Visualizing Your Best Life and Finding Your Way Home

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what happened to the person you used to be?

Before the bills, the responsibilities, and the weight of the world took over, there was a version of you that moved with ease. That version of you didn’t “survive” the day; they lived it. For many of us, especially when navigating life with neurodivergence or through high-stress seasons, we lose touch with our spirit’s purpose. We get so busy dealing with the “now” that we forget who we actually are.

But the “real you” isn’t gone. They are just waiting for you to stop, visualize, and plan the way back home.

1. Look to Your Inner Child

One of the fastest ways to find your purpose is to look back at what you did before the world told you what you should do.

• What did you do for hours without being asked?
• What made you lose track of time?

For me, it was classical music. I used it to focus on homework as a kid, and today, it remains my anchor. It helps me cut through the ADHD clutter and find my flow. Your inner child holds the map to your joy—don’t be afraid to follow it.

2. The “Perfect Day” Script

When you are in survival mode, you don’t have the luxury to dream. But once you give yourself permission to stop, the alignment begins. Try this:

Visualize your perfect day from the moment your eyes open until they close at night.

• How does the room feel when you wake up?
• What is the first thing you do? (Is it rushing, or is it calm?)
• What kind of work are you doing?
• Who are you talking to?

When I finally visualized my plan, my life started to shift. I stopped rushing. I began doing work I actually enjoy. My days became relaxed because I finally knew what I was aiming for.

3. Create the Environment for Focus

Finding yourself requires a “container” where your mind feels safe. For some, it’s a quiet room; for me, it’s the swelling notes of a symphony. Finding that one tool—like classical music—that allows you to focus on your projects is a game-changer. It isn’t just about productivity; it’s about creating a space where your spirit can breathe.
