The Power of Declaration

In November 2016, I created a beach yoga event to raise money for The Children’s Diagnostic and Treatment Center. This center provides education and medical needs for underprivileged children in Southern Florida.

At first, the event was just an idea. The key to transforming any idea into a reality is to “get into action.” Sometimes this can be the hardest part of the process.

I had many doubts and considerations to take into into account about this event…

Would people show up? Would I raise any money? What if it rains? Will people come if it gets rescheduled? What if the beach is so crowded on Thanksgiving weekend that there is not enough room for us? The thoughts went on and on…

The things the mind will do to stop you from moving forward- quite funny! When we think one negative thought, it is easy to think of another and another until we drive ourselves crazy.

I finally said to myself, “Okay Hanna, you have created a Facebook event, a flyer, wrote several emails to people and have been announcing it in your yoga classes… There is no backing down now!” When I stopped focusing on myself and “looking good,” and remembered that the purpose of this event was to help the children at the CDTC- I was able to let go of my doubts and fears.

I finally moved past my self-limiting beliefs and made a few big declarations about the event. When you make a declaration about something, it does not need to be based off any past evidence or facts.

Therefore, I declared that 30 people were going to attend my event and I was going to raise $1,000.

You are declaring that amount because YOU SAY SO!

As a result of trusting myself, 31 people attended my event and I raised well over $1,000!

Create your idea… Get into action… and show up in life.  I can promise you extraordinary results will happen! 

Is there anything you are holding back from doing in your life because it will be too much of a stretch? I challenge you to declare it anyway. TRUST & BELIEVE in yourself!
