To get started working on a Temporary Holisticgoal, begin with your Quality of Life statement. Close your eyes and breath deeply. Relax and imagine a place where “everything is perfect.” Take a few minutes to imagine this place and then begin to notice…

· the people there – what are they doing?

· the immediate surroundings

· any plants and animals

· the further surroundings – landscape - horizon

· the colors

· the smells

· What else do you see?

Now working from this place “where everything is perfect”, begin writing a quality of life statement. Start with the things you “truly desire.” It’s okay to write, “I want”… (fill in the blank). Remember, its temporary. If you can’t just start writing, use the word to get started list if that helps. Circle those things you value on the list and then begin writing using these. “I want”….

QOL Statement; I want….
