Visualization....

I learned this new technique (new to me at least)last night..I went to an IAAP meeting (international association of something) cant remember right now, any who, it was a meeting for Executive administrators, so basically a room of middle aged women and 1 man, there for the San Jose Chapter meeting....
I was invited to join the meeting, because I was thinking about joining this group. Work will pay for it and it seems to be a great way to network. It might be.
I still need to figure out how this can help me...I will get back to you on that.

SO... Visualization, there was this guest speaker and she was talking about journaling and goals and all that, which was great, I often journal or blog, but I had never experienced this visualization technique. She asked the room to A) write down a goal that we had just met, sometime in the future, and write as if we were in that moment now, how we felt, what we were doing in that moment. Once we did that she B) had us close our eyes and imagine us in that moment, what did we look like? how did we feel? where were we? C) we then had to imagine ourselves on the outside looking in at ourselves, and take a picture D) this gets good, we had to imagine floating above us in that moment and seeing the path ahead and our future ahead of that.....after about a few minutes she brought us back "into the room" as she put it. Now I have a great imagination, but this was something I just never experienced, I think I was focused enough to actually do this exercise and get something out of it, but I am not sure. I always freakin' doubt myself.

When I got home I thought about the goal I had written down, I think it was Jan 2 2013 in my goal...and I wondered to myself, is that really what I want to be doing (hint: my goal was about a career path) or is it what I think others think I should be doing.

I have come to the conclusion: I don't really know exactly what I want to do.... I don't have a fucking plan.......and when someone asks me what are your future plans.... I don't fucking have an answer. I have some ideas and dreams...I guess I should start there and write these things down along with some achievable short term goals or I am going no where in a hurry!

I need a drink!
