Building the Bridge to Your Reset: Do you ever get the feeling you're hurtling through life and it's dragging you along a bumpy road? I've heard it said that the concrete mixer is coming whether or not you tell it how you want the concrete poured. Would you rather design your front set than have concrete setting all over your front lawn or vegetable garden. Tomorrow will come, whether you're clear on your direction or not.

Monday Morning. 5.15 am and stepping it out filled with even more gratitude than usual. Seven years ago in the clutches of a damp New Zealand winter I set the unequivocal intention to live on the Sunshine Coast, Australia doing work that fulfilled me and made a difference; with loving partner, a laughing, healthy child, living in a beautiful house with a salt water swimming pool. I recall how low and fearful I was. I got clear on what I wanted. I remember putting my heart's true desire out there. Then the relief of surrender. All of that has happened. And so much more. At the time I had no idea how it would come about. How it could come about. Now I know:

If it's time for you to step into changes, find or tweak your vision and reset the course of your life by your design, here are the five key components to consider.

1. Identify (Finding Clarity)

Give yourself space and time to get certain about what you want. Sometimes all you need to get sure about is your next step, like authorship is for me. I got really clear that where I need to place my passion and focus for the next few months is on writing. This does fit into a larger vision some how, and there's lots of space for opportunities to flow in. A sticking point can sometimes be that people make finding clarity more complicated than it needs to be. You don't have to "know it all" or construct the minute detail of the rest of your life. Identify key pieces, and the gaps will fill in in the flow. (As long as you're taking aligned action).

2. Refine.

Enhance the elements you love and are committed to. Ask yourself how having these will impact the rest of your life. Let yourself stretch and expand your vision. Dream BIG! Part of your refinement process is to call in your senses as you construct the reality you'll be living into. What do you see as you have this piece in your life? What are you hearing? What are you telling yourself? Where are you feeling that new element in your body? How do you choose to feel when you have it?

For example: I breathe into the excitement in my stomach and heart as I hearing my fingers tapping away at my keyboard. As words pour out of me and fill the sleek apple 27 inch screen I tell myself how fantastic it is to be creatively sharing practical messages of inspiration and hope. It's June 2012 and I see the cover of my published book laying on my desk beside me - I smile as I write the next one. I'm preparing for both the New York and Frankfurt Book fairs, my tickets are booked. My NLP Trainings and Seminars are rocking with my new content which supports my students and readers to rapidly free themselves from blocks and limiting beliefs.

3. Design

Take creative responsibility and time to craft your desired outcome. Shape your your intention with the energy of the actions within your influence to make it happen. This includes being clear about the aspects you don't know yet. Language your uncertainty. "I'm not really sure how I'm going to move to Honolulu, yet. Bring on the opportunities, connections and associations that support this intention." The drawing out of your dream aspect could include definite timetabled accountabilities to move you toward your endgame. Once I decided on a publishing date, I allocated time - which is not-negotiable, to writing. This meant a re-shuffle of my work week to suit my new priorities.

4. Clear.

Calling in a life reset often means facing the boundary conditions and limiting beliefs that have held you where you are. I'm out there about being intentional regarding shifting unhelpful beliefs. My all time favourite ways of releasing limiting beliefs include NLP, EFT (Tapping), Hypnosis, Affirmations, Visualisations. Once you've recognised the belief, seek it's origins and gain a wider understanding of how come you took it on. Consider whether or not it supports you in achieving your goals. If not, let it go.

5. Set Your Aim, Action and Claim!

Back yourself by committing to do what it takes to have what you want. Build the bridge to your outcome by beginning with small, doable steps.
