Can you design your happiness?

It has been said that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This is as true for individuals and couples as it is for leaders. You can design and build your happiness by examining both the physical and spiritual parts of your life and making regular and simple adjustments in the areas of your choice. Here’s how it can be done:

1. Do a holistic (mind/body/spirit) assessment of your life satisfaction by examining the following areas:

• Career
• Finance
• Spirituality/Religion
• Fitness/Diet
• Family
• Friends
• Significant Other
• Living Space
• Recreation

2. Focus on the one or two areas that jump off the page and say, “This part of your life needs some attention!”

3. Think deeply about your areas of change.

• What is happening in this area of your life?
• What would this area of your life look like ideally?
• How will you move from where you are to where you want to be in that area?
• What is blocking your movement?
• How can you overcome your obstacles?
• How will you find the support you need to make the changes you want?

4. Develop daily habits that move you in the direction you want to go.

5. Enjoy your emerging new life and repeat this process for each area.

This life design process is simple, but it’s not easy. A professional life coach is trained to patiently and deliberately walk this journey with you… to stand in your greatness even when you can’t see it… to hold you accountable to what you want most deeply. It’s time to begin the journey to your dreams.
