You know that feeling when everything seems to fall into place and you feel so aligned with who you are and what you are doing?...
Well, I am feeling it now. But it began with a LOT of resistance, denial and not wanting to do it.
Just 6 weeks ago I made a decision after a lot of second-guessing myself and now I am close to opening up a pop-up shop in a major shopping center in Perth.
I am relaunching Alba Gomez Accessories! (@albagomezacc on social media if you want to check us out)
I wanted to share with you all something that makes me incredibly alive and happy!
And second, I would like to share some very important lessons I have learned in the last few weeks that will apply to any project or idea you have:
Listen to your heart, what is something you have been wanting to do for a long time, but you have been leaving for one-day or simply ignoring?
When something really scares you, allow yourself to explore the idea in more depth. What is it that you are exactly scared of?
It might seem almost impossible at the beginning, but just allow yourself to write your ideas down.
Then, organize them using a mind map or any other tool you like.
Imagine the feeling you would feel if this project or goal was already a reality. Even doing this for a couple of minutes a day helps a lot.
Keep writing down everything that comes to mind.
Share it with a few close people in your life.
Make a proper 30, 60 or 90-day plan.
Commit to start taking action even if it is super small.
Allow yourself to be excited and just give it a go.
Be amazed at how you made it happen!
It might sound too good to be true, but this is exactly how I went from being totally panicked about the idea of opening a shop and relaunching my accessory line 6 weeks ago, to being almost ready to open up in 2 more weeks in Karrinyup shopping center in Perth.
I am still pinching myself. I don't even know how everything flowed so incredibly smoothly, how the coincidences happened, how I got yes after yes and how I am feeling today so happy and aligned with opening this shop.
Just explore the idea of making 'that dream' happen and follow my ideas above ;)
And if you are in Perth, I would LOVE to see you, come and visit us. The pop-up shop will be open in front of Karrinyup Myer main entrance from the 8th of December to the 29th of December.
