How can you design your best life? First to design mine I am going to embrace my unique talents and gifts. I feel most alive when I'm in flow and when creativity is taking me in new directions. To design my best life I have had to take a moment to recognize where changes are necessary.
For me those changes involve choices that I'm making. It is the small choices that matter. For example, did I chose to exercise today? Did I make good food choices. Did I take time for myself? Did I spend money that I should not have spent? Second I consider whether the choices I'm making are in line with my long-term goals.
It seems simple like common sense, really. What is needed is success along the way to keep you on the right path and a way to deal with setbacks. How to get there? Start again each day and set stretch goals to make it happen. You need to know your direction and where you're headed, otherwise you'll get well, nowhere. This time I want to get more concrete results. I have made progress, but so far not nearly enough.
So this week I am recommiting to my health: physical, financial and mental. With each area I am setting goals and figuring out my plan to reach those goals. Each week I will assess what's worked, what hasn't and make adjustments, accordingly. I know it could happen as I've always naturally done this with my career and finding the right the right place to live, and now I'm ready to apply it to my whole life.
How are you going to design your best life? Please share your thoughts as we can accomplish more together than apart. And remember, (I sometimes forget) have fun along the way! Today I had fun taking a walk after work, reveling in the setting sun.
