Welcome to Mama Goddess. I'm your host, Alexandra J. Johnson. This podcast is all about rocking your goddess life, creating vibrant health and celebrating motherhood and family life. It's about living an authentically awesome life. Let's have some fun.
Hello, I'm Alexandra. Welcome to another optimize +1. Today we are focusing on your desire list. Some of you already have clarity on what you're focused on and what you want. And some of you may be so bogged down with the daily to do's that you have no idea what your authentic desires might even be. So I've always been fascinated with people's dreams. I believe our big and little desires are the way that our soul calls us to guide us into more alignment and with our deepest self, our essence. So we're gonna take some time to play with our desires. Get your journal out and start writing whatever desires come to mind. You probably wanna stop this, but trust yourself, your intuition, your instinct, just let it flow. Don't think about if it's rational or doable or how it's going to happen. Just free flow. Write whatever comes out and just keep writing until you feel like you've got a really good list. And then you want to go over your list and look at what ones call out to you the most. Notice that zing in your heart, the inner voice that says, yeah, let's do that. Maybe you circle or star 3 to 5 from your list that light you up the most. You might already be in action around some of these dreams, but some of them may be new. So this is just an exploratory thing just to see what your soul is wanting to do and to create. And the other day I actually opened up a journal from 2008 and I found a list of 101 wishes that I created. And it was so much fun to look through and see all the ones that I'd actually accomplished and some that I didn't accomplish and aren't even resonant for me now. And then there were others that as I was going through it, I felt that zing that. Yeah. Feeling like it was just letting me know that the desire is still alive and it's calling me forward. And I can see as I look back on my life all the ways that my authentic self has been guiding me to live a more intentional and soul life. And I love that. So today's mission is to pick one desire and then take a small step towards fulfilling it. Don't wait another day. Start today if you want to get healthy, maybe you make a salad instead of eating out. If you want to write poetry, start writing today. Want to start a business? Maybe create a business plan. Don't wait until next week or when the time is right, because the reality is the timing will probably never be right. So what's one thing that you can do to get the ball rolling today? You ready? Ignite that desire. List now. And as mel Robbins says, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Blast off. Get on it. Sending you big love and blessings.
