Entry #16: Declare Your Dream!

Dear Aspiring Mama, 

Wow! 

I am so excited about where we are on your journey! 

The foundation has been set and today we take an important step toward building your motherhood dream. The step of declaring your dream.

In case you’ve missed any previous posts, I encourage you to go back and read them at your own pace. Each contains a golden nugget (or several) for you to have a journey to motherhood that makes your friends ask why you make it look so easy!

Return to the wild! Let your dream be free.

Do you remember who you are mama?

You may not be a goddamn cheetah but you are a goddamn woman! And all women are inherently mothers. Each express and create their motherhood as uniquely as you.

Can you hear the voice of your heart clearly?

Listen.

When was the last time you let your dreams be wild again?

By allowing yourself to return to your wild free-spirited nature you are playing a part in freeing the mother in all of us.

What I will share with you today will help you to feel connected to what it is that you really, truly, deeply want such that you overflow with inspiration and silence the voice of doubt.

This will be the beginning of a series of exercises to support your desire for motherhood with faith and belief that you can and will manifest it (or something even better)

Declare Your Dream

In order to get into a positive state and start vibrating energetically like those bunny ears on that bright pink  vibrator that has you believe in God a few times a week—even if you consider yourself an agnostic—I will have you look at your ideal scenario and declare your dream.

I am so pumped! 

Set The Mood

If you aren’t vibrating at the level of LOVE or above, take time to set the mood. Be it 5 min or a couple of days. It will pay off BIG time to be in an inspired state. 

Here are a few ideas:

• Take a deep breath in. A long breath out. Repeat for at least 5minutes.
• Spend time in nature. Sit by a tree. Look at the sun rise or set.
• Go for a walk. Feel your feet as they touch the ground. Keep your head up high.
• Close your eyes and intentionally smile for 5 minutes. Notice how that feels in your body.
• Dance to your favourite song.
• Put on your best dress. Or if you feel disconnected from your wardrobe as I have lately, go out and buy an outfit that makes you feel fabulous! I’m not suggesting you break the bank, but rather make an investment in yourself that will pay for itself 10x over from the energy it brings!
• Make sure you are in an inspiring mood and that your environment either reflects or supports that for this session. Go for a drive. Discover someplace new or head on over to a place where the best of you shows up.

Or you can do as I did today: Meditate to Craig Pruess’ Devi Prayer.

Listen To The Wisdom Of Your Womb

Do what you need to crank up the volume of your heart.

Ignite the desires of your soul.

Let the wisdom of your womb crack open.

Shut Off The Noise

Turn down the volume of doubt, fear, and uncertainty.

Park perfection at the door.

Give your worries a vaca (as in: don’t worry about how this could happen, how much it might cost, and what others might think).

Put your phone on silent. Disconnect for this chapter or for a little while longer.

Give yourself full blown permission to DREAM up a good life.

Be willing to discover something new and exciting about yourself and the life you are creating.

Declare Your Dream: Exercise

Put pen to paper and answer this: What’s your dream?

Write a page, two, maybe three.

Don’t overthink this.

Let whatever comes up for you flow through you.

Allow your dream to pour out of you.

Lean Into The Future

Imagine yourself one, two, five years from now. Choose a timeframe that feels exciting; far enough down the line that you can see your life globally and yet short enough that the fire in your heart (and under your ass) feels the spark.

If the journey to becoming a mom, and beyond, unfolded perfectly, what would it look like? What would it feel like? What would it be like?

You have the space to free flow. Picture yourself standing in front of a blank canvas. Paint your masterpiece with words or however way you wish to express it. Do it now.

Make a bucket list. What would you love to experience? learn? create? contribute? in that timeframe.

When I look back at what I wrote when I last did this exercise, I get chills. I feel inspired and excited because I know that in the not so distant future, you too will look back and be amazed at all that has become a reality.

When you allow your dreams to pour out of you, they come alive. Some will fizzle out as the most potent ones take what they need to grow. These are the ones that you will look back on and be absolutely amazed.

Have A Dream Week!

For 7 days, give yourself permission to dream. Let your imagination run wild.

What lights you up doesn’t need to make sense and you don’t need to commit or worry about how you’ll make any of it a reality.

Let go of making sense.

Throw colours at the canvas of your life. Eventually you will see what sticks.

As adults, we tend to stop dreaming or put a limit on them. Perhaps because we feel burdened by our responsibilities or intimidated by what it might take to make them happen. Or we’ve experienced failure and disappointment more than we think we should.

Seven days. Take seven days out of your precious life to wonder. To explore the yearnings of your soul. The aching in your womb. See what happens.

I encourage you to write our your dream and anything else that comes up for you. However, it doesn’t have to be perfect, long, or written on anything else than a paper napkin. But you must be willing to open up the valve of your dreams before moving forward.

Ok?

Great.

Have fun!

With love,
Melissa
