Welcome,
Love.
The intention of this meditation is to support you in feeling motivated and connected to your purpose so that you can take action and step into your most successful self.
If you've been feeling stuck or disconnected from your why and you're ready to rewrite your narrative around motivation and success,
Then this meditation will especially serve you.
You may desire to keep a journal and pen nearby to write down any wisdom or guidance you receive throughout this meditation.
I'm so grateful you're here.
Thank you for joining me,
Sharing your practice with me and for your willingness to dive deep beneath the surface and illuminate your path forward.
So take a moment to make sure that your notifications are turned off,
Eliminate any distractions that may pop in over the next few minutes,
Close your door and take a moment to acknowledge the sacredness of this moment.
Today is a new day,
Can never be replicated,
Never repeated.
So to acknowledge the sacredness of this moment and to bring it into your awareness and into your senses more fully,
Perhaps you light a candle or incense or put on your favorite essential oil,
Or perhaps just place your hands over your heart,
Bowing your head to yourself in reverence for taking this time and putting your energy toward really getting curious about yourself.
If you need a moment to set up your space,
Feel free to pause this meditation and press play when you're ready to begin.
Take a moment now to connect in with your heart,
To invite in and allow motivation.
It helps to return to why this matters in the first place.
What kind of world have you been called to be a part of creating through your business,
Through your interests?
What movements are you a part of,
Whether you are leading them,
A participant,
Or just drawn to them from afar?
What is the ripple effect of your work and your life?
Perhaps this is the idealized version or the current impact that you are creating through what you are doing.
What is it that you want to be remembered for?
Let's begin to call in your highest level vision for yourself and for your business.
Just for now,
Set any limiting beliefs aside and your practical mind,
The logic,
This is really a chance for you to go there to the wildest,
Biggest,
Sexiest vision you can possibly dream for yourself.
Calling in the highest grandest vision possible.
What is it that you can see?
What's the dream you are dreaming?
The big bold vision for your life and your work and perhaps for our world.
Imagine it's in front of you in a picture frame.
Just a snapshot of what this ideal grand vision would actually look and feel like.
Imagine yourself stepping into the frame now.
What does it look like inside?
Where are you?
Who are you with?
How do you feel in your body?
How do other people feel when they are near you?
What do you taste?
What do you smell?
What can you see?
What are you wearing?
Notice if there are any details of what you are wearing that feel important to remember.
What do you hear?
What does it feel like in your body to have fully realized this vision and be living it?
With your breath,
Begin to breathe more and more life into this vision.
Maybe noticing that with each breath,
The colors in your painting,
In the frame get more vibrant,
More details become filled in.
And there's just more clarity,
More awareness of the subtle nuances of this vision.
Focusing on feeling,
Sensing and allowing the sense that you have already realized this vision.
How do you feel when you have already realized this vision and are living it?
Now prepare to step out of the frame of this vision and back into the present moment.
Take a moment now to choose one goal or action step that you're working toward on your path to that big sexy vision that you've just seen and connected with.
Perhaps it's helpful to set a deadline that tells you by when you plan to achieve this goal or bring this result into reality.
Remember this is just one piece of the big vision.
There are many goals that you could set to get there.
So pick one as a starting place.
Breaking this goal into teeny tiny bite sized baby steps.
What is the next step right now?
What is the first step that you need to take to move toward actualizing this goal or desired result?
And as you prepare to take action,
Setting yourself up for success so that you can be as well resourced and turned on as possible.
I always tell my clients that pleasure is productive and I love to remind them to use the mantra that my pleasure is productive.
When we are fully lit up and turned on and fully alive,
Action flows effortlessly,
Especially when it's aligned with feeding a regenerative cycle that allows us to feel more and more the way that we desire to and turn up the volume on how we actually want to be feeling.
And that feeling of success that comes from making progress toward the things we know we value and that matter the most to us.
So how can you make the process of working toward this goal and taking these action steps or this first action as easeful and enjoyable as possible?
