What kind of life could you be living, other than the one you are living right now? When you drift off into a daydream, what do you imagine for yourself as another possible existence? If you knew that you couldn't fail what else would you be doing? How often do you think about living a different life? Would you change your job, your partner, your house, your image, your outlook, your thinking?
I ask some of my coaching clients to identify at least 5 imaginary lives that they might be living. It is taken from a great book called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. It is designed to unlock creativity in thinking. So if for example you daydream about being a racing driver, a champion figure skater or a sculptor, then I urge you to engage in at least 1 activity that will give you an authentic experience of what life might be like doing your chosen thing. So if you would secretly like to be racing around the track at Silverstone, why not take some time to do a few circuits of the track just for fun?
Often people discover that when they take the first steps into an experience that has, up until now, been a fantasy, the 'doing' part shifts something meaningful and brings their dream a step closer to reality. There may be some things that you try and discover that it really isn't you. You need to do a little 'fantasy shopping' before you find something that fits. What can you do before the year is out that will allow you to discover something new about yourself?
