The 12 Categories of my Life
5 Personal life categories ( Mind, Body, Spirit )
3 Relationship life categories
- Love Relationship (Spouse/Partner)
- Parenting (with your kids and Parents)
- Social ( Friends and Networks )
2 Business Life categories
1 Quality of Life
1 Life Vision
All the 12 categories are interconnected
Answer the following four questions for each of the categories:
1. What do I believe? Your belief system is the roadblock. Question your assumptions. Worry and Doubt do not help at all. It is only mental but not existential. Action is the solution to worry and anxiety.
2. What do I want? Your vision is your direction. What is your big picture? Plan for short-term (3 months), Medium-term (12 months), Long-term (36 months). You discover and create at the same time. Figure out who you are. Have the Courage to ask others for help if required.
3. Why do you want? Your purpose is the driver. Your purpose is your filter. If your WHY is weak, anything can derail you. If it is STRONG, you can transcend any challenge. Lack of self-control is the reason for lack of strong Purpose.
– What if you do not stick your purpose – Assess the Pain for not changing ( Stick )
– What if you do stick to your purpose – Assess the Gain for changing ( Carrot )
4. What I need to do to get what I want? Your commitment to your strategy is the key. Set an Intention and Allow. Co-create with the universe. Choose Goals that excite you a lot and scare a little. Squat before the jump. Are your Desires and abilities aligned?
– What is Your excercise Program ( Yoga, Interval Training TABATA, Super Slow Resistance Training )?
– What is Your meal Plan ( Green Smoothies )?
– What is Your sleep cycle?
