At the end of the timeline, come up with a few beliefs of yours that aren't based on logic, but are based on what you've been told. And that's all well and good - it gets the job done certainly - but it doesn't allow room for you. For most people (it's more common than you may think) life is pretty easy to go through while on autopilot we practically get handed a road map for how reality "works." Go to school, get a job, get married, think this, that, and the other, and boom - hope you had a good time. Instead, recognize that these experiences shaped you.ĭistinguish your thoughts from the thoughts of others. Everyone has these blips in their timeline, but exaggerating or ignoring them won't help you.
When life brings problems or misfortunes it shapes our belief system and makes us think differently, but it also makes us us. In turn, write down the events in your life that have already happened and that have shaped or affected you. Write down all of your major goals that you feel you have achieved and want to achieve.
