#050 Are You Even Aware You Got that Wish You've Been Waiting For?

Life moves so quickly that we often overlook the fact that the dream we've been waiting for, praying about and even planning is here. Only we've barely acknowledged it as we're onto the next wish, dream or desire. Too often we get lost in our thoughts (future desires or old stories) that we fail to celebrate that we've arrived to where we only wished we might be headed. I had this aha as I was walking through Rome last week. We were walking past the ancient ruins where Caesar was killed, when I realized, "You are living the dream." We'd been talking about going to Italy for two years and finally we were here. Only I was getting lost in an old story of the way things needed to be. I literally stopped in the middle of the busy street and shifted my thinking from feelings of lack to abundance, realizing I get to choose how I think and believe. Now, you might be thinking, 'you're in Rome, that's a no brainer. I'm stuck in a job, a home or an area I don't like. If so, let me ask you this - has your job afforded you things you never thought you might have? Are you with someone you never imagined would show up in your life? Do you have a hobby that you've gotten to pursue or reconnected with an old friend? Think back to a time when you only dreamt about what you might be, do or have now. Were any these elements a part of dreams you never thought possible. If so, have you taken the time to acknowledge them and celebrate? We have to take time to celebrate, otherwise life is only a series of what we want and don't yet have. My healing tip for you today is to simply breath, making the exhale longer than the inhale to turn on the parasympathetic nervous system and calm mind and body.The information presented on this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or prescribe for any medical or psychological condition, nor to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure any such conditions.
