The difference between who you are and who you want to be - is what you do!

9 Dec

Take a little look over your shoulder

The closing of the year is a very special time. Too often we are focused on what is ahead, planning and visioning, at times feeling inadequate and wondering if we will reach our goals.

I prefer to reflect for a moment on the journey that was, a little look back over the shoulder to see the distance travelled. Acknowledging the good and appreciating the challenges overcome and lived through. The lessons, growth & celebrations. There may have been sadness and struggle, lived experience too. It all changes and shapes us.

Plans and actions

This time last year I was preparing to become a mother and eagerly anticipating the arrival of baby Daisy. Yet that journey began many years before. I made significant life choices to support where I find myself right now. To name a few, I stepped out of a busy management role in my work life to create more balance and space for the physical, emotional and mental changes that were to come. We changed home and I started to move into work that embraced my biggest passions and would offer flexibility and balance for our family in the years to come.

I spent more time focusing on my strength and wellness. I had recovered from a significant life-changing injury and having a child had the potential to compromise my physical wellbeing. I listened to the advice, made a decision and took steps to support my dreams and prioritise wellness.

Several years ago, I visioned my journey. At this time of year many people stop to vision board, to support their inner dreams and desires with visuals to stimulate energy focus and intention. I love this! Yet that vision board is very much about focusing your belief, believing that you will live the experiences you desire and most importantly directing your thought, energy and actions towards where you want to travel.

The magic is in the doing with the believing.

What is it that you want to create in your life? Vision it and believe it ….. then ask yourself what decisions, choices, actions do I need to take to make it a reality?

Are you really ready?

Are you committed to making these decisions? Sometimes we feel that we don’t have options and this isn’t necessarily true. Often we feel some decisions and choices are possible and comfortable and the other decisions and choices are too big. It’s the ones that push us out of our comfort zone that bring the biggest growth. There is nothing wrong with starting to take action in the comfort zone at first though. It is better to take steps towards your vision than to sit idle and wait.

Don’t get me wrong I believe that magical things happen, yet I also know from experience that it happens much faster when we are directing our energy and efforts in the direction we wish to fly.

I’ve been doing my own inner work over the past 10 years, peeling away the limiting beliefs, stories that hold us back and stepping into my power. Right now, the world as we know it has already started to significantly shift and I know many of you feel it deeply. Not only is our Earth transforming and preparing for a regeneration physically and energetically but the structures that have kept us caged in and institutions that have held power for too long are beginning to experience a real shake-up or shakedown. Our world is preparing for a renovation, a remodel- which is much needed and better than a knockdown rebuild (if that is even possible).

What am I getting at here?

To get to the point I’m asking you to seriously consider what life your soul came here to live.

Are you on track? Are you listening to that intuitive inner voice that attempts to guide you in the right direction or are you shutting it off? I did that back in 2011 and eventually, I was pushed, thrown and dragged onto my path. I wish I’d listened sooner.

Take some time at the natural close of a yearly cycle to look back at all you have created and lived with and through. If you are left underwhelmed or feeling stuck, now is the time to consider your dreams, reflect deeply and ask yourself -

‘Where do I want my energy to be taking me'?’

‘What changes can I make to steer this ship?”

‘What actions and steps can I take to put energy behind the sails of this dream?’

Then get doing it… one step at a time ….but take that one step

This pivotal time of change, transformation and increasing vibration is the right energetic climate to get on your true path. This is a time for creative thinkers, dreamers, innovators, change leaders and heart centred light workers.
