The Weekly Minute - Set Your Compass

Instructions for "Set Your Compass"

1. On waking in the morning, take a minute to ground yourself by taking three belly breaths.
2. Think about your values, what's important to you in life? — A helpful way to think about it may be to ask yourself what quality would you most like to be remembered for? Kindness? Tenacity? Generosity? Honesty?
3. Set your compass toward this for the coming day.
4. Every time you face a decision today, remember your quality, and let it be a guide for your choices and decisions.

You can either go through life unconsciously reacting to what comes, or consciously responding to what comes. When you consciously respond, you put yourself in a position of strength and control, regardless of how uncontrollable events may seem.
To consciously respond, you need to know the direction you want to go in, otherwise you will flounder from one day to the next, hoping things will work out. Know your reason and purpose in life and you will know what direction to take when you have choices to make—you will know what direction to set your compass toward.

If you have trouble finding your purpose, a therapy session can help. There are strategies to help you discover what your purpose is. Message me for more information.
