Bombastic Branching
I started this new reflection practice, where I visualize the most audacious and impressive potential branches in my future.
I noticed that all of my reflection practices look at my most immediate past, present, and future. But I havenโt been giving myself any space to daydream about the big picture โ what the most ideal future branches might look like.
So far, itโs been a really effective source of motivation โก๏ธ
