My 4 Methods for Mapping Out the Future

I will be the first person to admit that knowing what the future holds creates a certain level of anxiety. However, after some time, I realized that there is no way to strictly plan out one’s future. However, there are ways to map out a path you’d like your life to follow.
So grab your journal, and follow my four methods for mapping out a future that you could enjoy:

1. Create a list of short and long term goals 

Remember that there is no need to add a strict deadline for every goal! Instead of planning for specific events, try honing in on what things you’d like to accomplish, or how you would like to feel. Try to keep them development-based and not fixate on an age limit or a certain date. Instead of planning for milestones, plan for happiness instead!

2. Explore what questions you’d like answered

Again they don’t have to be specific but take a moment to look within and ask yourself - what questions have you always wanted to be answered? 

How would this affect your sense of self and your goals?

How do you want your life to look and feel?

3. Seek guidance, and don’t be afraid to ask for help

I can absolutely relate to the feeling of anxiety that surfaces when we are faced with times of uncertainty. In fact, this is why I seek the guidance of tarot and the stars for guidance (if you’d like to read more on the guidance of tarot, check out my blog). However, I always try to recognize and appreciate the support from the people who care about us. Never be afraid to ask for help!

4. Leave open the mental space to envision and manifest

This is the trick to being able to handle whatever life throws your way. By leaving space open for change, we can build our trust in ourselves and our ability to adapt and overcome. When you allow yourself the security to envision yourself in the future happy and fulfilled, this creates an undeniable force in the world! So while you are manifesting your goals and dreams for the future, don't forget to leave a little room for the unexpected!


Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”
