If you have decided to change your lot in life and are ready to put in the work for your aspirations and goals, then it’s time to decide what those are. Your new ‘wants’ in life might be completely different than you may have had, say, 5 years ago... or exactly the same. Time coupled with any life obstacle can change around priorities.
Every few years, I do a little journal exercise where I write a pretend entry that is set 5 years or so in the future. This helps me think about where I want to be and what I hope to be doing by that time. Doing this moves my hopeful dreams into an obtainable reality and I gain confidence in myself to make it come true. When you do this, it is most important you write in the present tense, as if you are now living this life you are describing. This is a form of manifesting with intention and not just creating a list of wishes to collect dust. Always longing for things as though they feel unobtainable, makes it so. You have to believe it to be your and in time it will be.
Vision boards are also helpful in getting a clearer view of what you really want out of life. Making your goals physically visible everyday will help keep you focused on the right direction. This all applies to any form of manifesting, Law of Attraction, focused intention practices, etc. To me they are somewhat interchangeable when describing the powerful habit they form within you.
Mindful Minute:
- How happy are you with your life now?
- If nothing changes, what do you think life will look like 5 years from now?
- What would your ideal life look like in 5 years?
- What needs to change to make this reality?
- What are some first steps you can take to ignite this change?
