The Importance of Daily Success Rituals

No matter what your desires are in life, if you don't take action towards your goals, you will never

experience the success you want and deserve. But how do you know what action to take? 

If you take action at the wrong time, or the wrong action at the right time, you won't necessarily find what you're looking for. So what you do is just as important as when you do it. To make things even more confusing is the fact that sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at all. 

There is an easy way of finding your own way through this and stepping on to your path towards your greatest life. This is through daily rituals. The best way to get anywhere is one step at a time. You can't suddenly decide you want to run a marathon after years of not running and run that marathon successfully. You risk injury, dehydration, exhaustion and even worse. To run a marathon successfully, you need to take it one day a time, taking specific action over a specific period of time. 

The first step towards your own success is getting a clear picture of the success you desire. It's so important to know exactly where you want to go! Stephen Richards said that "Unless you know where you are going then you will not know how to get there". Just like we need a clear destination on a map to find our route, we need a clear picture of our desired outcome before we can ever know the steps to getting there. To create a clear vision, ask your self questions about this desire to get as clear as possible, such as:

What is it that you want to experience?

What will that look like?

Who will be with you?

What will you do?  

Where will you be?

What will the environment around you look like?

When will this happen?

and so on. Write down all of the details of your desire. Children could paint or draw a picture of them experiencing exactly what they want. You could even write a story about how it all happens. 

Once you are as clear as possible on your vision, the third step is to imagine it happening. Close your eyes and imagine that your desire has already manifested. You are now in the scene that you've gained clarity on. Notice every detail all around you. Notice what it feels like to be experiencing what you want. Notice what you feel in your body, such as butterflies in your stomach or a buzzing on your skin.

After you visualize your desire as clearly as you can, and get in to the feeling place of what you want to experience, ask yourself "What are my next steps towards this goal?" Schedule in your next inspired steps to your calendar. If you don't feel inspired to take any action at this point, wait until you do. 

If you do feel inspired to take action, be sure to get clear on what that action is, when the right time is to do it, and schedule it in so that you actually take that action. When you put these daily success rituals in to your calendar, you will be much more likely to complete them, and these actions (or daily rituals) will build toward your desire. They may also shift and change from day to day, week to week, month to month. Daily steps, or rituals, move you forward toward your desire. 

For example, if your goal is to get in shape, perhaps your next steps are to go for a daily walk, drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe after a few weeks, you feel inspired to start running or join a gym, and see a nutritionist. If your goal is to be more connected as a family, perhaps you feel inspired to read stories to your children each night at bedtime and have a family games night once a week. Perhaps after a few weeks or months you feel inspired to start meditating or exercising together each day as a family.

No matter what your desire is, there are steps that will get you there. It is always possible. To find your own steps there, connect to your vision and you will naturally be inspired to the right steps for you.

I look forward to hearing all about your daily success rituals and all of the successes you create in your lives as a family!
