Ep 161: Building a Vision

Published: Dec. 21, 2021, 8 a.m.

b"This episode is targeted at you having a vision of a future life that is beautiful and rewarding. Seeing it clearly. And not being embarrassed about going through that process. If you \\u2013 like me, are often too embarrassed to take on practices like this, then I want to call that out. How silly is that, right? If that\\u2019s one thing that we can all put down at the end of this year \\u2013 for good. Never be too embarrassed to try something out. To invest in it. To mean it. It\\u2019s wasted energy. Feeling silly held me back from so much. But no longer! I think allowing your mind to wander and paint pretty pictures of different futures is so instrumental in seeing the ratio you want to create in your current schedule.\\nIn order to see a life that will make us happier, we have to be able to think outside our sphere, and our routine. Which can be challenging! As we head into the end of the year and toward the new year, I think one really important step is getting clear about what you want. I don\\u2019t mean making a vision board \\u2013 unless that is something you enjoy doing that you find resonates with you \\u2013 then by all means go for it!\\nI have a vision of being in the UK for a month, and the way my routine dictates my life, that will not come about unless I really get into the reflection and action stage of that dream.\\nThe reason for this is I remember early on in my self-help beginnings I was kind of tentative about investing in the guidance given, specifically when it required I dream big. Like I was still \\u201con the outside\\u201d of the genre and poking fun at it, deciding how much of it I believed and how much I thought was clich\\xe9 horse doodoo. And now what I would consider well along the path of my self-help dive, I think one thing that is very important if you are growing and building toward something \\u2013is being able to see a life you want. I think that can be difficult especially when you are limited by a routine or feeling stuck.\\nIt's also something that feels a little \\u201cfluffy\\u201d like it\\u2019s a waste of time. So this is an episode that makes a case for why this is important and also very powerful. And at the end we are going to go through some actual exercises to start to ideate around the life you want.\\nSending you so much love and if you are in search of additional content, head to Patreon.com/SarahMayB\\n\\xa0\\nTo make a donation and to see more of my work, head to YayWithMe.com\\n\\xa0\\nXo!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
