Okay, so at this point you set your goals and created a plan to achieve them.
You now know what you have to do on a daily basis to accomplish your goals.
You took the time to figure it out…
What you want, and how you’re going to get there.
“How often should I review my plan?”
When you first create your plan, I suggest diving into it daily. Reread your plan and see where you can adjust things (+ / -) to make your plan more simple and relevant to you.
Since plans are constantly adjusted, they are constantly changing. That’s why we can’t wait to have the “perfect plan” to get started, because the perfect plan doesn’t exist.
Your goal grows and manifests through your plan. It’s up to you to decide on the path you take to get there by reviewing your plan on an on-going basis.
When you feel like your plan is in a solid place, scale back diving into your plan on a weekly basis to see if any adjustments are needed.
Think 5, 10, 20 years out. What’s the end of the movie look like? Think BIG. These are our Someday Goals.
Finance: this could be a net worth goal, total # of paid off rental units, etc.
Personal: this could be anything under the sun that is personal to you – mine is to help a million people live a healthier life.
Health: this could be physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual health-related. E.g.) delay / reverse an illness, cure mental chatter, heal emotions, connect with higher power.
Fitness: # of pull-ups, run x distance, compete in x amount of races / tournaments, etc.
Tools to get there
If we think ahead now, we can start to do a little bit everyday to achieve our goals.
The Life Map System will help you create the life of your dreams by prompting you to:
Writing down our goals and breaking them down into small, doable tasks is how we get extraordinary results.
Good builders don’t build without a blueprint. So why would we make the mistake of just winging life and taking whatever it gives us, when we can make actual plans and live a life of our own design?
Lifestyle by design → making our dream life a reality. It’s totally doable, ya just have to know what you want. And that’s where the Life Map comes into play!
Let’s create a Google spreadsheet. Categories going down, Goals going across.
What are your top 3-5 categories that you’d like to set big “someday” goals in?
Personal
Fitness
Health
Business
Finance
Romance
Charity
Someday goal
Next, we’re going to come up with a “someday goal” for each category. This is where visualizing what you want your life to look like comes in handy! It’s the perfect time to write out your dream life.
Once you have a someday goal for each category, let’s move on to each category individually:
5 year goal
What’s the one thing I can do in 5 years that will help me accomplish my someday goal?
1 year goal
What’s the one thing I can do this year that will help me accomplish my 5 year goal?
1 week goal
What’s the one thing I can do this week that will help me accomplish my 1 year goal?
Daily goal
What’s the one thing I can do today that will help me accomplish my 1 week goal?
BONUS: Right now goal
What’s the one thing I can do right now that will help me accomplish my daily goal?
Wrapping Up
The Life Map will keep you on track toward your goals, and will help you make big and small decisions you’ll be faced with down the road – “will saying yes to this push me toward my goals or away from them?”
The Life Map is a tool, and must be used on an on-going basis to get the best results possible. Yes that means reviewing your sheet daily 🙂
Your Life Map will be ever-evolving as you accomplish goals and replace them with new ones, so don’t get stuck on getting everything written out perfectly before taking action on your daily goals. Goals may change, even categories may change. The key is to keep up on the dailies and adjust along the way.
Take control of what you can control. Small actions lead to big results.
Commit to the Life Map and create the life of your dreams 🙂
When our actions line up with our core values, we feel inner peace.
When our actions go against our core values, we feel inner conflict.
For example…
If I say I’m going to do something, and do it – I feel good.
If I say I’m going to do something, and don’t do it – I feel bad.
Knowing that integrity (doing what I said I’ll do, when I said I’ll do it) is a core value of mine…
I can see right away that I feel bad because my actions are not in alignment.
Moving forward, I’m going to be much more cautious of what I say yes to while putting in place things to help me fulfill my promises (reminders, alarms, google calendar, etc)
Getting to know our core values is important if we are looking to live a healthier, happier life.
When we dig deep on our core values, we change our…
Way of thinking
Actions
Life situation
Core values are like intentions. You write them, feel them, and work to get them done.
To know yourself is to know that the feelings of pain and hurt are within you as well as the feelings of love and peace.
To know yourself is to no longer get surprised when feelings of anger or sadness come up…
They’re actually expected to surface now and then, in fact anticipated.
To know yourself is to know how to attract positive energy back into your life when you are experiencing negative thoughts and feelings.
When you feel anger boil up – maybe someone’s driving slow on the road for example – are we letting the feeling of anger take over? Or are we taking a breather and letting it go?
Simply knowing both the pain and the peace are within you may give you a sense of relief.
