What Sets Your Soul on Fire?

So what does YOUR fulfilled life look like? 

My previous post talked about the importance of living your best life. But perhaps you read that and thought, well what does that mean? What does my best life look like? Or perhaps right now you are feeling in a rut? Does every day feel the same and isn’t filling your cup? Perhaps you need to shake things up but you aren’t sure how or what you actually need.
If so- STOP what you are doing right now! And follow these steps: 

  1. Grab a piece of paper and pen.
  2. Think to yourself, I have just been told I have 2 months to live.
  3. Close your eyes and let that really SOAK in. You have until December 3rd, 2022 and that’s IT! Not another Christmas, not another New Year, nada, (hopefully this isn’t causing permanent anxiety to set in). 
  4. Now, Visualize what the next two months look like. If you have perfect health up until that two month mark, what would you do? 
  5. Write it down. Write it ALL down. Don’t question yourself, don’t analyze, just let the thoughts flow and write. 
  6. Now take a few minutes to clear your mind. 
  7. Reflect back on your life up until this point and ask yourself these questions:
    • What are my most favorite memories?
    • When have I felt the most ALIVE?
    • What would I change about my past if I could? 
    • What would I love to DO again? 
  8. Start writing!
  9. Lastly, erase the two month deadline we previously worked with and now think to yourself, what do I want to accomplish in my life? Before death comes a knockin’, what do I want to know I achieved?
    • If you are drawing some blanks you can look at past photos of your LIFE and see which photos really stir up reactions in yourself; which ones make your mind race of how to DO it again? Which photos make you remember a time that set your soul on FIRE? 
    • You can also think of these categories to help you dream of goals to accomplish in each area of your life:
      • Professional
      • Physical Fitness 
      • Adventure: Hobbies/Activities/Trips
      • Relationships
      • Financial
      • Legacy
      • Creative
      • Character
      • Intellectual
      • Spiritual
  10. Start writing!

Hopefully from this exercise you were really able to DREAM and dream big, without limitations. Now go buy yourself a journal or notebook that you can transfer all of these dreams into this book. Moving forward I encourage you to look at this often, add to it frequently, and continue to dream big.  If you can turn it into a one page document to post in your office, or bathroom mirror to look at daily, that’s even better! I have mine in a composition book that I’ve carried around since March 2016. I’m happy to share photos of mine if it helps you create yours! Just message me today to request snapshots of it. 

Next post we’ll talk about how to make these dreams come true because what’s the point of them if you don’t take ACTION to achieve them?

Until then, I’d love to hear what some of your favorite dreams are? What in this list gave you the most excitement and really got your mind going? Share with us today via text, email or on social media!
