Define Your Ideal Life

Now that you’ve pared your stuff down appreciably, or perhaps you are still in the midst of the journey, you might want to set your sights on your Ideal Life.

The first step in the process is to write out a script, a kind of screenplay of your ideal life to come. Perhaps a page or two.

Here’s how you go about it: Envision your life five to ten years from now. Write down what you would like your ideal life to look like, as if you would be already there.

I invite you to focus on:

· Work - What do you do for a living? How intense is your passion for your choice?  Where does your work take you? Do you travel in your job? What kind of advantages does this calling offer?

· Money - How much money are you earning every year? How much money do you have in the bank? What type of investments do you have your money invested in? How much money is your money earning for your ideal life?

· Health - Are you healthy and in the future? What is your evidence, that is, what do you see when you look in the mirror and how do you feel?  How high is your energy level?  How much do you weigh? How often and intensely do you exercise? What exercises do you enjoy doing? What does your body look like? Are you muscular? Are you lean? Are you both?

· Family - Do you have a family? How many in your family? How is your ideal future family doing in life? What things does your family enjoy doing and experiencing together?

· Home -  What do your living quarters look like? Describe each room. Describe your surroundings. What country or state are you living in?

· Relationships - Do you have a lot of friends? How many? Describe your friends. What are they like? What do they do for a living? What do you do to make your relationships deeper and even more rewarding?

· Things - What fun objects do you own? How often do you take time to enjoy these things?  Do all of your things have a home?  Do you own a vacation dwelling? Where is it located? Is it on a beach? Is it on a lake? Is it in a big city? What kind of car do you drive? Or do you prefer other means of transportation?

· Enjoyment: What do you do for fun? What are your favorite activities in the future? Do you go on vacation? Where do you go on your vacations? What are some of your favorite vacation experiences? What are your hobbies? How creative are you? What new experiences do you engage in? What learning experiences do you enjoy?

The key is to describe as vividly as you can. You want to identify every aspect of your ideal, future life with all details that seem important to you.

Your mind has difficulty with vague things. Fine points help your subconscious get its neural head around your perfect life. These details tune your mind into the things you want in your life. They stimulate your mind to get to work and find a way.

So get started and begin creating your Ideal Life.  The first seed is being sown when you begin to develop a concrete vision of what you want with vivid details.

Go on.  Have fun with it.
