7 Ways To Say Yes To Your Dream

How often have we lost our focus, allowed others and circumstances to erode our confidence, lost our authentic voice in the midst of pleasing others, delayed pursuing our passion, and feel stuck in less that joyful lives? As women, we tend to push our dreams aside risking frustration, anger and discontent to support others and their dreams while ours lie idle.

How would you like to attract more energy, joyfulness and resources in your life to pursue your unique gifts and talents?

Use the following steps as a springboard to discovering your true passion and living the life of your dreams.

• Hidden Passion: Think about what has brought you joy in the past. Do you have a hobby that you thought was “just a hobby” and would not make a viable vocation for you? How can you do more with your hobby? What would you do in life, if money were not a consideration? What can you think of now that will put a smile on your face? If you find something you enjoy – go for it and the money will come.

• “Negative Nellie”: Don’t allow negativity to drain your positive energy. Surround yourself with supportive and encouraging people. Banish negative thoughts and focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want. We attract more of that which we focus our energies on. Share your dream with a trusted friend. When we keep our dreams secret, we don’t leave space to be held accountable and it becomes easier to push our dreams aside.

• Get to know yourself more each day so that your thoughts are aligned with your actions. Make sure you know definitively what you want so that you are not living your life based on someone else’s expectations for you. When your energy is focused on what you don’t want, you have very little energy left to focus on what you do want. For example, if you’re focusing on getting out of debt, then your focus is on debt and lack. But, on the other hand, if you are focusing on abundance, you will attract more abundance.

• It’s your dream! No one else can manifest your dream but you. Your dream is what YOU envision and believe is possible for your life. Focus on the possibilities.

• Be committed. Don’t be “wishy washy” about your dream. If you aren’t committed to your dream, others won’t be either. It’s amazing how opportunities and resources will show up when you are unswerving in your belief in yourself and your gifts.

• Are you driving or being driven? Are you in control of your dreams or are you letting someone or something lead you? Do you positively know where you are headed? Take a close look at the direction in which you are going. Make sure you are doing the driving and not being driven by exte
al forces.

• If you are unsure what your dream is, take some time to gain clarity. Talk often to trusted, supportive people about your dream. This makes way for accountability and support. Collect colors, quotes, pictures that inspire you. Focusing on the things that inspire you will provide clarity and attract more of inspiration in your life.

You CAN pursue your dreams, unmask obstacles, and reconnect with your unique identity and soul purpose as you take the journey to self-discovery and empowerment. nn
