Four steps to activate dreams and goals – second we emerge

November 23, 2018

“Every seed has a gestation or incubation period. Ideas are spiritual seeds and will move into form or physical results. Your goals will manifest then the time is right. Know they will” – The Law of Rhythm, from the 14 Universal Laws of Nature

In part one of this four part series, we explored the energy of winter and how it relates to completing a goal.

Winter is chance to go within, to clarify a goal that feels good because it feels like you. You can revisit that post HERE if you want to go back to the beginning. 

Spring – we emerge from the dark into the light. 

Step two in the dream activation process. 

Action with clarity and fresh energy.

This step looks like momentum, creating small challenges for yourself, small actions to evolve the idea.

It is the point at which the idea starts to become a reality. We move towards it, rather than absorbing ourselves in the research and the planning phase. 

How many times have you heard yourself say “I just need to find out a few more details about that course” or “I’ve got so many ideas I don’t know which way to go” or “I’ll wait till next year…”

Waiting, research and planning are comfortable. 

We can do it from the comfort of the couch. That safe space to dream. But we too often get stuck in this phase.

As Elizabeth Gilbert wrote in her book Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

“So this, I believe, is the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” 

What truly keeps the dream alive, is the ability to know when it’s time to move onto the next phase and carry the momentum through.

Some would call this being in flow. And this is the beauty using the energy of cycles and seasons to follow through with our goals. 

Here’s a few key ways we build momentum and take action in this phase:

+ Connect – who do I need additional support from? where can I get that support? who do I know that could help me with this goal? Outreach, set up meetings, enrol in that course and if you’re game enough get an accountability buddy. We are looking for feedback here on our idea or project, perhaps even someone to collaborate with. 

+ Plan – you know what the goal is, how you want the process to feel and what you want to achieve now you feel ready to put it into a plan. In this step, we’ll get really clear on what time you need in your schedule and how to make that time. We work out all the small steps. We put them in the calendar. 

+ Seek resources – what do I know about this goal, challenge or project? and like-wise what don’t I know? You might find some overlap with this step and the connection piece. Once you’re clear, reach out to those who could know the answer. 

The trick here for us is to not get too stuck on the “behind the scenes” of the goal and planning, which is why we included the connection piece. 

I can’t wait to share with you the next phase of the process – express, a phase that has the energy of my favourite season – Summer.
