Great question to begin with.
I want good things. I want to be in great shape and perfect health. I want to have my children. I want to enjoy and fully love being a mommy. I want more time to do the things that I want to do. I want more financial stability. I want more financial abundance. I want to read more books and learn more new things.
I want a 150 gallon reef tank. I want to travel to Hawaii and Fiji. I want to learn to swim properly. I want my great marriage to be even better. I want to have more capacity to be intimate. I want to have more love, hugs and kisses in my life. I want to believe more in myself. I want to trust my instincts more. I want more and more of what I want that is good. I want to be more creative and I want more energy.
I want to experience more support in my life. I want to learn how to cook a variety of foods. I want to eat more veggies and enjoy them. I want all my relationships to be uplifting and good. I want to see the best in everyone else. I want to feel very intimate with God. I want a very successful and fulfilling coaching career.
I want to grow and develop through my coaching practice and I want to really help others through it. I want to have ten thousand subscribers. I want to understand brain science more. I want to be a powerful and effective coach and speaker.
What we want is part of what identifies us. We are so different from one another and there is nothing wrong with wanting what you want. Listening to your internal voice about what you want tells you more about yourself.
For instance as I wrote this out, unplanned and free styling it, I did not realize that one of the things that I want to do is learn how to swim properly. I do not think I have ever had that thought pop up in my head but obviously it is part of the desires of my heart.
So I am now grateful to this blog that my desires are out here and I now know myself better from just writing this post.
Notice that I did not write what I do not want. That is the point of this particular question. As humans, we tend to focus on what we do not want instead of what we want. For instance, I wanted to write that I do not want to be so dependent on caffeine. That is why I wrote that I want more energy. I first wrote that I want to lose weight and then I changed that to I want to be in great shape and perfect health because that is more true. I do not want to just lose five pounds and not be in a healthy body.
So, now that I have put all this out here, I cannot just leave it hanging out there so being the powerful and deliberate self leader that that I am, I add my intention to my desires. Then I chose to believe that I have them already. I bask in it. I enjoy it as if it is already. I smile as think of all these things already as part of my identity and in my life. It really is that simple.
Next step for me: Thank you, thank you, thank you God. I am grateful for all these things and more. Thank you.
How exciting!
