Re-vision
Over the past few years, during December, I've gotten into the practice of re-visioning what I want my life to look like in all areas: physical, material, emotional, spiritual, financial, professional, intellectual (did I get everything?). I've discovered - as many have before me - that if I can envision and write out what it is that my life looks like, many of those things come to be - even if I don't specifically write them out as goals.
What I've observed in doing this is:
- It's fascinating to look back at last year's writing and see what has actually come to pass - again, often without my even really concentrating on it. It really is a concrete reminder of how much has happened over the past year.
- Each year, I'm able to more fully visualize what I want my life to look like. This is a big personal accomplishment, because when I first started doing this, it was hard. I wasn't used to thinking in this way. I could barely write over a page. This year, I'm easily at four pages, and still working on it.
Give it a try, as this year wraps up and a new year opens up. Visualize. Imagine. What could your life look, sound, feel, taste like?
