Learn with every fiber of my body
Recently I had some time to think about my life and my goals, and cause i read some business books that where all about "having a vision", I spent some time thinking about my own, personal vision.
I had always been really bad at stuff like that, cause I never really knew what I should do with my life, but this one day last week it suddenly was so clear to me. Clearer than it ever was. And I understood, that I have had problems expressing it, because my goals never were something like: "i want to reach this and that, I want to have so much money, and this car, and that house, etc", but much more in a general direction way. Ideas that i want to explore, values that i want to uphold, directions i want to reach out.
But getting clear on that, my vision becomes very simple. I found out that I have a very clear goal for next year and that my values have always been there. I just did not consciously know them. So I started writing them down.
My Vision: Learn with every fiber of my body
I am aware and conscious in every moment. Through that I learn and grow mental, emotional physical and spiritual with everything I do. I trust my intuition to guide me spontaneously in the right direction. I understand that only by doing I learn and grow and integrate. Therefore I accept and embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and see mistakes and errors as a part of the learning process. I live in tune with nature and all its richness and opportunities because only by living in line with nature I can truly grow.
Core Values:
- learning takes place through doing. Through doing I grow and expand
- By being in tune with nature, i am also more in tune with my self. This includes living in a sustainable way as well as following natures patterns
- reduction: I reduce my consumption to things that are necessary and life supporting
- physical well being promotes mental well being
- these values are not dictating my life, my life is creating my values - i constantly rethink and reevaluate my Core Values and adopt and change them to fit to my life.
Action Steps:
- Mental
- at MUM: I try to get the best out of every class. If a class does not come up to my expectations I do not lean back and just sit through it, but rather challenge myself, my teachers and my classmates to make the class better
- GSC/World Congress/Bornell Project: I know that only through doing and practicing I really learn and I see my work as an opportunity for learning by doing. I train my skills by actively participating, stepping up when necessary and observation when possible.
- I take my time to be clear about what i want and do not want and follow my passions.
- Emotional
- I keep on working on my personal development through shadow work,
- I am opened to building close relationships and open myself.
- Physical
- I train and explore my own body. I am physical active in as many different areas as possible. First of all: riding my bike whenever possible; but also doing yoga, soccer, volleyball, rock climbing, tree climbing, running, walking, skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing and everything else that is fun
- I commit to one kind of exercise and do it on a regularly basis (ex: go to jiu jitsu, Tai chi, or any other kind of martial arts).
- Spiritual
- I meditate on a regular basis to continuously work on my spiritual development and evaluate the effect of meditation on my wellbeing.
- I am opened to other spiritual practices, try out what sounds interesting to me and evaluate them on a subjective basis.
- Sustainability and contentment
- transportation: No car, no motorbike, but riding my bicycle. Use public transport whenever possible
- food: I stick to organic, local, seasonal, unpacked, fresh food whenever possible
- waste: I avoid plastic bags, plastic bottles, and all disposable items. Whatever is not avoidable I try to recycle
- lifestyle: I reduce consumption. before I buy something I ask myself if I really need it or if I just want it and rethink my decision.
- I prefer to buy from companies that reflect my values: Sustainability, Fair Trade, Open Source, Responsibility, etc...
