Summary

How do you feel about setting goals?

I’ve heard people say they feel energized, depressed, confused, terrified, pumped, ambivalent, lost...or all of the above. Here’s what I’ve realized: Our relationship to success is inside-out. When we make our New Year’s resolutions, bucket lists, big plans, or weekly to-dos, we’re hoping that when we "arrive" we’ll be fulfilled. Our hearts will swell as we cross the finish line, and then we can finally relax and savor our happiness. Except more often than not, that doesn’t happen. Even when we meet our objectives, we wonder if we aimed too low, or took too long, or if we could have done it better. And when we fall short, we come down on ourselves like a ton of bricks. So we make the next goal, hoping it’ll give us everything the last one didn’t.

It’s a self-defeating cycle that’s burning us out. How do we change it?

Here’s the whole cosmic, life-liberating revelation:

You’re not actually chasing the goal. You’re chasing the feeling that you hope attaining the goal will give you.

Every craving, aspiration, or goal you have - from what you eat, wear, and own, to all the things you want to create or do - is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. That’s it. And that’s where the Desire Map process starts. In The Desire Map Experience, I’ll share a process that you’ll use to transform the way you relate to every aspect of your life. It’s not about learning a new time-budgeting method, filling out a questionnaire, or making another list to stick on your fridge. Instead, you’ll get crystal clear about how you want to feel about everything you do. The Desire Map is holistic life planning. Here’s how it works:

  • We’ll uncover your core desired feelings - they’ll be your new North Star for living a soul-centered life
  • You’ll learn how to identify expectations you’ve picked up from your parents, the Joneses, the media, or the imaginary "they" you’re always trying to impress
  • We’ll use guided reflections to go deep into what your soul is trying to tell you through your core desired feelings
  • I’ll show you how to tune into critical signals from your instincts, your body, and the people around you
  • We’ll apply Desire Mapping to all the major areas of your life - livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality
  • You’ll learn how to create practical plans with daily, weekly, and monthly actions that will bring more and more of your core desired feelings into your life
  • I’ll be sharing poetry, stories, and inspirational truths to help you stay in touch with the sweetness of life

You’ll make this process your own. It’s not a one-size-fits-all deal. You’ll create your Desire Map in the way that lets your soul speak loud and clear in every day of your life.

Feeling good along the way to your goals doesn’t mean you won’t need to work your ass off - but when you do, you’ll do the work joyously. You’ll be creating goals that are life-affirming, nourishing, practical, forgiving, and true to who you are.

game changer; life is fuller now

buzzing and overflowing with new intentions or "goals with soul". beautifully poetic, read in a mesmerizing, lyrical tone, put simply, this book is outstanding.

loved every part. I listened to it entirely in less than a week and have two journals full of emotions I never even knew existed within.

please, if you want to live a life more present, more guided, more abundant....then purchase this little piece of magic.

inspirational words woven to make a soul overflowing with hope, positivity and gratitude.

love this author.

Thought provoking

The narrators voice is very soothing and the material is thought provoking and then there is loud jarring music in between the sections which is unnecessary and spoils the serenity of the experience

Inspirational

The process to reach your desired core feelings described in the book is very long (there are hundreds of questions), but it was quite satisfactory to finish. Towards the end I expected more concrete steps to turn the desire into reality, but still it's an inspirational read and and interesting heart to heart with self if you really go through it. I love Danielle's poetic and allenconpasing writing, and her voice and narration are perfect for this book.

Fire desire

Amazing book, if you are interested in finding out what lies behind your goals, why you set them, what drives you so this is for you. And the narrator's voice is like a music to your ears 😍 loved it!

Practical guide to mapping out our life goals

A very, very easy to consume approach to building out your life goals.

The layout and format is good, and the narrator had an easy to listen to, passionate voice that pulled you in further.

I do now feel however, this activity does need to be yearly, and for that, I'll likely get the physical book to create foot notes etc.

If you're someone who has an interest in getting practical goals lined up for yourself, this book is a very much needed, and powerful tool.

I look forward to reading & listening to it again next year.

desire mapping is a process…

and I will continue with a review of this process as a practice on an annual basis. That’s how much value I got out of desire mapping. The first round was not easy but I find the process essential for achieving results. It’s not about achieving goals and attaining things but how I want to feel. This ultimately creates the results.

Made me feel happy but put off by author's dishonesty

This is a good book and it helps you clarify your goals and it does raise happiness levels, if you like the law of attraction. But the author did put me off the book slightly and I started to dislike her when she tried to distance her method from the law of attraction and make out her method is new and unique. It is not. The law of attraction is not and has never been about envisioning 'things'. It has always been about feeling the emotion you get from having things or circumstances that you want. This book is good and a nice LOA refresher with some nice techniques. I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if the author had not felt such scarcity that she had to lie and make out she'd thought up something new. Do read this. It's well worth a listen, but skip over the bits where she compares it with LOA.
