Focusing on what you want helps you get what you want faster. My article “5 Steps to Making Your Dreams a Reality” came out today on MindBodyGreen.com where I share tips to help you manifest your desires faster. Along with the steps I share, I also create Vision Boards, boards with photos, images and motivational ideas that inspire me. Vision Boards are a great way to manifest your desires by evoking a feeling. When we are in alignment with the feeling of our desires, we will always without a doubt see them come true. Here are my vision boards for Spring 2012, I created one for travel, and personal.
Here are more tips to help you manifest your desires. (read full article on MindBodyGreen.com Here)
1. Connect with your inner child.
What did you love to do when you were younger? By connecting with our inner child-like wonder we can feel more connected and happy in the present moment.
2. Look at setbacks as opportunities.
We all have a series of great opportunities that are disguised as impossible situations. It is those situations that help us grow and live life to its fullest. When we experience a layoff, divorce, disease, all of these tough life situations help us grow more into our true self. In the dark pain we can learn to embrace the light, it is in this moment peace can occur.
3. Follow your heart.
When we listen to the pulse in our heart – the feelings rather than the rational head – we can connect to our true essence much faster. When we follow our heart and say yes to life we will be more abundant, successful, and free than we ever dreamed possible.
4. Chuck Excuses.
When we make excuses that are candy coated with the title of “responsibility,” we sell ourselves short. Life is way too short to cut corners and play it safe. Life gets better when we push through our comfort zones. The famous greats in history never realized their achievements by playing it safe. You have a choice. You can be mediocre, safe, and comfortable, or you can be fulfilled, exuberant, and extraordinary.
5. Embrace Every Opportunity That Comes Your Way.
By becoming the yes-master and saying YES to everything, life will start to open up more opportunities for you. When we say yes to life, life says yes to us. Rather than playing it safe and staying in your comfort zone, choose yes and watch your life transform.

Hi Shannon!
My mom just asked me if I wanted to go skydiving with her in a month. My immediate thought was, “NO WAY”, but I really think if I did it, I would stop being so afraid of everything and learn to just “let go and leap.” And that’s what I need to learn more than anything right now, but I’ve been struggling with it.
I know you’ve gone skydiving before, so do you have any thoughts to share about it?? Should I talk myself into just doing it even though I’d probably be crying and shaking and completely losing my mind?
I’m just wondering if doing something crazy and out of my comfort zone like hurling my body out of an airplane would help me get over my ongoing fear of change and personal growth.
Thank you!
<3 Madison
Hi dear,
I am in the YES boat. Push yourself to do the unfamiliar. Because life is about experiences and trying new things. Thats how we find out what we are made of and learn to love life. My haunch is if you are asking you already know the answer. And you have it in you to just do it. Some people wouldn’t even ask if they knew for sure that it was a horrible idea for them. But you are a brave gusty gal who can do anything you put your mind to.
And skydiving to date is still one of the most memorable, transformational things I have ever done in my life.
Remember fear is nothing but an illusion, and it keeps us from our true greatness. You have it in you and I can’t wait to see photos. send them after. Just think what great writing will come out of the experience and busting through fear;) just embrace the no regret life style. you might regret it if you don’t do it.
p.s. tell your mom she is super cool. 🙂 like you.
P.S.S
If you still need convincing watch the video and fast forward to 6 min 30 seconds into the clip for my reaction…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfMIIek_OqQ

Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, superb site!
Fairly enlightening suggestions you’ll have mentioned, thanks so much for setting up.

Most of the things you point out is supprisingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This particular article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject matter goes. But there is just one issue I am not really too comfortable with so whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the central theme of the position, permit me see exactly what all the rest of your subscribers have to say.Nicely done.
Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are
so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
