I know. Another part to this? Well, this post talks of the everyday split decisions and choices we follow through in our daily lives…which we regret or end up loving (eventually).
I thought to share some ways in which I’ve worked or dealt with my deepest desires, soul cravings and actualize it into my life.
~Being Honest with yourself
- Asking the right questions
- “What truly matters to me?” is so important in the long run.
- Because in the end, we all have the same 24 hours, and it all comes down to prioritizing and creating a sense of balance.
- Whenever faced with a difficult or challenging time, I just sit down to focus on the 1-3 things I want THE MOST right now.
- It can be literally anything from wanting to do well academically, or focusing on some hobby, building deep, meaningful relationships which will last.
- Just get intentional about it.
- No matter how difficult or impossible the situation may be seeming right now, <trust me> The only thing to fear is fear itself.
- It is in that moment, in which you decide to face yourself in all its entirety–your strengths, weaknesses, fears, desires, passions despite the mind playing games with you and telling you it can’t be done or that it is impossible.
- When you have cut through all the bs, the lies you tell yourself, letting go of other people’s opinions of you becomes that much easier. Cuz I know just how traumatizing it can be to constantly care about what others think.
- A golden rule for me here is “If it ain’t a hell yeah, it’s a no”
~Deciding to Act
- Ahhh… I’ll repeat this over and over again. This is the hardest step yet.
- “The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.”
- So, get yourself really excited/hyped up about your desires and goals.
- Visualize yourself+ see how it makes you feel…the sparks it creates within.
- Then, take massive, inspired action till you get it right//
- Despite all this, I know people who find themselves in a dilemma and hold onto indecisive moments like juggling between “I want this but I also want that.”
- Say for example, you want to get physically fit before the end of this year. Now obviously, you’ll have to weigh in your sacrifices and how much you need to change yourself before achieving that “hot body”.
- But at the same time, you are just not ready to leave your junk food or your unhealthy habits and lifestyles behind… can you ever move forward then?
- It’s really tough love that you show to yourself when you say no to all the things which aren’t serving your growth or progress. It has to come down to one or the other, initially. Later on, you can set boundaries and strike a balance. But never forget to act from your true core values. (In this case, health).
~Patience
- Once you’ve decided, there’s really no going back. I MEAN IT. You better too. xD
- Anything worth having NEVER comes easy.
- It’s OKAY to go through the ups and downs…this feeling of uncertainty will be enough to keep you on your toes and instill hope within you every step of the way.
- The journey is long, so hold on tight.
- Take it slow, if you must but do NOT give up. Go through all the trials…they’re meant to teach you to be stronger and be more patient with yourself.
- Never keep taking shots. Do, do, do and do, quite literally. Reflect on what worked and didn’t work and refine yourself.
- Adopt the enthusiastic, make it happen mindset. You’ll make it through 🙂
~Fearlessness Being Brave
- Trust yourself. Be a badass when it comes to going after what you want.
- Have the courage to stand up for yourself and your standards.
- Don’t settle if you know you got the spark within (I’m hella sure you do) to do better.
- Get creative and make sure to set your soul on fire. ^^
- Cuz once you do, you’ll wanna keep coming back for me as it is just so rewarding.
- Smile, celebrate your small wins, you’re getting one step closer to your goals and improving yourself.
- Grow out of your negative beliefs and the toxic people who are killing your amazing vibes.
- Push out of your comfort zones daily. You’ll soon realize your inherent power which was always there since day 1.
Lastly, stay strong, you never know who you’re inspiring.
~Cheers!
