I was so excited that I couldn\u2019t sleep. I wanted to be awake every second until the morning came. I didn\u2019t want to miss anything! But inevitably I\u2019d arrive at the Christmas tree the next morning, bleary-eyed and still feeling like I\u2019d missed something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My wanting mind had taken over and robbed me of being fully awake when it counted. And every year I\u2019d repeat the same pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This \u2018wanting mind\u2019 is still familiar to me as an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How about you? What are you yearning for? What keeps you up at night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanting mind is that embodied yearning for some outcome you deeply desire. Of course you want to write that book! Of course you want to land that job! Of course you want to find an intimate partner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the more you feel you don\u2019t have control over the things you want, the more they feel out of reach. And that\u2019s when your mind goes to more wanting, longing, rehearsing, yearning\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanting mind can sound like, \u201cIf only I were seen for who I am, then I\u2019d feel more confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf only I\u2019d get that position, then I\u2019d feel important.\u201d \u201cI could feel peace of mind if only this hadn\u2019t happened to me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These beliefs rest on the fallacy that the delicious feeling of deep satisfaction that everyone wants is somewhere \u2018out there\u2019. Worse, it feels perpetually unreachable because it\u2019s always just a little further ahead of where you are right now \u2013 no matter what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group single-article__cta--section has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"color:#2b2e34;background-color:#f5efea;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#2b2e34\">Yes, I\u2019m ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/contact\/i-help-you-grow-your-leadership\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#b65c45\">Let\u2019s get started!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-80x80.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-1320x1320.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-wanting-mind-shopping-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what the wanting mind does. Its job is not to deal with reality, but to create a picture of something we think is better. So we keep looking out for that missing piece, the one that will make everything feel ok. Wanting mind supposes that \u2018enough\u2019 couldn\u2019t possibly already be here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanting mind is tricky, too. It subtly and compellingly creates a narrative that our <a href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-Overcoming-Dissatisfaction.pdf\">deepest satisfaction <\/a>can only be answered by someone else, some other job, some other food, some other reality. And so the story goes. If reality is not enough, we are not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, we are always enough no matter who we are. Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to satisfy your wanting mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Know what\u2019s keeping you in wanting mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do I notice in my body when I focus on what I don\u2019t have?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat am I believing about the present moment?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat am I believing about my capacity to tolerate the present moment?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn what way may I be numbing or distracting myself from the present moment?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honour the wisdom in your wanting mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat am I yearning for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is my wanting mind telling me to find\/create for myself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s one step in that direction I\u2019m ready to take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat will help me remember to let go of the rest, again and again as needed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Know what keeps you in reality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow will I remember to practice gratitude at odd moments during the day \u2013 for anything?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do I need to build my tolerance for the present moment \u2013 however it is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is my intention for being deeply self-compassionate for whatever I\u2019m feeling or<br>thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat conscious actions do I want to take to feed my sense of agency?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>All these questions are meant for you.
