A few years ago, one of my teachers gave us a Holiday Pep Talk before we left class and put forth a few pieces of information that I never forgot.
The words that came out of his mouth hit ready ears and they changed my life for good.
Accept your condition.
What did he really mean?
He meant to accept exactly where you are right now in your life and understand how you got that.
It means looking at all different areas of your life - relationships, body, thoughts and emotions, and your environment (work, natural, etc) - and seeing things as they are...
Not as you want them to be.
Why is it absolutely critical to do this?
It builds the foundation for the next steps of where you want to go
Going through this process allows you to step right into building a new life without trying to escape your old one.
If you can accept where you are right now and accept that everything you've chosen in the past has led you right to this point, you will be on your way to creating a completely new life.
So, auditing your life...what does that actually mean in terms of implementation?
My favorite way of doing this is getting on a huge chalkboard and drawing the whole thing out in terms of, "Where am I now?"
When you engage in this practice you get everything that is floating around in your head on paper and it helps you to start sorting things out.
When you audit your life, you give yourself the ability to go, "Okay, where do I want to be? What do I see for myself?"
The other piece of this puzzle is to envision what is in the future for you and to work backwards from there.
Do this step by step and it will help you create a fantastic battle plan.
This will give you a milestone based path instead of going into something completely blind. Then, out of those big milestones, write little lists underneath of, "What do I know now & what do I need to know?"
That what you need to know list should be a hell of a lot longer than the what you know list.
So take some time to seriously understand where you are at and how you need to go to where you want to go.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
This process will do you wonders.
