Life Makeover

Life Makeover Exercise (inspired from internet marketing  success guy Frank Kern’s Mass Control seminar)

This is a little visualization exercise that Frank did a few years ago, and when he found the pages he wrote answering questions like these a couple years later it blew him away to see he was actually living that life.  Truly a demonstration of the power of visualization.

So go through this exercise and include as much detail as possible when you answer the questions.  Just use your imagination, describing what you see, hear, smell, touch, etc.  Incorporate all the senses as often as possible.  Include how you feel.  And something really important – do it all in the present tense.  “I am, I have, I do” etc.  That’s critical, because you want to train your mind to think it’s happening now.  And while I’m on the subject of present tense, you always want to do the same thing in goal setting – always say something like, “It’s March 15 and I am a healthy, slim 140 pounds and exercise 4 times per week,” instead of “In 3 months I will have lost 10 pounds.”  You end up setting yourself up for failure because the goal is always 3 months away…

OK, go ahead print out this page and work through it.  If you’re giving it your all you’ll have 10-20 pages written!

With no limitations or consequences, my perfect, average day looks like this:

Consequences=stuff I could get “into trouble” for.
