Friday Features - From Fear to Freedom: Steps to Achieve Your Dreams in 2025

Heather Masters: 00:00:00

Welcome to Friday Features.

Heather Masters: 00:00:02

I'm Heather Masters and over the last couple of weeks, I've been looking at clearing and getting clarity around your life.

Heather Masters: 00:00:12

So clearing those blocks, clearing the emotional baggage, clearing the environment around you that might be blocking you.

Heather Masters: 00:00:21

And we've gone through some tips about clearing and this week we've been focusing on clarity.

Heather Masters: 00:00:28

How do you gain clarity around what you want?

Heather Masters: 00:00:31

How do you gain clarity about where you are so that it's much easier to decide your way forward?

Heather Masters: 00:00:39

And today I want to do a bit of a summary of how they work together.

Heather Masters: 00:00:45

I'm going to explore how releasing fear can empower you to create a future designed by your own desires and intentions, creating what you want.

Heather Masters: 00:00:57

t goals or set intentions for: 2025

Heather Masters: 00:01:13

So we've also always, we've also gone through identifying what you want and we've touched on values and your core values and your identity.

Heather Masters: 00:01:30

Understanding those are essential because they guide your decision.

Heather Masters: 00:01:35

essential before you go into: 2025

Heather Masters: 00:01:44

Because I've mentioned in previous videos, it's about knowing who you think you are now and who the real you is inside, as well as identifying that version of you who can create what you want.

Heather Masters: 00:02:00

Because if you were already being that version, you'd already have what you want in your life.

Heather Masters: 00:02:06

So it's about really getting clear on that and then setting intentions in alignment with your future self, if you like, the one you want to step into.

Heather Masters: 00:02:20

And I, I believe personally that that version of you is already there.

Heather Masters: 00:02:26

setting those intentions for: 2025

Heather Masters: 00:02:41

And use those intentions then as your North Star, that guide you through the chaos of everyday life, of the shifts that happen out of the blue, which seem to be happening more at the moment.

Heather Masters: 00:02:56

Now, fear can be one of the major things that hold us back, and I haven't really touched on that in too much detail.

Heather Masters: 00:03:06

Fear can be paralyzing.

Heather Masters: 00:03:08

It can put us in freeze mode and hold us back from stepping up and pursuing what we really want.

Heather Masters: 00:03:16

We, we put ourselves in a box of limitation around where we think we can actually get to.

Heather Masters: 00:03:24

So acknowledging your fears, especially as we come towards the end of the air, really sitting down, taking some time out, switching off your phone, switching off social media, and just writing down what scares you, what what's blocking you.

Heather Masters: 00:03:42

And recognizing those fears is, you know, can be the first step to overcoming them because we can't overcome what we don't acknowledge.

Heather Masters: 00:03:52

And we've already talked a little bit about transforming your mindset and I've gone through some techniques over the last week around how you can do that and to shift from a fear based perspective to one of possibility and opportunity and to begin living like you've never lived before.

Heather Masters: 00:04:12

Really, really stepping into that version of yourself who is living life to the full, irrespective of what's happening around you.

Heather Masters: 00:04:21

That's the importance of releasing those fears.

Heather Masters: 00:04:25

Because those fears block us even from seeing the possibilities that may be right in front of us, those opportunities that turn up every day.

Heather Masters: 00:04:36

But because we've got those fear glasses on, we don't see what's there for us.

Heather Masters: 00:04:42

So clearing fear from your life by, as I say, journaling acknowledging those fears and then asking yourself how real those fears are, how likely they are to occur, and what's the opposite we.

Heather Masters: 00:05:00

I talked about reframing.

Heather Masters: 00:05:03

If you listen to my podcast yesterday, I talked about using reframing as a way of moving past fears and moving past limiting beliefs.

Heather Masters: 00:05:12

So how can you turn that fear into an opportunity?

Heather Masters: 00:05:16

What is the lesson it's teaching you?

Heather Masters: 00:05:18

What is the opportunity that's there that you may not have seen yet because you haven't taken a moment to look at what you're learning, what's beyond the fear, what you can move through to out of your comfort zone, what's beyond your comfort zone, what are the possibilities that maybe you haven't seen before?

Heather Masters: 00:05:39

And next week I'm going to be focusing on creating your future.

Heather Masters: 00:05:44

So we're moving into the creation part.

Heather Masters: 00:05:49

And once you've got clarity, once you feel fearless, once you've released a lot of the emotional blocks, then you're ready to create your future.

