“Aligning to Your Authentic Desires”
Are you stuck? Maybe your feeling doubt, needing more, wishing for something, wanting clarity and confidence, searching for inspiration, or even going through a new beginning?
What we all have in common is an unconscious “copycat”. A process of wishing for what others have or do, rather than identifying and pursuing what we really envision for our lives, this is called “mimetic desire”.
What do you REALLY desire for your life now and in the future? Are you living your dreams?
Your desires hold immense power in shaping your life and your own personal transformation. Within your mind are your deepest longings, aspirations, and dreams. Those thoughts and fantasies within your mind are no one else’s!!! True personal alignment comes from understanding, nurturing, and aligning our desires with our core values, and strengths.
Are you pursuing personal or professional desires that society or external influences dictate, rather than those desires that truly resonate within your core?
When you gain clarity on personal desires and align them with your own inner truths, you will experience a profound shift towards a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.
What is the purpose of your authentic Self?
Notice the internal wisdom within you. What do you feel? Is there alignment within you? Frustration and discontent go hand in hand with Self misalignment. Most of us are not aligned with our gifted talent(s). When we are not regularly applying our talent(s)… many times will feel useless. What may come forward is this misalignment within; internal doubt, confusion, and lack of confidence or fear.
My work as a Results Coach is helping clients differentiate between fleeting wants and achieving desires. In a world of constant distractions, resistance, and external pressures, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters to each of us. Diving deeper into desires with courage and curiosity can discern between societal expectations and genuine aspirations.
“Your resistance or anger… is it a boundary or a reaction?” ~ Lee Harris
What is no longer serving you?
Denial and resistance of your gifts is a transformative process. New ways of thinking may come forward and prior thoughts will begin to change. This transformation is noticed through patience, centered thinking and allowing your own higher wisdom to serve as your compass. New relationships, interest and opportunities will become evident. The miraculous connections and speed of growth toward personal alignment can be shocking!
Sitting in the silence of your “inner voice” and intuition is powerful (and can feel scary). Your intuition is a direct knowing, an inner knowing that is a feeling or sense within you. It comes forward without thinking logically through, it’s not processed rationally. It’s an inner intelligence!
The most important awareness to reflect on relates to the highest good for yourself AND for all others involved. Attaining these goals at the expense of anyone else does not serve you.
There are many tools which you might consider as a guide to your daily practice of aligning to your authentic desires.
Activities to Try
What brings you balance in this world? What allows you to quiet your mind? Why not create MORE of those moments for yourself to just think, notice, and align?
· Creating through art, cooking, gardening, building, designing, writing
· Exercising in your most comfortable and joyful way.
· Exploring nature through fishing, boating, hiking, walking,
· Sitting in silence or quiet mindful mediation
· Support and learning through likeminded and diverse thinking individuals.
You will know that your personal design is in place within your life when daily action becomes even easier, your days become more effortless and all that you interact with is more enjoyable. This practice results in a harmony of Self which nurtures positive relationships and a feeling of gratitude for life’s blessings.
Joy in life is an ultimate destination and the most fulfilling state of being.
Remmber that “Aligning to Your Desires” is joy and not a fleeting experience or material possession; instead, it’s a harmonious expanded creation between your values, passions, and actions.
“The law of attraction is automatic and consistent like gravity, whereas conscious co-creation is a process of working with your inner self with conscious awareness rather than by default.” ~ William Eastwood
