You are going to do an exercise that will allow you to be as creative as you want to be: You’re going to imagine what your life might be like 40 years from now.
Start by inviting students to close their eyes or to look at a spot on the floor in front of them and to take a few deep breaths.
Take a moment to imagine your life 40 years from now. Things have gone as well as you possibly could have hoped. Silently visualize your answers to my next questions.
Give students the “Best Possible Self” handout and ask them to complete it on their own. When students have finished, give students the opportunity to share either their writing or their thoughts about this process with each other or with the whole class, if they feel comfortable doing so.
Understanding our sense of purpose, can not only help us in our daily lives, but it can also ensure we are practicing positive online engagement that showcases our best possible self and drives us toward our purpose.
