Best Possible Self – Describe your best possible self in 1 year’s time.
e.g “In 1 year’s time, I will be managing all the paid advertising in work and will be chilled as I’ve been practising yoga everyday. I’ll be sleeping well because my daughter will be sleeping well too!”

Letter of Compassion – Pretend your a friend (of yourself) and write a letter to yourself about your good points and strengths
e.g. Drew you are awesome because you’ve read more books than anyone else in Wrexham and listen to Joe Rogan’s podcasts. You’ve got a large skillset in terms of work and you’re great at coaching people as you’re patient.
Keep learning as it’s good for your character and brain and don’t listen to anyone who think you’re weird, just because you read studies & not tabloid newspapers! Be yourself, you are ace.

Gratitude

When journalling gratitude it’s good to say why you are grateful:

“Today I am grateful for my computer, it’s great because I can share my thoughts with my friends and a whole online community which makes me feel much better

I am grateful for the wealth of knowledge on Youtube, it’s great because I learn new skills all of the time

I am grateful for my body, because it allows me to do lots of amazing things from typing, writing to MMA”

 

 

In 2018, I’m hoping to get back to deadlifts and some Olympic lifts if yoga loosens my back off enough.

By 2019 I’m hoping to be enlightened.

 

 

Additional goal –

To do this visualisation every week:

 

and to focus on visualising on a positive outcome, in relation to anything that I’m irrationally worried about
