A snapshot in time-
Your current lifestyle is hard to define until you have a simple technique. Take an imaginary camera, take a picture of your life. Really take a picture, a close look at your life.
Go and take note of your closet, what wardrobe, what organization. Take a picture of your car interior exterior, your kitchen, bedroom, open the "junk drawer".
Take a picture of how you are interacting in each of the 6 major areas of life: Family/Home, Financial/Career, Mental and Educational, Physical and Health, Social and Cultural, and Spiritual and Ethical.
If you are unsatisfied in any of these areas then you are alive if not you just can't be helped. There is no one that I have ever met that has complete alignment in all 6 areas. Even the very self-actualized individuals that I know will say it is because they keep their focus on these areas so they can improve in them.
This may bring you to a "day of disgust", the problem is that if you reach this day and don't have a road map going forward then you continue to degrade your standard and reaching more and more days. Here is the road map I use:
1) Keep a log or a journal of the description of each (when I work with people I require it) .
2) Write down the current reality with great detail as above.
3) Write down your ideal lifestyle being very specific about what you want
4) Spend time each week asking for what it is you desire ( it is a healthy positive invitation, most people spend tons of time asking to not have the ______, and get more ______ as a result, instead ask for more of what you want).
5) Don't leave the house without making some change in at least one of the 6 areas, this will help you harness the power of momentum.
6) Start cutting pictures of the ideal and sticking them where you will see them. This doesn't have to be weird, but it is necessary the more clear you are of what you want the more close your faculties can provide it.
7) Take action- Example-If I want a more organized closet- I would put a picture just inside the door where I may reach for my tie in the morning and see the organization that is ideal. Because I am constantly aware of the direction I am heading I will put my shoes in a more orderly fashion, my awareness will be on organizing tools if I pass them in a store.
8) Be kind and loving. It probably took you many years to manifest your current situation.
It probably took you many years to manifest your current Lifestyle, it will likely take a few small habits to manifest a new lifestyle, but these few easy to do things will take time to replace the old.
