Читать книгу Cosmic Ordering in 7 Easy Steps: How to make life work for you - Carolyn Boyes - Страница 35

What you want to be in your future is not necessarily what you believe to be in your future now. So that you can see the gap between what you want and your current reality, take a look into the future: What do you believe your future will be like from the vantage point you have right now?

Ask yourself:

 What do I want to change about my future?

 What would make my life far more exciting?

 What would make me happier?

 What would make my life more adventurous?

 What would make my life more fun?

 What would make me feel fulfilled?

 What would make me feel joyous?

Write down any immediate thoughts that you have.

What will life be like when I am:

30

Example: I see myself as single, getting promoted in my career, living where I live currently. I want to get married, but when I look into my future I can’t see this yet.

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

40

Example: I see myself living somewhere different—I have a sense of countryside with animals around. I feel I am travelling a lot and having some adventures.

50

Example: I have a feeling that I am with a partner in a relationship, but I can’t see children even though I want them.

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

60

Example: I have a picture of me with a family, but I am not sure they are blood relatives—maybe stepchildren?

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

70

Example: I have a feeling that I have quite a few friends here, but I realise I’m concerned about money and feeling old—although I always hoped to be rich at 70. Maybe it is because my parents always worried about being poor when they were older?

80

Example: I have a feeling of being myself and doing something adventurous.

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________

90

Example: I realise I have no vision of my life currently past 80 because my parents died before this age. It means I want to change this so I have a future after 90.
