Manifesting your goals and what you want to happen in your life may seem difficult.  Sometimes you become too attached to the outcome of what you want to happen.  You stress, have anxiety, fall into the fear, worry, and doubt that it’s not going to happen for you.  Manifesting your goals is at the intersection of your head and heart believing that what you want will come to fruition.

Head

Your head gets swept up into all the fears, worries, and doubts.  It constantly thinks about what could possibly go wrong and all the worst case scenarios.  You start to spiral down this negative path pushing you further and further away from believing in your dreams.  Your head just wants to keep you safe and protect you from being let down if you don’t manifest your goals.  But, when you have big goals and dreams on your heart, you need every belief possible to help you manifest it.

Heart

Your heart is what’s guiding you to set...

Sometimes you get swept up in negative emotions that send you into a spiral of even more negative thoughts.  This negative thought pattern starts to consume you.  You constantly play out all the worst case scenarios in your head and you talk it out how you would respond to each one of them.  But, living in this negativity is not helping you.  It’s only building up your anxiety, stress, and negativity that’s creating a dark aura around you.  You cannot create anything good from negative energy.  Rather, you need to shift yourself into a more positive headspace.  That all starts by being of aware of where you’re placing your attention and energy.

Positivity

When you operate from a place of positivity your mood changes.  You feel a sense of relief.  Your shoulders go up and down with a big sigh.  It’s like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.  From this place of positivity, you can see...

You have hopes, goals, and dreams for the future.  But, something holds you back from going after them.  It could be fear, worry, or doubt.  It’s so much easier to stay in your current comfort zone of what you know to be safe.  However, that’s not how big goals are achieved.  You must learn to allow yourself to take a chance and bravely step into the unknown.  Otherwise, you’ll never know what you could have accomplished in your life.

Limiting Beliefs

There are many goals that have been put on your heart for a reason.  But, you’re still holding yourself back from achieving them.  Maybe it’s not the right time, you need more experience, you fear failure or judgement, and perhaps you doubt yourself by thinking who are you to dream up something so audacious, etc.  There are many limiting beliefs that stop you right in your tracks from going after your goals and dreams in life.  Ultimately, these...

At the start of the new year, you get to choose what’s in and what’s out.  You get to choose what you subscribe to and unsubscribe from.  These are the things that are going to help you create massive gains in your life verses the things that are draining your energy and keeping you from achieving your goals.  Let’s get clear on what you want and don’t want in your life this year.

What’s In

Start by making a list of the things that make you feel good and rejuvenated.  These are the things that make you happy and boost your energy.  Think about the things that make you smile and light you up.  Maybe that’s surrounding yourself with the right people by setting aside time to spend with supportive friends and family.  Perhaps it’s prioritizing time to consistently work on your goals.  You might want to follow inspirational people or subscribe to motivational content that empowers you to go after...

As you begin this year, it’s important to take note of where you currently are.  Assess where you’re at with your goals.  Perhaps you want to achieve something really big this year.  In order to do so, you’re going to need these three keys to a successful year.

What’s Working

First, begin by thinking about what you’re going to keep doing that’s working for you right now.  Maybe this is using your planner to schedule important tasks, limiting your social media consumption, prioritizing non-negotiable time to work on your goals, etc.  Think about the things you have prioritized doing that have made the biggest difference in making progress towards your goals.  These are the things you want to stay focused on continuing to do because these are the needle moving tasks that are going to help you achieve your goals this year.  Make a list of the things you need to keep doing in order to continue making progress...

As this year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to reflect on where you are.  Maybe you’re proud of the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve made this year.  Or, perhaps you’re not quite where you’d like to be and the new year gives you hope that there’s something better on its way to you.  As this year comes to a close, look to the new year with hope that there is still time to make changes.  You do not have to continue doing what you’ve always done and settling for less.  You can choose something new and different for your life.  You get to make the deciding factor to continue living life as is or choose a new direction.  A new year can be a fresh start and whole new beginning for you.

Goal Setting

A new year can bring a sense excitement, hope, light, love, and optimism for what’s to come.  There is plenty more in store for you and your life.  Sometimes you just have...

Going into the new year, you have hopes, goals, and dreams for yourself.  Keeping those goals at the forefront of you mind is important so that you continue to take action towards what you want to make happen in the new year.  One way to keep your goals on your mind is to have a daily reminder.  Many choose a word of the year as guidance towards what you want to achieve.  This year, I’m going to encourage you to dig a bit deeper and come up with a guiding question.

Guiding Question

A guiding question is meant to make you pause and think.  It helps you become present to the current moment so that you think things through before acting.  It’s meant to help guide you in the right direction instead of going down the wrong path.  Choosing a guiding question will keep your attention on what you want to create and make happen in the new year.

Your Goal

Start by assessing where you currently are.  Complete an inventory...

It’s a perfect time for reflection as this year comes to an end.  Reflect over what you’ve gone through, who you’ve become, and what you’ve had to do.  More importantly, you can reflect over just how much you’ve grown.  This is a time to celebrate your success, lessons learned, and your growth this year.

Growth Areas

You’ve lived through a whole entire year through all the ups and downs.  Since the start of the year, you’ve learned and grown a lot.  Take inventory of the areas you’ve grown in. One particular area of your life may have been a huge focal point this year.  But, usually you’ve grown in more areas than one.  These are the areas that challenged you, forced you to think, be creative, stay strong, and level up.  This has helped you become who you are now, which is smarter, wiser, and ready for the next challenge.  Growth can be hard to measure but it’s through...

What you think and believe about success will become your reality.  Therefore, if you want massive abundance in your life, you must first look at what you think and believe about your ability to achieve success.  Choose to start believing in yourself, your goals, dreams, and unlimited potential.  Let go of the limiting mindset that’s holding you back.  When you do, amazing things will happen.  You’ll open yourself up to receiving so much success, abundance, and happiness in life.  You have unlimited potential if you were to just believe.

Defying Gravity

One of the most powerful songs in the Broadway musical Wicked is Defying Gravity.  This song is about letting go of the limits that are holding you back and being able to truly step into your own personal power where no one can stop you.  It’s helping you to believe in yourself and that anything is possible for your life.  It’s changing your thoughts and...

Your thoughts are one of the most powerful things that will either help or hinder you from achieving your goals in life.  It’s what you believe is possible for your life.  As Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.  What you think and believe to be true is how you will base your decisions.  It will also determine how you respond to certain life events.  If you want to open yourself up to unlimited future possibilities in your life then you’re going to have to be cognizant of what you think and believe.

Your Thoughts

Your thoughts and beliefs dictate what actions you take.  If you believe you’re capable of success then you’ll bravely take action.  If you believe you’re incapable and act from a place of fear, then you hold yourself back from taking action towards your goals and life’s biggest dreams.  You’ll quickly cast away any unlimited...
