Hello, this is Alexandra. Welcome to another optimize +1. Today we are focusing on activating your desire list even more. Remember the one you created from the last video? That one. All right, look at your list. What's one dream you have that you're not doing anything about? Maybe you want to write a book? Are you writing? Or maybe you want to learn how to paint. Are you taking a class? Get a new job, Find a partner, start a family. What's a dream that you're a little bit scared to take action on, but feel like now's the time? What popped into your head? That's the one I'm looking for. All right, Write it down. Await. And sometimes when we have that, like, it pops into your head, you think, no, not that one. But that's the one we're going to go for today. Okay. One of mine was actually to do these videos. I love doing them. I did my first video on YouTube over 11 years ago, and I've gotten out of the habit since becoming a mom. And I also told myself that they weren't that important, but the desire kept coming up and I had a bunch of excuses about why now wasn't the best time and blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, the excuse drill. Then I decided to activate my dream and commit to doing them. I committed to writing regularly, even if it was just for 15 minutes. I set up time to film in the studio. I could feel the activation energy. I could also feel the fear. But I also know that that's part of the creative process. And a little side note on that, I used to think that there was something wrong with me because I felt so much fear and resistance. And I remember looking out and thinking, wow, it looks so easy for other people to live their dreams. What the heck's wrong with me? So just if you have that, just know that you're not alone. And I will say that at least for me, the fear is still challenging. And I can still wanna have it all planned out before I actually take action. But it has gotten so much easier over the years, and I've realized I can feel fear and still take action, which has been huge. I've also noticed that fear is usually a sign that I care deeply about the thing I'm contemplating doing. It means I should go for it, not pull back. So what's it for you? What's one thing you will do today to activate your desires and move forward on a dream you have Write that action, step down, make the call, write the proposal call and ask that person on a date. Step up and out of your comfort zone. Stop limiting your full expression. It's waiting for you to say yes and I know you won't want to do it after this video. You will have other things you need to do or something else you want to watch or some reason why. Now is not the time to make that call, write that idea down or go work out or clean the closet or whatever it is. I know because I rarely feel like it either. But that whole waiting to feel like it is actually what gets us in trouble. There's a part of us that wants to dream big and live big. And there's also a part of us that wants to stay safe. That part of us doesn't usually feel like doing much of anything. Don't give that voice much of a say. Just get into action, create the momentum and keep going. Go rock it today and every day. Moving forward. High fives and happy dances. Sending you big love and blessings.
