Here is a practice that can be used to clarify and set goals that are personally meaningful and energising.
Write a Letter from the Future (eg 3, 5, 10 years from now) – in this letter write from your Future Self to your Present Self. Write about how you are living a fulfilling, satisfying, flourishing life – describe what you are … doing … thinking … feeling … and describe your life situation and circumstances. In this letter describe what you did to create the fulfilling life you are now living. Discuss the steps you took. Share the lessons you learnt along the way. Spend at least 20minutes doing this and free to add to this letter over a series of days and weeks.
Did you choose to try this yourself? If you did, what happened for you? What did you discover?
In coming posts I will share other Reach for the Stars practices.
