WOOP is a way of motivating yourself to dream big but also to consider the obstacles to fulfilling your dream and make a plan how to overcome them.
Wish for something meaningful and wonderful for yourself
Outcome: Imagine vividly for a while the best possible outcome of your wish. What does it look and feel like? Who is involved? What is happening?
Obstacles: Realistically speaking, what are the obstacles to your wish coming true?
Plan: Put a plan in place how to overcome the obstacles, write down what you're going to do when the obstacle comes your way.
Seemingly, people get a lot more positive results in their challenged area whether it's health, work or social connections, when they not only dream of a positive change or outcome but also consider the obstacles and make a plan to tackle them. Much more so than people who simply dream or imagine good things happening but don't expect difficulties, they might become disillusioned and never dream again.
I've downloaded the WOOP app, which helps the process as it guides you forward step by step, helping me to make the best of my fantasy of my wellbeing program being implemented in schools and homes all over the country and beyond.
You can also go onto the website woopmylife.org and find scientific research to support this process and lots of videos guiding you through.
Picture above: collecting my daily birch-sap from a birch tree in this short season before the leaves need the sap and I plug up the hole again. Very popular drink in Finland and Eastern Europe as it is full of minerals. I was dreaming of doing this for some years as I'm surrounded by birch trees in this area. That dream has come true and I'm sharing the abundance of birch water with various neighbours equally fascinated by the generosity of the birch tree.
