Preparing for your BIG breakthrough
Preparing for a breakthrough is like preparing for a baby to be born. It requires preparation, it requires a whole body transformation on the inside and on the outside.
Having gone through many breakthroughs in my life and currently preparing for another one I wrote the Top 10 things that need to be in place so everything is aligned for a big breakthrough.
As you are reading through these 10 things, notice which one you need to focus on to prepare for your BIG breakthrough!
The Top 10 things you need for Your BIG Breakthrough
1. Desire
You have to want a breakthrough! Desire is the magical fuel that gives you the energy to go all the way when the opportunity presents itself.
2. Vision
You need to know what you want. Of course the exact details take shape as you breakthrough, but you need to have a vision for what you want.
3. Focus
You need focus to finely tune your spiritual muscles. Your vision will show you the direction you want to go and your focus will give you the strength to go there.
4. Awareness
This is an often overlooked gem. Awareness is that powerful force that allows you to be conscious of the subtleties of the moment and keep you open to the true possibilities.
5. Space
If you are clogged up with things from the past, you won’t have the space for a breakthrough. You need to consciously carve out the space for your dreams to take shape. This can take the form of a physical space, like an actual room, or it can mean time, allowing the space for new things to happen.
6. Let go
You will need to let go of all the things that don’t match your vision. This can mean letting go of a job that doesn’t suit you anymore, a relationship that holds you back, clothes that don’t represent who you want to be, and habits and behaviours that limit you. Letting go of the things that aren’t aligned with who you dream of being.
7. Burn your bridges
Oh, this is a toughy! Burning your bridges means you are no longer giving yourself the option of going back. You need to create situations where you can only move forward. When you do this, you are getting really really close to your BIG breakthrough!
8. Patience
When you want something to happen it is easy to get impatient, but your patience and trust in the process will relax your spiritual muscles and open the doors for your breakthrough.
9. Criteria
Make a list of the things that you need to have in place to be ready to go all the way. I call this my ‘Criteria’, it is like a checklist that I go through to make sure that every aspect of myself is ready, willing and able to go all the way.
10. GO!
When all the pieces are in place, an opportunity will present itself and it is your time to GO!

Thank you!! You reaffirmed that my recent release of a part time job to more fully support myself creatively was necessary. By letting go first I can fly with every muscle!

Talk about vision. That is such a clear & concise list. Exactly the kind of clarity I need right now to move onto the next level. Thank you so much Laura!

Love your list! I am definitely in the GO phase of my new project and what fun — all the pieces are lining up and falling into place so perfectly! XO, Katherine. (Great to see you last week!)

Love your list, Laura. And yep, the letting go when you are not sure what the path looks like yet is the critical thing.
Scary and exciting.

Laura,
You bring up a very interesting subject. Are breakthroughs routine or special? Do they occur only when you’re looking for them? Hmmm. Love to hear more about yours!
Hugs,
Linda
