Figuring out what you REALLY want!

The Law of Attraction states that what we focus on, think about, and give our attention to, we attract into our lives. Unfortunately the things that tend to dominate our thoughts are the negative aspects of our lives – bills, work, stress, the things we don’t want. The key to using the Law of Attraction successfully is to focus on the things we do want! That might sound simple in theory but the truth is for many people figuring out what they really want in life can be a challenge. Years of being told what we can and can not do, societies expectations, commitments, responsibilities, and many other factors have affected our ability to dream without limits and visualize what it is we truly want! For this week’s challenge we are going to back to the time in our lives before the box that we live in started to take form and constrain us.

Visualization exercises - tapping into your unlimited dreams and potential: your childhood you

1) Think back to early elementary school. Every year for one night you had the chance to be anything you wanted - real or imagined – you could become your greatest dream and people would reward you with candy for it! What did you dress up as for Halloween? When you had the chance to become anything or anyone, what was it?

Note: there are no wrong answers here and you are not limited to just one answer! During a recent session a person replied with: A Lion – they felt that was a bad answer because it’s not real, you can’t be a lion when you grow up. The truth is that’s a great answer, it shows the core desire to be a leader, to be fearless, a fighter, to be respected.

2) When you were in early elementary school and school was still fun what was your favourite subject? (and yes Nap Time does count as a subject!)

3) When you were very young what was your favourite TV show? Who was your favourite character on the show and why?

4) What is your youngest career dream? When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you think it was about that career that made it so desirable or appealing to you?

Once you have answered those questions think about them and look for themes, look for common aspects that repeat themselves that your childhood self was reaching for. Figuring out what we really want in life is more then just saying “I want more money” or “I want to be happy” it is about defining the quality and shape of our life – the things that bring us joy, excitement, fulfillment, and self-worth. If you are living a life that brings you those things then the money will come and happiness will be inherent in every moment. By looking at our childhood we can start to form the picture that will get us there.
