Uncovering Your Heart's Desire

Here is an exercise that can help you to uncover your second thoughts. Perhaps it can also help you make a clearer choice. You might have someone coach you through it. Note, the person being coached need not verbalize an answer; they need only have one in mind.

  1. Coach asks you, "What makes life worth living?"
    You answer. Example: "Fulfillment in my work."

  2. Coach says, "State that as if you already have it."
    You do so. Example: "I find fulfillment in my work."

  3. Coach asks you, "Do you have any reservations about that?"
    State what that is, either to yourself or aloud. Doubts and "reasons why" count.
    Example: "I’m not making enough money."

  4. Coach asks you, "What do you want?".
    You answer. Example: "I want to make more money."

  5. Coach says, "State that as if you already have it."
    You do so. Example: "I make enough money to satisfy me."

Return to Steps (3) - (5) and repeat until you reach an answer to (3) where you arrive at a crucial insight that increases your sense of power in the situation.

If you get stuck at any of Steps (3) - (5), return to Step (1). Continue through all the steps until you arrive at a crucial insight that increases your clarity of purpose or sense of power in the situation.

By the time you finish, expect a new perspective on the situation -- and renewed optimism in choosing life.
