What does goal setting have to do with seasons, and winter for that matter?
First, I want you to cast your mind’s eye back to winter.
Depending on your hemisphere – right now, this feeling may be very familiar, or it may feel distant.
The frozen air, dark over light, coolness, the warm feeling of climbing into bed at night for rest, the feeling of turning inwards. It’s slow, perhaps even still and often a reflective time.
You may not realise it, but the process of taking an idea, something that might be a seed and bringing it into reality, is the exact process that we have in seasons, with the moon and as women with our menstrual cycle.
As you scroll, you might be thinking “but I’m not very familiar with the moon cycles, seasonal living, and even this idea of tracking my monthly cycle” and that’s completely okay!
For this process, we don’t need to be doing any of those things in detail – however, if your curious to know more I will provide some additional resources within the program.
This process has been designed to innovate goal setting for women (and men).
And introduce you to some concepts that will help you to bring more flow, more ease to your ambitions.
It’s about learning how to take action, make goals happen in line with our natural energy cycles. This process might be the permission you need to be “off” occasionally instead of “on”. To move, work and create with the “flow”.
When you are using The Dream Activator tool, step one is akin to the energy of winter and we’ll refer to it as Ignite or the period of the inner creative.
So how does this season fit into the process of dream activation or setting a goal? Aren’t goals about deciding then lot’s of doing?
Yes that assumption is somewhat correct – because that’s the way you’ve always known how to set goals. The ready.set.go approach. And for some of us, this works most of the time.
I say most of the time, because typically what happens is a few weeks or months after we begin, our energy fluctuates, our emotions get the better of us or life happens and we lose consistency.
What makes this process radically different?
When your goals are chosen from a place that is more deeply connected with you, when things get hard, we have a chance to pause and reconnect with why it’s important to us.
This is why phase one, is all about you.
By capturing the energy of Winter, a time when we naturally slow down – we can become more intimate with our dreams.
We decide what it is we want to create and we declare it.
Step one is…
A blank page, new beginnings, unlimited possibility, planting seeds, intention, brainstorm
In this step, we allow ourselves the space to explore ideas without limitation.
BUT if do we feel any sense of limitation, I promise to give you tools to learn why. Even in myself, I’ve noticed my emotion can be all over the place when I allow myself space to freely dream. One minute excited, heart racing next minute doubt.
It is important that we create a safe environment to allow this to unfold.
From here we learn to create goals that feel more connected to who we truly are, before we race out and start striving towards them. This is a period of nurturing the goal, of getting clear on all the possibilities, how it could look and feel.
At the end of Step One, you’ll have an opportunity to declare your goal by sharing it in our Facebook group for fellow dream activators. This is a vital part of turning your dream into a reality.
And that is what you’ll expect in step one.
The beauty of the Dream Activator process is that when we finish we get to repeat the cycle. Likewise, if we go off track or abandon the goal, we can come back to step one, reset our intention and start again.
Maybe the way you have set goals has worked until now, but doesn’t feel entirely like you anymore. If you’re ready to do things differently, then you might like to try something new.
As you can see, The Dream Activator truly is THE best launch pad for your goals in 2019.
