If you don’t know what you want how are you going to live the life you were meant to live? It is important to get clear about what you want. For many of us though, that is not always obvious.

If you are not sure about the path you are on or you are not content with some areas in your life, you need to get some direction.

Journal writing can really help with this. When we write, we are tapping into that special voice we all have within us: intuitive, wise, connected to the divine.

Tonight before bed, take a little time for yourself: take a bath, listen to some relaxing music, meditate, etc.

Then when you are centered, get your journal and ask that voice some questions:

1. What do I want to do? List as many active verbs that come to mind (example: teach, write, study, heal others, etc.)
2. Who do I want to be? List as many adjectives that come to mind (example: prosperous, generous, loving, hardworking, ethical, relaxed, forgiving, etc.)
3. Where do I want to go? List as many places as you can think of (Europe, the Napa Valley, Hawaii, etc.)
4. If failure was not possible, what would you jump at the chance of doing immediately?
5. If financial resources were limitless, how would you spend your time?
6. If you died, what would you want people to say about you at your funeral?

Set your journal aside on your bedside table. If after this writing session you still feel unsure about your life, take a deep breath. Ask for guidance. Go to sleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning your journal will be nearby when that voice is speaking and you are ready to listen…

Sweet dreams
