The Wake-Up Call Show: Suffocating on Gratitude, Dear One?

Dear One,

I was coaching with one of my Inner Wisdom Golden Circle members the other day and she was telling me that things in her life were great. Awesome, right? The issue came when she told me that she felt like she didn’t have the right to want more.

Uh oh. Big Fat Lie alert!

As I talk about it in my book wanting more does NOT mean that you are ungrateful. Please don’t suffocate your desires on your gratitude darling! I made a video about it for you here:

The key is to build your desires on your appreciation foundation. That is the ultimate state of allowing and joy.

Here’s my list of appreciations and desires:

  • I am so grateful for my gorgeous daughter AND I want another baby.
  • I appreciate how incredibly successful my business is AND I want to reach even more people..
  • I LOVE how healthy my body is AND I want to feel even more vibrant and sleek.

Get the idea? See how powerful that is?! Check out the short video I made for you (above – where it started pouring rain on me!) and then share your list of appreciations and desires below.

With gratitude and eager for more,

P.S. Thank you all so much for your kind words last week about the loss of my beloved pooch, Dozer. I feel SO blessed to have a tribe of heart centered love bugs like you!

 

Let me know your top 3 appreciations and desires below!

    Hi Amy, I am grateful for finding a space of calm and joy, and I want to continue residing in this place even as my life fills with more undertakings. I almost said no to a big opportunity (Samantha’s Creative Genius CEO program) because I thought my options were either-or: Either I could keep my newfound calm & joy OR I could go for more. Luckily, I recognized the flaw in my thinking and said “YES, AND!”

    It was great hanging with you in San Diego last weekend!

    Julie

    P.S. A book that really helped me with the concept of gratitude AND yearning is SEVEN STEPS ON THE WRITER’S PATH. It’s a great read for anyone, not just writers. It helped me see that to desire is to be alive.

  8. Alicia says:

    I’m grateful to have the opportunity to teach kids about origami and about the passion of creating with your hands. I am eager to have more paying opportunities to do so.
