Are you ready to achieve BIG and GREAT things for your life in 2010?
Do you have a PLAN and VISION to achieve your greatness for the New Year?
I’m talking about truly manifesting all that you desire for yourself, so that you can live your true path and live your life to the fullest!
I have been helping my clients as well as myself to do this for many years and there is no time like NOW for you to really be able to direct your life in a way that cements your true desires.
I would like to help you do that today. The start of a new year is the perfect time for you to outline a plan for your life and really look at the path that you need to take to achieve that. I am going to outline some of the steps that you can take to do this.
1. Write out your goals and dreams and make sure they are Specific (how much money, etc would you like to earn), Measurable (how will I know that I’ve achieved my goal), Appropriate (Is this your goal and not someone else’s, also it does not do harm to anyone or anything else), Realistic, even if it’s only 50% believable for you right now (you might not be able to be an Olympic athlete in your 70’s, but you can be athletic), and Timely (so that you have a concrete timeline and plan to work with). Create daily goals for yourself so that your subconscious recognizes that you are able to follow through with your goals and be true to yourself.
2. Still your mind from all the chatter and useless rhetoric that floats around in your mind that block you from focusing with intention on what you would truly like to bring into your life. MEDITATION is the best way to tap into your inner Source and look at what you need to live your life to its fullest. Take time to still your mind each and every day even for 10-20 minutes a day. This will allow you to set up the mind space you need to visualize and manifest your true path.
3. Now that you are able to still your mind to some degree, I would like you to VISUALIZE what you see for yourself. Your visualization should be Specific and engage all of your senses. Visualization is easy in that we already think in pictures so it’s about giving yourself permission to daydream and use your imagination again, like you did as a child. This will spark imagination and allow your subconscious mind to relate to the visualization as reality. Actually go out and be part of your visualization whenever possible. So that if you would like a new car, go out and test drive it.
4. Don’t limit yourself in your ability to create for yourself, so watch your SELF TALK. If you find yourself visualizing great things and then your inner voice says, “Are you crazy, you can’t achieve that”, or “It’s not possible for you to make that kind of money, or have that”. Let go of the negative self talk and understand that you can achieve that which you desire.
5. Be very careful to limit the amount of NEGATIVITY you have around you, in terms of people, outside messages and mind viruses that you allow into your mind. If you let others know of your dreams you are bound to get negative feedback from some of them. This negative feedback will fuel the fire of your negative self talk and cause you to give up on your greatness. You can end up staying in a lack mindset and believing that you must settle for mediocrity and ‘going with the flow’. If you do tell others of your goals, be prepared for some negative feedback and be ready to dismiss it from your mind. Focus on the positive. Your goal should not be ‘if I can achieve my goals’, but rather ‘how can I achieve my goal’? You may not have the answers right away and that’s okay, the more you still your mind and focus on your goals, the answers will come to you. Remain detached from the outcome of when the answers will come, and in what way they will come to you, outside of those two things, be very specific with your intentions.
Use these strategies because they are the keys to expanding your consciousness and manifesting your dreams. This is the start of doing things differently because that’s what you need to do to gain different results from what you are experiencing now.
Live your path and go BIG with your life, you only have one life to live right now, so what are you waiting for?
