A clear life vision plan may support you in life in multiple ways. It may help foster resilience and well-being across life areas.
When thinking of a life vision, structuring a “plan” is not to avoid ebbs and flows in life. It’s more to garner factors such as purpose and core values. Then, leverage those fundamental factors when times to adapt or shift priorities may arise.
Ultimately, cultivating the distinct intersections of your strengths, character, and values into a life vision plan is a way to leverage your personal brilliance in relevant ways. It may also help tap into overall motivation and a sense of purpose in life.
So, how are the things that make you brilliant and a clear life vision plan linked?
At the root of planning, there can be relevant links between verbalizing, writing things down, and arranging ideas into a structured format with achievements, successes, and wins in life (both big and small).
Knowing yourself well, such as strengths, skills, limitations, and core values, can help inform the plan. Also, it can help direct a life vision that is more clear and strikes a good balance between realistic and aspirational.
As this Conscious Magazine article on vision also points out, a life vision can also help inform how you spend your time and the habits you form (or those you habits may wish to change). It’s a little like putting substance behind your goals and structuring your actions in life to be more supportive.
What things contribute to a clear life vision plan?
The life vision plan may take on different formats or structures. It may include primary statements to reflect the vision, drafts of goals and priorities, and other structural aspects. Yet, it may also include motivational quotes, images, or other less tangible components.
At a primary level, a clear life vision plan will reflect what you strive for in life and who you wish to be. As this Lifehack blog article on creating a life vision suggests, it also serves as a compass.
A life vision plan can support you in making decisions, aligning yourself with the right things or people in life, and feeling a greater sense of fulfillment. So, you want to ensure the format serves these primary functions for you.
A structure for a life vision plan should also be adaptable. Something you can visit and revisit over time (or perhaps redesign it if you would like).
Using other self-awareness tools, such as reflection-based exercises can help inform your life vision. Doing so can help hone personal strengths, character, and values. Reflection also supports healthy emotional regulation and setting realistic expectations.
Incorporating dimensions and elements of well-being across the areas of your life can also help structure a relevant life vision plan. Also, awareness of your personal capacities and energy reserves can be highly relevant. We have a simple reflection journal with a few approaches to help you determine relevant factors within the dimensions and elements of well-being, capacities, and energy levels.
In closing…
Your brilliance and a clear life vision are intricately linked. It may take time to set up a clear life vision plan. Also, as mentioned, it may change over time. Yet, both personal brilliance and a clear life vision can provide navigational support in our lives both on the day-to-day and in the long term.
