In order to know where we are going we need to know where we have been and where we are know. Focussing too much on the Past or the Future may cause you to forget where you are right now. Acknowledging your place on the journey is important because in every moment we have the opportunity to create ourselves as the person we wish to be.
The ideal place to do this exercise is on the beach where you can draw 3 huge circles but if that is not possible use three big sheets of paper and draw a circle in each one that is big enough to stand in. Label the first one ‘Past’ the next ‘Present’ and the third ‘Future’.
Now stand or sit in the Past circle. Consciously take yourself back in time.
• How does it feel to be here?
• What stories do I tell myself here?
• Who am I?
• What do I believe I deserve from life?
Next move to the Present circle.
• How does it feel to be here?
• What ‘is’ now? What do I have that I am grateful for?
• Standing here – what do you want to say to PastMe?
Next move to the Future circle.
• Who am I here?
• How does it feel to be here?
• Standing here – what do you want to say to PresentMe?
Acknowledging where you are on the Journey – what is the most important thing you need to DO now to honour your place on the Journey of life?
