It’s not enough to “know”your vision. Making it happen is something else! And I promised I’d share a few weeks ago didn’t I? OK so let’s talk about a tradition we have in our home that has allowed our vision to come to life.
New Year’s Eve is a lock down in our home! We have a tradition, my husband starts buying growers Champagne in October so that we have plenty to drink over the holiday. I cook filet mignon, and shuck a ton of Dungeoness crab with butter and lemon. We feast and drink amazing champagne!
That night though is also committed to our vision, goals, and values. Separately, we go through magazines and books and think about what is the next level vision of our lives. Then once we feel complete individually, we share it with each other and have a conversation about how that will align as a family.
Then we create a family vision board. Not uncommon from what you might have seen other people do. Lastly though, we pick a value that we will live by throughout the year. This value is how we will make decisions towards achieving our vision. It is a daily guiding principle that ensures that we are thinking about that vision and aligning our choices to it every day.
After sharing this with many clients over the years, they’ve gone back to their lives and children and created a similar tradition and vision activity. (OK, maybe not Champagne with the kids, but you get what I mean! LOL) They have reported that they feel more connected, grounded, and aligned to what they really want in their lives.
SoMe: A powerful vision is tied to a guiding value that creates conscious change.
