Staying in our IKIGAI, or being close to our life path and best possible destiny, means staying close to our dreams and vision for our life.
As we hit the half way mark this year, it's a great time to look back at your vision board (or document, list, artwork etc depending on your creative application of this).
I do a relatively elaborate vision board at the turning point of each year as it feeds me creatively and helps me map the year out in the organic parts of my mind. From there it evolves into priorities, lists, calendar reminders, actions, projects and events etc.
Checking back in, feeding new light, data, focus and energy into our vision is a key aspect of staying in an active relationship to our dreams and vision for ourselves.
Mines on a black board this year and it was a shade of grey by May, needing a good dust off. Then some new light shone on it, some water, some care. Sometimes I must actually add material but usually, there is far more than enough to work on, relate to and engage in in terms of content.
It's often unexpected and surprising what happens, but looking back it all makes sense and was there all along. So many big themes this year that are unfolding in the ways that are supporting my growth and truth as a human being. Not all easy, but no good growth material ever is.
I am still in the year of my beloved mother's passing, combined with the last year of my son at home and school. Recently I left my role of eleven years at the foundation and have to allow something I built with great passion, care and tenderness to grow in new ways without me close by now. Trusting it was the right timing. Many things to let go of and spaces to fill.
So many in the world are grappling with loss and change in these complex times. This is one of the tools that I find I can really lean into as a resource for myself during a year, which is why I place so much focus on it. What a joy its creation and unfolding always is, especially that final moment when I know it's Done!

Do you work with a vision setting process and how does it support you?
