FIVE WISHES for 2009 WORKSHEET from http://www.lovingsilence.org
Here is a valuable guide to asking five questions to clarify your intentions for 2009.
The Invitation
Are you willing to receive the gift of the question and use it to create a more fulfilled 2009?
If you are, transport yourself in your imagination to the end of the year 2009.
Imagine it is Dec 31, 2009, and I am visiting you.
The Questions
I ask you: Was the year 2009 a complete success?
If you answer "No," ask yourself the main reason 2009 was not a total success, and write it down in the space below.
(Of course, it's also possible that you might answer my question with a "Yes." Take a moment to write down the five experiences or accomplishments that made it a success.)
The main reason 2009 was not a total success is because I didn't _____________________________________________.
Now write down four other reasons.
2009 was not a complete success because I didn't __________________.
2009 was not a complete success because I didn't __________________.
2009 was not a complete success because I didn't __________________.
2009 was not a complete success because I didn't __________________.
Your Five Wishes
Now, turn those reasons into wishes.
For year 2009 to have been a total success, I wish I'd _______________________________________________.
And I wish I'd ____________________________________________.
I also wish I'd ___________________________________________.
And _____________________________________________.
And _____________________________________________.
Top Five Reasons for Success
Now ask yourself what five actions / attitudes lead to making this a successful year.
First and foremost, 2009 was a success because I _______________________________________________.
I also succeeded because I ___________________________________.
And because I ______________________________________________.
And because I ______________________________________________.
And because I ______________________________________________.
Affirmations: Your Path Forward
Now for the really good news: You don't have to wait until the end of the year 2009 to turn your wishes into reality!
Begin the process by writing your wishes as right-now, present-tense affirmations. Write your wishes like they are already achieved and you are enjoying the results.
I enjoy ________________________________________.
(Example: I am enjoying a loving, thriving and supportive relationship with everyone in my family.)
And ____________________________________________.
And ________________________________________________.
And __________________________________________________.
And ______________________________________________________.
Remember
Your wishes are living, breathing expressions that can be changed, revised and re-prioritized. Work with them, play with them, use them as navigational tools to guide your way, share them with your friends and family.
Above all, enjoy the process!
"The Five Wishes" from Gay Hendricks, its a book I recommend.
