The Rituals for Living Dreambook provides an example of mind mapping, then provides space to create your own mind-maps at different time intervals, future self journaling. Mind-map where your future self in one year, three years, ten years ect, using the previous answered questions as a prompt.
Mind-map Example
I did do my own future self mind-mapping, in three areas. I will list my bullet points for Enhancing Connections. I have it all in the traditional format, but my handwriting has not evolved past early elementary school age and I am not about to share that with people.
Seriously, I failed Handwriting in third grade.
Onward.
Future Self Journaling Mindmap – One Year Goal
Enhancing Connections
- Invite friends and neighbors to go for walk n talks
- more dinners out with friends where we shut down the place with conversation
- expand donation network
- frequent check-ins with my circle
- listen more, talk less
- seek opportunities to help more
- pay more attention to love languages of my favorite people
- participate in book clubs and Goodreads
I found the mind maps fun to do, honestly. I’ll do the Three Year next and share that in the next installment.
Grateful For:
-that my hunger is a choice. That is a blessing worthy of a post all its own.
-The Sps was rewarded handsomely for some work he did, and seeing how much it has made him feel valued and less stressed is lovely.
-A New Year started uneventfully.
-No Covid in my circle of influence. Still. It’s been two years! Thank you scientists, nurses and environmental specialists. SO MANY have a part to play in my health. Many Thanks!
Godspeed.

Quick recap, the purpose of vlogging this process. The journaling is part of a 30 Day Challenge I started over a year ago. I consider that a component of the Future Self Journaling process. The gratefulness notes near the bottom of each self improvement post is also a specific and helpful part of Future Self Journaling.
My children purchased the Rituals for Living Dreambook for me, so I thought that would be another helpful task in the future self journaling and 30 day challenge experience.
The End.
