Why this exercise

​

You've spent 2 monhs looking honestly at your story, your strengths, your values, your principles, and what gives your life meaning. That was excavation - mining your innermost thoughts and experiences.

 

We're done with excavation.

 

This is declaration.  Declaration is about putting intention, and responsibility, in your actions. The medium in this case is a manifesto.

​

A manifesto doesn't explain or justify — it states. It's the difference between understanding who you are and claiming it out loud. This is where you stop describing yourself in the past tense and start declaring yourself in the present.

​

When you declare, there is nowhere to hide.  The universe is hearing you and has your back!  Trust that you will rise to the calling you hear within you.

​

Before you fill out the manifesto template, here are some tips to guide you in writing what matters most. 

• Before you describe the life you are building; name the emotions you want to feel most in life.  Let those emotions guide your responses.

• Keep your wiser-elder self in mind - they know what you really desire

• Keep revising your responses until you feel a resonance in your body that this manifesto speaks to you.  Your goal is for this to reflect your truth.
