The Write Your Life Method is all about looking at your life from different, more creative angles, so – with this in mind – this week I have a fun exercise for you to try:
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for your life.
To do this you can use a free piece of software like Canva – or any other program you have on your computer – or simply just draw it yourself on paper.
Take your life as it is now, today, and ask yourself the following questions:
· What genre would your life be if it were a film?
· What title would you give it?
· What image would you use?
· What tag line?
· Would it be an epic adventure or a subdued drama?
· A comedy? A romcom? A tragedy, perhaps?
· A bright, bold musical or a dark, chilling horror?
· What would its main theme be?
· What fonts would you use?
· What vibe would the poster give off?
Then, once you’ve got your poster, I want you to make another one – this time for the life you want to have, your dream life.
How would the genre change? The title? The image? The tag line? The overall vibe?
Once you’ve finished, you can compare the two and perhaps put them up on your wall or on your vision board, giving you something to aim for and reminding yourself of what kind of life you actually want to lead.
This can be a really great exercise to do as it’s fun, it’s creative, and it gets you thinking about your own life and how you’d like it to be. You could even get together with a bunch of friends and come up with your movie posters together.
