Life Review Step #1: Let Your Life Speak
Draw a horizontal line across two blank sheets of paper
Divide the line into 10 year periods, starting at 0 and ending at 100. One piece of paper will be 0-50 and the other piece of paper will be 50-100.
Set a time for 20 minutes
Above the line, jot down:
1) The significant life events and experiences that have shaped who you are today
2) The major turning points/forks in the road
3) What you loved in each 10 year period
When you are done:
Let your first draft breathe for a week
Notice what comes up for you and appears in your life
Take one more 20 minute period to add/delete anything. And consider, if you think about your life as “a book with many chapters”, start to consider what the chapters are and give them a title.
Share any surprises, aha's or insights in the comments below.
