“The path you take to get there is indicative of how you will feel when you get there.” – Sharon Lipovsky
Sample Client Strategies to Build the Bridge to Your Vision
- More White Space (eliminate distractions, set boundaries with people around your time and service; set boundaries for yourself around time to do nothing and see what emerges)
- Build a Creative Practice (e.g. paint, write, draw circles, garden, journal reflections)
- Put Yourself First (say where you want to eat; decide how you want to spend your time; practice seeing what you want in small, daily ways so that you can build the muscle to see into bigger manifestations for yourself)
- Follow Your Energy (this will both help build strength and resilience and will allow you to practice discernment – an important skill in leading with vision. Some days Bridgerton reading is energized…other times it’s a distraction…learn how to tell the difference!)
Ways to Lead with Vision Right Now
- Do the dishes – and nothing else.
- Walk to walk – and nothing else.
- Identify eliminating distractions
- Write a short daily “notice without judgement” reflection on how your practices are going
- Consider a creative practice like the one described in the Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.
- Draw circles
- Have an accountability date with your partner (or other/s)
- Celebrate every win. Build momentum behind your subtle changes – start to build the new wish path.
