Over the holidays, I finally was able to do some serious visioning and wrote my painted picture vision for 2013. Please forgive some of the stuff that seems sappy. But this is how I would love my life to look in 3 years. Out it goes into the Universe!
I wake naturally, feeling rested, calm and balanced. I slip out of bed quietly, so as not to awaken G. Thinking about the day ahead, I smile. It’s Inspiration Day. One day of each month, I spend a day out in the world finding inspiration and allowing my mind to relax and work on things creatively. It’s always amazing how many inspired, creative solutions I find for my clients on these days.
I rise and have my morning coffee while listening to relaxing, spa-like music. I take the dog on a nice, long walk and enjoy the neighborhood sights and sounds. I return home and meditate for 10 minutes, and then do some gentle stretching to center and prepare myself to receive inspiration. I hear G up and about, and I go upstairs to spend a little time with him before we both venture out. While he is showering, I log on to the computer to select my inspiration destination for the day.
Quickly I check email and set my auto-responder to let my clients know I will be out for the day. I encourage them to take some time and space to find inspiration for themselves. While I am online, I notice an email from a potential client, one I was VERY interested in working with. I had done a consultation to help him understand my methods, and he wants me to contact him in a few days to start the process! Immediately I feel full and grateful, as well as excited to take his company on a new journey.
My organizational communications and corporate culture consulting business, HyperZen Perspectives, is growing. In my business, I combine my over 20 years of experience in communications and branding with coaching, organizational development techniques and, just for a fun twist (but one that really makes an impact) art and interior design. I help my clients (companies, teams and individuals) find their authentic voices, bringing awareness to those voices and supporting them as they learn to use their voices and strengths more freely in their work together. I also conduct what I call Happy Bomb Workshops to help them loosen up their creative selves and give them permission to fail, flounder and make mistakes by playing with art. This allows them the freedom to make their voices visual and share with one another on a different level. I use that as a jumping off point to incorporate their personalities into their surroundings so that the workspaces they live in and work from reflect their voices, individually and collectively, with harmony and balance. The clients I have worked with have experienced an increase in productivity and revenue. They all report that they feel as if they work less and enjoy work more. Some even report improvements in other areas of their lives as a result of the techniques they learned.
I give G a hug and a kiss as he heads out the door, looking him in the eye and telling him how much he means to me and how glad I am to share a life with him in our beautiful home. I feel full and whole and ready for inspiration! I shower and dress in comfortable but stylish clothes, feeling strong and slender and confident. My dedication to regular exercise and conscious eating has paid off. I look and feel young again!
I pack my bag with my journal, a set of gel pens and colored pencils and head out the door. Today I am spending time in the Shenandoah Valley, exploring the little towns and galleries, enjoying lunch at a winery and taking in the beauty of nature. As I explore, I allow my mind to work on some ideas for a new client and sketch some thoughts for a workshop I am going to be giving at a retreat that I organized the following week with a number of my professional partners/friends.
Life is good, and it’s only getting better. I am grateful for all I have, and proud of all I have created for myself. I feel plugged in and as though my work is a gift I help others discover and unwrap. I am strong and balanced, loving and loved, open and receptive.
