If you want more from life….
If you find yourself wanting more, you may be surprised to find out MORE usually isn’t the answer. In fact, less, different, or intentional action are just a few of the things that will give you the fulfillment and satisfaction you’re searching for.
Watch the video above, and use these questions to help you anchor down into what you truly need, and then go out and get it.
1- Is there room for more in your life right now? Before you seek to add, make sure you’ve made space to receive.
2- Is the thing you want really what YOU want? We get a lot of overt and subliminal messages from the day we’re born about who we are and what we want and don’t want. Taking time to get honest with yourself about where your desire is coming from does a few things. 1- Get’s you clear on whether or not it’s a true desire. 2- If it is truly your desire, this time helps you acknowledge and celebrate why you want this thing. 3- It can get you more excited about working towards the ‘more’ you’re seeking.
3- Would something different be satisfying? We often confuse more with different. The example I give in teh video is a 5 year relationships I was in. I never felt totally satisfied, I always wanted more out of my partner, and as a result I needed ot give more time to the relationship, more emotional labor which would then drain me and leave me wanting even more. Spoiler alert- the issue wan’t that he needed to give me more, it was that I needed to be with a different type of person.
4- Are you actively in pursuit of getting what you want more of? Another spoiler alert- most of us think, daydream, complain, and talk about what we want 10x more than we act on what we want. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you do in fact need to take intentional action. Start small, and remember you’ll be happier with a 1% improvement you worked for than a 50% improvement you daydream about.
5- Are you owning the fact that you want more of something? Did you ask for it? Nobody can help you, not even yoruself, until you fully own your desires without shame or judgement.
