What do You do When You Are Not a Planner or Goal Setter?
Posted by: | CommentsToday I had an awesome Kick-Ass Consultation with a really cool woman who told me that she is not big on liner thinking…and not much of a goal setter, so she is at a loss around how to change her life.
Isn’t that how you do it?
You set some goals and lay out a step by step plan for achieving those goals?
Boy…did this get me fired up!!!
Yes…that is exactly how SOME people go about successfully changing their lives.
But what about the rest of us who that does not work for?
I know that I’m not the only one who never had much luck with setting goals and laying out a structured plan to reach them.
To me it always seemed so limiting…and difficult to figure out ahead of time what steps that I needed to take in order to make something happen. That is not to say that I have never had success setting goals and laying out a plan, but the reality is that everything I ended up getting in that way, always turned out to be something that I did not really want in the long run. I was so focused on following the plan, I ignored all the signs that what I was pursuing really was not for me.
Can you relate to that too?
So what do you do????
I prefer a more organic method of manifestation that allows you to be in the flow and effortlessly creating your dream life.
It’s all about creating and connecting to a vision for your life, and then allowing it to naturally unfold before you. The results that I’ve had with this have been amazing. I’ve used this method to create my business, find my awesome home, my community, my truly delicious relationship and to have a totally kick-ass birthday celebration (You can read about that here).
The cool part about this approach is that it leaves plenty of space for fine tuning your vision. As things are unfolding, it is really easy to determine if it is what you want or not, and you can make any adjustments necessary. You also remove the stress and frustration that is often felt around trying to achieve your goals in a specific way. It opens things up and invites in more flow to your process.
The more I do this, the better I get at it. It becomes effortless. I learned some simple practices that help speed up the process. Now things show up for me as soon as I allow them to. I see the same results with my clients.
I can teach you how to do this too if you want me to.
Sign up for your very own Kick-Ass Consultation and we can discuss how we can work together to create your Kick-Ass Dream life too.
“You Can’t Get There From Here.”
Posted by: | CommentsThis is so true and it got me thinking this morning:
Invariably, when big dreams come true, and I mean BIG, Leah, there is a total metamorphosis of one’s life. Their thoughts change, their words change, decisions are made differently, gratitude is tossed about like rice at a wedding, priorities are rearranged, and optimism soars…. Yeah, they’re almost annoying.
You could have guessed all that, huh?
Would you have guessed that these changes, invariably, come before, not after, their dream’s manifestation?
Woohooooooo,
The Universe
This quote reminds me of the old saying: “You can’t get there from here.”
Many people think that their life will change only after they have what they dream about….the job…car…house…lifestyle…relationship…whatever it is that they really want. That achieving the dream is what will bring the happiness, success and meaning into their lives.
That idea is backwards!
If you are dis-satisfied, frustrated, uninspired and totally tuned out, then there is no way your dream life can show up. It is not an energetic match!
Living your dream will come as a result of your tapping into what that dream is and feels like, and aligning yourself with the energy before hand. The best part is that you have the ability to easily do this. It is like training for a marathon. I do not know anyone who can run the Boston Marathon without training for it. (Well, maybe I know one person who did that but that was 20 years ago and he was young, fueled by a lot of whiskey ,and he barely made it and was a wreck for a week after.) The point is that you need to train, and prepare your self mentally and physically for it.
I call this “Aligning with the Energy of your Dream” and it is a fairly simple process. You spend sometime imagining that you are living your dream life and thinking about how it is going to feel and what you are going to be experiencing. Then you set up structures in your life that support you in that.
For example, if your dream life includes lots of activity, and in this moment you spend a lot of time inactive, it would serve you well to get moving and active now. The same is true of setting priorities that support your new life. You have the power to make choices and focus your attention on what you desire. Make a choice to surround yourself with the people and things that support you in it.
Set yourself up for success right now. Act as if you were living your dream and do your best to bring pieces of it into your life bit by bit. It does not have to be anything big and drastic unless that feels good to you. Set the stage for your dream to appear.
And most importantly, GET HAPPY NOW! Begin to embody the energy of what you want to be living right now. Build it up and call forth more of the juicy goodness that you are wanting.

Is Fear Stopping You ?

Many people are afraid to take that leap of faith.
It is too scary!
There are so many unknown factors! So you blame it on lack of money, or “let me ask my family”, or I have no time, or whatever other excuse easily comes to your lips.
The end result is that you continue on in a life that feels sucky and uninspiring. You long for something different, go on anti-depressants, buy one more self-help book, or stay frustrated, angry and resentful because you are stuck in a rut and can’t get out.
