Visualize your future

I am listening to this web site: http://www.lime.com/meditation_room. Specifically, the “forest room”, its got birds and bugs and wind. It makes me think of sunshine and feeling the warmth on my skin and being outside. I love the woods. I really want our next house to have enough property that I get a sense of woods in our back yard.

I am visualizing what I want – to be outside hiking with my family, enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. Feeling energetic and strong.

To that end, I looked at the little pocket calendar in my wallet, I marked some vacations etc. I knew were going on, and I wrote myself a note on a sticky and put it in there to remind me: Only 1 SCA event per month, 1 work at home weekend every month (crafty stuff or stuff for the house – whatever), 1 family getaway every other month. See? That still leaves me one or two weekends I can be flexible with! If I could hit that schedule more often than not, I think I’d feel a lot more relaxed.

(The “water room” is also really nice. I have been enjoying these at work when music just isn’t cutting it.)

I’ve made a decision. No one is going to hand me the life I want. The things I want are within my grasp. I don’t want a big house or a new car – I want time with my family, I want to do fun things with them. I want to spend time outside and enjoy hiking and biking and laughing. I can do those things. I can have those things. If I change my mindset.
