Big Picture Reset • A Grounding Ritual for Momentum and Consistent Success
I setup a recurring task in Asana that prompts me every 3 weeks, with these 3 grounding questions:
- What’s the bigger dream/vision here?
- What do I want to make more consistent?
- What’s MOST important to me?
"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." (Simon Sinek) But if you can't even remember why you're doing what you're doing, then no one wins.
I started with weekly prompts, and it just felt miserably unrelenting, like constantly nagging in my ears and pounding on my nervous system. Then I tried monthly prompts. Those felt too far apart, and I couldn't remember what I had written the month before. Then I tried prompts every 2 weeks, but that still gave me the anxious hint of "What?!? Two weeks have gone by already?!?
So I tried for every 3 weeks, and there, my Goldilocks Zone! It's not too often / hounding, but not too sparse / floaty, it's just right. What's your "just right" zone.
Here are my Big Picture Resets from the last year. I'm a deep believer of simplicity and effortlessness.
Bigger Dream |
More Consistent |
Most Important |
|---|---|---|
| To love and be loved | Harmony | Enjoy every second of my inner Sacred Union |
| To be a magnetic vessel for love and prosperity | No thought. No mind. | Receive, receive, receive |
| Evergreen abundant inflow of income and championing people + resources | Beauty + Pleasure | Live forevermore in the expanding present |
| To receive and have all the money needed to actualize my dreams | A cuddle buddy | Pleasure and delight, every single day |
| To have. To have evergreen inflow of money. | Pleasure + listening to basic human needs | Self-compassion and the surrendering of needing to understand |
| To have, all of it. | My newsletters and its content distribution | Outsourcing and hiring the right people |
| To live in luxury, with cooks, maids, assistants and drivers | Staying invested in weekly newsletters and experience of earth school | My need for skillful, pure, loving touch |
| My manuscript in my hands by end of year | Writing / loveletters, every 2 weeks, no excuses | To feel good on the journey to evermore liberation |
| To bask in evergreen embrace of evergreen financial plentifulness | Monthly pre-scheduling of blogs | Be the guru I know I am. Source the Love I know I am. |
| Share my pleasure and sweetness and bliss filled life with my soul king | Anti-perfectionist bi-weekly newsletters | Single-tasking every moment, filled with Love |
See a pattern? My vision is on prosperity attraction... and prosperous I am. My consistent practice is on writing... and writer I am. My priority is on the moment... and present I am.
May these prompts be helpful to ground you in times of lull, frenzy or everything in between.
With infinite grace,
