If it's a while since you took stock of your life and are ready to progress then this blog is for you.
If you think that there may be reasons for holding back on moving forwards in your life then you may want to start there.
Is what is holding you back something big that you need and want to tackle or something small that you need and want to let go of then talking this through with a counsellor is a first step.
Once you feel ready to move forwards here is a helpful framework for charting what you want.
Research and experience shows that when we write down our goals we are more likely to achieve them.
In your journal dedicate 5 pages to your LIFE REVIEW LIST.
At the top of page 1 write 'I will BE' - for example, kind, free, helpful. Underneath this write down some first steps to make this happen for you.
At the top of page 2 write 'I will DO' - for example, exercise, let go. laugh. Underneath this write down some first steps to make this happen for you.
At the top of page 3 write 'I will GIVE' - for example, advice, time, understanding. Underneath this write down some steps to make this happen for you.
At the top of page 4 write 'I will HAVE' - for example, fun, interests, supportive friendships. Underneath this write down some steps to make this happen for you.
At the top of page 5 write 'I NEED' - for example, excitement, variety, risk, to focus on right now. Underneath this write down some steps to make this happen for you.
Drawing up your life list is motivating because it allows us to see what we really want as a unique individual and to take some initial steps that will make a difference and encourage us to keep moving forwards.
Please let me know how you get on with this exercise.
