When we experience feelings of anger, angst, apathy, and disconnection, it is often a signal that we are out of alignment. We have veered off the path toward that which our soul needs and desires and are in need of a wake-up call. The beauty that is implicit in this discomfort is that these feelings are providing us with an opening—a door that can be opened at a time of our choosing.

When we know what we do NOT want, we also know what we DO want (at some level, despite the fact that we may be unconscious of the specifics). So, when were are in the midst of despair, we may either choose to dive in and indulge in it (undoubtedly deepening, empowering, and creating more of it) or we can utilize it as an opportunity to determine what we wish to create as an alternative.

Take some time today to create a “wish list.” It is time to place an order. Make a list of all of the things in your life that you can no longer tolerate, no longer want and no longer find enjoyable. After you have made your list, go back and (for each item) list what you would like to have/experience instead. “If I don’t want this, what DO I want?” This process will begin to create some momentum toward greater clarity. In addition to beginning to alleviate your stress, it will inspire the creative process.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Pick one of the desires on your list and bring it to fruition. What is one thing that you will do to move yourself closer to the fulfillment of that goal?

Success or sabotage? Success is only probable if it is defined. Use the wisdom of your intuition as your guide to defining what success is for you.
