September is a transition time for most of us. It may mean back to school or work. It may also signify the end of a cycle; "When summer is over I will...." We hope to have things resolved, wrapped up, settled and onto the next phase. But what do you do if you can't seem to move on and your goals just aren't clear? Below is a technique to try.
Pay Attention to What Enlivens You
Often you can't get out of that proverbial rut because you don't have a well-defined destination in mind. Or your mind simply keeps replaying the stuck situation you're in. "I hate this job. I have to leave." Perhaps you blame your stuckness on a person or situation. "If only he (or she) would change, I'd be so much happier."
Ask yourself, "What feels interesting or compelling right now?" Or more simply, "What am I yearning for?" Sometimes the answers come as qualities you want in your life. Maybe more fun, adventure, a sense of freedom and flexibility.
Write a paragraph or so about what you want. Don't try to figure out how you're going to get it. That's for your intuition to work out.
Close your eyes. Briefly bring to mind the situation that's causing your frustration.
Now bring to mind the outcome that you want. Spend a few moments visualizing this perfect outcome. What feeling would you be experiencing if you got what you want? As you visualize this image, feel those emotions. Add some words to your imagery. Use whatever works for you. "This is great." "I feel terrific!" Imagine your friends and family celebrating with you. Do whatever you can to make this image real and vivid.
Ask your intuition, "Is there anything I could do right now that would make this happen?" Await a response. Open your eyes when you feel ready. Jot down any ideas, thoughts and impressions you may have had.
Don't take action simply on what you think makes sense. Act only on impulses that feel like fun, make you excited, or seem enjoyable to you. Your intuition will begin to bring together the circumstances and synchronicities to create your goal.
We're all born with the gift of intuition. It's an inner compass that resides within each of us. Listen to it and honor it. It will always lead you in the direction of success.
