Feeling stuck in life can erode our self-worth. This happens when we struggle to get clarity on our goals, and then we feel bad for not achieving them.
But instead of “beating ourselves up”, we need to take a different approach. When we understand how the mind works, we can shift things in a big way by tapping into our power.
For example, anyone who has struggled with weight loss knows it’s rough. But there’s a much deeper issue taking place: Our emotions.
This can either work to our advantage, or to our disadvantage. In the case of weight, emotions can take us down the slippery slope of emotional eating.
When this happens, it’s time to dive in and do some deep healing. However, we can use our emotions to our advantage (as long as we’re clear on the goal that we’re wanting to achieve and it aligns with who we truly are.)
When we “dial in” on our WHY, it provides an inspirational guiding light toward our aligned goal. Our WHY is the reason for doing something.
In other words, you might have a goal that reminds you of a family member that you care about. Maybe it’s something they couldn’t achieve, and now you’re inspired to achieve that goal.
You can think of that person and feel the strong desire to accomplish the goal in that person’s memory. In this way, you’re tying the results to something you’re passionate (or care) about.
That emotion is the driving force behind getting to the finish line. You can also focus on having already achieved the goal, and feeling excited about it.
Excitement is an emotion, and when we put everything into it: Mind, body and soul, it really drives us forward. Wait, how do we use the body?
Jump up and down. Dance. Move in a way that engages the body with the emotions. When we put as much as we can into the positive emotion of achieving the goal, it adds even more energy to it.
So, decide what your true hearts desire is. Tap into the positive emotions of achieving that goal, and then get your entire being into the feeling of it.
Do this daily, and before you know it; you’ll be living the life that you only dreamed of before.
