Have you ever envisioned yourself and your life as a map or astronomical system? How would you depict yourself if you were to draw an image in full of who you are,the life you have, and the life that represents your many hopes and dreams? Take a day or two to illustrate this image and all of its components.  If you are a great artist or cartographer there is no limit to the detail you can scribble in these images. If you wish, take this in a more exact self-engineering direction. Include minute physical measurements and draw yourself to detailed coordinates and scale. If you are into the world of fantasy, think of your body inside and out as an imaginary world and give your “body-world” fantastical regions, mountain ranges, and communities of imaginary beings. Paint yourself as a constellation and illustrate all the elements that keep you together. The opportunities are not endless but definitely plentiful.

After all is said and done, what you will have is an interesting exercise viewing yourself differently, mapping yourself and your aspirations, and projecting your life into its multidimensional future. Once you have completed your atlas, place it in a spot that you can revisit and reflect on what you have produced.
