Ever hit a little crossroads in life that makes you think twice about whether or not you're spending your days the way you would like to? Sometimes this comes all of a sudden after an unexpected loss, but this can also come in the form of a more pleasant surprise too.
So often we think of our goals in terms of accomplishments and titles... in other words, we think about what we would like to *have done* rather than what we would enjoy waking up to do again and again.
Here are a few ideas and exercises you can use to let your life better reflect your priorities:
✴️ Thinking about what your ideal 24 hours will look like. This helps you think about the day-to-day life you would love living, not just the surface of it.
✴️ Asking yourself what you would do if money were no obstacle. (Or time, or any other obstacle that interferes.) You never know when these obstacles may disappear in some way... best to be ready for that!
✴️ Draft your own obituary. I know this one sounds morbid and maybe it's not for everybody, but I find a lot of clarity comes from really-big-picture-thinking, like imagining what you want said about you when it's all said-and-done, and investigating if you're living your life in that direction.
✴️ Picture yourself in that climactic scene in the movie Soul and curate the moments that just make sense to you. The kinds that you know point you in the right direction.
Do you have any practices that help you find clarity?
