Our Checklist
Here’s a look at our checklist of ideas that we’ve been checking off during our year of “Better Living.’ This month, we are adding to the checklist with the additions in Quarter III- Better Living through creativity, through finding yourself and now…future visioning! Many of these ideas and self-guided exercises are part of the Growing Group Magazine from Flipboard. Here are a few we’ve gathered to create a checklist for you to use moving forward.
Your Better Living Ideas Checklist
In Quarter III of 2025, we learned about Better Living through Creative Thinking; about finding who we are and future visioning of who we are becoming!
Some Creative Thinking Ideas to carry forward
As we allow ourselves to let go and to think ‘outside the box’ for solutions to challenges in our lives that we have never resolved-or resolved to our satisfaction-here are some ways that might help you see things in a new light.
- Affirmations to use each day
- Find your “Creative Flow’ in life…
- Journaling -then reviewing what you wrote from one year ago!
Your Self-Discovery Starter List
We have often talked of ways that we might ‘find ourselves’ and discover new things or remember past things that bring us joy and fulfillment. It is one reason that journaling is encouraged as a vital link to finding out who you are and where you want to go in life…
- Journal weekly: Write down 5 positive things about yourself.
- Reflect on past mistakes: What lessons can you take away?
- Ask deep questions: Choose 5 big questions to explore in your journal.
- Set habit goals: Focus on building small daily routines around health or learning.
Future Visioning
Our latest edition of “The Blurb Blog’ newsletter is about ways we are already living in the future! We need to plan the ways we might grow as our lives and our environments change over time. With new technology, and with our own life changes that come naturally as we age and move into another stage of life, we can find ways to ‘flow’ into our future rather than to simply drift along!
- Think about one small change that could make a big difference
- Create a Vision Map for your life-Health/Career/Relationships/Spirituality
- Write a Letter to you-from your future self!
Taken as a whole, all of the ideas and actions included here can help you to create your own Road Map to the Future as you continue to change and grow in life.
