Future Focus: Intentions, Goals, and Change

Isit la se nan yon 2023 ki ranpli ak tou sa nou bezwen konnen nou ap pran swen ak sipòte.

Ou ka efase sa a epi kontinye ak jounen ou, oswa ou ka li sou fason yon konsantre nan lavni gen rapò ak gerizon nan Sanctuary.

Kèlkeswa kote te gen èt imen, te gen rituèl rekonèt sik yo nan pasaj tan an. Gen plizyè fason nou make tou de sa ki te pase ak sa nou espere ke yo ka gen pou vini, kit se ak selebrasyon nouvo ane, obsèvans lalin nouvèl, anivèsè nesans, anivèsè, oswa memoryal.

Nou tout te tande sou valè a nan tabli objektif, kit se yon tablo Pinterest, jounal bal, oswa jwenn yon antrenè, fikse objektif ki konsantre sou lavni sanble yo te tout raj pou kèk tan. Pou moun nan nou ki gen tandans pou pèsistan yon ti jan lontan nan tan lontan an, oryantasyon sa a nan direksyon tan kap vini an ka yon gwo leve.

For those living with distress, it may seem near impossible.

Poukisa se sa?

It is because triggers transport the person who lived the experience to the past, to the emotional place and time of the event, often without the person knowing what is happening. The pattern-matching prowess of the human organism is, in these moments, its worst enemy. What feels like danger may not actually be, and the experiencer is prevented from moving forward by very real physical sensations delivering the message that what happened in the past is happening right now in the present.

Distress flies under the radar in this way, because it feels like real and justifiable responsiveness. Someone uses a tone, gives a look, says something, and suddenly we’re reacting. Since we can identify the reasons for our (re)actions, we convince ourselves that it is just how we are. In this way, reactions become personality traits. Truly pernicious.

This is an example of why focus is so vital for people who work in this field. We bring awareness to our triggers, which is a great first step, but if it is the only step we take suddenly we’re aware of what we’re doing but still rather helpless to stop it. If we bring a future focus to our awareness of triggers, we can create goals for alternate versions of the immediate, the short-term, and the long-term futures we wish for ourselves and our environments. If we are consistent in visualizing more helpful options, our emotional reactivity will begin to respond to these futures rather than our pasts, giving us the opportunity to access whole lives that maybe we didn’t have access to before.

Li se yon defi ak entans travay, men jis pran yon ti moman kounye a yo vizyalize vèsyon an nan lavi ou ke ou ta pi pito. Vrèman santi li. Si lide ou kòmanse demanti li ak negasyon pale, mande pati sa a kenbe sou pou jis yon ti moman.

Nou ka fè sa. Nou vrèman kapab. Nou ka fè li ansanm.

Nan lespri transparans, mwen dwe admèt mwen se nouvo nan pratik sa a menm si mwen te tande kouman li fonksyone pou dè dekad Sekrè a, manifeste, tout bagay sa yo - li se reyèlman jis pouvwa imans nan kwayans nan tèt ou, la. enèji nan selil nou yo k ap travay ansanm nan direksyon yon objektif nou entansyonèlman panse sou. Ki jan sa travay? Li travay paske si ou vrèman, reyèlman entansyonèlman fikse objektif, ou pral aprann sa ou bezwen konnen sou objektif sa yo, fòme abitid alantou objektif sa yo, ak abitid sa yo ak edikasyon ap sipòte ou nan reyalize objektif sa yo. Ou pral kòmanse aji kòm si bagay ou vle a se pou ou; ke li se jis yon kesyon de tan. Ou pral chanje pwòp konpòtman ou, ak moun ki bò kote w yo pral kòmanse wè nan ou bagay ou vle pou tèt ou.

Yon fason senp pou angaje ak pwosesis sa a se chwazi yon mo alantou ki bati 2023 ou a. Jis yon mo, yon ti mantra, ki pral fè ou tounen nan tèt ou lè lavi inevitableman vin difisil. Li pa majik, men li ka majik. Si ou se yon kalite moun Forbes, isit la se yon atik sou vizyalizasyon ak, jis pou èk la nan li, isit la se yon Inc.com youn sou anviwònman entansyon .

To paraphrase Mahatma Gandhi, if we want to change, we need to become the change we want to see.


Mèsi.
