For many years, I kept a card that read: shoot for the moon, even when you miss, you will land among the stars. I have always thought these are beautiful words to live by. And I will always support others who are reaching for their luminaries.
One lunar cycle passes quickly and even twelve go by so much faster than you ever expected they would. Despite my natural optimism, I do not believe that the changes I wish to see in my life will all happen within one year. What I do believe is that it helps to know what you are aiming for. And why would that not be the moon?
So let’s give it a try. Let’s visualise life at its lightest and brightest. And to begin with, let’s start with how that feels. I am sat on the sofa as I write this. I focus my attention on my breath and bring my awareness within. I breathe towards my heart, my diaphragm, my belly. I invite the most positive feelings I can possible imagine. I smile. I can feel my shoulders drop. I feel good. Relieved. Relaxed. Grounded. Curious. Excited. Light. I am looking forward to the future. I am happy to be here. I feel joyful. I am feeling full of love.
Anything is possible and all is well.
Now, as I am feeling this energised and delighted, what does my life look like? What about my assets, resources and self-worth?
What I picture, is a life where my home and studio are both in the same place. It is clear, warm and light in there. I divide my time evenly between writing and painting at home and working with other people in their workplace or school. My work is to support them as they go through a process of change and transformation, either on a personal level or as an organisation.
I also picture myself as having made it through my own transformation process. I no longer feel the need to be hyper alert, to second guess everything, brace for an attack. That has all passed. I have healed the wounds, I speak openly about the scars to help others and I am feeling grounded, safe and well. I move through the world with ease and I feel comfortable and relaxed in the presence of other women, whether I see their pictures somewhere or meet them in person in the real world.
My financial situation has improved and is healthier than ever before. I no longer need to fall back on others to support me financially. The debts have been cleared and I am putting money aside so I can keep living well as I get older and might be less able or inclined to work. I have the freedom to travel, to be generous to those I love and to charities I choose to support.
