3 Steps to Know What You REALLY Want

Category: Public

One of the very first steps in working with the Law of Attraction is getting clear about what you want.  It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?  Yet, millions of people around the world still have no idea what they truly want.  Are you among them?

If you’ve spent most of your time taking care of responsibilities or feeling disconnected from your inner self, you have probably not been able to decide what kind of life experiences you desire.  This article is going to show you how to know for sure what you REALLY want.  Just a forewarning: a little bravery, hard work and patience might be required on your part.

You probably won’t believe me if I tell you that you already know what you want.  Wouldn’t you be aware of such knowledge?  Yes and no.  I should rephrase that statement to say that a deeper part of you already knows what you want, even if you are not consciously aware of it.  Don’t worry, you will be soon!

Here are 3 simple steps that can serve as a treasure map on your journey to your heart’s desires:

  1. Spend quiet time alone regularly.  Most of us do not do this often enough, but it can act as a powerful energizer, harmonizer and balancer for our minds, bodies and spirits.  Be sure to take advantage of silence as often as possible, because it is only in silence that you will be able to hear your inner voice.  That “voice” may not be physically audible, but may instead come through as a faint stirring in your heart, tingly gut feelings, or an instant mental “knowing.”
  2. Put your thoughts to work.  There are two different types of thought processes you should work with.  The first is focused brainstorming sessions.  Use a notebook to record your ideas about your existing skills and talents, things you’ve done in the past that you loved, things you do now that you love, and things you’ve always wanted to do but never did.  The other type of thought process is to allow your thoughts to roam freely without trying to direct them anywhere specific.  Just think about whatever comes to mind.  Very often, a powerful insight will pop up out of nowhere when you simply relax your focus like this.
  3. Expand your dreams.  Daydreaming about your best life is also a great way to awaken your inner guidance.  Think about dreams you had when you were younger, or come up with new dreams you would choose now.  Then, make them as big and grand as you can.  Keep going until your heart is pounding with excitement!  NOW you are on the right track.

These techniques are only a few examples; there are many more ways to figure out what you truly want.  Bottom line: the most powerful question you can ask yourself is, “If I had no limitations, what would I want my life to be like?”

The answer you come up with?  THAT’S what you REALLY want.
