It’s time to visualize the life you want to live.
Early this morning at around 4:45am I was wide awake and I kept thinking about what the life looks like that I want to be living. First of all, am I currently living it? Is it big enough? Is it small enough? Is it full enough of the things I want and empty enough of the things I don’t need?
What can we do to get to the place where it’s as close as we can get to perfect – for – you.
It’s not easy, that’s for sure.
One of the things that has been the most helpful to me is visualization. Really taking the time to focus on what I want it to look like. A dream board is one way to do this. Either a physical board you put together with images that resonate with you, or with our awesome technology, a visual board ( something like Pinterest ) can be helpful. Think of spaces, of people, of things, of the environment you want to be surrounded by. What does it look like and what does it feel like to you.
Sometimes we visit a place that just feels right. I felt that way when we road tripped to that cabin in North Carolina last summer. As soon as I saw the pictures I knew it had some fraction of what I want my future to look like. Whether it was the old cabin, the beat up claw foot tub, the outdoor screened in porch or the big farm house sink – it just felt right.
The same goes for whatever it is that you want. If it’s a baby, it’s a baby. It might be a wedding, a house, a trip, a person, your own business or moving to a new city or country. Don’t deny yourself the awesome ability to visualize what that looks like for you.
Think about it.
Meditate on it.
Visualize what it feels like for you.
Find something that helps to remind you everyday that it is what you want. I posted the mantra I said for a long time on Instagram this morning. I found it incredibly helpful to say it to myself every day on this journey. Use it if it works for you, if not, it might be a picture or a song that helps to remind you of where you want to be. Either way, give yourself the time and the space to really see what it is you want so that you start to know with all your heart that you will get there one day.
