Most of us have goals of where we want to live in 1,3,5 + years. We also set goals physically of what we might want to accomplish. We have our health goals and we have our career goals. We might even set goals of how many children we want, where the kids will go to college, or that we would like to be in a serious relationship.
All of these aspirations and plans are fabulous; however in a recent conversation I had, it occurred to us that rarely to we consider where we want to be emotionally. Do we want to be at peace in our heart? Do we want to have alignment with our career, not just climbing the stairway to financial security, but feeling a certain balance along the journey?
Do we want our relationships to be at a specific level in understanding to support our belief systems about friendship and love?
How about the way we react to stress and environmental (as well as political) ups and downs? Even the stress which occurs when we are on a physical and health driven challenge can be out of where we might want to “be” emotionally during the challenge.
Consider mapping out where you want to “BE” in your mind and heart in the next 1,3,5 + years; then look at how it connects to where you want to be with all of your other goals!
