Let’s cast some VISION! In many definitions, vision is tied to imagination. The heart of casting vision is having the ability to think or plan for the future with WISDOM and IMAGINATION Casting vision is a process that involves thinking, dreaming and planning. Last week we discussed INTENTIONALITY, and this is a key ingredient for planning or dreaming. Looking ahead to the future does NOT involve ruminating on what could go wrong or actively trying to control life based on ...fear. With 2021 around the corner, let’s reflect together on the VISION you have for what’s ahead. Keep your heart fixed on gratitude, joy, and peace as you ponder these things #vision #pauseandreflect #mentalhealth #holisitichealth #holistic #holistichealing #holistichealth #mentalhealthcounselling #mentalhealthcoach #selfcare #mindbodysoul #holistic #selfcare
