What do you really want?

Let yourself be expansive and open like this image as you contemplate what you really want.

What do you really want? 

Many of the women I speak with have a hard time answering this question. 

I invite you to get in touch with this. 
What do you want to feel- in your relationships? 
In your everyday experiences? 
How do you want to live your life? 

We can all say we want to be "happy." But give yourself some time to contemplate this question a little further. 


What do you value? What do you desire?  What do you really want? 

We often know what we DON'T want to experience. If you don't know what you do want, (in your relationships) you can't ask for it. If you don't know what you want, you have no place to check in with to see how you are doing.  Take your contemplation a little deeper and ask how will you know when you are actually experiencing it?  How will you know when you aren't? And most importantly, look at the WHAT. What is getting in the way of you experiencing what you want? What can you do to take a step closer to experiencing what you truly desire? 

I love journaling as tool for spiritual exploration. I often will do a "free write"-- this is where I allow my pen to just flow without stopping and use repeated prompts to get my expressive juices flowing. 
Here's some prompts for this topic which you can try:

• What I want is….. 
• What I really want to feel is…. 
• My intention is….. 
• What I want my life to look is….. 
• What I want to feel in my relationships is……

Here's an example from my journal: 

What I want is live my life on purpose. What I want is to be grounded in my body. What I want is to be grounded in my truth in all my interactions. What I want is be of service to others. What I want is feel connected and to know my belonging. What I want is to feel peaceful, stable and calm. What I want is to love myself. What I want is to celebrate my life. What I want is, what I want is, what I want is.... love. What I want is joy. What I want is to be a clear channel of light and love. What I want is to travel and have adventures. What I want is..... 


Does this exercise feel challenging to you? Are you looking for someone to explore what you really want in life with? Contact me for a free "Discovery Session" to see how coaching can help you uncover your true desires.  

My deepest wish for you is that you know what you want and create a life that is in line with what really makes you happy.  Your happiness is important! And your happiness effects the whole planet. Let's change ourselves and change the world!
