Create Your Dream Lifestyle: A Step-by-Step Guide

Reflect on what you value in life and what you stand for. Consider family, friends, happiness, health, freedom, and financial independence.

“Understanding your values creates the foundation of your lifestyle.”

Identify major categories in your life: career, health, finances, relationships, hobbies, education.

Create 2-3 major goals in each area. Add specific, actionable steps for each goal.

“The main thing here is to actually add steps beside each goal so then we have an action plan to follow.”

Wake up at a consistent time, get active, plan out the day, journal, and practice meditation or mindfulness.

“One of the best things you can do to be productive and happy is have a clear routine that you can follow.”

Use Google Calendar or a similar tool to create time blocks for work, school, studying, errands, and other responsibilities.

“Create time blocks throughout every single day when you know you're working, you're studying or doing certain things and then you know ahead of time.”

Include reading, planning out the next day, relaxation, and reflecting on wins and losses.

Replace binging Netflix and social media with books, YouTube videos, articles, and podcasts about self-improvement, entrepreneurship, and career.

Find a form of exercise you can stick to: weightlifting, running, sports, walking, rock climbing.

Create a healthy meal plan with protein, complex carbs, fruits, and veggies. Reduce processed foods and junk food.

Journal your thoughts, feelings, and goals to increase self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Meditate daily for emotional regulation, concentration, and memory improvement. Try visualization or breathing meditation.

Put effort into meeting someone new every day. Socialize at the gym, work, school, and while running errands.
