Success Ingredient-‘Freedom’

This weeks success ingredient is inspired by my interview with the infamous author and motivational speaker Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul Series). When we chatted about what success means to him, he spoke the ingredient ‘Freedom’.
When we talk about freedom, we are talking about freedom in literally all aspects of our lives, financial, relationship, spiritual, career, maybe even freedom to create within our career, etc…freedom can apply to any aspect in our lives. So what’s really interesting about this ingredient is I think every single one of us can relate to it
To me, freedom is all about doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. It is about making yourself a priority to carve out lucid down time to do the things you enjoy doing without the constraint of responsibility—easier said than done—of course!
The reason why freedom is so important is because it is the root of where all of our authentic creativity, joy, present moment awareness and ability to truly be ourselves lies. If we live our lives, filled with constraint we limit ourselves, our abilities and limit life’s magical moments.
But don’t just take my word for it…stop right here and ask yourself where would YOU like more freedom in YOUR life? What does that look & feel like?
Go ahead…take a quick second to think about it….
Doesn’t it feel pretty good? Yes, when freedom is present in our lives it feels like a very light, energetic flow type feeling…AND it is also one of those ingredients where you don’t know what you have until its gone. So lets take some time to GET IT BACK!
Homework to incorporate this week-
Creating a life of ‘Freedom’ is no small task. In fact, lets just be completely honest--it can take someone a lifetime to achieve it. So we have to respect that it might take some time.
However, that doesn’t mean you should completely scrap it…. one must stop and at least take the time to ponder what a life with a certain amount of freedom would look like before one can actually achieve it!
I’d like you to spend some time this week to explore this ingredient a bit, since everything in life is first created in the imagination I’d like you to choose a specific area in your life that you would like a little more freedom in and imagine what that would look like.
Write down a paragraph or two or three about it, be as specific as possible and place this in a visible space to view everyday.
Then simply write down ONE action step you can do that week and every week that would bring you one step closer to freedom and DO IT!
Remeber, success is achieved by the consistent daily steps we make..so go for it! Don’t wait…life keeps ticking by…
Well that’s about it for this week’s Life Recipe for Success, I hope you will be taking steps to carve out a bit more 'FREEDOM' into your life! I’m Dani Lynn, resident life coach at 95.9 WATD, reminding you to ‘Sprinkle your Life with a Little Success’
Much luv n light!
