What DO you want?(DW#4)
Easy question right?
For many of us, it is a less than easy question to answer. It is so much easier to talk about what we don't want.
Our brain is geared towards avoiding pain and so it is easy for us to recognize what we want to move away from and what we don't like.
Getting clear on what we DO want is not automatic. It takes intentionality and reflection.
It is worth the effort though because we are much more likely to get want we want in life (and in relationships) if we are clear on what we want.
Begin noticing how many times you talk about what you don't want . . .
Here are some things I noticed just this week:
I don't want to be overweight
I don't want to go to the dentist
I don't want to take flights that land in the night
I don't like action movies
I don't like loud spaces
What do I like and want?
I would like to be an ideal weight
I would like to have a perfect set of teeth
I prefer daytime flying
I like movies which are calming to the nervous system
I prefer quiet spaces
It is more challenging that it first appears but it puts you in a different mental and emotional space.
Try it.
