Design Your Perfect Lifestyle Written by David Wood
Design Your Perfect Lifestyle We often fall into trap of thinking we have to wait until retirement to have our life be just right. (Of course, in retirement people often get bored.) So stop waiting! This article is written to help you design your ideal life. Then ask question: What would it take to have this NOW, or this year? If that's absolutely not possible (and it probably is, so look hard!), then you design a plan to reach that. Following is an extract of Perfect Lifestyle Program. (Better still, you can currently download full Program free of charge at www.life-coaching-resource.com Look for Design Your Life option.) Instructions: Print out following, and create a picture of your ideal lifestyle in following seven areas. Use questions as a guide and also add your own questions. Assume money is not an issue i.e. you have plenty. You can worry about HOW to get your picture later. Now dream! a) Self Care How many massages per week? How much drinking water per day? What kind of body? Exercise program? Diet? How much energy would I have? How many walks would I take? How much peaceful time/fresh air? How much sleep would I get? How do I dress? b) Home Environment Where would I live geographically? Which suburb? Which country? House/unit? On water? In country? Friendly community? Climate? What would my bedroom look like? My yard? How tidy is house? Do I have a cleaner? Someone who shops for me? Does washing? What car do I drive? c) Relationship From your partner, do you want a commitment for life, or a commitment for now? What kind of commitment do YOU want to make? Do you want an exclusive relationship, or one where you explore other relationships? To what limits? Kids? What's your ideal sex life? d) Friends and Family How many friends do you want in your life? Do they drop by spontaneously, or set up weeks in advance? Do your friends know your other friends? Are they rich? Interesting? Creative? Warm and Open? Or busy and stressed? Ideally, how would your relationship with your mother look? Father? Siblings? (Don't let your history block you here. Create 'ideal' relationships!

Double Your Living I want you to know beauty of life. I want you to AWAKEN, and see that people want to connect with you. I want you to finally realize how desperately you want to connect with other human beings, and then to distinguish, to see clearly, 100 barriers we accidentally, and deliberately put up to stop that happening! At core most of us are raised believing we are bad. Unfortunately, if this is true, we are also surrounded by people feeling SAME. The fact that intimacy DOES occur on planet COULD be referred to by some as a miracle. If one scared human being looks like actually getting close to us, fear of BEING SEEN, and consequently being REJECTED leads to instant barriers. I believe purpose of life is to find those barriers and bring them down. But that won't happen today..... I want you to get to know, how scared you are, and love yourself for it. Then I want you to realize how scared everyone else is, and laugh at joke. (You walk into a party and head to kitchen - safe from scary people! - but they're feeling same way! It's a joke!) But you won't get to know this - to really know this - today. I want you to remember with joy most intimate, loving experiences of your life, and then imagine them tripled. Imagine them tripled in intensity, and imagine having them five - times - more - often! (That's FIFTEEN times intimacy and love for mathematicians out there). Imagine lying on your death bed, surrounded by loved ones, breathing 'I have truly lived, like few have lived before me'. Imagine them saying at your funeral: 'This woman, or this man, will be remembered for truly opening up to others. For truly seeing people and loving them as they are. And! For first finding out what it took to love her self, so that she could love others.' Is that all I want? No. I want you to be so uninhibited by thinking of others, that self expression becomes NORM for you! We've been conditioned since age of TWO......to quash our impulses. Our natural desires are now strained through filters so fine, so powerful, and so automatic, that perhaps -out of TEN, only 1-3 of our natural impulses make it through to outside world. Is that possible? Could we be 30% expressed? Who has ever felt impulse to hug someone, or kiss someone, or compliment someone, and held back? I had strong impulse to hug my gardener! But it felt "INAPPROPRIATE". But who knows how she would have felt? Who knows how that could have impacted her whole day, and who she might have hugged? It was a natural desire which never got expressed. Inappropriate. How many INAPPROPRIATES do you have in your life? I want you to be so uninhibited by thinking of others, that self expression becomes NORM for you!