Heather Masters: 00:06:02

You're ready to set those goals, you're ready to create that vision that you can truly step into.

Heather Masters: 00:06:08

And can you imagine what your ideal life looks like and what steps you need to take to get there?

Heather Masters: 00:06:16

So that's something that we're going to focus on next week and we're going to hopefully then make a commitment to change, to decide that you're going to take actions towards that vision, towards that goal next year.

Heather Masters: 00:06:34

Commitment is vital for transformation.

Heather Masters: 00:06:37

And I mean all in full desired commitment, not maybes, not.

Heather Masters: 00:06:43

I'm going to try.

Heather Masters: 00:06:45

Trying.

Heather Masters: 00:06:46

There is no try, remember?

Heather Masters: 00:06:48

So some practical techniques that you can use over the Weekend before we get into the creation to clear out those beliefs and set new intentions, I'm always mentioning journaling.

Heather Masters: 00:07:01

My journaling course is the link is in the show notes and in the comments below.

Heather Masters: 00:07:10

And you can use journaling to write about your fears and desires and as I say, use the process to maybe write down a fear, reframe it, and use some evidence in the third column that proves that that fear is unfounded.

Heather Masters: 00:07:28

If you can do that, spend a few minutes each day visualizing what you really want.

Heather Masters: 00:07:34

And if you like, digging deep into the visualization so you might feel, you know, I really want a car, but what's the purpose?

Heather Masters: 00:07:43

Of what?

Heather Masters: 00:07:44

Of wanting a car.

Heather Masters: 00:07:45

Why is the car important?

Heather Masters: 00:07:48

And if it's about getting from A to B or freedom, you know, maybe the freedom part is, is the real important thing.

Heather Masters: 00:07:57

And recognizing the emotion about having that car can be important.

Heather Masters: 00:08:03

So it gives you that feeling of freedom, that feeling of being able to take control of your own, transport whatever it is for you and really tune into what's beneath, not just the I want a car, but what's the emotion, what's the beneath, the reason for that.

Heather Masters: 00:08:22

And you can create some positive affirmations that help you reinforce your commitment to change in clarity.

Heather Masters: 00:08:29

So before you even get to: 2025

Heather Masters: 00:08:53

,: 2025

Heather Masters: 00:09:15

And that as a journaling exercise and putting yourself in the shoes, actually stepping into that future version of yourself, looking through your own eyes, seeing what you feeling what you feel, hearing what you hear again, using all those five senses to write that letter back to your younger self now.

Heather Masters: 00:09:36

And as I wrap up today's session, I'm going to invite you to take part in an upcoming program, New Life by Design.

Heather Masters: 00:09:47

It incorporates various techniques from nlp, neurolinguistic programming, hypnosis, a lot of intuitive techniques that help you clear what's holding you back and embrace your true potential.

Heather Masters: 00:10:05

And it's over a three month period.

Heather Masters: 00:10:09

You can do it faster, but the idea is that you really go deep on clearing all of those limitations from your life.

Heather Masters: 00:10:19

And then you go deep on getting really clear about what it is you want for your life.

Heather Masters: 00:10:24

You remove all the shoulds, all the wants, all the tries, and actually get to the essence of what it is for you and your unique self that you want for your life going forward.

Heather Masters: 00:10:37

And I think it's a interesting time around the world and probably a really good time to do this reflection.

Heather Masters: 00:10:45

And then in the third section, we work with creation and we work with a lot of woo to create the life of your dreams, your new life by design.

Heather Masters: 00:10:57

So I'm going to put the link again in the description and in the notes and that's an option for you to look at.

Heather Masters: 00:11:05

And it's on a very special offer because it's.

Heather Masters: 00:11:09

It's something I've done before, but I haven't done it for a few years and I'm including a lot more tools and techniques to help you move forward.

Heather Masters: 00:11:18

So it's on a very special offer at the moment as a founding offer.

Heather Masters: 00:11:22

So thank you for joining me today.

Heather Masters: 00:11:24

And remember that clarity and clearing all come from within.

Heather Masters: 00:11:30

It's not something you get from outside of yourself.

Heather Masters: 00:11:33

And releasing fears and releasing those emotions can open the door to endless possibilities and help you see the opportunities that are already present in your life.

Heather Masters: 00:11:43

And I'm here to support you on this journey.

Heather Masters: 00:11:46
