Connecting to Your Vision: The First Step to Congruent Living

Oct 10, 2024

When was the last time you felt truly connected to the vision you have for your life?

It’s a big question, isn’t it? And if you’re like most of us, maybe it’s been a while since you took the time to think about it. Life has a way of pulling us in so many directions that we can lose sight of what we truly want, that sense of excitement about where we’re headed.

That’s why I want to share something that’s become a cornerstone in my life and in my work with clients—Congruent Living. It’s all about creating a life that aligns with who you are at your core, starting with the very first letter: C for Connecting to your vision.

What Does It Mean to Connect to Your Vision?

Connecting to your vision is more than just setting goals or having a rough idea of what you want. It’s about creating a deep, living connection to the future you see for yourself—one that fills you with excitement, purpose, and a sense of “Yes, this is what I’m here for.” It can act as a compass, guiding you even when life feels uncertain.

Take a Moment to Visualize

Imagine yourself taking a moment right now—closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and letting yourself dream. What would your ideal life look like? Who would you spend your time with? What kind of work would light you up? It’s about exploring these questions without limits, letting your mind wander into possibility.

A Simple Tool: Journaling What Comes Up

One of the best ways to deepen this connection is through journaling. Grab a pen, open up a blank page, and just start writing about the life you see when you close your eyes. Write down whatever comes up—your dreams, desires, and even the things you’re afraid to hope for. Let the words flow without judgment.

Journaling helps you uncover what truly matters to you and serves as a bridge between the life you’re dreaming of and the life you’re living now. It’s like creating a map to your most authentic self, a guide that can help you stay on course when things feel uncertain.

Why This Connection Matters

For me, this practice became especially important when I found myself at a crossroads after recovering from heavy metal poisoning. My art career had come to an unexpected end, and I had to dig deep to figure out what was next. I asked myself, “What’s my next best step?” and turned to journaling to help me find the answer.

As I wrote, I realized there was a common thread that ran through everything I did—creativity, curiosity, and sharing the light of being a seeker. It was about creating an atmosphere that invited others to see their own path, just as I was rediscovering mine.

Every time I felt lost, I would reconnect with that vision through my journal, and it would remind me of who I am and the life I’m here to live. It became my guide, my way of finding congruence between the inside and the outside.

Are You Ready to Connect to Your Vision?

Take a few minutes today to connect with your vision. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let yourself imagine your best life. Then, grab your journal and write down what you see. What would it feel like to wake up each day knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be?

Every time you take a moment like this—breathing in, imagining your ideal day, and journaling what comes up—you’re taking a step closer to a life that’s truly congruent with who you are. A life that feels right, inside and out.

I can’t wait to hear what comes up for you. Share your thoughts in the comments, and let’s create a life that aligns with who you truly are.
