Show Notes: How to Envision Your Best Year Ever
Welcome to The Secrets of Supermom Show! In this episode, we dive into part two of our podcast series, How to Envision Your Best Year Ever. If you missed part one, make sure to catch Episode 213, where we explored uncovering “breadcrumbs” from your past year to help shape your vision for 2025. Head to secretsofsupermom.com/213 for the recap and notes.
Today, we’re shifting our focus from reflecting on the past to dreaming about the future with a powerful exercise called the “I Wish” activity. Let’s dive in!
Key Questions to Reflect On
Before starting the “I Wish” activity, take some time to ponder these thought-provoking questions:
- What would you do if you had no restrictions or responsibilities?
- Imagine waking up with a completely free day. How would you spend it? Who would you spend it with? Where would you go?
- Who are you in your wildest dreams?
- Picture yourself living your most amazing life. What are you doing? What makes you feel fulfilled?
- What compels you?
- What activities, dreams, or goals pull you forward and make you feel excited about life?
- What’s holding you back?
- If there were no financial, time, or societal constraints, what would you pursue?
- What are your true priorities?
- Separate the things you genuinely value from the tasks you feel obligated to do because of others’ expectations.
The “I Wish” Activity
Here’s how to complete this exercise:
- Grab a notebook, journal, or planner.
- Set a timer for 8 minutes.
- Write “I wish…” and complete the sentence as many times as possible without stopping. Don’t filter your thoughts or worry about what’s realistic.
- Examples:
- I wish to travel to Bali.
- I wish to spend more quality time with my kids.
- I wish to feel energized every morning.
- Examples:
- Once the timer goes off, read through your list and identify recurring themes. These could be:
- Travel and adventure
- Career and personal growth
- Health and fitness goals
- Family and relationship aspirations
This exercise helps uncover the desires and dreams that can inform your vision for the coming year.
What’s Next?
Next week, we’ll move from dreaming to vision casting, where we’ll transform your reflections and wishes into actionable goals for 2025. Don’t miss it!
