MaXIMIze - 7 Questions to Ponder

In the last blog post I mentioned seven questions that will help you focus on living your best life now.

I had written these down during a training course I was taking for work back in about 2010 or so, rewrote them in a journal entry nearly three years ago to the day, and shared them in a post in the previous iteration of this blog. Here they are:

• What are the three most important things in your life right now?

• What are your three main goals for life?

• If you had only six months to live, what would you do differently? (I've thought of this one a lot recently, with the story of the 90 year-old woman diagnosed with cancer who chose to live life and see the world rather than go through treatments that may or may not extend her life.)

• If you came into a lot of money, what would you do differently?

• What have you always wanted to do but where afraid to try? (again, the 90 year-old woman mentioned above...)

• What activities give you a sense of importance (purpose) and/or a sense of joy?

• If there were no boundaries, what would you want to achieve, do, and/or have?

Take the time to answer these questions.

Then, in another session, answer THIS question - what is stopping you from doing/having these things right here, right now? And I mean what is REALLY stopping you - not the first blush, superficial answer.

To really get to the heart of what is stopping you from having and/or doing what it is you truly want to, I recommend employing the "5 Whys," which have been discussed in several posts on this blog.

Once you get to the heart of what is really preventing you from attaining or doing what it is you want or feel you need to in order to live your best life now, then you can see what the true roadblocks are, and you can develop action plans to deal with those roadblocks effectively.

One way to do this is to "keep your eye on the prize." This is where manifestation boards come in. A manifestation board will put a visual reminder of what it is you want or need to live your best life now in front of you - to enable you to see the "prize" you are aiming for

We'll go into a bit more detail on these in the next post.

CALL TO ACTION: Answer the questions in this post; then use the "5 Whys" to get to the heart of what is stopping you from living your best live now.

CHECK-IN: How are you doing with the other Calls to Action thus far? Has this exercise caused you to reevaluate your vision or goals, or has it brought them more clearly into focus?

NEXT TIME: We will discuss manifestation boards in relation to the six main areas of our lives.

Until then - Namaste!
