If you’ve ever worried about the unknown, uncertain future, you’re not alone.  You worry that things won’t go the way you want.  That perhaps you think you have a better plan.  But, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  Life often has its own plans and it’s not usually what you think.  Life is full of surprises to keep you on your toes.  The unexpected is part of the fun and excitement in life. 

Life

You just want a crystal ball to know how things are going to turn out.  However, that would take away all the excitement if you knew exactly how your life would go.  Life is full of ups, downs, and lessons to learn.  It’s all a part of the journey.  No amount of worrying about how things will go will change the outcome.  The path you’re walking on is being laid out one step at a time.  The key is to just be present where you currently are and focus on the one next best step to take.  You don’t have to worry about having a perfectly mapped out for the future because it’s never goin...

Often, you want to control the future.  You want to know how things will go in order to avoid making a wrong move that causes heartache, embarrassment, more work or money.  But, the truth is, control is an illusion.  You don’t have one hundred percent complete control.  There’s still this thing called life and it won’t always go the way you planned.  That may cause a lot of fear, worry, doubt, stress, and anxiety in your life.  But, the secret is to learn how to surrender control to the universe.

Fear

Fear creeps in when you worry about making a mistake, taking a wrong turn, or embarrassing yourself.  You want to control the outcome because you’re afraid that it’s not going to turn out exactly as you’d like.  However, you have to learn to release the tight grip.  Let go and surrender it to the universe.  Allow the universe to take over.  You can’t control the future.  You just have to trust that everything is working in your favor.

Surrender Control

To fully surrender, it’...

Often, when you’re struggling to believe that you can achieve your goals, you just want a little confirmation that you’re on the right track.  You want a sign that what you want is on its way to you.  But, when you’re constantly looking around for signs, you’re also communicating to the universe that you don’t fully believe that what you want will manifest.  You must embody your goals today and act from a place of where you already know it’s yours.

Goals

It is said that a goal or dream is placed on your heart because it is already yours at some point in the future.  On your timeline of life, what you want will manifest.  It might not happen as quickly as you’d like or manifest exactly as you planned.  But, it will happen.  It’s either what you want, a lesson to learn while you patiently wait, or something even better.

Evidence

You must stop looking for signs and waiting for proof that your goals will manifest.  The version of you that already has what you want is not looki...

You’re probably familiar with your conscious mind that does all the thinking for you.  Then, you have your subconscious that just operates in autopilot all the time in the background.  Yet, you may not have heard of the superconscious.  That’s usually because your conscious mind is too busy trying to catch all the squirrels running around in your head.  You’ve got so much going on, trying to remember everything, and balance all these spinning plates in the air.  But, when you find the quiet stillness, you can access the superconscious and receive guidance on your biggest struggles in life.  Accessing the superconscious mind will help you determine the next action steps to achieve your goals.  Here is a brief rundown of your mind and how to access the superconscious.

Conscious

The conscious mind is actively aware of what’s going.  You think long and hard about things in the conscious mind.  You might play out different scenarios of how life may go if you choose one path over ano...

You have an energy bank.  As you go throughout the day, your energy level rises and falls depending on what you do.  Some things recharge your energy while others drain it.  Understanding where you are leaking energy will allow you to better monitor what’s draining your energy bank.  You must keep your energy levels up if you want to have enough energy to take action towards your goals.

Media

The first place where you may be leaking energy is consuming media content.  This can be scrolling social media, watching tv, reading or listening to the news, etc.  These activities may seem mindless but your subconscious is exerting energy to process this information.  What you see or hear evokes a particular emotion.  One emotion might be happiness while another may be anger or sadness.  These all have a major impact on your overall mood and energy bank.  You may find yourself feeling drained after something triggers a deep emotion within you.  Be cognizant of where you are spending you...

You get to choose how you feel.  However, other people often try to steal your energy or cause you to shift your thinking which in turn changes how you feel.  For example, maybe you were super excited about a goal you were working towards only to hear from someone else that it’s not a good idea.  Your fears, worries, and doubts are triggered.  Other people try to crap on your mood, ideas, and energy all the time.  Your job is to decide how you really want to feel in life and protect that energy at all costs.  Protecting your energy isn’t easy but it can be done.

What You Want

Start by identifying the energy you want in your life.  Get crystal clear on the feeling you want.  Maybe this is to feel a sense of peace, love, worth, enough, approval, happiness, safety, etc.  Decide what you want to feel more of in your life.  Acknowledge that you are worthy of that feeling.  You deserve to feel good in your life.  Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or try to take that away from you. ...

Your thoughts create your feelings.  If you find yourself stuck in a negative thought cycle then it’s time to change your thoughts.  Ruminating on these negative thoughts is communicating to the universe that you want more of this negativity.  Pay attention to the thoughts you’re thinking and how that’s making you feel.  When you change your thoughts, you can change your life.  Start operating from a place of positivity, happiness, joy, love, and abundance.  Watch what happens when you get into that positive feeling flow state.  There is the power of choosing how you feel.

Your Power

You are the thinker of your thoughts.  Changing your thoughts is about feeling better.  It’s feeling better in your life, work, relationships, and even about yourself.  Taking control of your thoughts is owning your power.  Sure, you’ll still have negative thoughts come through your head.  But, you can observe it and let it pass rather than stewing on it for days on end.  How you feel is something ...

Part of achieving your goals requires making tough decisions on what action steps to take.  Making a decision can be difficult because you’re not exactly sure how it will turn out.  Sometimes you fall into old, bad habits and make some not so good decisions that derail your progress towards your goals.  But, know that you have the power to turn your life around and make better decisions that lead you closer towards your goals and the life you truly want to be living.  Ultimately, your decisions create your future.

Decisions

Think about the decisions you are making today and if these decisions are getting you closer or farther away from your goals.  These decisions may be forms of procrastination, perfectionism, or other things that have nothing to do with your goals.  These decisions are keeping you from making progress.  These decisions are not benefiting you nor helping you to achieve your goals.

Not Making Decisions

Next, think about the decisions you’re not making.  Pe...

There are a lot of uncertainties in life.  You may think you have the perfect plan to achieve your goals only to be thrown a curveball that causes you to stop and rethink things.  Living in the fear and worrying about what might happen in the future keeps you stuck.  You’re so caught up in the worst case scenarios that you’re unable to be present and fully enjoy where you currently are.  It’s time to live in the present moment. 

Where You Are

You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.  You don’t have to hurry, rush, stress, force, push, fear, worry, or have doubt about the future.  Trust that it will unfold exactly as it’s meant to.  It usually ends up better than anything you had planned or imagined anyway.  You don’t need to be uncertain about the future.  Trust and believe that what is meant for you will find you no matter what.  When you trust that you’re on the right path, you can relax and finally be present right now, in the current moment.

You often seek guidance when you’re struggling to know if you’re headed in the right direction in life.  You look for any sign that you’re on the right path.  Use the following visualization to help you gain clarity on your life path and let go of any blocks holding you back.  It will also help you find the courage and confidence to go in the direction of your dreams in life.

Doorway

Begin by finding a quiet space to get comfortable either lying on the floor or sitting cross legged.  Close your eyes and open your palms up to the sky for receiving.  Then, visualize a door slowly opening in front of you.  As the door begins to crack open, a burst of bright sunlight shines through.  You can see the sunlight outline the door.  More sunlight protrudes outward as the door continues to swing open.  Soon you can feel the sunlight on your face, body, and skin as you are completely illuminated by the light.  The door fully opens to reveal a path in front of you.  Take a deep breath in an...
