As humans we always have the capcity to live into a new possibility. Declaring a new possibility is one of our often forgotten freedoms. But so often we get sucked into the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy lives that we loose sight of any new possibilities.
Keeping our possibility in sight tends to integrate our life, make our living more conscious, vital and awake. When we keep new possibilities in sight, we shift into a mood from which it is easier to build a new future for ourselves and our loved ones.
Loosing sight of our possibility tends to fragment and dull our life, making our life feel more burdensome than it really is. We drift and aim to get by.
When I coach, one of the most powerful aspects of the coaching is helping the client to always keep their new possibility - a possibility that moves, touches, and inspires them - always in sight.
What possibility are you living into? You aren't limited to one. But it helps to have focus as you begin to work with this practice. As a guide to your reflection on this question, consider the following domains of life. What possibilities are you living into in each?
- Health and well-being
- Education
- Play and aesthetics
- Career and work
- Friends and family
- Community
- Spirituality
Do you want to loose weight or become stronger? Do you want to get a new degree or certificate? Do you want to enjoy nature more this year? Or perhaps to spend more time playing with your kids each week? Perhaps you want to transition to a new career or start a new coaching business? Or cultivate more community in your life?
We can declare new possibilities in any or all of these domains. How will you keep your new possibilities in sight? Post them as sticky notes to your computer or refrigerator? Set up a daily schedule of practices (e.g., yoga, tai chi, qigong, meditation) that will be a daily recommitment to making your new possibilities a reality? How will you return to your possibility when the inevitable busyness of your life takes over? How will you create the network of support you need to stay focused on making your possibilities a reality?
Love,
