This Friday I have a simple pondering practice for you to try out. It’s about sitting back and letting your mind roam way into the future. Think 20 years from now… what do you want to be doing? What do you want your life to be like? What would you have liked to have accomplished?
This practice comes from a goal-setting webinar I attended this week. I was reminded how useful it can be to think far into the future about what you want to make happen so that when planning in the shorter term you have a vision you can navigate towards.
Twenty-year goals don’t have to be specific, they can be as simple as your ideas for what you want your life and work (or retirement) to be like.
Long-term goals aren’t set in stone. They will evolve or even radically shift over time. This imagining exercise presents a great opportunity for discovering what is meaningful and important to you, without the pressure of having to make this manifest anytime soon!
Nothing like a summer long weekend for providing some space for dreaming about your future.
