is so key to a happy life, it seems strange that for so many of us we are out of touch with what that is. We allow ourselves to drift through life being buffeted by the desires of others. It takes guts to really admit to our hearts desires. We feel we might be judged for it, we worry we might lose friends if our desires change us too much. It can feel easier to drift along without expressing our wants, than actively face up and get them.
At this time of year it is too easy to focus our wants onto physical gifts. (Bath salts anyone?) But when I really think about it, the things I really, truly want don’t come gift-wrapped. I want more space in my life, a bigger sense of adventure and a lot more fun and laughter. I don’t have to wait for Santa to deliver those things. I can get started on them right away. To that end, I’ve stopped reading the comments sections newspapers because I realised that it was really making me miserable to see people arguing and scoring cheap points. I’ve instantly created some space and freedom in my life just by working out that’s what I wanted. Having made the decision I feel lighter already.
So take a moment right now and ask yourself – what it is you really want out of life in the next three months. Keep it a short time frame to really focus your intention, and not put it too much in the realm of ’someday’. What would make you really happy? What is the secret desire that you don’t even admit to yourself? Maybe you want more love, more excitement, more confidence, more growth. Then ask yourself, ‘What can I do today to get more of this in my life?’. Take a baby-step every single day towards what you really want and you’ll be surprised how quickly it can manifest.
If you feel really blocked then a Soul Realignment reading or a coaching session with me can help put you in touch with your hearts desire and give you practical ways to manifest what you really want into your life.
