What would it take for you to start living your ideal life? It doesn’t have to difficult to achieve.
Here are some steps you can follow and start living your dream lifestyle.
Where do you want to go?
What do you see as your ideal life? What goals do you have? You need to know where you are going so you can define your ideal life. When you know what you want, you will be able to create your ideal life.
Define the person who can quickly reach your goals.
When you know what type of life you want, you need to start thinking about the type of person who can make this life happen.
- What do you need to do to go from your present state to where you want to be quickly?
- What would this person be like?

These are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.
What are the habits of your ideal self?
You need to consider many different things and areas. Here are some suggestions.
- How often does this person brush their teeth? Does he floss after every brushing? When does he floss?
- When does he go to bed and when does he get up? Does he read when in bed? What types of material does he read? Does he read regularly at other times during the day?
- Describe his morning routine.
- Does he work out and for how long and how often? What is his workout routine? What is his weight and what does he eat?
- Does he journal daily?
- When waiting in traffic, what does he think about?
What are the traits of your ideal self?
There is more to a person than just their habits. Here are some traits you should consider.
- What does your ideal self wear, drive, their hairstyle?
- What attitudes does he hold towards dating? Would he easily approach an attractive stranger? Would he only date one person or many at a time?
- Is he calculating, bold or cautious?
- Is he a giving, selfish or practical person?
- What about spiritual or religious feelings?
- What values and beliefs does he hold?
- Does he have specific skills?
You can ask about anything at all. Think that you are creating a movie character.
Use the SWISH technique
This NLP technique is powerful for encouraging you to start behaving like your ideal self.
- Create a clear visual of your ideal self. Include all of the habits, characteristics and the qualities the ideal should have. There should be no background for this image, only a blank screen with your ideal self image standing in front of the screen looking out at you.
When you are not behaving like your ideal self, quickly bring up the ideal self image and start to immediately behave as the image would.
Start
From the characteristics and habits that you have listed, pick a couple of the easier ones and start to include them into your life. After they have been incorporated, pick a couple more from the list and repeat until the list has been exhausted.
Find Supporting Evidence
Draw attention to yourself and your actions when you are behaving like your ideal person.
Journal
A journal helps you to keep track of how you are progressing. You also get into the habit of focusing on those parts of your life that are important. You will stay motivated when you are aware of how far you have progressed.
