Live the dream - five years on

Create a vision of the future. Where will you be? What will you be doing? Where will you be living? How might a typical day be? Who will be with you? Just to think of a few things.

If you’d like some prompts to help you create your vision, you might enjoy doing this guided visualisation task.  Sit somewhere comfortable where you won’t be disturbed and where there are no distractions. Take a few deep breaths, turn down the lights if you can, close your eyes and listen to this recording. Let your mind wander, day dream to create a picture of your future.

After you have listened to the recording, click on the graphic to download the Vision of the future exercise and write down the vision you imagined.

Through this task you may have created a fantasy vision of your future.  Some of your ideas may seem unrealistic at the moment - that's fine. It’s OK to aspire and dream… dreams can become reality and when you are in your workplace you can try and adapt your dream into reality.

Add your notes from this creative task to your portfolio and you can then refer to it when you are assessing how different career ideas could give you the opportunity to achieve your vision of the future.
