POLOKWANE – According to the Oxford Dictionary, a blueprint is a design plan or other technical drawing, but very few of us know we can create our own blueprint.

Meena Mistry, founder of Shivdev Training Academy and co-author of two wellness books, titled Revive Revitalize Recreate and Invent Innovate Integrate, recently approached the Polokwane community for a Nature’s Cure to Wellness workshop.

During this workshop, she aims to teach people how to create their own blueprint.

“A blueprint is a guide, tool, or safety net that helps you reach your higher self. It helps you discover your true self, unleash your greatness, and find your niche.”

Mistry says the negative effects of not having a blueprint are feeling directionless, purposeless, and being drained.

The keys to creating a blueprint involve creating vitality programmes and defining and maintaining programmes that rejuvenate your energy.

“The importance of this is that those programmes sustain your well-being. Regularly update and engage with them and reawaken your dominant creative power.”

Mistry highlights that another key is to rediscover and harness your creative energy, which is important as it fuels innovation and passion.

“Prioritise your living cycle. Balance your needs and wants, and re-prioritise during and after adversity. It is important to ensure meaningful growth and adaptation. Every person will experience growth through change, always be mindful.”

Mistry advises readers to practice mindfulness to improve their outlook on life and enhance awareness and clarity. By practising mindfulness, a person can become calm and perceptive.

“Readers should tap into ancient wisdom and natural sciences for wellness. It is important to wake up your latent knowledge and practices and align everything with a natural order. Visualise your purpose.”

Mistry says that readers can use visualisation to define and achieve their goals by focusing on their efforts and intentions. “You should follow the lion’s chase: observe, visualise, hunt and achieve; live your legacy.”

Lastly, Mistry advises that people should embrace their lives with heart and mindfulness, leave a lasting impact and have patience, stamina, resilience and purpose.
