If you haven’t already made a sketch or collage of your ideal life, now is definitely the time to start! The Ideal Life Program is all about taking extremely good care of yourself and it is about living your ideal life so it helps to know exactly what you are aiming for. And remember, go for what you truly want!
If you have already made a sketch of your ideal life, dig it out and post it where you can see it. The key here is to have a visual image to plant in your brain. Make it even better. Cut out pictures from magazines that represent your ideal life add color. Add descriptive details. Figure out roughly how much each of the items in your ideal life will cost and start a separate savings account specifically for one of the things you want the most. One client created an Ideal Life Board using a cork board with pictures and envelopes with the picture of what she wanted on the outside of each envelope. Every time she had a bit of extra money, she’d tuck it into one of the envelopes. A colleague of mine gets styrofoam pizza boards from her local pizzeria and uses them to create a collage of her ideal life. There are no rules other than to have fun and create a visual image of your ideal life.
Ten minute option: Make a written list of everything that would be in your ideal life. You can turn this into a collage at a later date.

Some of my clients have even made it more fun by making a party of the task. Invite some friends over and ask them to bring their own whiteboard and scissors, glue and old magazines and then have some fun.
Enjoy!
