“Am I living the life I want to live? Am I being the sort of person I really want to be?…Imagine looking back over your life. What would make you feel that your life had been worthwhile? What would make you feel that your life had been wasted?” – Timothy Freke
Maybe imagine that you have all the time, resources, possibility in the world…zero limitations in any area…all the time, all the money, all the opportunity, all the access and connections you want and need, no limitations…(including internal self concept, physical or mental health issues, etc!)….
Do not confine yourself to what you consider to be realistic or reasonable…..
Yet also do not confine yourself to what we are socialised to consider success. Maybe instantly we think of all the trappings we associate in our programming with happiness. Yet true happiness comes from dwelling in states of wellness, love and compassion. Let your breath touch and soften your heart and let your heart’s eyes look into this vision.
How would you feel? Who would you be? How would you behave, move, speak, think, feel? What would you be doing? Who would be in your life? What would these relationships and your community feel like? What are your values? Think back to the opening qoute – what gives life value, meaning? What does it feel like to live this deeply? To be the person you want to be and feel you are sharing with others and the world what you want to give.
Write a vision statement for how this/you :
Looks
Feels (sensations)
Feels (emotions)
Moves you (posture, movement, behavior)
Communicates
Etc.
Draw it, dance it, imagine it, write and talk about it!
Maybe share it with a close friend so you can share a vision and also remind and guide each other.
Refer back to it sometimes to recalibrate.
Bisous,
Elise
