What would your ideal day look like? Imagine a day that goes exactly as you want it to go, with results that go beyond your expectations.
I too like to envision what an ideal like looks like for me. Planning it makes it possible for you to create it in the long run. This particular mind technique may be the most important thing you can do to achieving your dreams…
Just as any successful business NEEDS a business plan – so do you NEED a LIFE PLAN.
Here’s how to create yours…
Your Action Plan For The Creation Of An Ideal Day
Step 1: Zero Distractions
To plan for your ideal day, you are going to need about an hour of undisturbed quiet time. No radio. No T.V. No phone. Nothing should distract you.
Step 2: Choose Your Format
Either use a pen and paper or type it out. I prefer to type it out and save it because it makes future editing easier. I can add pictures too.
As you grow, your Ideal Day will change. This change is perfectly normal. Your ideal day should change as you do. This is why having a version you can edit can help you amend it easily and as you’re changing.
Step 3: Give It *Life*!
Do you agree with me that among the most important discoveries you can make in your life is finding your life purpose? Have you discovered yours yet? Or perhaps you’re still trying to define it? Having a clear purpose leads to a clear value. This is important because having a purpose guides your life and helps you apply the correct processes and actions to reach your goals.
Purpose will be unique for each of us.
Yet, there are some common questions that come up when you reflect upon your life purpose: Who am I? Where do I belong? When do I feel fulfilled?
And when you’re clear about your journey, your goals and what you wish to accomplish, it’s a lot easier to look into the tools…
When you’re clear about that, starting from the exact time that you wake up, write out your entire ideal day.
Describe everything. Your home. Your family. Your health. Your work. Your hobbies. Your car. Your vacations. The way you generate income.
Write out your perfect routine.
Fill it with details and make it vivid.
This should excite you because you are taking the first step toward creating your ideal future.
You create the person you want to be, where you want to live, who you want to be surrounded by, and even how you want to make your money.
By writing your Ideal Day down, you give it life. You give it tremendous momentum to move in your direction.
And remember never to limit your ideas.
Step 4: Read It Out Loud With Enthusiasm!
Once each week (like every Sunday night), read your Ideal Day out loud. And don’t just mumble and skim through it. Describe your Ideal Day with enthusiasm and pride.
The more ’emotion’ you put behind reading it, the stronger it affects your subconscious mind.
Do you know what happens when the subconscious senses a difference between the inner and outer worlds? It feels tension and gives you ideas, opportunities and motivation so that you can make your inner and outer worlds match.
Step 5: Re-visit Your Ideal Day
Every six months, go back and see if you need any significant changes. A lot can happen in half a year, and things that were important before aren’t so important anymore.
I find that I usually modify my ideal day once every three months. Mine changes almost with the seasons. ? You will know when and what you will need to change when something you are reading just doesn’t ring true anymore.
This mind technique is among the most effective, yet the least performed.
I believe that it’s because this exercise makes you ‘think’ about what’s important to you and what exactly would make you happy.
So please, for your sake, don’t dismiss this mind technique. Of all of the methods I am sharing with my clients, this is the one that I believe gives you the best results.
So get a pen and paper (or open up Microsoft Word or your online journal) and start generating your Ideal Day!!
