#2: YOU TAKE INVENTORY – THEN STOP

As you are moving ahead and changing your thoughts and feeling better, you suddenly stop and look around and look for evidence. What happened to your dreams? You just knew that better job, new car, or increased financial situation was just around the corner. You were mindful, you are thinking more positive than ever. You have been diligent. Yet, what happened? There is no evidence.

Beware, that is your non-conscious trying to trick you! That is the warning sign that you have moved out of your comfort zone and you are being told to get back where you belong. It is not safe here. This is un-chartered territory. Your discomfort will continue to grow. Do not pay it any heed. It is a great sign that you are making progress.

Take a moment and a deep breath. What are you feeling in your body? Chances are you may be feeling discomfort, pain or tension somewhere physically. Another sure sign you are growing.

This has always stopped you before. Sometimes it looked like fear, sometimes disappointment. It does not matter how it disguised itself, it is the way you sabotage yourself. Think back, haven’t you been here, felt this way, or almost close before and resorted to your “old ways?”

Remember the story of the man who planted the seed and kept digging it up to see if it was growing? That is what you are doing. Let it be, let it grow!

The only way you will achieve that dream, be that success, is to keep moving in the direction of your goals. There is no turning back. You have come much farther than you think. Your dreams are right around the corner. They have been there waiting for you, always. You just kept turning around and going back. Go for it, stay the course. You can do it. Inventory is for later, when you are counting your blessings and all that you have manifested. Do not stop now.

Dr. Nancy Heimstra teaches people who don't know what they want to be when they grow up an easy way to get clear on their life purpose so they can make more money, have better relationships and live the life they always wanted, by taking action.
