Crafting your next story.

Instructions from video:

1. Get a sheet of paper. On it, list five things you would do if you knew you would not fail.

2. Choose one thing on that list that, right now, feels most compelling. Which one are you drawn to?

3. Now either flip the sheet over or get a different sheet of paper. Fold the paper into thirds, like you are folding a letter to put in an envelope.

4. On the left third, draw an image(s) of what you want to do, the thing you want to bring into your life, the thing you want to be different.

5. On the upper part of the middle section, draw an image(s) of what the obstacles are in your way. What’s holding you back?

6. On the lower part of the middle section, draw an image(s) of what needs to happen in order to overcome those obstacles.

7. On the final third, draw an image(s) of what it will be like when it’s done, when you’ve realized your dream/goal, when the change has happened.

8. Now go back to each section and write a one-sentence description of each of the four sections. For example, the sentences could be as simple as, “I want to do/be…” “The obstacles in my way are…” “In order to get past these, I must…” “Then I will be/feel/do…”

9. Then add one concluding sentence. You should now have a five-sentence vision story.
