after having some rough weeks I decided
to rise from the ashes like a phoenix
and to commit to designing the lifestyle
that I want to live now if you are
looking to improve your life or you're
just tired of complaining about the same
things every day this video is for you
today I'm going to share how we can
reinvent ourselves and design the
lifestyle that we want for the purpose
of the video I have broken the process
into three major steps envision plan and
take action so first you need to sit
down and take some time to envision what
your ideal lifestyle would look like
you can grab a warm cup of coffee in
this case I went for cold coffee and
start describing the day in your life
here are some questions to guide you in
the process where are you now
what do you dislike and want to change
from your current situation but also
what do you like and what you appreciate
of your lifestyle this is important
because sometimes we have an
all-or-nothing perspective and we kind
of forget that we actually have things
in our lives that bring us joy and that
are working properly next you want to
write down what an ideal they would look
for you and after that you can also
answer some questions like where do you
want to get where do you want to be two
years from now and five years from now
how would you like to feel how would you
like to be as for me I have decided that
I want to be more experienced oriented
and also more flexible with myself I
want to have a curated life and look
presentable at all times but also I want
to feel comfortable in my own skin
and I really want to have good health
another thing that I want is to have a
better time management since I want to
be able to get things done but still
enjoy my life and have leisure time
furthermore I want to be capable of
focusing and getting in the flow of the
activities that I do so that I can
basically enjoy them more but most
importantly I want to feel good
and to find joy in my life their first
stop being sad and anxious now
envisioning is very important since it
can help us to have a clear vision of
where we want to head to so I tried to
use this tool for a few minutes every
day basically I take some time to
visualize where I want to be and to
remind myself about my goals this is
specially useful for those days where
I'm not feeling very motivated you can
do this before sleeping because ambition
in your next day and mentally going over
the routine that you will be doing can
actually help you to keep yourself
committed it is related to the law of
attraction which is a very important
topic that I will be discussing in
another video so once you have all of
the goals written down and you have
envisioned where you want to get you can
move to the second step
planning how to take action many of us
tend to daydream about our ideal life so
without making an actual plan of how
we're going to get there sometimes we
are so called oriented that would not
create any system to make improvements
so in this step you need to get a
concrete action plan that you will
commit to it is important to start by
small steps so for each of your goals
you want to write down something
actionable that you can include into
your daily routine but bear in mind that
it should be easy enough for you to
stick to it so basically you have to ask
yourself what small things can I do
every single day to start cultivating
the lifestyle that I want now there is
one book that has been pretty much
life-changing for me and I really
recommend it which is atomic habits from
James clear and in the description box I
will have a sort of little review that I
made from the book in case you want to
read it and see whether you're
interested in it but it is just an
amazing book to read about habits and
how to create this
so that we are aiming for related to my
goals for instance for my health I have
decided to commit to prepare myself a
grey smoothie every day to eat half my
plate worth of veggies and to get at
least 30 minutes of movement when I wake
up now as you can see these things might
seem small at first glance but if I do
them every day in the course of let's
say six months I will have had 182
smoothies in at least 5,400 60 minutes
of exercise which is around 91 hours now
this makes a lot more impact that I'm
killing myself on just one workout a
week and not sticking to it and
basically quitting and being
inconsistent same goes for the fact that
I want to live a sort of luxurious life
and let me explain what I mean by a
luxury to me it is keeping your space
clean and organized and having a curated
lifestyle so every day I want to take
ten minutes to keep my space neat and
presentable same goes for small things
like for instance prepping my outfit the
night before so that when I wake up I
have a nice experience in a sort of
luxurious moment with something so
ordinary as getting dressed also I will
be taking some extra minutes to give
myself a nice hair too and to put on a
tiny bit of makeup to look presentable
even if I'm not going to leave the house
so as you can see I am incorporating
small things that do not require a lot
of effort but that definitely help me
get closer to the lifestyle that I want
for myself what I like about the system
is that it does not require super big
overpowering day to night
transformations the basic idea here is
to implement small and actionable things
that can actually add up over time and
that we can stick to next week I will be
sharing some of the things that I'm
actually including in my routine and you
will see I have created a simple to
follow daily plan that allows me to make
small improvements in the areas that
I want for my ideal lifestyle we're
about that next week so do not forget to
subscribe and hit the bell so that
YouTube tells you about my next video
one of the reasons why we failed to get
things we want is because we stay in the
stage of planning and envisioning but we
do not take action and even though it is
important to have a plan to follow we
need to get into action for things to
improve one thing that we must always
have in mind is that we cannot expect
different results if we keep doing the
same things so in order for something to
change we need to do things differently
basically you want to try to make it
easy for yourself to do things for
instance preparing your work across the
day before and laying the yoga mat in
the floor can actually help you to get
your workout done with a lot more ease
or another example is that if you want
to stop using your phone so much for
better focus you can use time management
apps or maybe turn it off while working
or tell a family member to hide it from
you for a certain time window habits are
way easier when you do not need to rely
on your willpower
besides that you want to set a specific
time of your day for your little habits
so that the chances of you actually
doing them and not skipping them are
higher now the last tip of this section
is to keep yourself accountable this is
actually a great tool to help you keep
focused in achieving what you desire you
can for instance share this video with a
friend and commit together basically
motivating each other
maybe also write down a calendar and
tick down the things that you complete
every day another thing you can do is to
find a nice community to share your
progress with I will have a post on
patreon where you are more than welcome
to join the group for commitment and it
will be free and open to everyone I will
be also sharing some downloadable
material in that page so you might want
to have a look at it for instance by
making this video and sharing this with
you my friends I am making myself
accountable with you now you can also
hold yourself accountable with me in
this community by commenting on the
video - now this topic has two parts
this video was part one
and next week I will be posting part two
where I will be sharing the exact
routine that I created for myself and I
will also have the link to both videos
in the description box and remember that
I will have a printable sheet with all
of the questions that you need to answer
to make the process a lot easier for you
just check the link in the description
box down below remember to subscribe and
to hit the bell for part two of the
video and also if you're interested I
can make some sort of blogs or like
further videos to share my progress hope
