“Statement” feels a little official for the sweetness and grounding this simple activity can bring to navigating life’s days and decisions.
Ours turned out more like a list of words and short phrases, written out quasi-nicely with a sharpie and paint pen, and hanging on our fridge as a reminder and guide. You can make yours as scribbly or lovely as you like. The point is to DO it and refer back to it.
For us, it helps us make 1) choices and pursue goals in alignment with our values and particular needs, 2) keep to our boundaries and priorities, and 3) take care of our future selves’ sense of meaning, security, and fulfillment - even in the face of challenges.
In this podcast, I share about this meaningful tool, where it comes from, how to think about it and put it to use creatively, and how you (and whoever you’re doing life with) can make your own.
I hope making one helps you stay closer to your unique creativity and vision for life this season and beyond.
Supporting subscribers will find a downloadable PDF below with the prompts to make your own, along with a peek at ours (yep, on the fridge!). There’s also a transcript option (beta) if you prefer to read rather than listen.
