Starting From Zero
Living Your Happiest/Best Life
1. Sit in a quiet place where you feel safe & free
A quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed - kinda like a meditation spot (if you meditate)
2. Think about what makes you happy
Whatever it is that really makes you feel happiness list it - those things that would make you happy all day every day of your life
3. Imagine how you would live your happiest life
Details details - see it with details - use all of your senses
4. Starting with ZERO things in your imagined happiest life
Now, starting with nothing, add the most important components of your happiness - what are they?
5. Add only those facets which would be in your happiest life
Try to places only those facets into your imagined happiest life that are actually contributing to that happiness - like all the details
6. Visualize how your happiest life would unfold daily
Take those details & imagine a day in your happiest life - what are you being, doing, etc? Play a movie in your mind
7. Determine the facets of your present life that are not present in your happiest life
Notice what’s different about your happiest life comparing it to your present life - why are you limiting yourself to what your present life is providing you? Why are you not presently living your happiest life? Who is censoring you?
8. Remove the facets of your current life that do not contribute to your imagined happiest life
Make a conscious decision that you are responsible for the facets of your current life that do not contribute to your happiest life & that YOU have to be the person to change them
9. Untangle your habits/commitments/obligations that do not contribute to your happiest life
Radical honesty is necessary to untangle commitments & obligations that are making you unhappy - only you can determine what they are & the consequences/price you are willing to pay to be free of anything that causes you unhappiness
10. Live your happiest life without trying to change anyone else
You really have no right to try to change anyone else since you do not know what makes them happy - change yourself first, to make your happiest life - then live & let live
