Sheri here –
This is a great time of year to reflect on your vision for your future – your dream of what you want your life to look like in the year to come. Now is the time to set your intention, make a plan and dream big.
As we approach the New Year, I like to map out my goals for the next year to create a roadmap to my dreams.
What Happens When Dreams Take a Turn?
But this year we had a lot that upset our apple cart, so our dreams may have gone awry.
I don’t know about you, but about mid-March this year, my dreams, my goals and my routines all shifted. While I was accustomed to planning activities that involved jumping in my car and going somewhere – hither and yon – braving the LA freeway traffic, that came to an abrupt halt. Since then I think I’ve filled up my gas tank twice and before it was at least twice a month.
In all honesty, what I’ve come to realize is that I used busyness before to procrastinate and not do some of the things I’d wanted to do, needed to do to make my dreams come alive.
Sometimes You Have to Slow Down to Go Fast
The shutdown and stay at home period gave me time to fill differently. Time to try some new things that terrified me. Time to fill with new dreams, bigger dreams. Since COVID-19, I’ve put on webinars, challenges, speeches and reached out to people in ways I’d only imagined before (thank you, Zoom!).
Sure my actions shifted, but my dreams didn’t. I’m closer, farther along the road to my dreams than ever before. I never saw slowing down as a way of going faster and further. Sometimes you have to slow down to go fast to achieve your wildest dreams. Who knew?
How about you? Did your actions shift? Did your dreams shift as well? Maybe you don’t have a dream right now. This is the perfect time to revisit your dreams. The end of the year positions you to reflect back on the year, come to closure on the things that need closure, set new goals and hit the ground running toward your dreams come January 1.
Goals Are a Dream, a Vision, with a Plan
If you have found your vision is cloudy, then maybe you could use a boost. I have a do it yourself vision course bundle to craft or refine your vision and create your goals to move you closer to Your Next Great Chapter – your BIG dream. Join me!! Check it out here.
You deserve to do this for yourself. A little daydreaming never hurt – in fact, we need to dream our dreams before they become reality. Just saying! Give this gift to yourself – just click here now.
As you think about your year and your dreams – consider sharing some of your successes and even some of your misses in the comments below.
May your week be filled with blessings.
Until next time.
Ciao,
Sheri
P.S Be gentle with yourself as you consider your year and your dreams. This is a time for self-compassion and self-forgiveness. If you need someone to talk to about those things, set up a call with me right here and give yourself a break! Or, if a do it yourself vision course isn’t your thang, let’s talk here about how you can do it live.
