Passion is the key to our vitality. It is the fuel that drives our desires and needs into action. It is the substance for which big goals and dreams rely upon. There is nothing more exciting than taking steps towards your desired future. However, there are times when life gets in the way of our big dreams and goals and it is in those times where our desires need a little more fire to keep moving forward.
One of the ways to keep your dreams front and center is to develop a Desire Statement. A desire statement provides a very real message and vision to the Universe that this is what you want and then you go about creating it together. In a desire statement, you are asking for what you desire to manifest in your life in the future. It is different than a goal in that you do not have to know how it will occur, you simply sink into your feelings around it and call it into the Universe.
It’s about creating a vision for what you want your entire life to look like. A vision that you love and feels good on the inside. It is a very powerful way to fuel your passions.
To craft one of your own, I suggest looking forward 6-12 months into the future. You’ll want to get very clear before you sit down to write your desire statement – so take some time and brainstorm a few questions such as:
What are you celebrating in your life?
What are your Big Wins/accomplishments?
Who are the people in your life?
What is your attitude like?
What foods do you enjoy?
How do you like to move your body?
Where do you live?
What are your favorite activities?
Have fun brainstorming! Please note this is not about trying to be perfect or getting it right. It’s about opening up to who you want to be. This is a time to write down your heart’s desires, not what you think you should have or what you think you deserve.
Don’t let your logical mind get too involved in the process. If you want a better job or live in a different place, just put in the desires for what you want and let the Universe take care of the rest. Do go into detail so you can really see it and feel it when you read it. Split your life into eight areas: career, finance, personal growth, health, family, relationships, social, and attitude.
Get clear on what you want in each area by starting with what you don’t want. For example: “I don’t want to worry about bills” – then flip your don’t wants into do wants. “I want to be financially secure.” Then turn your lists into a story – your story. Write your desire statement in the present tense as if it has already happened. Once completed, read it every day. The action of reading it every day imprints it into the subconscious part of your brain and helps to rewire your brain in a way that forward movement becomes effortless. Best of all – it keeps your passions fired up and alive! Fire up your passion – the Universe is waiting to give you what you desire!
