How You Would Feel If You Got What You Wanted?

If you got what you wanted, how would it change your life? I'm referring to achieving your goals or fulfilling your dreams. Have you given it any thought? Have you entertained the idea of achieving everything you desire?

Focus On What You Want

We habitually focus on what we don't want, to the degree it manifests in our reality. Unfortunately, we don't devote enough attention to our dreams and highest aspirations because we believe we are unworthy or unable to achieve our goals. Psychologists believe this is wired into our early nurturing, where our needs are not met via our parents or caregivers. It is why many people don't go after what they want because of the obstacles that stand in their way.

Does this describe you? Is there a small voice within you that laments the difficulties to achieve your goals? I'm inviting you to notice these thoughts when you reach for something outside your comfort zone. Therefore, we ought to nurture our innermost needs; our deepest wants and desires. I'm not suggesting this practice alone will help them materialise. Nevertheless, we've got to give ourselves a chance to cultivate our needs and create a space for them, especially if they are important to us.

Is this something you do often? Perhaps through visualisations or journaling? If not, is it a practice you're willing to undertake? Obviously, your desires will differ from others. For example, you might want to be in an intimate relationship or get ahead in your career, perhaps improve your health or finances. Whatever it is, we must connect with our deepest intentions and understand them better so we can give them life. In doing so, we discover important aspects about ourselves and whether our desires are worth pursuing. Otherwise, we might spend months, or years chasing after lofty goals that don't bring us the fulfilment we're looking for.

What Is Your Compelling Reason To Achieve Your Goals?

So, how would your life change, if over several months or years you achieved all your goals? Who would you become? How would you act? Who would you be surrounded by? Try to get a sense of this future, even if it is a glimpse. If you can visualise it, your subconscious mind will help you achieve it. Here's the caveat: your goal must be tied to powerful emotions and a compelling reason to achieve the goal. You must have a convincing WHY, imbued with powerful emotions, since they will help you achieve your desires.

Are you content with this so far? I realise I'm asking a lot of questions, but it is purposeful to help you get clear on what you want. I'd like you to understand that you can achieve anything you desire, as long as it is tied to a powerful reason. We must invoke energising emotions of love, gratitude, enthusiasm, and passion to bring to life our inner visions. I assure you, spending time alone with your thoughts, whether through journaling or quiet reflection, will save you years of hard work and disappointment. I've witnessed this in hundreds of coaching clients who pursued goals they thought would make them happy, only to realise they weren't fulfilled. It is why I coach clients to understand their underlying reasons for their goals and help them create a roadmap to achieve them.

Visualise Success To Achieve Your Goals

The key to achieving our goals lies in commitment and perseverance, but there are other factors we must take into consideration. For example, we must work intelligently and overcome setbacks and disappointments that emerge along the way. This is where we learn more about ourselves and the importance of our goals. We learn about the importance of making sacrifices to achieve our goals. Second, we must visualise ourselves achieving our goals and work diligently to bring to life our vision. Visualising a successful life involves planting the seed within our subconscious mind and nurturing it regularly. I liken it to the architectural drawings of a new house to be built. The more we visit the image in our mind, the better the instructions we give to our subconscious mind to achieve it.

Everything you desire lies on the other side of your fears and requires reconciling them to see what you are prepared to do to achieve your goals. Therefore, your powerful WHY (compelling reason) will help you overcome obstacles and challenges and motivate you to achieve them. The level at which you are willing to achieve your desires is based on your ability to overcome short-term setbacks for long-term success. Hence, why visualisation is a powerful tool because it is a mind map of your intended future.

Knowing this, I invite you to sit with your journal or phone and answer the questions in the opening paragraph with care and thoughtfulness. In fact, I encourage you to answer all the questions throughout the article. I want you to get a powerful sense of your desires and why you want to bring them to life. It is my experience that spending time on this exercise can save you time and disappointment. Getting what we want in life can be satisfying, if our goals are aligned with our highest vision. We must let go of competing beliefs and pursue our goals for what they bring to our life and the lives of others. After all, when our goals are for the greatest good of all, they are imbued with a greater intent and will come to life as long as we remain committed to achieving them.

Healthy Eating - Berry Power - Blueberry

Blueberries are known botanically as Vaccinium of which there are several species. Blueberries belong to the Ericaceae family. The Cranberry and Bilberry are also from the Vaccinium Genus. The blueberry is a Perennial with dark blue berries.

Blueberries are Native to North America and Northern and Eastern Europe. They require extremes in cold temperatures to set fruit resulting in their lacking in popularity in Australia, though they can be seen in colder southern parts of Australia.

Depending on the species, Blueberries can range in height from a few inches to a few metres. The plants may drop their leaves or can also be Evergreen. The fruit is born of bell-shaped flowers that can be white, pale pink or red.

The Berries range in size from half a centimeter (0.5cm) to one and a half centimeters (1.5cm). The pale greenish premature fruit ripen through a stage of reddish colouring to the final purple like blueberry we recognise on the table.

Blueberries are rich in B Group Vitamins, vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. They also contain Selenium, Copper, zinc and iron, Potassium, Phosphorous and Magnesium. Also a rich source of Manganese and Vitamin K.

The high Antioxidant and Mineral content has many benefits to our health.  They can aid in the repair and symptoms relating to Overall brain health, Memory loss and may be useful for use in treating patients with Alzheimer's.

Blueberries are good for overall heart health and preventative maintenance. They are also ideal for calming the symptoms associated with Depression.

Regular ongoing consumption of Blueberries and other berry fruits can see reduce bouts of constipation and digestive and bowel related disorders.

Blueberries can be eaten fresh on their own or with cereal or a scoop of ice cream. They can be cooked in Pies and puddings and my personal favourite, Blueberry Muffins. Blueberries can be purchased Fresh from the Supermarket or Vegetable shop, they are available individually frozen or mixed with other berries. Blueberry powder is also available which can be used in cooking or mixed into drinks or smoothies.

Eating sufficient quantities of berry fruit especially out of growing season may not be achievable. Antioxidant and Vitamin Supplements may be a viable alternative to maintain health levels and keep on top of illness.
