Today’s Question:
Dear Alicia –
I am not sure what I am supposed to do next in my life. There is so much I want but I don’t know what I should do next to make it all happen. I feel stuck and indecisive, and I really don’t want to make a wrong move. What do you do when you don’t know what to do next? – Signed – Waiting For The Answers
My Answer For You:
The best advice I can give you is to focus on what thrills you. Take some time and really get to know what you want to create. Gift yourself permission to dream without limitation or condition.
How does it feel and what does it look like? Daydream about it, write about it, medicate and pray about it. Find the feeling you want to have once you are there and foster them in this moment of creation. From this place of being tickled and trilled about your dream the answer will be drawn into you on the wings of that very energy. Your next logical step will present itself, and you will think oh yes, that is a prefect fit.
But what often happens, and it has happened to me too, so you are not alone, is that when you don’t know what to do next or what the next step should be, you tend to lean into fear. The unknown has a way of doing that to the human parts of us. Rather than seeing this part of the creation process like the space of endless possibility that it is, we see it as a dark void of unknowing.
We lean into this fear of unknowing and one thought of fear turns into another and another and before you know it, you are paralyzed and all thrill and enjoyment fades into the shadow of the fear. Limiting beliefs and doubts creep in and hold your dreams hostage.
I have learned over time, to use these moments of unknowing for two things:
- Use it as a place to clean up any limiting beliefs that are holding you back and realign with your essential truth.
- Use it as a place to pause and build up the energy of what you are dreaming to come next.
Cleaning up Your Limiting Beliefs-
To clean up the limiting beliefs look at the negative thoughts and voices in your head and see them for what they are, something that was handed down to you. Limiting beliefs are thoughts you think that hold you back, and contradict your essential truth. They are plugged into fear and hold you in resistance to the divine source energy that is within you. These beliefs come into your life in many different ways, but no matter how you adopt them they become the negative voices in your head.
So if you find them, allow them to create language that illustrates where you are, so that you can let them lead you back to your essential truth. Your essential truth is aligned with that divine source energy of love and was woven right into your humanity by your divinity.
Your essential truth is almost always the exact opposite of the limiting beliefs.
So if you have a limiting belief that is telling you that you are stuck and afraid of making wrong choices, then the opposite of that would be that you are in flow and the choices you make are in alignment with that source energy within you, making them right for you in any given moment.
We work with limiting beliefs in the Awakening to Your Story Starter Kit and the Awakening to Your Story Book so if you need more help with that you can always use those resources.
Pause & Build Energy and Focus
Now when you use this time to pause and build up the energy of what you want to create, it really help to know your essential truth. It makes it easier to dream in the way I talked about earlier. When you give yourself permission to dream in this unrestricted way, fully aligned with your truth, it is everything.
When those limiting beliefs try to sneak in, you can actively choosing to lean the other way, into your truth, one thought at a time. It sounds simple but it’s a lot more work that you think. To pick a thought that trills you over a thought of fear and limitation takes practice and fortitude.
Let yourself be tickled by your desire. Build a relationship with the feeling that you want to feel in the next step, so that you know them better than you know the fear and limitation.
In a world of pushing forward to make things happen, give yourself permission to be with your desired feelings for a moment in time. Build up the feelings of desire and allow that to create focus and an aligned momentum forward.
From this place your next external action will be clearer. All that fog of fear will have cleared away and you will be able to see and know your the next step is the right one for you. And get this; it will be dripping in that brilliant energy that thrills you! What better place is there to create from?
Remember your life is a miraculous process of creation and it takes time an attention. So stay focused on those thoughts that thrill you and keep your heart open to all that is possible.
Know that until next time I am holding a place of love for you where your logical next step forward is undeniable.
