How do I improve my life when I don't even know where to begin?

Ima smiles as he holds an iPad showing Kate gently reaching out to someone labeled If you know you want something different...

but you don't know what the first step looks like...
come sit with me.

Together... we'll take a breath and chat.

You just need somewhere to begin.

Let's start here...

The energetic vibration within you has created the life you're currently living - and when you begin to understand how that energy works...
your new life begins to unfold...
you won't see it at first...
but you can feel it from within you as your internal energy heals and shifts.

That doesn't mean you'll wake up tomorrow with every answer.
It means you begin paying attention and expanding your awareness...
to your thoughts...
your feelings...
your choices - both conscious and subconscious choices...
the energy you're living in...
and what you're choosing to create from that energy - both consciously choosing and subconsciously choosing.

Improvement begins with a breath... awareness... and choice.

Let’s look beneath the surface — and explore together...

This may be one of the hardest questions to answer when you're unhappy with your life:  Where do I even begin?

Your unhappiness may not stem from one thing...
perhaps your work isn't quite right...
your relationships aren't where you want them to be...
money may feel complicated...
you're tired...
and you're disconnected from yourself.

You want more...
but you don't even know what “more” even looks like yet.

So you start looking for the answer.
A new plan -- a new book -- a new goal -- a new affirmation -- a new way to make your life better, easier and happier.

But I've discovered something important:

Improving your life doesn't begin with changing everything around you.

It begins with becoming aware of what is happening within you.

Because you're creating from your thoughts, your beliefs, your feelings, your words, your intentions and the energy behind them - including the things you're not consciously aware of - those subconscious thoughts, beliefs and choices.

And from here...
we accept what is -- we accept what life is in this moment...
and from this surrender to acceptance...
miraculous things happen.

Acceptance stops the internal battle of wanting something different and struggling to figure out what it is and how to get it.

And accepting what your life is in this moment -- gives you somewhere to begin.

Slip into your awareness and begin noticing:
What are you thinking?
What are you feeling?
What are you expecting?
What energy are you carrying into the day?
What are you saying to yourself?
And perhaps most importantly...
What do you believe is possible for you and how do you want to feel?

Because there's a difference between saying words that sound positive and actually shifting the energy behind those words.  An affirmation isn't magic simply because you said it.

Within my teaching, the energy behind the thought, feeling, intention and spoken word matters. The words are the container. The feeling and energy fill the container.

So instead of trying to force yourself to “think positive,” you can begin somewhere much more powerful: 
Awareness - acceptance -- and the realization that you have power within you.

Then make the conscious choice about your thoughts - about your feelings.

One moment at a time.

Because improving your life is about reconnecting with the person you already are beneath the patterns, beliefs and energy that have been running your life.

And that means you don't have to know exactly where you're going before you begin - but you do need to know how you want to feel as you journey there -- and embody that FEELING.

And be willing to discover:  What becomes possible when I begin using my own power consciously?

That's a question worth exploring.

What becomes possible?

What if improving your life doesn't begin with changing everything around you?  What if it begins with changing what is happening within you?

A breath.
A conscious choice.
A new awareness.
A different response.
One decision can become another...
and another...
and before you know it...
you're not standing in the same place you were when you began.

The power isn't somewhere outside of you.

It's within you.

And that's what we're going to explore together.

Let's Take One Gentle Step

Take a slow breath -- and ask yourself: “What would I love to be different in my life?”

Don't solve it.
Just name it.

Then ask:  “How would I love to feel?”

Take another breath -- and breathe into that feeling - and EMBRACE it --- EMBODY That Feeling.

Now make one decision...
not about your whole life --- make one decision...
to Fully-Focus on that FEELING.

And in the stillness of embodying this FEELING...
allow the quiet peace of this moment to guide you to the next and reveal to you your next best step.

Allow your heart to guide you to one thing you're willing to do differently.

One thought -- one choice -- one action -- while embodying the energetic FEELING of what you want your life to become.

That's enough for today.

Here's a story from the Village...

One student shared:  “I'm not where I want to be just yet, but I am so much closer to it than ever before...”

She described shifting her energy, creating what she wanted to create, believing in herself, and allowing her Angels to work with and for her.

Transformation doesn't mean arriving at some magical finish line.

It means moving forward one moment at a time.
