All I can say is Wow.
I am stunned and completely moved by your amazing responses to my
last post. Your emails, facebook messages and comments have uplifted my spirit and given me so much hope. I feel so supported and understood and from the bottom of my heart I thank you for reaching out to me. You are truly an amazing person.
With any journey, there needs to be some sort of a roadmap (even if incredibly vague). Deep down, most of us know how we want to
feel in our dream life and so I'm using that as my baseline for mapping my own journey! (
If you're not sure of how you want to feel, I highly recommend you get The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte).
I have three core soul-goals I really want to achieve. They're biggies, but I know they will make a huge difference to my life if I just start heading in the direction of them. I know it's not about
'being' anything or
'getting' anywhere nor is it in any way about
'perfection'. These are the goals and achievements my soul craves.
Soul-Goal #1: Make My Wellness a Priority
Self Care: I have neglected myself for far too long. I 100% believe in self love and self care and even know the true benefits of what
'taking care of yourself' does to your life, yet I still let it go by the way side. I know all of these things make me feel good, I just keep avoiding them. I don't know if it's out of fear or laziness but you can bet your ass I am going to make a conscious effort to change this.
Daily Meditation: I recently had an Angel Card reading done through a friend and one of the cards that popped up was Meditation. The only thing was that it was upside down which meant I'm blocking this. I know for a fact that whenever I meditate, my days feel more grounded and I'm more clear-headed. I want to bring back this time of calamity, even if my ego is screaming
'Noooooo'.
Connect With My Body: Call it exercise, fitness or working out, I personally want to move away from those definitions because I associate negatively to them. For me it's about re-connecting with my body, I've had terrible body and weight issues, I've shunned, b*tched and picked on her for so long & it hasn't done my well-being any favors. I am going to heal my relationship with my body not to try lose weight or anything grandiose like that, but to keep my spiritual and emotional health strong and vibrant.
Create a Spiritual Relationship With Food: Another area I am adamant on healing is my relationship with food. I've recently come to discover I am an emotional eater. The days leading up to
my meltdown I was shoving chocolate down like it wasn't going to be produced anymore. I had no idea why but after I let it all out, my eating patterns returned to normal. I don't believe in deprivation or dieting, I'm excited about trying on the new 80/20 lifestyle for size. I think it's a winner.
Make My Home A Beautiful Love Nest: Gotta say, never in a million years thought I'd ever wanna make a love nest. But as I've gotten older I realize just how important your living environment is so I'm going to discover my personal style and figure out my taste in decor. I will bring more of the colours that make me feel alive as well as finally create my dream wardrobe. No more cheap clothes that will do for now. I'm going to create the most fun, beautiful and romantic way of living.
Dedicate Time Each Day For Play: Play is so important for my soul, and yet I keep putting that as the last thing to do on my list which of course never gets done! Play is for our creative mind & just like children we need that everyday. So I'm going to make the next 6 months the most playful time of my life. More photography, more acting, more singing, more dancing, more sewing, more crafting and above all things more soulful friendships.
Soul-Goal #2: Create even more of an EPIC Love Story
Sexy Dates: One of my favourite things to do with my man is our date nights. It could be dinner and a movie, glow in the dark mini-golf or a night at a boutique hotel. I really want to focus more on this and create even more beautiful, meaningful and sexy dates.
Heartfelt Surprises: Nothing delights me more than surprising my man with a fun gift or a beautiful dinner so I want to make a conscious effort to do it more often. Especially for small celebrations that we tend to shrug off. We're both working toward things were so deeply passionate about, so when either of us make a little progress - it's going to be made into a party!
Romantic Adventures: Due to finances we haven't been able to get away as much as previous years. It can sometimes really take a toll on the romance in a relationship but that's why I'm going to spend these next 6 months cultivating new and romantic ways we can go on adventures, even if it's in our own backyard!
More Heat in the Bedroom: Need I say more? ;)
Soul-Goal #3: Build a Soul-Centered 6 Figure Lifestyle Biz
Heart-Centered Blogging: I'm going to write more posts from my heart than anything. I want to be as real and authentic as I can possibly be.
A Place for Women to Heal Themselves: I aim to make this journey a place of community for women. This is a universal pain we're all going through and I want to make my blog the place where they can get their source of feel-goodness. I just need to find a nickname for us that reflects our journey, any ideas?
Meaningful Coaching: I already feel so honored to have
coached so many incredible women. I can't wait to go deeper and help others completely transform their relationships into something spectacular. Having gone through the painful journey of repeating self-sabotaging patterns of insecurity, jealousy and neglect and completely overcoming it in 3 weeks I am so pumped to help women do exactly the same.
Wild Creativity: I'm going to let my creativity run wild both on the blog and in my own creative lair. This is an outlet that I need in order to continue being authentic. I want to experiment with myself and my desires to see what I find. If I find it powerful and profound, you can trust that I'll write about it.
Abundance: As with any business comes abundance and money. In the next 6 months I want to not only transform my life but my business as well. I want to create an incredible lifestyle business that is soulful, deep and the best remedy for inertia and through that create 6 figures. Bring it.
If you have the courage, I would really (
really) be honored if you shared some of your soul-goals with me in the comments below. This is your first step in showing up for yourself, declaring what you want (and don't want) even if you're not 100% sure of it. Let's celebrate this first step by standing up for ourselves. I know you can do it hun!
