Welcome to day 22 of Insight Timers Reset and Refresh Challenge.

Your call to break free from the ordinary,

Let go of what's been holding you back,

And step into your life with a fresh perspective.

Let's jump in to today's session.

Hey everyone and welcome to your fourth and final week of Insight Timers Reset and Refresh Challenge.

My name is Justin Michael Williams and I am so excited to be with you for the next seven days.

You're almost there.

But first things first,

Let me acknowledge how far you've come over the last three weeks.

You've been doing a ton of soul searching and laying the foundations for a meaningful year ahead and this really matters.

So as a recap,

Week one with Sarah Blondin was all about shifting your perspective and changing the way you look at the world with more tenderness and compassion.

In week two,

You turned your attention inwards with Alex L,

Taking the time to consider what you need to let go of so you can make space for the person you wish to become.

And last week with Stuart Sandeman,

We learned all about the power of breath work and manifestation to elevate your mental state so you can energetically match what you really want in your life.

And now we're in the perfect position to leverage all of this motivation you have and turn it into tangible,

Real life results.

So over the next seven days,

We are going on a journey of designing your life on your terms.

Together,

We're going to wake up the best,

Most purpose driven,

Most dynamic self that has always lived within you and bring it to the world.

And we're going to do this by focusing on finding personal clarity in what's called the six key life zones,

Which are scientifically proven to correlate to a happy and fulfilling life.

The six life zones are number one,

Work,

Number two,

Hobbies,

Number three,

Wellbeing,

Number four,

Relationships,

Number five,

Finances,

And number six,

Being of service.

And we're going to end our challenge with how to take long term action to bring your vision to the world.

Each day we'll focus on a different life zone so you can get clear on the vision that you want for your life for the next year.

But before we get started,

I just want to acknowledge something.

I know so many of us close our eyes and we can see a life that we haven't started living yet.

We can see the people we know we were put on this earth to be,

And we all know we were put here to do something incredible.

And whether it's about our work or our relationships or our body or health or money or intimacy or connection or creativity,

We all want to take our lives to the next level.

If you're listening to this,

I know that there is something in your life that you are ready to take forward.

But sometimes we get stuck,

And I know this because I've been stuck too.

And oftentimes this happens because we spend so much time comparing ourselves to other people or living based upon what we think we should do instead of what we really want to do.

And sometimes this stuff comes from our family or from society or from whatever we've always been told we were supposed to do.

But as we do this practice today,

Please remember that I want you to dream bigger.

I want you to dream outside of your circumstances.

Because what matters most in your vision is not making sure it comes true exactly as you see it,

But who you become in pursuit of a vision that is bigger than the circumstances you're in right now.

So we are dreaming big.

We're stripping away anything that's based on outdated traditions or a need for validation or self-doubt or other people's expectations.

Because you are ready,

You are worthy,

And you deserve to live the life of your dreams.

So I just want to say how honored I am to be here on this journey with you.

Following these steps literally helped me design the life of my dreams,

And I am so excited to go on this journey with you.

So with that in mind,

Let's begin with life zone number one,

All about work and career.

So go ahead and just get comfortable wherever you're sitting,

And place your hands over the center of your chest,

One over the other,

And take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.

And close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.

And now we're going to align our breath with a manifestation breath called the 3-3-3 breath.

It's very simple.

You'll take three counts in,

Three counts hold,

And three counts to exhale.

I'll walk you through the whole thing.

Start by just taking a cleansing full deep breath in with me,

And a deep breath out.

And now inhale with me for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold for one,

Two,

Three.

Exhale one,

Two,

And three.

Great.

Let's do it again.

Inhale one,

Two,

Three.

Hold for one,

Two,

Three.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three.

Last time.

Inhale one,

Two,

Three.

Hold for one,

Two,

Three.

Exhale one,

Two,

And three.

Now just breathe normally.

And as you sit here with your hands over your heart,

I want you to imagine a future version of yourself who is working in the job or career of your dreams.

And I don't want this to be realistic.

I want it to be like if you could rub a magic lamp,

Anything is possible.

What do you notice?

What do you sense?

And I want you to scan around yourself now in this future vision.

And notice if you can sense,

As you imagine the career of your dreams,

If you're indoor or if you're outdoor in the vision.

Just notice.

Notice if there's anybody there with you or if you're alone.

And notice what's happening in this vision that indicates that you are indeed living the life of your dreams.

What's happening,

About to happen or already happen?

And see if you can just notice what you're doing for work.

What kind of work environment are you in?

Maybe you even notice what you're wearing.

And even if you're just getting little clues,

Let those be meaningful.

What do you notice,

Even if it's subtle?

And now,

Whatever you're imagining now,

I want you to push it even bigger.

What would make this vision feel like if it came true,

It was an absolute miracle?

I want you to let yourself go there with me.

What could the future you show you,

If the vision could get even bigger?

What would make it even more amazing?

Let yourself go there.

Let yourself go there.

And now keeping this beautiful vision in mind,

Whatever is present for you,

I'm going to ask you a question.

And I want you to answer this question with the first thing that comes to mind.

Here's your question.

What is one tiny step that you can take to move you in the direction of your vision?

What is one tiny step you can take to move you in the direction of your vision?

And just trust whatever arises.

And then go ahead and take a deep breath in and a deep breath out,

Saying goodbye to this future version of you just for now.

I want you to take a moment now just to remember in your mind the main things that came to you in your vision and the tiny action step that you can take.

And then take one more deep breath in with me and a deep breath out.

And when you're ready,

I invite you to open your eyes.

Take a moment now to jot down,

Most importantly,

Your action step and anything that feels important to you from your vision.

And oftentimes,

You can be surprised at what comes up when we enter this space.

So just trust whatever came up.

And on day two,

We're going to go into the second life zone.

And I'm going to explain to you a little bit more about the power of envisioning a future beyond your wildest dreams.

Thank you so much for being on this great journey with me of redefining your life.

Tomorrow,

We talk about hobbies,

Interests,

And play.

This is Justin Michael Williams signing out.

And I'll meet you right here in this special place in our next practice.

Bye for now.

Reviews

Excellent. Happy to be back with Justin and creating.
My vision isn't fully crystallised, there are several strands and I am not quite sure how they fit together.
The first was to take on making a contribution to linking innovation with practical impact in a way that I have found missing in my branch. TED talk at the end. The practical step fir this is to research what theory there is on this at the moment. Perhaps to find a course of further education that can give a framework.
The second is to be involved with healing the world, how not do that not well defined, but I know it is more about enabling opportunities and equity and equality. A practical step is to learn to really listen for people's issues.
The third is to turn my health around and become some sort of inspiration for surviving or coming to terms with complex chronic health challenges. This might involved learning far more acceptance. The first step is to take full responsibility for myself - 'check myself every time before I wreck myself' - and working in enabling good habits, discouraging bad habits, and staying grounded on the journey

I was a few days behind on the challenge and now I can’t access the remaining 5 life zones. I’m so bummed!

Fantastic! It is amazing what came to mind when I dared to tap into my courage to dream BIG!!

Inspiring!

Probably the best human on insight timer
