We spend so much time.
Doing things for other people.
This practice.
Is going to be a special one.
Because it will help you move the needle forward.
On the things and the goals that are important to you.
You're ready to get started with me.
Go ahead and place your hands over the center of your chest,
One over the other.
And make sure they're not too high,
Right over the center of the chest.
Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.
And soften your body about 10% more.
See if you could find a place that you're holding a little tension,
Maybe in the shoulders,
Maybe in the face,
The jaw,
The legs.
And just soften 10% more.
And then from there,
See if you can soften even more.
And now take a deep,
Full breath in.
And exhale everything out through the mouth.
And to the count of three,
Inhale with me for one.
Three,
Hold for one.
3,
Exhale 1.
Great.
Let's do that again.
Inhale one.
Two,
Deeper.
Three,
Hold for one.
Three,
Exhale one.
And three.
Last time.
Inhale deeply one.
Three,
Hold the breath a little bit longer this time.
Sip in a little bit more air.
Fill all the way up to your collarbone,
Your jaw,
Your throat.
Fill up a little bit more.
And now let it all out soft and slow.
And just stay in this internal space.
And just breathe normally.
We spend so much time.
Doing things for others.
It is so important.
And you deserve.
To be able.
To do something for yourself.
Something that moves you forward.
Something that takes you toward where you want to go.
This practice for your goals is for you.
Give yourself permission.
You have permission.
I want you now to think of one thing in your life.
That you either want to deepen or take to the next level.
Maybe there's an artistic or creative project you're wanting to start.
Maybe there's something you're wanting to do with your health and fitness.
Maybe there's something that you've been thinking of spending more time on and with that you haven't allowed yourself to.
Whatever it is for you.
Just allow yourself.
To think of one thing,
Just one thing for now.
That you want to deepen or take to the next level in your life.
And once you have this one thing,
I want you to imagine.
A version of yourself.
Who has completely gotten this goal.
Or this thing done.
You've succeeded at it.
You've accomplished it.
Imagine a future version of you.
Who has accomplished this thing beyond your wildest expectations.
And just notice what comes up.
Take a moment now to just Let your imagination.
Run here.
And visualize yourself.
This thing.
Fully taking it there.
In the way that you've always dreamed of.
What do you notice?
What do you sense?
And then in this inner vision,
Just scan around yourself in the vision.
And notice what you see.
Just trust whatever arises.
Even if it's something small.
Notice if you're indoor or if you're outdoor as you imagine this future self accomplishing this goal.
Notice what colors you see.
Notice if there's anybody there with you or if you're alone.
And then just take a moment and imagine.
Yourself accomplishing this beyond your wildest expectations.
You've fully taken it there.
What comes up for you?
What do you notice?
Inside.
And last but not least,
What does it feel like?
To have accomplished this thing.
What will you feel like?
When it's done,
When you've fully taken it there.
When you're living it.
What does it feel like?
And now,
Keeping this imagination alive.
Of your future self accomplishing this goal.
I'm gonna ask you one question.
And I want you to answer this question with the first thing that comes to mind.
Here is your question.
As you imagine this future version of you.
Who has accomplished this goal.
We're taking this to the next level.
What is one?
That you can accomplish this week.
Within the next seven days.
That would allow you to get closer to this vision.
I'll ask it again for you.
What is one thing you could accomplish this week within the next seven days time?
That would get you closer.
To being the person in that vision.
Just see what bubbles up for you.
One thing.
You might have multiple things come up.
And if so,
That's fine.
But just pick one for now and pick the thing that you can realistically accomplish.
And that's going to have the biggest impact.
On you getting to this goal.
One thing.
And now once you've picked the thing,
Just imagine yourself doing it later this week.
Imagine it happening.
Later this week.
What do you notice?
What do you sense?
Here you are.
This thing.
You've done it.
You're doing it.
Imagine yourself taking this action,
This one step this week.
What do you notice?
What do you sense?
Now.
With your hands over the center of your chest.
Just say to yourself.
I am so grateful.
That I've shown up for myself.
Try to say it out loud or with a whisper.
I am so grateful.
And I've shown up for myself.
I am so grateful.
That I've shown up for myself.
Once you've said that three times.
Take a deep breath in.
And a deep breath out.
And just tell yourself,
I.
.
.
Deserve to take this action this week.
I deserve to take this action this week.
Take another deep breath in.
And a breath out.
And when you're ready.
I invite you to open your eyes.
Right away just jot down somewhere a little note of what is the action you're going to do this week.
And if you really want to take it to the next level,
Put it on your calendar for when you're going to do it.
We have so much going on in our lives.
We spend so much time taking care of other people,
And that's a gift.
It's amazing that we can show up for our jobs and our families and get all the things done that we need to get done.
But it is so important.
And you deserve,
You deserve.
To be able to show up for the things that really matter to you,
Where you want to grow and where you want to evolve in your life.
Because the truth is,
You matter too.
So I hope this practice was helpful to you and you accomplishing your goals and your dreams.
And you can come back to this every week or more often if you'd like to really think of and envision what it is.
And then pick a goal and an action that you're going to do this week.
And my hope for you is that you can make a promise to me here.
That you will not let this week go past without you accomplishing this thing.
Because you deserve it.
And you'll be so grateful that you did.
When you're done here,
I'd love for you to write in the comments,
In our discussion board,
What it is that you chose for your action for the week.
And you can come back and do that again and again when you come to this every week.
And this is going to be a cascade of all the actions all of us are taking to step forward towards our dreams from all over the world.
I love you all dearly.
Thank you for being with me today.
Here is to your dreams.
Bye for now everybody.
Love you.
