RECOVER HOMEWORK
Making a Roadmap For Your Future
What do you want out of life? Most of us ask this question often but we rarely sit down and get specific about the answer. If YOU don’t know what you want, how do you expect the Universe or any other person on the planet to know what you want? You must be able to visualize and verbalize all of the desires you have in your head. You have thought about what you want for long enough. Time to write it down. Or create a vision board or collage or write a song or paint a painting – ANYTHING that will get what you want out of your head and into the world.
Take the time to consider the following:
1. Eliminate what you don’t want • If you were buying a house, you would eliminate certain neighborhoods or home styles. If you wanted to move to a different city, you would have a list of cities that you wouldn’t even consider. • Eliminate what you don’t want or care about in your life. Be as specific as possible. • Start with things in your life that no longer serve you. Jobs, people, attitudes, emotions, obligations. Anything that is an obstacle to you moving forward. 2. Make a list of what you DO want – be specific • Using the house example, you might want a ranch or to live in the country vs. the city. How many bedrooms and bathrooms, size of lot, completely done or a fixer-upper? • Think about what you want in these terms. If you are dreaming big, how big? What does that look like? What resources will you need? What resources do you already have? Where will it be? Who will you be working with? 3. Use your senses to bring it to life • What does your dream look like, smell like, sound like, taste like and feel like • Bring all of your senses into your process. How do you see yourself in the movie of your life? What are people saying to you? What are you hearing? Smelling? Tasting? Touching? Be as specific as possible. 4. Understand your reality • Who/what/why/where/when/how – what will it take to get you there? Where are you starting from? What will you need? • Imagine you are packing for the vacation of a lifetime and it will take a year. What will you need to complete the journey? Who will be coming with you? Who won’t be coming with you? Who do you need to come with you? • Do you need to learn new skills? What other resources will you need? • Start with where you ARE, not where you want to be
