Breathe, Listen and Go!

How are the 2008 goals coming along?

Are you making progress? Moving along in the right direction? Learning what you have to do and doing the first steps, one step at a time?

If you are, congratulations and keep moving forward!
If you lost your forward momentum and are now stuck or even feel like you're back where you started... take a deep breath, and another one... and now that you feel a little bit more relaxed (take a few deep breaths and let go of the stress you feel just for a few minutes, you can do that), have a look at where you stand.

Be honest.
Be brutally honest with yourself until you realise truthfully where you are in relation to where you want to be.

Then do what you know you have to do, as a FIRST STEP, to get you moving in the right direction again.

Find out what you need in order to make progress.

Find out what you need in order to FEEL more like the person you want to be.

Ask yourself these questions:
- If I continue to do what I'm doing now, what kind of life will I be living in 5 years?
-What do I want my life to be like in 5 years?
-What do I really want? (BE HONEST!)
-What can I do to change my life so that I am where I want to be soon?
-What 's the first step?

Relax completely to quiet the mind so that the TRUE answer may come to the surface.
And then take that first step. Then take the next step. One step at a time you will move forward.

Even if the steps are tiny - like going for a walk to clear your head, or drinking a glass of water because you're thirsty and it's distracting you - you will be making progress when you start to listen to the wisdom that comes from that calm place within. And soon, your confidence will grow so that you read an article or buy a book or ask someone how to do something and you start doing it. Eventually, the momentum you build will have you achieve your goals in record time (as long as you release your resistance and fear) and you will be dreaming up bigger and better goals to achieve!

Breathe deeply to relax, listen to the inner wisdom and go for it!
