The Desire Map

By: Viola Glink, Desire Map Facilitator

From frustrated to liberated! The question that changed my life.

We have the procedures of achievement upside down. Generally, we come up with our to-do lists, our bucket lists, and our weekly schedules — all the stuff we want to have, get, accomplish, and experience outside of ourselves. All of those aspirations are being driven by an innate desire to feel a certain way.

How do you want to feel?

How do you want to feel when you wake up in the morning? How do you want to feel when you go to sleep at night? How do you want to feel when you come home from work? How do you want to feel when you look at your bank account? How do you want to feel when you kiss your love? How do you want to feel when you look at yourself in the mirror? How do you want to feel in your body right now?

These are the liberating questions that I never even knew I could ask myself. I knew that I wanted to feel good, but I didn’t know how to get there. I also knew that things needed to change in my life. I felt lost. Like no one knew what I was feeling. Like I was going through these things on my own.

My life wasn’t great. I had an okay job, a place to live, enough money to put food on the table, but something just wasn’t quite adding up. I felt like something was missing from my life. Purpose, direction, a plan. I needed guidance of some sort. I knew that there had to be more to my life than this and that what I was doing was not going to get me there. I didn’t know where to begin.

Enter The Desire Map, the book that changed my life. The Desire Map is a holistic approach to planning and living your life based on how you want to feel. It’s all about creating goals with soul. Getting to the heart of how you want to feel in every area of your life so that you can ultimately create and live the life of your dreams. The Desire Map process gets you out of your head and into your body. You discover your Core Desired Feelings. Making the journey feel the way that you want the destination to feel.

So what if, first, we got clear on how we actually wanted to feel in our life, and then we laid out our intentions? What if your most desired feelings consciously informed how you plan your day, your year, your career, your holidays — your life?

You know what will happen with that kind of inner clarity and outer action? You’ll feel the way you want to feel more often than not. Decisions will be easier to make: You’ll know what to say no to and what to say heck-yes to. You’ll be more optimistic, more open-hearted. It will be easier for you to return to your center in the midst of a challenge.
Are you ready to feel the way that you most want to feel?

Then join me for a special In-Person Desire Map Retreat here in Dallas on November 19th from 9am – 5pm. Because you are a Dallas Yoga Magazine reader, I want to give you the gift of 20% off when you register here. http://www.violaglink.com/dym/

Join a circle of souls just like you who are searching for confidence, purpose, clarity and joy. During our day together, you’ll have an opportunity to re-connect and re-discover your voice and truth through journaling and group discussions. This is a one-day workshop with compassionate straight-talk. We’ll hold space for one another and I’ll guide us through a Kundalini Yoga meditation to help us stay grounded and centered.

Together we get clear on what’s working and what’s not, what’s missing and what to let go of.

At the end of this one-day intensive, you’ll walk away with your Core Desired Feelings and how to use them to guide decisions in your career, your body, your creativity, your relationships, and your spirit.

You’ll get clear on what you want most out of life and have a plan to make it happen.

Let’s meet before the workshop! I’m hosting a FREE Virtual Workshop, Lunch & Soul: an Introduction to the Desire Map, on November 17 from noon to 1pm CST. You can sign up for it here. http://bit.ly/2yrt9dt
