As I often tell students on the mat in my yoga class, YOU have the power to change your life. Amazing huh? It's definitely a pretty cool place to be in. So why then, do we often feel so stuck in our lives? Fear often holds us back - fear of failure, of looking like a fool, of not getting it, of being uncomfortable... and further than this, sometimes we just don't even know where to start.
Goal setting is something that can seriously change your life - just like a daily gratitude list to wire your mind to focus on the positive - and just like vision boards give your spirit the idea of possibility.
Just over a year ago I set some goals down in print and recently got a reminder email about them. I was happily shocked and surprised that I had made great headway on most of the goals, just by allowing them to sink into my subconscious. By taking my goals/dreams seriously, putting them down in writing and letting the world know I meant business, I took steps to achieve them and a year down the track, the results were in front of me.
Oh don't be fooled dear yogis - it takes work. But that feeling of accomplishment is just so sparkly and amazing you'll be wondering why you didn't do it earlier. START NOW! Lululemon have a Goal Tender website where you can list your goals and get those reminder emails. It's a pretty inspiring place to start and they'll help you step by step. Best of all, it doesn't cost a penny.
I'd love to hear your dreams and goals - pls share them here. Don't hesitate to put it out to the universe, create your own mini dream lab, and see what amazing things come your way : )
