“Immerse yourself in the energy of what you desire.” – Hiro Boga
The women in my Happy Black Woman® community all have one thing in common:
The desire to have the life and business of their dreams.
However as Black women, so many of us have what I call “secret desires.”
Secret desires are those longings of your heart that can seem so crazy, so unrealistic and so “out of the box” that you fear saying them out loud, let alone telling anyone else about them.
Do you have any “secret desires” for your life?
I’m proud to say that over the years, I’ve been able to help hundreds of women reignite desires that they’ve had for YEARS.
The desire to experience more fun and excitement in their lives.
The desire to do something meaningful with their gifts, skills and talents.
The desire to have financial abundance and freedom.
The desire to experience a supportive romantic relationship or marriage.
The desire to be fit, healthy and full of energy at any age.
The desire to travel to all the incredible destinations on their vision board.
But maybe you’re like many women and you buried those dreams a long time ago because it’s too painful to face the fact that you’re nowhere close to reaching them.
Or maybe you have goals you’ve forgotten about, given up on or abandoned because “life happened.”
If so, it’s time to get reacquainted with the part of you that knows you’re meant for MORE in life.
To get started with this process, I invite you to do the simple journaling exercise below. It only takes 5 minutes to reignite your dreams and tap into the powerful creative energy that’s necessary for achieving your goals!
Journaling Prompt to Reignite Your Dreams
Get out your journal and write for 5 minutes on what it would look like for you to live the life you really want. Feel free to use the journaling prompt below.
If you could be, do and have ANYTHING you wanted…
- Who would you be? (Example: I would be a confident woman, an amazing wife and a successful business owner!)
- What would you do? (Example: I would travel to Paris, South Africa and Bali, publish my book and quit my job!)
- What would you have? (Example: I would have a dream home near the beach, supportive friends, romantic husband and $100K in the bank!)
Write it all down, no matter how crazy or unrealistic it seems.
Go deep, get honest and give yourself permission to dream.
Then read it OUT LOUD.
Notice where you feel excited, lit up or hopeful.
Those feelings are all the confirmation you need to know that YES, your dreams are real and they are part of you.
They are meant to be fully expressed in THIS lifetime, not to be buried in the graveyard of someday.
Here’s the good news – when you focus on what you WANT (instead of what you don’t want or all your depressing reasons why you think you can’t have it)…it’s only a matter of time before you actually get it!
Choose to live in the energy of abundance.
Decide to believe that your dreams are possible.
And you WILL see your goals manifest into reality.
