365 Ways to Start Over: Day #30 – Seven Questions to “Reboot Your Life”
Find a few quiet moments and sit down with a fresh piece of paper and a pencil. The answers you are about to generate are so revealing you won’t want to scribble them on scrap paper or pencil them in between other notes you are taking. Make sure there are no distractions around you visual or auditory – just pleasant inspirational things to look at or listen to. The answers to these questions may have many parts so have extra paper near by.
Reboot Your Life Questions:
1. Now what is the one wildly out of reach aspiration you would do if you knew you could not fail?
2. What do you keep telling yourself is the reason you can’t do that?
3. What are you doing instead?
4. What has this mindset and the behaviors associated with it cost you?
5. How would the results be different if you reached your aspiration?
6. What would you be doing differently in this fulfilled state?
7. When you are in this totally rewarded and satisfied place where everything in your life is in unison and energy flows effortlessly through you as you live your life purpose every day – what empowering thought is going through your mind?
The secret to Rebooting Your Life” is simple. Replace #2 with #7. Here’s how you are going to do that.
Reboot Your Life Plan:
1. Write the statement from #7 in bright colorful letters on index cards or paper (I call these – Reboot Reminders) and tape them everywhere you spend time: the rim of your computer screen, bathroom mirror, refrigerator, dresser mirror, desk, in your car.
2. When the limiting head trash of #2 comes flooding back into your mind, erase it and replace it with #7. Go to tone of the Reboot Reminders that you posted and write down something differently you have done to reboot your head trash toward life purpose and date it. These dates and notes will remind you that you CAN make change – sustainable change. You already have! Start now!
