What are your dreams?
What is that ONE thing that you keep saying you want to do but haven't?
Maybe it's to write your first book.
Or to run your first marathon (I'll cheer you on!)
Or to start your own side business doing what you REALLY want to do.
Whatever it is, there's one thing I know for sure-that to succeed, you have to get past the "10" period to get anywhere.
The "10" secret
I'm talking about the first 10 minutes before you actually start taking action towards your dream. It's that 10 minute window where you can let your screaming fear thoughts stop you with all your whiny, logical, rational justifications for why you CAN'T start. Or it's that 10 minute window where you can say, "Thanks for playing Ego, but I'm DOING THIS with both eyes open, heart open and full speed 100%."
Goddess Confession:
I used to run track in high school and no matter how much I had trained or how much my coach reassured me that I was awesome, the first 10 minutes before I hit the starting line were BRUTAL. I would come up with ridiculous things like, "Coach, I think I might throw up!" (He said..okay, so do it.) I'd say, "I think I have to pee. What if I don't make it back in time?" (He said, just go pee while you're running.) (Gross....I never did that but you get the gist right?) My mind came up with EVERY REASON under the sun as to why I couldn't just freakin get to the starting line!
But here's the thing:
You only get 10 minutes to battle it out or surrender to your dream. Anything past that and the Ego usually wins out and then you are back in the comfortably numb place where you started. Back to the excuses. Back to the "wouldn't it be cool if..." thoughts where NOTHING CHANGES.

And if it DOES take you more than 10 minutes to rationalize getting started on your dream, I am going to challenge you with this possibility:
Maybe you just don't want it THAT bad.
(It's better to know NOW and start forming a new dream around something that REALLY makes your Soul Sing!)
What Getting Started Means
I'm not asking you to write an entire book proposal in 10 minutes.
But, could you write a page or brainstorm an outline?
I'm not asking you to go to the gym for 5 hours and expecting you to run 26.5 miles tomorrow.
But, could you get a calendar and mark off specific days you're going to work out to get to your goal?
I'm not asking you to quit your job and have a business plan in 10 minutes?
But, could you ask, "How do I intend to make a difference in my new business?" and journal about it?
Ok...it's TAKE ACTION TIME!1) What is ONE small step you are committing to TODAY to move your dream forward?
