Vision & Clarity Worksheet Guidance: Setting Your Year Up for Success


Are you ready to get crystal clear on your goals, eliminate stress, and set yourself up for success? Then, let's dive into the Vision & Clarity Worksheet!


This worksheet is designed to serve as your guidepost throughout the year, helping you set goals and actually follow through with them. No more getting overwhelmed by New Year’s resolutions that fizzle out by February! Your year can start anytime—any month, any week, any day. If you feel stuck in July and need a fresh start, then July is your new January! Let’s go! 🚀


Why Vision & Clarity Matter


Life throws curveballs, and sometimes it feels chaotic. That’s okay! The key is focus. This worksheet gives you a back-pocket word—a word you can pull out whenever you need clarity. When faced with decisions, distractions, or doubts, your word will bring you back to your focus, helping you stay aligned with your vision.

This worksheet isn’t just about goals; it’s about creating a vision for your life and gaining the clarity to bring it to fruition.

Step 1: Identifying Stress & Creating Awareness

Before diving into vision-setting, it’s crucial to pinpoint where stress is sneaking into your life. The worksheet includes a Stress Awareness Wheel covering areas like:


  • Career & Money 💰
  • Community & Relationships 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
  • Health & Wellness 🏃‍♀️
  • Fun & Recreation 🎉
  • Personal Growth & Spirituality


When stress is high, fun is low. We rarely have both at max levels simultaneously. This tool helps you pinpoint exactly where stress is coming from so that you can make shifts to bring in more peace and joy.


Step 2: Learning from the Past & Finding Your Mentors

Next, take a moment to reflect:


  • What are three of the most important life lessons you’ve learned?
  • Who are three mentors who have influenced your thinking?
  • Why were they impactful? What about their mindset or approach resonated with you?


Your mentors don’t have to be people you know personally—they could be authors, speakers, or even a character from a book who inspired you! Their influence gives you insight into what truly matters to you.


Step 3: Who Are You at Your Best?

Time to reflect: When you’re truly thriving, who are you? Use descriptive language and write it all down.


Then, break it down further:


  • Your Strengths: What qualities make you feel most you?
  • Your Passions: What excites you? What do you study or research for fun?
  • Your Core Values: What principles do you live by? What’s non-negotiable for you?


💡 Pro tip: If someone challenges one of your core values and you immediately feel defensive, that’s a sign that it’s deeply important to you!


Step 4: Choosing Your Word for the Year

Now, go back through your notes. Highlight words that spark energy and excitement.


  • Narrow it down to five words that feel aligned.
  • Reduce that list to two words that feel most powerful.
  • Pick ONE word that will be your guiding theme for the year.


This word will serve as your anchor—your compass. When life throws distractions and obstacles your way, this word will bring you back to clarity.


💡 Example: My word this year is EXPRESS—I’m focused on using my voice, creativity, and personal growth to share my message with the world. Everything I do aligns with that mission!


Step 5: Addressing Stress & Problem-Solving

Now that you’ve defined your vision, let’s tackle stress.


  • Identify three major stressors in your life right now.
  • Ask yourself: What’s the root cause? Most stress stems from feeling trapped, held back, or lacking freedom in some area.
  • Use solution-focused thinking. Instead of obsessing over problems, shift into solution mode.


Step 6: Visualization & Manifestation

Now that you have clarity on where you’re going, it’s time to feel it before it even happens. Visualization is a powerful tool for manifestation.


  • Meditate on what life looks like when you’re fully aligned with your vision.
  • Journal as if it’s already happening. Describe it in the present tense—not “I hope to…” but “I am…”


Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined experiences, so train it to expect success!


Step 7: Creating Your Mission Statement

Your final step is writing your personal mission statement:


  • I am… (Who are you at your core?)
  • Born to… (What is your calling or purpose?)
  • For the purpose of… (What impact do you want to have?)


💡 Example: I am pure, positive energy, born to share my optimism for limitless possibilities and lay hold upon every good thing.


When you’re feeling lost, stressed, or overwhelmed, return to this mission statement. It’s your North Star. 🌟


Final Thoughts

You now have a powerful tool to create clarity, direction, and purpose. This isn’t just about setting goals—it’s about becoming the person who naturally aligns with the life you desire.


Remember:

You are capable of massive transformation.

You already have everything you need inside of you.

Your year starts NOW—whenever you choose.

You are creative at the heart of who you are. You would rather be in charge of creating your life and deciding the who, what, and when of your daily schedule. When you discover your true self, you won’t be able to plow through every day like a drone, exhausting yourself with people pleasing or trying to meet unrealistic expectations in hopes of being valued and appreciated. Your inner genius is your spirit. She is love and light. She has so much to say, share, and experience. It would be a crying shame to keep her stuffed away, never to contribute her gifts and talents to the world, wouldn’t it? Your inner genius is very wise and wholly intelligent. If you take time every day to ask her questions to which you seek answers, she might surprise you with the creative ways she nudges you to be the unrestrained genius you have wanted to give you the answers to the test.

If you listen to your body, which is talking to you all the time, you will have a much better handle on your real needs and what are just coping strategies. You may feel like there is a void you can’t fill. Stop, breathe in three sharp breaths, hold for three seconds, and exhale slowly—repeat three times. When you tune in to your actual needs to get more sleep, start a project you’ve been putting off, or engage in a creative outlet and take action, you will avoid the frustration that comes with the myriad of ways we can find to procrastinate and become out of alignment with our true selves. With practice, it will become clear how to end cycles of procrastination that breed self-doubt and allow yourself to feel fulfilled, attuned, and complete.

A balanced and regulated nervous system supports not only your inner child, who needs you to stay with her when she feels insecure and afraid of the “situation” you might be going through, but it will exponentially change your outer world as you walk with confidence and assurance that who you are, as you are is the only person you can be. The real you is when you are simultaneously connected to your soul, your inner child, your intuitive guidance, and your body. Not a single part of you is being denied, ignored, or abandoned. Your body holds all of the past memories, good or bad, through the conditioning of the nervous system, and it just so happens that your spirit also lives in your body.

Your job has never been to do hard things. Your job is to find the way to doing challenging things more easily. Another way to say that is to let go of the resistance you added to the experience and let yourself find the more simple path. Imagine this: You're on a rowing boat, facing upstream, fighting against the current, thinking, “If I just paddle harder, I’ll get somewhere!” But there’s one caviat; all rivers flow downstream. Upstream padding is not what is needed most. Setting the paddle down and letting the current take you is easier. But, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. Haha

The Power of three is everywhere in our lives. It starts with God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Also, Christ rose on the 3rd day. Why 3? The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness, and perfection. We spend most of our lives trying to connect the Body, Mind, and Spirit to feel whole. Our personal patterns of becoming the highest versions of ourselves involve Growth, Expansion, and the Journey that eventually becomes the story and legacy we leave behind. It is also the number indicating time – past, present, future, birth, life, and death. If you look at the patterns of 3 in your life, you may discover the lessons you were being called to learn so you could live more fully in Harmony, Wisdom, and Understanding. You might enjoy a little life review session looking for patterns in 3s that either held a disintegrating pattern for you or an enlightened pattern that helped you up out of dark places.
