Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Four task of solidifying your savings engine. In this task, you define your ideal life and major motivation to keep saving as a major line item in your monthly budget. Motivation is all about having a dream that\u2019s is so compelling that it drives your saving automatically. This meditation will support the dreaming needed to create that compelling vision of your ideal life, and open the doors to the creativity needed to make it happen.

Posture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to get comfortable.\u00a0You can sit or lay down. You will want to close your eyes for this very visual exploration.\u00a0

Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s begin. You may have many goals. For now, let\u2019s focus on the ultimate goal…your ideal life. \u00a0Imagine that you can live anywhere, have any job, spend your day any way you like. What does a day in your ideal life look like? Don\u2019t worry about how to make it happen. We are just daydreaming. Nothing is impossible. Let\u2019s walk through it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wake up. What does the room look like? Are you in an apartment, or a house, or a boat?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You look out the window. Where are you? What does it look like out there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will your morning look like? See it in detail. See the faces of the people. See the textures and colors of what surrounds you. Hear the sounds. BE there.\u00a0Take a moment to experience it.\u00a0

What about your afternoon? How would you spend that?\u00a0
Your evening?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a day. You are tired now. In your room again, you feel gratitude for this amazing life. Feel that now. Feel the joy of living. You think back to when you thought this was all impossible. But here you are. Take a moment to soak it in.\u00a0

Return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your current surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. Write down everything you saw, felt and heard. Be as detailed as you can. There is a way. When you get the chance, do the research. Find a way to make it all happen. It will certainly take a bit of money (or more than a bit). Use this vision as motivation to keep saving as much as you can. Your dream it worth it. Visualize it – feeling it, seeing it, hearing it – often. Take the actions now that will take you there in reality. It can be done. Nothing is impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
