This post is Day 9 of the 31 Days to Reset Your Life Challenge for 2011. Learn more and sign up for the program here.
Over the past few days, you’ve reflected about the current state of your life through assessing your values and actions. Now, you’ll get a chance to begin to go in-depth about your goals for each of the seven areas of your life identified in Day 2′s life assessment exercise. Today, you will create a life map.
A life map is essentially a visual/text representation of what your ideal life looks like. It’s really and truly one of the most powerful personal development tools for both envisioning and creating a “map” for the path to your own happiness.
Last year, I made a video about how to create a life map and how the process actually led my mom to start her own “side hustle” three years ago, which has since blossomed into a profitable, full-time fitness consulting business. This is powerful stuff!
Keep in mind that your life map should be in accordance with your values and your personal mission statement. The idea is that now that you’ve got a sense of where your life is, you can begin to think more clearly about where exactly you want it to go. Ready?
Estimated Time to Complete: 60-90 minutes
Please download the Life Mapping Workbook to assist you in creating your life map. It’s a 13-page easy-to-use PDF guide to creating your own life map with colorful worksheets like the one you see above. You will want to print it out and follow the instructions inside.
