Hi there!
In order to complete this journey the way you envisioned be sure of the following:
1) Are you clear on what you wanted to achieve? — Review first notes, reflect on your goals and the mental imaging you have done throughout…
2) Have you done all you can to achieve your goals? — Again, review your action plan and check off what was done and commit to doing the rest over the next few days.
3) Was accountability part of your weekly routine? If yes, Fabulous. If no, you have time — there is always time, as long you have breath to have another chance… 🙂 — to be accountable for all that was done and not done.
4) For anything left undone or for anyway you fell short, have you forgiven your self? If yes, fabulous! If no, do so. (Forgiveness exercise link is below.)
5) Are you still passionate about the goal you started with — or has it evolved? Flexibility is fine…decide how you’d like to end this 21-day journey and make it happen. Just check your passion – if you’ve lost it, find it. Reflect, write, share…dig, until you are tapping into your passion once again.
Also, do the daily exercises (action steps for achieving goal, forgiveness and relaxation/imagination) as usual:
1) Spend at least 30 minutes on specific action steps connected to your goal. If you can invest more time, do so. You are working on the third benchmark – due to be completed by Wednesday June 8th
2) Do the daily forgiveness ritual to remain accountable. Doing this exercise daily will allow you to start each day with a clean slate and with all the energy, focus and lightness you need to achieve your goals at the highest level possible.
3) Relaxation/imagination exercise – [additional information is here about why this is important]
A) Spend 15 minutes today in a relaxed – super relaxed and comfortable chair or position. Get your mind to be as empty as possible…using deep breathing as your tool.
► Deep diaphragmatic breathing is what you want. Filling your diaphragm as you to breathe in more oxygen will expand your stomach area; so with hand on tummy you should be able to tell instantly whether your breathing is deep enough. If your stomach expands (pushes out against your hand) you’re good, if your chest expands and/or your shoulder rises, you’re breathing shallow and will not gain the relaxing benefits of deep breathing
► Visualize your muscle groups from bottom to top, tightening and releasing a few times and then relaxing into a calm stillness.
B) In this relaxed position, after a few minutes of controlled deep breathing, sit peacefully for as long as you can up to about 15 minutes.
C) Then immediately following this relaxations session, venture into some imagination playtime.
► Allow your imagination to visualize your optimistic state of mind working for you as you see yourself producing more of what you intend to produce more of each day on this journey…writing, helping, sales, studying, researching, coaching, speaking, building, bonding…whatever your goal is, imagine your optimistic self in a state of blissful productivity. Keep this ‘movie’ in your mind going, filling in all the details you can inject and keeping it inspired, light and entertaining. See yourself taking the actual steps needed to achieve the specific daily goal you have for today. See yourself taking these steps again and again. Pause the movie a few times and insert a few deep breaths to be sure you remain relaxed.
► DAILY— add some scenes to your personal movie based on the specific message or suggested activity of the day.
Wishing you an abundance of peace, joy and productivity,
♥~
