4.
Envision.
​
Speaking from your internal self, rather than the external self:
​
If there were no limitations, how do you envision a life that makes you feel alive? Thriving? Joyful?
​
Write down specifics.
​
If I were to override some of the obstacles, what might I need to believe about life in order to do so?
​
​
6.
Fall Down. Get curious. Get back up. Look around. Breathe.
​
Know that overwhelm/stress will come again. The secret is knowing. So when you find you're holding your breath... You breathe again.
​
Then, you take a Mindful step in the direction you want to go.
Breathe. Step. Fall. Breathe. Step.
​
Remind yourself of a time that you got back up again.
​
Rinse and Repeat.
