It's almost that time of year again. The "New Year, New You" crap ...
BAH HUMBUG I say!
NOW is the perfect time, not next week or next year. Right now ... right?!
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, and you should, is to utilize the upcoming Christmas Holiday to make your dreams (aka: resolutions) a reality! Do you remember when you were a kid? Excited for Christmas, excited for Santa to bring you everything you ever wanted?! Seeing all the things you asked for packaged in pretty paper, tied up with bows under a big, bright Christmas tree adorned with all kinds of sparkly lights and ornaments! The smell of hot chocolate and fresh cookies in the air, your most comfortable pj's and slippers keeping you warm and the sounds of family chattering and laughing as wrapping paper was ripped to shreds! AH the anticipation! The excitement! The pure JOY!
Now, think for a moment. What changed? What changed?! Why is it different now? "Oh, I grew up", "Santa's not real", "Our family doesn't get together anymore", "It's a Hallmark Holiday", "Christmas is too expensive", yadda yadda yadda. Regardless of the REASON behind it, I'm betting that what actually changed was you stopped asking for what you want. Right? Especially if you are a mom. Your focus changed from you to the kids and making the perfect experience for them. But what about you? Why not you?
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create your super preferred life. Pursue your wants, capture your desires. Resist settling (it kills your dreams). Your precious energy and magnetic thoughts will magically construct and deliver. Good luck. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
Ok so it's not actually going to self-destruct, but you get the point.
Now is the right time to begin:
Step 1: Give yourself permission to take the next 5 minutes and play. Have fun with this! Yes, it's a visualization exercise and, if you are anything like me, you have a very hard time "visualizing" which means this exercise is exactly what you need because it is so much more than just visualization! It's feeling!
Step 2: Find a quiet place where you can allow your thoughts to move around freely and uninterrupted. Let them dance, explore, play and be child-like!
Step 3: Using each one of your senses, describe how you want your super preferred life to feel, how you want it to look, to taste, to smell, to be.
I'll give you an example of a small sliver of my super preferred life. It feels like waking up each morning with abundant energy that courses through my body; starting from my heart and racing over every inch of my body, preparing me to take on another day with excitement and wonder. It's a warm summer morning on my back porch with a mocha latte in my hand; the rich aroma waking me up and each chocolatey sip warming my heart while painting a smile on my face. It's playfully playing with my children; our bare feet feeling each soft blade of grass as we explore the back yard to see what cool creatures and treasures we can find and pick up along the way. It's taking vacations where I can feel the sun-kissed sandy beach under my toes as I walk and bask in the beautiful sights of palm trees, breathing in the captivating smell of my tropical coconut suntan lotion, hearing the faint sound of island music while a light breeze tries to tangle my hair as I enjoy the crisp taste of a mojito with fresh mint.
So much better than "I'd like to wake up with energy, enjoy a cup of coffee before stating the day so I can play with my kids and eventually take a vacation", right?! Put yourself INTO your dreams. Describe them IN DETAIL, highlighting every aspect of what you WANT. And if all you can think of is what you don't want, pause, and reframe it to its opposite. Turn it around so you are focusing on what you want to bring to life. Do not manifest what you want to avoid. Always focus on what you want, manifest that. Make sense?
Step 4: ASK FOR IT! Claim it! Why do you think children so frequently get what they want? Because they are not afraid to ask for it! They make it known what their heart desires! They may ask mom and dad, or grandma, write a letter to Santa, or wish on a star. They put it out there and, guess what!? Most times they get it. So what are you waiting for?! Put it out into the universe, ask God, write your own letter to Santa! Or send me an email and share it with me. Just put it out there! Have the courage to ask.
I'm excited for you! I'm routing for you! What does your Super Preferred Life feel like?
In the spirit of the holidays, here are "a few of my favorite things".
Essential Oils and Emotions: BRAVE
What will it take for me to act on my own behalf? Who or what life experience has taught me that I must wait for someone else to lead? I am now ready to act on what I know is right and true for me.
I am ready to shed fear, self-comparison, oppression, the need to hide and be hesitant and embrace my courage!
What I like to refer to as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D3 promotes the actions of serotonin, dopamine, and other key brain neurotransmitters. It also is involved in the healthy regulation of thousands of human genes. And it’s crucial for immunity.
It's easier to be brave with a little sunshine right?!
