Have you ever woken up, glanced around you and thought "what's happening to me, what's happened to all the dreams, hopes and aspirations I had as a child?" Can you remember what you wanted to be when growing up? Or does it all feel like a dream, a far-away fairy tale that never really got off the ground?
As a child, it is easy to dream. To dream big, to dream and pretend to be a superstar or your favourite TV character. But somehow as you grow up, life gets in the way. Dreams you had as a child fade into the background as you struggle to meet the demands and expectations of parents and teachers.
Can you remember what it felt like to be alive, to wake up on the first day of the long summer school holidays and be glad that you didn't have to go to school for six long glorious weeks?
Believe it or not, it does not matter how old, tired, fat or broke you are. It is still possible to achieve your dreams. Still possible to turn your life around and follow your heart. Sure, it may be difficult, harder to let go off your attachments and responsibilities, but if you follow these five simple steps you will find the courage and determination to succeed and live the life you desire.
Five Simple Steps To Achieve All You Desire
1. Make a Decision that you will commit to change. If you are stuck in a rut and not sure what you wish to do, what your dreams are, that's OK. The starting place for change begins within. Whenever you feel unhappy, unfulfilled, unsure or low that is a sign that your life is out of alignment and you are not following your heart's desire.
2. Trust the Process. In the process of change, of deciding what you want to do, it can be difficult to know if what you feel is real or just your imagination playing tricks. Whatever is going on inside, you have to learn to trust. To trust yourself and to know that at any given moment in time, you are in the right place at the right time. Everything you experience is a learning process and a step towards you getting your life back on track.
3. Take Time to Breathe. In the throes of change, in deciding what path to take, you can feel stifled, stuck and unsure of what is happening inside. Learning how to breathe correctly, to take full deep yogic breaths is essential to support you gain clarity and focus. Every time you exhale you give your body space and permission to let go, and release pain and struggle. As you inhale, you take in rich oxygen, which brings life and vitality to your mind, body and soul.
4. Ask for Support. If you know you want to change but are not sure exactly what part of your life you have to change to reach your dreams then seek help. Ask for support. There are lots of self-help personal development groups, life coaches and mentors available who will encourage you to get clearer about what changes you have to make. Your coach, guide or mentor will hold your hand and support you through the whole process of change.
5. Let Go of Resistance. In the process of change, you will meet resistance. Resistance is your body's way of telling you that you have to make a decision, to move through your discomfort zone or stay stuck. Again, there are no right or wrong emotions or experiences. Your job, with the guidance and support of your coach is to look at what the resistance represents and, to find a way which allows you to safely move through your blockages.
As you can see, change can happen in an instant; yet, given we are humans with family responsibilities and commitments life can get in the way of you getting your life back on track and following your heart.
If you desire change, then take your time and by following the above five simple steps - make a decision to change, to trust the process, to breathe, ask for support and let go of resistance and in time, you shall wake up and find yourself living your dream.
