Vision ‘24: Step One: Know Yourself
“Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.”
- Dolly Parton”
Finding out who you are is a fun and great discovery. It’s the most important thing you’ll ever do. When you really know yourself and understand your needs you can be truly happy down to the depths of your soul. You’re not here to be a supporting character in someone else’s show; you’re here to have an experience of heart-filled conscious love, abundance, and growth. Be the author of your own life story.
If you aren’t sure what you need, what you value, or why you’re here, anything will do to fill the space. What you’ll have after this exploration will be your reference point anytime you go off-course or feel inner conflict. Becoming clear on what is important to you, why you make the choices you do and what drives your actions will help you write the vision for your future.
The first step in understanding yourself begins with establishing three foundational parts: your values, your vision, and your boundaries. These three parts build upon each other and will stack, like building a pyramid.
The first step is defining your values. A values list is your moral code. Internal conflict arises when there is a lack of harmony between what you value and how you behave. It is vital to be consistent in living in alignment with your morals in all the areas of your life.
Second, your vision. Justin Michael Williams outlined 5 “life zones” in his book “Stay Woke” that I absolutely love to use too. The 5 life zones are:
1. WORK AND CAREER
2. CREATIVITY, PASSION PROJECTS OR CAUSES, AND HOBBIES
3. PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING
4. RELATIONSHIPS (LOVE, FAMILY, FRIENDS)
5. MONEY MATTERS
Make a list or a vision board (or both) for each of these areas and define what you want them to look like just one year from now. I’m big on the power of journaling this exercise too, because writing things down is tapping into another source of flow. Don’t aim low - really be honest with just how much or how big your dreams are and ask for what it is you really want. The universe moves energy where we put our attention and intention.
Third, your boundaries. There are two kinds of boundaries here: the ones that affect the actions of yourself and others, and the energetic boundaries that protect your emotional self. We all have likes, dislikes, and preferences, but you have to be really clear on what you are willing to compromise and what is in direct conflict with your values and your vision. Have you considered what your deal breakers are?
This work is a glimpse of what we’ll do during the Sacred Woman Collective “Soul Fire” workshop on January 20, 2024. We will gather in Scottsdale, AZ at an incredible healing center complete with Himalayan salt room and walking labyrinth, among many other grounding and amazing delights. We’ll go into more detail on these steps to help you create your own unique vision for your life with all of the necessary tools to manifest the life you so dream of, full of bliss, sacred practices, self-care and healing energy every day. We will also finish the day with a sacred women’s circle and singing bowl sound bath you can fully relax into to balance your chakras and cleanse your aura.
