What do you really want?

Hey you!

I hope you're doing well.

Today, I wanted to take time to talk with you about needs, desires and knowing what kind of life YOU really want.

In our society, it's often hard to figure out easily that the reason why we're unhappy may just be because the life we are living has nothing to do with the one we actually want and need. Everything is built so we mindlessly take decisions that tie us a bit more with responsibilities we don't fully agree with and makes it harder and harder to change path. It isn't your fault if you feel stuck. But luckily, it's not because it isn't your fault that you can't fix it. 

But to know what to change and how to do so, you first need to know what YOU want.  It doesn't have to be an official statement. Desires evolve with you. And today's desires won't necessarily be tomorrow's desires. And that's completely okay. But the more we think about it, and the more we notice patterns. 

For example, I've always had big dreams for myself, since I was a child. And at first, they all seemed to be independent from each other and not really doable. But more I paid attention to what I really wanted, and more I noticed some things coming back over and over: Art, Freedom and Love. And while this seems pretty random and basic, I started making it my absolute priority and digging more and more in the specificities of these aspects. This allowed me to discover what Love, Freedom and Art looked like to me and how they could become the center of my life, step by step.  

Before taking decisions (even the tiniest ones), I think it's good to ask yourself if you really want what you're about to agree with, if it fits in your idea of happiness, the values you want to live by and if you have the time/energy/ressources to commit to this. You don't have to always have the answer. It can feel overwhelming and scary sometimes.

But I want you to know that I believe in you and I know that even if you don't feel like it, you are on the right path. Breathe, relax, and visualize your happy place, over and over. You deserve this place.

I plan on talking very soon about journaling prompts that can help you in this process and I hope you'll get something out of it!

Have a wonderful day,

Talk to you soon,

Flavie.
