The mind becomes withered, stagnant, narrow and closed unless it searches for new ideas.

Napoleon Hill

There have been times in my life, when I have felt adrift, in a holding pattern, like I have no direction, bored beyond belief, stagnant. It’s a very uncomfortable feeeling. It’s a very unhappy feeling. You feel like something is missing in your life but you can not quite put your finger on what it is! Most people just wait, cross their fingers and hope that this feeling will end, that something will come along that is the answer to their prayers. There is something you can do that will help you through this hum drum time!

The thing that is missing is your passion! Passion gives you the purpose you desire so much! Passion is the enemy of all things humdrum and boring! But how do you find that thing you are truly meant to do? Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss!” He spoke about the hero’s journey. YOU are the hero in this story! YOU are creator and these quiet times when you are feeling lost and directionless is the perfect time to get to work creating your future! Here is a list of 6 things you can do right now that will lead you away from a stagnant holding pattern and towards your best life!

1. BRAINSTORM

If you have never thought of what you’d like to do with your life, you may need to brainstorm to get an idea. There are several ways to do this, I like to just get some paper and a pencil and start writing whatever comes to mind. The trick is to keep your ego out of it! Your ego will only get in the way with judgment and that will hinder the flow of ideas. You don’t want that! So write down whatever comes to mind even if it seems silly or beneath you or too big, like faery, or garbage man, or president of the United States! Once you have your list then you can look through it and find the thing that gives you that little jolt of energy right up your chakras!

2. VISUALIZE

Once you know what you want, or if you already know, visualize it! Visualizing is such a powerful tool and so easy to do! You don’t need any tools, you don’t have to buy any fancy gadgets, all you need is your mind’s eye! Close your eyes, and imagine yourself living the life you want! If you’re like me, this is also a time when ego has a way of stepping in. See, you want to be as specific as possible, right down to the tiniest details. Doing so will help you to create the emotional energy you need to call the visualization into reality. Your ego, will bring in all the things that you imagine could possibly go wrong. You don’t want that here. When ego steps in, what I like to do is a couple things: I visualize a perfect solution, thereby cementing the idea that I in my future am a fully realized boss Momma who is so focused on creating this wonderful future and helping so many people. I also thank the ego for its help but your services are not really needed in this exact moment so please don’t let the door hit ya’ where the good lord split ya’! Buh-bye!

3. WRITE

Write that shit down! Write it down, write it down, WRITE IT down! Use a writing utensil and paper! Technology will not work here! You must form the letters, or ideas with your own two hands. When you do this, you invest more energy than simply typing. The more energy you invest in creating your future, the better! You will imbibe that paper, those markings, with power, helping to catapult you into your desired future! Remember, it is still very important to be more detailed than you think you could, or should, possibly be! Just make sure you are really feeling the gratitude and excitement of what is becoming!

4. PRAY

Every child knows to ask for what they want. And every parent knows that children ask for every single desire! Why did we ever stop? Maybe it’s a good thing, but that’s another topic. Ask God/dess for exactly what you desire. Once again be very specific and be sure to feel behind every word as if this future has already manifested! Equally as important, is that you offer thanks and gratitude for the gift you have received! You should be smiling now!

5. MEDITATE

I don’t know about you but I like to make sure that what I desire is in alignment with what I am meant to be doing, or what I came here for. With God’s will and what The Universe wants from me. While prayer is helpful, it’s a time for TALKING to God/dess. Meditation is a time for LISTENING to God/dess and is just as important, if not more, in helping to create your best future!

6. MAKE A VISION BOARD

The last suggestion I will make in this offers you a daily reminder of the future you are manifesting. Make your vision board using the same deep excitement you have been building this whole time! This should be fun! Once your vision board is complete put it somewhere you will see it every day. Take time out of your day, at the very least once a day, preferrably more, to just look at your board and recall those positive emotions so that you can carry them throughout your day!

The point in all this is doing what is needed in order to develop the intense ad driving emotions needed to make your visualizations begin to manifest! there are ample more tools you can use to manifest! Magic spells, affirmatios, inspirational quotes, the opportunities are endless! As long as the end result is creating within yourself that passion, that emotion, that driving force, the wind that will fuel your sails so that you can successfully navigate the oceans of your own creation and get yourself out of the dead waters you’ve been floating in!
