The 100% Effective Way To Find Freedom, Joy and Happiness (When Everything Else Has Failed)

Sep 23, 2016

When it’s late at night and you’re waiting for sleep to carry you away, what thoughts run through your mind?

Do you sign in contentment to think of the wonderful life you’re living? Are you exactly where you hoped you’d be?

Or do you feel as if you’ve missed the train of opportunity and life is slipping passing by? Do you remember that beautiful dream that used to keep your flame burning and your heart fighting, or has it simply got buried and forgotten over time?

These are not rhetorical questions- I’d like you to take a moment to reflect and understand exactly where you are.

Because these moments are revealing. These moments allow your true feelings to slip through to the surface when you are, away from the chaos and pressures of daily life. This is the real you. I’d like to you to tune into that voice today, listen to what is has to say, and then honour it so that even your wildest dreams can come true.

As a result you’ll finally be able to grasp that elusive joy, freedom and happiness that you’ve wanted for so long and finally find time for yourself. Let me show you how.

The problem with dreams

Most of us choose to ignore that night time inner voice that speaks the truth; the one that will never quite let your dream disappear, the one that still encourages you to try, even when you’re not in the best place to succeed.

So you do just that. You try, you really do. You enrol in the educational courses, sign up for the weight-loss programmes, vow that you will finally learn to drive or start speaking French, but somehow it never quite works out how you’d planned. Despite your very best of intentions, you never quite get there and never make lasting progress towards your dream. So why does this happen when you want it so badly?

The answer is simple; life just gets in the way, doesn’t it?

It might be an elderly father who needs your care, grandkids who need your attention, a church group to support, a career to maintain, a household to care for, a social life and friendships to nurture, or a whole host of other commitments that stand between you and your dreams.

You find yourself dashing from one commitment to another, barely finding time to breathe, let along chase your dreams and claim some time for yourself.

Because what other options do you have?

You can’t exactly ditch your responsibilities and selfishly head off into the sunset alone. And besides, you want to help those that you love. You want to be there when they need you most. You want to repay all of their love and kindness, and you might also want to be the ‘problem-solver’ who is always there when you’re needed. It’s wonderful to be such an open and giving person.

But what about you?

Where do you fit into all of this? What about your own needs?

No matter how much you might try, you can’t ever be superwoman and be everything to everybody. It simply isn’t humanly possible.

Plus you need to start refilling your own cup before you can ever give to others. Your family wouldn’t want you to martyr yourself. They love you and they want to you achieve everything you dream of too.

The other issue

There could be another reason for your over-packed schedule and your need to constantly keep busy. I think that deep down you know what that is. Because when you keep yourself so busy, you barely have time to think. Then you can ignore your heart and all of those painful emotions and bury them away from sight where they can’t haunt you.

But as you know, they never really go away. They just carry on popping their ugly heads up and disrupting your day. They continually remind you that you’re still not achieving everything you dream of. Which is why you often try to make changes and never quite make it to the finishing line.

Of course, there are some life obligations and challenges that you just can’t avoid. But there are also many that you absolutely can, without needing to resort to guilt and shame.

It’s time to face your fears, tackle your troubling emotions and starting to really live again.

Putting yourself first

Be completely honest with yourself, no matter what emotions might come to the surface. These emotions are there for a reason and can indicated so many unresolved issues that we can transform into powerful optimism and motivation to help you become stronger and brighter as a person. Contact me to find out how I can help you through.

The next step is to consider how you can find more freedom to chase your dreams. Could you drop anything that isn’t essential or doesn’t align with what you really want? Could you stop helping out at the local school because you need the extra time to start exercising or even go to those French classes? Could you ask others for their support? Is there someone else who could take care of your family member or pick the kids up from school?

Be aware that you’re quite likely to come up against a certain degree of resistance both within yourself and from others, and this is perfectly normal. It takes time to grow, change and adjust to a new way of thinking. It takes time to start putting yourself first. But the results will be immense and are very worthwhile.

As you can see, it’s vital that we begin to prioritize our own needs and wants. Dreams are there for a reason, and if you continue to push them away, they are likely to cause you even bigger problems in the future. It’s time to acknowledge those thoughts and free yourself from the grip of responsibilities.

Work with me to face those emotions and become the kind of person you’ve always dreamed of. You deserve it.
