Positive Hindsight Clarity and Hope Mapping
I hope you were able to use spring break for clarity. It may have served as time to relax and restore relationships that may have been neglected previously. Maybe you realized with some time for fun life isn’t all that bad and in the end you’ll end up okay. This is called hindsight clarity.
Hindsight should be used as a tool to predict the beauty in life but commonly used negatively. For example you realized in hindsight you made a mistake in the past. Now you’re afraid to make another mistake. But that is a negative way to understand at hindsight clarity. Instead you could use this realization to know you made a mistake but making another one is okay too!
Being negative about life is what makes it miserable. Always worrying about the next thing or how bad things may get is unproductive. But what I want you to understand is there is always space to be positive using hindsight clarity. There’s even space to generate a life you never thought you’d have.
I talk about a tool called hope mapping in my article Transcend Your Beauty in my school’s fashion magazine called Trend. Read my article today to learn more in depth about it! Essentially, hope mapping serves as a written guide to create a life that you want. From money, to relationships and even travel plans! Using this tool a person is able to find what they truly want out of life instead of living life similar to the likes of others.
Everyone has dreams but there are a select few people who dream large. Know it is okay to dream differently. One thing I dreamed about was living in my own apartment as an adult. Now that I have that I dream to live in an even larger apartment on my own. I think that the world doesn’t give us permission to dream enough. But Mantle Memoir encourages this! It’s almost like the world expects us to be mediocre. But here at Mantle Memoir we want you to strive past that by giving you thought provoking topics.
As we learn from Spongebob we could smooth out the edges of our personality and become a carbon copy of everyone else but what would that lead us to? Even if you are lost in life and don’t know what you dream of it is always nice to give yourself permission to think about how you could make your life better. Learn from the life you are living now and use tools such as hindsight clarity and hope mapping to generate more happiness in your future state of living.
