So what does YOUR fulfilled life look like? 

My previous post talked about the importance of living your best life. But perhaps you read that and thought, well what does that mean? What does my best life look like? Or perhaps right now you are feeling in a rut? Does every day feel the same and isn’t filling your cup? Perhaps you need to shake things up but you aren’t sure how or what you actually need.
If so- STOP what you are doing right now! And follow these steps: 

1. Grab a piece of paper and pen.
2. Think to yourself, I have just been told I have 2 months to live.
3. Close your eyes and let that really SOAK in. You have until December 3rd, 2022 and that’s IT! Not another Christmas, not another New Year, nada, (hopefully this isn’t causing permanent anxiety to set in). 
4. Now, Visualize what the next two months look like. If you have perfect health up until that two month mark, what would you do? 
5. Write it down. Write it ALL down. Don’t question yourself, don’t analyze, just let the thoughts flow and write. 
6. Now take a few minutes to clear your mind. 
7. Reflect back on your life up until this point and ask yourself these questions:
   • What are my most favorite memories?
   • When have I felt the most ALIVE?
   • What would I change about my past if I could? 
   • What would I love to DO again? 
8. Start writing!
9. Lastly, erase the two month deadline we previously worked with and now think to yourself, what do I want to accomplish in my life? Before death comes a knockin’, what do I want to know I achieved?
   • If you are drawing some blanks you can look at past photos of your LIFE and see which photos really stir up reactions in yourself; which ones make your mind race of how to DO it again? Which photos make you remember a time that set your soul on FIRE? 
   • You can also think of these categories to help you dream of goals to accomplish in each area of your life:
     • Professional
     • Physical Fitness 
     • Adventure: Hobbies/Activities/Trips
     • Relationships
     • Financial
     • Legacy
     • Creative
     • Character
     • Intellectual
     • Spiritual
10. Start writing!

Hopefully from this exercise you were really able to DREAM and dream big, without limitations. Now go buy yourself a journal or notebook that you can transfer all of these dreams into this book. Moving forward I encourage you to look at this often, add to it frequently, and continue to dream big.  If you can turn it into a one page document to post in your office, or bathroom mirror to look at daily, that’s even better! I have mine in a composition book that I’ve carried around since March 2016. I’m happy to share photos of mine if it helps you create yours! Just message me today to request snapshots of it. 

Next post we’ll talk about how to make these dreams come true because what’s the point of them if you don’t take ACTION to achieve them?

Until then, I’d love to hear what some of your favorite dreams are? What in this list gave you the most excitement and really got your mind going? Share with us today via text, email or on social media! 

Please, please, please, I beg of you to set your life up that when death comes a knockin’, you may be mad and not ready to go, but you at least feel FULL and SATISFIED with how you spent your life. Because here’s the thing- we as humans feel awfully immortal until it smacks us in the face. And then you realize how precious life is and how fast it can all change. 

In 2015, I had my first real life experience with this. At the young age of 28 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We got the “you have cancer call” on a Thursday and it wasn’t for another five days until we got the full diagnosis and man, was that the longest and scariest weekend of my life!  We prayed it was caught early but in the back of our minds we couldn’t help but think, what if it wasn’t, what if this is the end? And I’ll tell you what, that weekend I do remember thinking:

I’m so glad I have had such a fun and amazing LIFE.

I really made these 28 years count!

From the friendships to family relationships, to the career and professional life and of course to my adventurous and active life. I really was stoked on what I accomplished. Yes, I was scared if it was the end and I would have been pretty mad if it was, but I was at least glad I had made those years count.

How many times have you heard stories of someone dying young, or getting sick and you thought to yourself, “I’m so glad that isn’t me”. Well honey, I hate to break it to you but sometime in the future that is going to be you. So please, make it count. Please, LIVE your LIFE! Because once your time is up there is nothing you can do to change the past. So make sure you are setting your life up that you won’t want to change it!

Oh, and if you aren’t sure what a fulfilled life looks like to you, then stay tuned because next Elevate Livin’ Life post we’ll talk about figuring out what a LIVED LIFE looks like. Until then, start DREAMING of what sets your soul on fire!
