How to set more powerful intentions & reach your goals

It's been a long time between drinks (not literally, I have been loading up on booze), but I know that one day I will make myself commit to this blog.

Whilst not a whole lot has changed, everything feels a whole lot different (in a good way.) Life is awesome and I've been making things happen. A bunch of projects (new and old) are back in the pipeline and it feels great to have different places to divert my attentions now that I don't have any immediate travel plans. (Does Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass count?)

Ok, let's get into the nitty gritty. 

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of the universe, energy and manifestation... blah blah blah you've heard it all before. Sometimes I decide I want something to happen, and it serves itself on a silver platter within 12 hours. However, it's not unwise to have other processes in place for life's big plans to ensure you are continually supporting yourself, your life vision and your potential to make things happen.

Here are seven ways to make your intentions more powerful, and keep you on track to reaching your goals!

1. Write down your intention, outlining it in very clear and specific terms.
2. Understand what makes your intention quantifiable, so you can measure your success.
3. Is your intention achievable? It may not be realistic for tomorrow, or next month but believe with every cell in your body that you can achieve it.
4. Note down the time frame for this intention to manifest itself.
5. Put your written intention on display so you don't lose sight of your goal - it will always be in the forefront of your mind & reminding you to take action. If it is visible to other people, they can help you stay accountable.
6. State your intention like a mantra in the morning - it is a great motivator to start the day on the right foot.
7. Mentally simulate the process of achieving your goal, then clear your mind and imagine you have already achieved your goal - How do you feel? How do you look? Who are you with? Don't underestimate the power of visualisation. 

Tell me, what is one of the goals you'd like to see manifest in your life?

How to make amazing things happen...

There is no particular point to this post, these are just some words wanting to escape from my brain, prompted by a conversation with a friend. Forgive me if it's a little incoherent.

There is endless controversy surrounding 'The Secret,' and the notion that if you put something out into the universe, you will receive it. Do you believe in this idea? More and more, my answer to that question is a resounding yes.

What prompted this reflection was a discussion with one of the most amazing souls I know (who I'm sure she is reading this from the other side of the world). She (who I will refer to as C), is my self-confessed biggest fan, and has always believed in everything I've done and made me feel as though anything I want to pursue is worth exploring. C says to me 'I really think anything is possible for you.' My immediate response goes something along the lines of, 'anything is possible for me, because people like you believe me.'

Fast forward a few hours and I realise... I am making things happen. It's an incredible feeling to have people believe in you, but perhaps this creates a false sense of confidence in people? Maybe this creates a false expectation that without changes things can fall into place? At the end of the day, we need to fully, wholly, with every cell in our bodies believe in ourselves and whatever our cause is because nobody else will get our success into motion. I am solely responsible for all the great happenings in my life right now.

How does this tie into 'The Secret?' The surer I have been that I'm responsible for all the great things I am making happen, the more positivity I have unintentionally put out into the universe. Some of the greatest human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing have come into my life since I started feeling and acting like a great human. Like attracts like, so of course if I'm radiating positive energy, positive people and situations will start manifesting their way into my life. New, inspiring people open the door for exciting new opportunities and where these possibilities could escalate to are limitless. Following my conversation with C, a prospect I have been visualising, thinking about, working towards, essentially 'putting out into the universe' for months got the green light. I can't put it down to merely coincidence.

So I am making things happen in my life... but you need goals, you need to set intentions to build your success path. We'll touch on that in my next post.

I can't wait to share everything that is coming up in the next 6 months. If you wholeheartedly believe in yourself, believe in your actions and support your cause whilst maintaining a positive outlook you will start to make amazing things happen. 

What amazing things do you want to make happen in your life?

Welcome to 2014

Happy New Year.

I was at a loss at the end of last year as to where this blog was headed - I have no immediate travel plans, and the topics I had previously been discussing weren't things I thought would deeply resonate with people.

I am deep in the process of exploring my spirituality and both internal and external environments, and being a subject so close to my heart right now, it feels right that this is what I write about.

Stay tuned - I promise to write a lot more regularly than I have been, and hopefully I can inspire you to find the path you are destined for and manifest all of your wildest dreams.

Much love xx

Leaving On A Jet Plane

8:30pm sunset in Mykonos, July 2012 #nofilter

I blinked and somehow my Europe 2013 trip has snuck up on me.

In just 7 sleeps I will be boarding my (budget) flight to Singapore to commence my three (?) month journey. I'm very unprepared for this trip - both mentally and physically. I booked most flights and accommodation for the trip up until mid-August, but at this point I don't even have a potential date to return home. My money is still all in Australian dollars and I haven't bought my travel insurance. I started packing, but after 6 outfits I threw in the towel. I haven't been working out so my body is definitely not beach ready. And mentally? Well. Emotionally, I am on the road to nowhere. I have spent the past few months in an emotional rut, unsure of what I want, who I want and whether the goals I am working towards are still relevant to my interests, so to just up and leave right now feels a bit like running away.

I will be spending a number of weeks away by myself, and I intend to spend this time really rigorously soul searching. I think to reboot my personal growth it's important to get back in touch with my spirituality and work on mindfulness and meditation. A secluded beach in Tellaro, Italy is obviously the only place I will be able to successfully achieve this ;) I intend to spend a couple of weeks before the journey home in a quiet town off the Mediterranean coast where I can journal, fully realise my strengths and fears, reassess the current path my life is on and devise a 5 year plan for myself.

I am so grateful to the universe for providing me the means to spend so much time travelling over these past two years. I feel like the least I can do now is utilise the opportunity to improve myself to the best possible version of myself. I can't wait to share my journey with you all (although probably don't expect to hear from me more than once a week.)

Sending ALL of the love and happiness to you all xxxxxx

Holler

My insides have always burned with a desire to write, but I have serious commitment issues. Being tied down to any one thing very quickly makes it a chore, not to mention I am very excitable (so any kind of seemingly -maybe -possible prospect on the horizon leaves me wanting to stop everything I am already working on and starting fresh. Again). Routine bores me and impulses drive me.

Which has led me here.

I have decided that a place to share all that inspires and defines me (as well as track how my different ideas and dreams change and grow over time) will keep me focused on those goals I'm working towards, and just maybe keep me on the straight and narrow for a while. ( I wouldn't hold my breath ....)

This blog as has been years in the motivational stakes. Part of my apprehension to commit to regular blogging (honest blogging with depth, not just reposting naked girls on tumblr) stems from the fact that I'm a crazy overachiever. Failure is my biggest fear - after birds. BUT I've figured that if millions of people willingly watch Lena Dunham act out ridiculous sexual fantasies that would never (ever) eventuate in real life, then people are bored enough to willingly read my musings.
