In this episode, we dive into the power of goal setting and why it’s a game-changer for achieving your dreams. Inspired by The Success Principles by Jack Canfield, we explore three key reasons goal setting is so important: ✨ Getting clear on your goals activates your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS), helping you notice opportunities to make them happen. ✨ Writing down your goals makes them significantly more likely to come true. ✨ Dreaming big expands your mindset, stretches your belief in what’s possible, and keeps you motivated to pursue meaningful goals. I also share a personal story of how I achieved a big goal using these techniques—proof that this works! Your Weekly Challenge! Write down 101 goals for your life. They can be big, small, wild, practical—anything that excites you. This exercise helps you think beyond your usual limitations and opens you up to possibilities you may not have considered before. You might be surprised by what comes up and how many of these goals start becoming reality over time! Here are 3 of my 101 goals... what about YOU?!

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Too much to do, but not enough time? Take an 8-minute pause to reset with this guided meditation designed to ease overwhelm and bring you back to center. Often, overwhelm comes from feeling like everything is urgent—when in reality, some things can wait, be simplified, or let go. This meditation will help you reflect, breathe, and create space for clarity. Afterward, take a few minutes to journal with these prompts: ✨ What is most important today? ✨ What can I delegate or set aside? ✨ What is not actually necessary? When we prioritize what truly matters, we often realize that certain tasks aren’t essential—or that there’s a more efficient way forward. May this guided experience help you to breathe, pause, and move through your day with more ease and intention. _____ 💌 Join my newsletter for free meditations & life tools: https://rainbowsarecircles.myflodesk.com/newsletter 😊 Support the show on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/rainbowsarecircles 📲 Let’s connect!

In this episode, we explore the idea that life’s challenges are actually opportunities for growth. Inspired by Wayne Dyer’s wisdom, I share personal experiences, practical tools, and reflective questions to help you shift your perspective and turn obstacles into stepping stones for personal expansion. Here’s what we’ll explore: Reframing Problems Remind yourself that problems are temporary and part of your journey. Shift your mindset to see obstacles as opportunities for growth, rather than something that you just have to "get through." Trust the Process Believe that everything happens for a reason, even if you can’t see it yet. Trust that you’re never given more than you can handle. Practice Gratitude Embrace a mindset of gratitude: I am grateful for the opportunity to grow through this experience. Reflection Prompts Ask yourself: What can I learn from this situation? How am I being asked to level up? How is this experience helping me grow? Take some time to pause and reflect on these tools during the episode. By applying them to your life, you’ll begin to see challenges not as obstacles but as opportunities for transformation. Let’s stay connected!

Are you feeling as if you are forcing things to happen? Swimming upstream? Struggling with a challenge? In episode 36, I shared a message that you are exactly where you are meant to be. This episode is a continuation of that message. You don't have to try so hard. You don't have to push and force. Sometimes you just have to pause and stop. Tune into your body. Look around. Reflect. Ask yourself: how can I stop forcing, and start trusting? How can I flow with life? How can I surrender? May this message serve as a gentle reminder that you are exactly where you should be. And the next step is to pause and take the next best step. You don't have to know what the entire path looks like. You can't connect the dots looking forward. You just have to trust that each step, thoughtfully chosen, will lead to the next best step. This is a practice. So "mistakes" are part of the journey. Give yourself grace, and enjoy the adventure... Love, Julie *Join my newsletter for exclusive udates and life tools for magical living!* Rainbows are Circles Newsletter www.rainbowsarecircles.com ___________ EPISODE TRANSCRIPT: Hi everybody, welcome back to Rainbows Are Circles. Today we're doing an impromptu episode. I was really excited to record an episode today and I started kind of formulating a few topics and what I wanted to say and none of them seemed to be panning out, like I just kind of felt like I was forcing it. And so I decided that I was going to do something similar to what I did a couple weeks ago where I just kind of pause, take a breath and ask what wants to come through right now? What do people need to hear right now? How can I best serve whoever is listening to this? So I just invite you to take a deep breath in and out with me. Dear loved ones, thank you for being here, for your presence, for opening your ears to this message. Recently I shared that you are exactly where you're meant to be. (1:26 - 2:49) And some of you found that very frustrating to hear. I get it. But I'm here to tell you again that wherever you are, whatever is going on, everything is happening and playing out exactly as it's meant to. You don't need to figure out why. You don't need to understand everything right now. The most important thing to do right now is to accept where you are and to trust that it's happening for you. Once you're in that space, the answer, the next step, the next part of your path will be revealed. You cannot always see the whole path from the beginning. There is a step-by-step process that happens. (2:51 - 7:35) It is an unfolding. As you take one step, the next one gets revealed. But you don't get to see the whole thing right away, which is why it requires trust. Now this is going to feel very scary for some of you. Trust in what? Trust how? Trust why? Why not? How has your lack of trust served you so far? How has not trusting played out in your life? How does it feel to force or to live from ego, from overthinking, from overplanning? This may work for you in some ways, but it does not lead to the most fulfilling path. You can and should ponder on this on your own. Don't take anything as an absolute. Anything that I say or anything that you hear from anybody, don't just take it as a cold hard fact. Reflect on it.Let it roll around in your mind and see, does that feel true for me? And then you decide. And then you can decide to take advice, follow it, try it, or not. But be open to hearing it, reflect on it, decide and think for yourself after that. That's all for today, but it's actually quite a lot. And that is your homework to reflect on how you do or do not trust in the rhythm of life, in the guidance that is always available to you. How do you try to force things to happen? And how do you listen when something feels like there's so much resistance that it's time to take a pause? And when you feel that resistance, what do you do next? What do you feel called to do next? You may not know what that is because you're not used to listening. And so this week, that's something that you can practice. When you feel you're up against a wall, when you're a salmon swimming upstream, what if you stopped? Stopped forcing, stopped exerting so much energy and trying so hard. What if you then stopped and asked, is there another way? How can I make this more fun? How can I make this easier? How can I flow with life instead of fighting against it? This can be applied to any aspect of your life, any activity, any task, any project, any relationship. Play with it, explore, have fun, enjoy, and take note of what you observe. Feel free to share it. Thank you for listening and have a beautiful and magical week. (7:36 - 7:43) Make it magical. How you do that is up to you. Until next time. (7:46 - 8:13) Thanks for tuning into Rainbows Are Circles.
