Let me take a guess on what your typical day looks like.
You wake up. Already, you feel behind the 8-ball. There's so much to do! Certainly there are some cool things to look forward to in your day but you can barely even think or focus on them with any sense of excitement or expectancy; so jam packed is your mind with all the tasks that Must. Be. Done. Today. You wash, dress, eat, pack, leave, run back in for that thing you forgot or to check to make sure the hair straightener is off, and then you're out the door properly.
What happens for you in between now and bed-time I have no idea, but here is what I do know for sure -
When your head finally hits the pillow, or perhaps it's a little bit earlier on as you sit back and try to unwind a little; the thought runs through your mind -
"I can't keep going like this"
It might be the amount of time you're spending doing stuff that feels like nothing more than another task on a never-ending list, it could be the physical energy you're having to expend just to keep up with yourself, or perhaps it's simply this:
In the midst of rushing around and getting things done there is barely one little moment that's just about you and what you really want for your life.
And the truth is that if I were to ask you right now what you DO really want?
You don't even know if you could answer me!
Oh sure, you want more time, more flexibility, more freedom, more choice, more time to just chill and I guess you'd like to lose a couple of kg and have more money in the bank while you're at it. Throw in a better relationship, better sex, and a job that didn't in some way make your heart sink and basically what we're saying here is that you want what everyone else wants.
A better life in the most bland and banal of ways.
But tell me -
Where is the YOU in all of that?
Which part is about your deepest and most hidden dreams and desires?
Which is the part that if you were to achieve it would be so freaking good you wouldn't even believe it if it were right there happening all around you and which is the part that you want so badly you're scared to tell anyone and perhaps even yourself?
Can you see how if you don't even really know what YOU want and you can't articulate it in glorious detail you have a snowflake's chance in hell of actually achieving it?
Can't dream it = won't achieve it.
Of course the great news here is that you can dream it! Of course you can. You're just not. And not because you're not capable, not because you don't truly know deep within you what you DO want, but simply because you haven't been allowing yourself time to let it out. You've been so busy listening in to your 'busy mind' and to everyone else's expectations and needs that you've been ignoring that still, small voice of truth.
In How to Journal and Make Sh*t Happen (the book every woman craving an exceptional life MUST own!) I'll show you exactly how you can use journaling as a tool to get clear on what you most desire from life, and how to finally make it happen.
We'll work together to get to the very heart of who you really are. Who you long to be. And how you can clear your blocks and self-sabotages to finally and TRULY spread your wings and fly.
The truth is that you were born to live an extraordinary life. And you can make it happen! But you need to stop rushing. You need to stop second-guessing. You need to journal!
