Hello Lovely Transformational Tribe!
Do you feel stuck, like you are working hard to improve a situation or way of BEING in your life and yet you don’t seem to be getting anywhere? You may be trying to start from the wrong place.
I regularly have grand visions. As lovely as this is, I have been falling into the trap of trying to immediately be in the same place now as what I see as possible for the future. This is an error because the only way to get where you want to go is to start from where you are. There is no other place to start.
Trying to be somewhere other than where you are with your emotional state, your finances, your relationship, or habits of mind will only have you spinning in circles.
Take a few minutes right now to find your starting point.
- Think of a situation or pattern you want to change.
- First, drop all judgment. We cannot see clearly when we are judging.
- Next, get clear on your goal. Where do you want to be? Be specific. If it is a financial goal, name the amount you want to reach. If it is a matter of not liking the way you are FEELING, how DO you want to feel? How much of the time do you want to feel this way?
- Now, ask yourself, where am I right now in relation to my goal. How much money do I actually have? How much debt? What do I need?
- How much time am I feeling upset every day? How long has this been going on? On a scale of 1 to 10, where would I rank my emotional health?
Seeing a positive future and choosing to feel abundant, happy, and peaceful NOW is different than being in denial. To get where you want to go, you must know your starting point. Once you know where you are starting and where you want to go, the path to get there becomes easy to find.
