Your Ideal Life

To create an extraordinary life we must be able to paint a picture of what it looks like.

Imagine if everyday was your best day. Wouldn't that be great? What’s the best day of your life like? Where would you be? Who is with you? What are you doing? Can feel the smile on your face, the joy in your heart?

It is an important first step to know what true happiness means to each of us. If you don't know what will make you happy, how can you ever expect it to happen? Please take a moment to think about your best day. But don't just think about it, see yourself there experience the happiness.

Exercise: Imagine your ultimate day. Write it in the box below. Describe not only what you’d do and where you'd be, but also what you'd be feeling during your best day ever. Hold on those feelings.

Where would you live?
What would your house look like?
Who is with you?
What is the conversation about?
What are you doing?

If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else.

Affirmations in Daily Life

In everyday life, people can use affirmations to reprogram their minds into a more positive way of thinking.

Affirmations are statements that you can repeat silently or out loud to yourself, over and over, until the constant repetition become meaningless and you are aware only of the sound of the affirmation in your head. Although repeating statements in this way may seem pointless at first, try to persevere because they are powerful tools and can have some very positive effects on your mind and overall well-being.

Affirmation examples:

I am very confident
My body is beautiful
I am completely relaxed
Everyday in every way I am getting better and better

Please write your affirmation(s)
