Is there a little voice in your head that keeps saying there has got to more more than this?

13 years ago, that voice was really loud in my head and just wouldn’t go away.

I knew I wanted change in my career/life but just didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was unhappy and unfulfilled in my role and really wanted to make change happen.

My desire was one of being self-employed. I didn’t know what I wanted to do had a vague idea but not completely clear and petrified to make the change.

Why …. Because I went straight to the how and didn’t stay with working out the what first.

In order to successfully bring about change we first have to get super clear with our vision. If we move out of the creative phase to quickly and move in to how we make things happen, this either stops us in our tracks and we come back full circle and end up doing nothing or talk ourselves out of it because of the money and tell ourselves it’s a ridiculous pipe dream and wake up to reality.

But who creates our reality? – we do!

With our dreams, our wishes, our vision – and we need time to create our vision in order to manifest this to the fullest potential, we need time to reflect quietly and contemplate and envision our new future. Out of the business of our everyday life and allow space for new ideas and insights.

When Martin Luther King made his famous speech “I have a dream” who would have thought this would have led to such huge change to black lives in America and of course he hadn’t worked out the how – he had a vision.

Are you currently at a cross roads and want to make a change?

Frustrated or unfulfilled in your career or life?

Know you have a dream but refuse to give it attention because of circumstance?

Have a voice in your head saying it got to be better than this? Or

I have so much more to offer?

If so then here are some tips to try out to get your head clear and get in to action:

 

  1. Envision your vision – use your heart and not your head – Stick to the what and not the how. It’s so easy to get in to the detail and talk ourselves out of things. To help you do this ask yourself some useful questions …. What do I really want to do? What do I want to change? What would make my heart sing? If anything was possible what would I choose to do? Take time to reflect and brainstorm options.
  2. Create options – list 2 or 3 options of your ideal next move or change and prioritise them according to your wishes.
  3. Research – So at this stage you are still not making any changes avoid talking yourself out of things and look in to the different options you may wish to explore.
  4. Ask for Help – Reach out to your network or other people you that would support you see and ask for help or advise if appropriate – people love to help or get yourself a coach always useful to have an accountability partner.
  5. Step in to your courage – start to take small actions towards your dream. No need to go gung ho, baby steps are just as useful! Rome wasn’t built in a day enjoy the journey of building your dream – it’s not all about the destination.
