A Life Wish List - Or How to Live Your Dreams!


My son Nico had his Birthday and I watched in amazement, how happiness came straight from his heart when he unwrapped a present he was wishing for, for a long time. His shining eyes and the contagious positive energy he radiated triggered a great idea!
When did you last write a Life-Wish-List?
When you are on vacation, maybe at a nice beach or in the mountains surrounded by nature, or maybe just having a relaxed afternoon at home with a delicious drink in your hand listening to music, let your thoughts run free, without any censoring or reality check and write down all your wishes. It could be things like:

  • creating a nurturing and inspiring reading or thinking corner in your home
  • the sports car you have dreamt about for many years (it could also be rented for a weekend!)
  • a safari in Kenya
  • taking a balloon ride
  • additional education
  • singing live in a bar
  • climbing a mountaintop
  • a wellness weekend for two
  • seeing the musical "The Lion King"
  • taking an arts class

and many more!
It doesn't have to be something big, just something you where dreaming or thinking about for a long time, but never made it happen. After finishing your list, you can ask the other members of your family to do the same or you can even make a family wish list; everything you would like to do together sometimes.
Well now, all in black and white, your list becomes more real and you can always get back to it. The next step is to fulfill one wish per year in your list. You could review your list every year during your vacation or on New Year's Day and decide, what to do next in the coming year, rather than the usual resolutions like stopping smoking, loosing weight or doing more sports!? What a blast! Vacation is the perfect time to reflect, as you are able to relax and let your thoughts and dreams be big and free! Regain your shining children's eyes and enjoy the positive energy!
