Happy Sunday everyone! 🌱

What is long-term envisioning and orientation?

It is living with a focus on the future, embodying your commitment to your long-term goals. It is considering the broader impact of decisions that you make, and ensuring that your decisions align with your goals.

Benefits of long-term envisioning and orientation

* Boosting self-esteem

* Boosting productivity

* Fostering a sense of hope

* Positive thinking

* Building resilience and perseverance

* Learning to overcome setbacks

* Feelings of accomplishment

* Having a sense of organisation

* Increase likelihood to achieve goals

Activity:

1. Brainstorm your goals.

It can be messy, but just get everything out of your head and onto paper. Envision your best possible future in your head.

2. Break the big goals down into smaller, manageable, measurable goals.

3. Add a motivation to each of your goals. Why do you want to do this?

4. Design pathways/systems to help you achieve each goal. What specific steps will you take?

5. Identify challenges/roadblocks that might be in your way. How will you overcome them?

6. Embody your goals. Celebrate your small wins. Allow yourself to be proud!

Reflection:

Reflect on how far you've come from where you used to be. What would you 5 years ago think of you now?


I hope you're all enjoying the IDG course and are learning a lot from it. Here's a short video for some further watching if you're interested in learning more.

Cheers! Plop

This post seems so incredibly helpful. I appreciate it!

I'm struggling with having goals for the future in the first place. It's hard not to predict doom and the worst of humanity succeeding in destroying the rest along with the planet. Perhaps I need to work on the hope part before I can set long-term goals for the future.
