Don't follow your dreams...

I bet the title got your attention! 


Don't follow your dreams, lead them!  Don't act like a lost puppy with nowhere to go.  There is always somewhere to go.  Here are some tips from me:


 Decide what your dreams are (for some people that can be the hard part). 


What do you constantly think about wanting to do?  Write to and study under a motivational speaker who might just change your life (I did!), write a book, go sky-diving, take up Zumba, work in a job you love, meet the love of your life, be wealthy enough to support your loved ones, the list is endless...


Pay attention to your actual Dreams while you sleep


You probably hear a lot, keep a dream journal.  There is a point to them.  I believe dreams to be your subconscious mind trying to sort out your thoughts but also what you want to do with your life.  I had the BEST ideas from my actual dreams, including my daughter's middle name!  I also believe dreams are your intuition and connection to the divine really speaking to you.  So a journal could be a great way to sort through things that are in your conscious mind.


Write your real-life Dreams down too


It's a way of telling the universe what you want.  How is it going to know if you don't tell it??  There are so many ways of doing this - as a vision board, as a ritual, writing a letter to yourself in 10 years time from where you want to be.


Lead your Dreams to where you want them to be


Start taking steps immediately toward the life you want. 


If you want more money in your life - start an abundance jar with loose change, doesn't matter how much as long as the intention is there.  Also, start giving more away!  The universe takes note when you do this and REWARDS your generosity - a win/win!


If you want more love in your life - start giving it and stop asking why you haven't received it yet.  Have you been specific as to what you want?  Really specific?  The universe might be sending you the wrong kind because that is what you are sending out - you may have lots of friends and people that think you are amazing (lucky you) but not found "the one" yet, be specific down to eye colour, mannerisms, religious beliefs, humour, intellect, then stop obsessing over it, focus on other dreams, and let the universe do its work for you.


If you want a happier life - hang around people who you want to be like, don't sit in on the pity party.  It brings you, your energy, and everybody else down.  What if you don't have people in your life like that?  Then befriend motivated people through Facebook, podcasts, music, books.  Once that intention is out there that you want these kind of people in your life, trust me, they will start falling out of the sky.


Doesn't this all sound so much more fun than just wanting something?  Actually taking any kind of step towards it and chasing it? 


I started this process in February this year and in 4 months, my life has improved DRASTICALLY.  Imagine if you worked at it for that small period of time, what amazing things are going to come into your life?  I can't wait for it to happen for you. <3 <3

Everything really matters...

It is only 10am and today I have already heard an amazing story about a woman losing both her legs and winning gold medals AFTER the fact, then a gorgeous friend has lost a loved one who was only 26 years old.

 

What is the message in this for me/us?

 

• Are you sweating the small stuff?
• Are you thinking something is not within your reach?
• Are you living life like you are the author of YOUR OWN book?
• What have you done to make a difference in your world, and anybody else's?
• Do you need a kick up the rump to realise how precious YOU and your life truly are?

 Well come sit by me, I would love to show you <3

 

Wishing you an amazing, spirited, loving and life-giving day.

The Power of the Passion

Don't just follow your passion, support it!

I have recently had a few people in my life question and ridicule my passion. The old me would have just said "ok, well you're entitled to your opinion", but a lot of the time that hasn't been working for me. 

If people laugh or mock what you are doing, I have found it is generally for a few reasons - fear of the unknown, knowing nothing about what it is (and not wanting to admit that), and caring what others' opinion is. 

I am SLOWLY learning that instead of being upset or annoyed by their opinions, I listen with compassion, and if they are willing to listen as to why I am so passionate, that's awesome. If not, I will go to people who are, and they are always around and supportive. You learn after time who those people are, and WHO they actually are may surprise you. 

Thank you for supporting one of my passions, just by being present on this page. I hope to be able to support you too. Kristy xo

Dealing with the Imposter

I wanted to share with you all something life-changing that I took away from the course I went to recently. Some of you may have heard of this technique before.


It is a sequence that you do to acknowledge and work with the negative voice inside your head that says you can't do things, you're not good enough, why bother etc etc. Here is a rundown of the steps:...

1. Name it - make it something fun, mine is Miss Prickle Pants.

2. Actively Listen - take note of what it is saying to you, if you think you don't have one, then that is The Imposter telling you to go no further, we all have them, it's just whether we choose to listen.

3. Notice it - what is it saying to you? In the course, we were given a rubber band to have on our wrist, and everytime we had one of these thoughts, we gave it a sharp tug, but don't leave it there, its not just about the pain.

4. Interrupt it - you know where the thought is going, so instead...

5. Contradict it, in the spot where you have the rubber band, rub or kiss it and pay yourself a compliment instead, I can do this, I am more than good enough, I care to bother, I am awesome!

6. Silence Your Imposter - we kept up with the band flicking for the week and I found that by the end of it I didn't need the band as I was consciously aware of the Imposter and therefore taking the time to re-program it.

We all have this little bugger come and visit us from time to time, the trick is, not giving it much time to fester (good word for it hey?!).

You don't need to be like me and use a band on your wrist, it can be an un-noticeable act like tapping your fingers, followed by rubbing your hands together, it's up to you.

Give it a go, ask me any questions if you aren't sure or have real doubt about anything (your Imposter is probably telling you not to, but I am here and you're worth it!). Enjoy, cause that's what it's all about, hey! (now I'm singing the Hokey Pokey!). Kristy xo

Walk into the Light

Today I just finished an intensive 4.5 day course for personal development and business training. I took so much away but I thought I would share with you a piece of writing that has always struck a chord with me, but this weekend I actually got it. I hope it encourages you as much or even more than it has for me. Please share if it does. Kristy xo

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 

We were all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
