113 to 2023: iMAGINEd home

Have you ever thought about what you want your dream house to look like?

What type of dwelling would you choose?

How would you paint the walls of your rooms?

Who will take the master bedroom?

I had been radio silence for the past five days because I had been busy living my life to the fullest. Someone once said:

When you live live life, time will pass very fast - Unknown

It was also part of my effort to be easy on myself, listening to my body and hear, and prioritising what needs to be done.

I do not have a clear vision on my iMAGINEd house but I know how I want it to feel.

Warm, coloruful and fun. Probably something minalistic yet full of character.

I hope I will have enough space to display my art, and space to practise yoga.

I believe this exercise helped me to better visualise what I want my future to look like. After this, I would probably write some instructional goals I have for my future. Pinning it on my wall, I hope it would keep me grounded and focused.

At the same time, we must be reminded that at every chapter of our lives, we will have different focus(es). However, our core values will never change.

If you are unsure of what is your guiding principles and values, going through the Values Card Game could help you.

Envision yourself in the shoes of the various roles you play in your life - as a child, an employee, a student and the sailor of your own boat. In each of these roles, your guiding values will surely be different. Pick out 5 value cards while focusing on a specific role, then narrow it down to 3 cards.

Choose 3 key values when you are playing this role, use this values to guide your decision and your life in that role.

Of course, will the values always be the same? Definitely not!

For example, one of my values as a student current is to focus on health.

This is especially so after I injured my ankle, I try to prioritise healing and anything that could hinder my health, I would reconsider.

With that, I personally found the Values Card Game very helpful in finding my anchor and guiding compass.

If you feel that you need something to guide you to attain your iMAGINEd dream home, you could give it a try.

How would you want your dream house to feel like? What could you do to achieve that?
