I am open to receive all of the good things I want.

This is tricky.

There is this thing we all tend to do that I call "Circling The Dream"

I'd love to start my own yarn store/coffee shop but, ugh I don't want to deal with all of the, like, business stuff, you know? lol

The person's whole being literally LIGHTS UP when they mention the yarn store/coffee shop and you just know that they can see this perfectly clear in their mind's eye and they are flooded with joy and excitement for all the magic that could happen there and how amazing it would feel to LIVE inside this dream.

And then the lights go out and their shoulders hunch forward a little, shrinking in, as the "you don't have what it takes to really handle this" inner critic takes over.

And then the smile or laugh as the "you know, I'm just not one of those people who can run a business and I'm totally ok with that, I really don't want all of the stress" story takes over.

You know when you are plugged into your truth.

If your deepest truth is that you don't want to own a yarn store/coffee shop then you have likely never LITERALLY LIT UP while saying "I would love to start a yarn store/coffee shop"

For me personally, the yarn store coffee shop feels like a really cool idea, I can see me knitting on a comfy couch drinking amazing coffee and helping my customers learn how to use double pointed needles, and it sounds great but it doesn't quite light me up.

So I don't keep thinking about it.

It's not calling me.

Maybe it's not calling you either.

But what about the thing that IS calling?

Because I have one of those and I know you do too.

When I think about it, something shifts in my heart. It's tangible.

In those moments when I can say " YES I WANT THIS" I feel the thrill of the full body light up.

And then I feel the body mind crash of "but I don't know if I can pull it off"

Maybe I'm not good enough.

Maybe I can't BE this lit up.

And then stories flood in. Look around you - how many people are THAT lit up in their lives? Who am I to want MORE? Plus, I am not good enough. I could go broke trying - financially and emotionally.

So I tuck the dream away.

But it's calling me.

So it doesn't stay tucked.

I call this Circling The Dream.

It's an especially annoying part of the Dream Work where you are working through your resistance to fully claiming what you want.

Circling the Dream is a VALID and VITAL part of the work.

ENGAGING with your circling leads to the resolution your ambivalence, so you can direct all of your creative energy towards building the path that leads to this juicy new dream.

Do this with me, in Dream Book - remember if you join before Feb 10 you also get The Obstacle Is The Way Through class.

$Let\'s be honest. You are NOT all that open.$