Perhaps it looks like working outside in fresh air or going to your favorite coffee shop,
Lighting a new candle,
Cleaning up your workspace,
Hiring an expert to support you with a task,
Or working with a friend or team member.
Commit to dressing up as your most successful self.
Similar to dressing for the job you want,
Not the job you have.
I believe that's a saying in more of a corporate space,
But think of it the same way here.
Are you really embodying the self that you saw in that vision right now?
And if not,
Can you collapse the distance between you and her?
Can you collapse the distance of time and space to become the version of yourself who is living that vision now?
Perhaps nourishing yourself with high quality food and hydrating or taking care of the basics,
Getting enough sleep and sunlight and connection,
Taking more breaks is really helpful in feeling the way that you desire to feel as you move toward the goal and creating that sense of natural motivation that feels organic as though it's arising and emerging from within you without the feeling of effort or force or pushing or hustling and grinding.
But just allowing yourself to act from a place of alignment and overflow,
Knowing with deep clarity and devotion the importance of your vision,
The importance of the movement,
The importance of your mission in the world.
And as you set out to begin,
Offer your full and undivided attention for a certain period of time that feels achievable to you.
It could be five minutes or one hour to complete that first step.
And in doing this and taking these intentional,
Making these intentional choices and decisions to really set ourselves up for a win,
Meaning to feel the way that we want to feel now instead of when the thing is achieved or when the result happens or after the goal is finalized and brought to life,
We get to choose to be successful now.
You can see yourself succeeding in your mind's eye and tune back into this at any time.
Remember all the times you have succeeded before,
That you have followed through,
That you have showed yourself that you can show up and that you are the woman who shows up no matter what,
Because you know the importance of your vision.
You know the importance of the work that you are doing in the world.
You know the importance of your impact,
Your contribution,
Your sacred purpose and mission.
And as a practice,
As a ritual that is ongoing,
Celebrating yourself for every tiny victory along the way.
At the end of each day,
Perhaps reminding yourself what you succeeded at doing,
Whether it's relevant directly to bringing this goal to life or if it's indirectly relevant.
Perhaps it's that you spent time going to the grocery store and gathering all of the supplies you'll need to nourish your mind and body so that you can create the conditions for thriving that set you up to win as you take action on the goal.
So as we prepare to close this practice,
Bring your hands onto your body and rub soothing,
Reassuring circles over your heart or your belly or both or anywhere that needs some extra love at this time.
Touching yourself the way that you would comfort a small child or reassure a lover.
Starting to cultivate some feelings of deep gratitude for yourself for taking the time to nourish yourself in this way.
And from this state of awareness,
Ask yourself the following questions,
Listening and feeling for the answers within you,
Perhaps writing them down in your journal,
Perhaps writing your responses down in your journal or simply being with yourself and noticing what comes up as you just listen to the answers that emerge from within.
Why is my work in the world so important to me?
Why is my work in the world important?
What is the greatest,
Boldest impact I can imagine my work having on the world?
What is the greatest,
Boldest impact I could imagine my work having on the world?
What were the conditions when I felt most motivated in my life and business?
What were the conditions when I felt most motivated in my life and business?
So here what we're looking for is what created the fertile soil for my seeds to be planted,
My seeds of motivation to sprout and thrive.
How might I incorporate some of those conditions into my life today?
How might I incorporate some of those conditions into my life today?
What three achievements am I the most proud of?
What three achievements am I the most proud of?
How would my life and business change if I felt more motivated or if I took more consistent action?
How would my life and business change if I felt more motivated or if I took more consistent action?
What do I need to shift or change within myself or my business to promote the highest level of motivation right now?

What boundaries do I need to clarify,
Communicate and uphold for myself and my business to create more motivation?

Communicate and uphold for myself and my business to promote more motivation?
You may choose to pause this recording or go back and listen again to really take the time to reflect on your answers to these questions and see what might shift throughout your month or your week or your day as a result.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
I hope that this practice has been nourishing for you and supportive for you on your path and I look forward to seeing you next time.
And throughout this month as we journey through the mastery of motivation here on Like Nobody's Business.
Thanks so much for joining and I will see you very soon.
