Next, you are now about to create a vision for your life for the Summer season:

8. Embrace Self-Care: Prioritise self-care and wellness activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul. Whether it’s practicing yoga in the park, taking leisurely walks, or indulging in creative hobbies, make time for activities that rejuvenate and energize you.
9. Celebrate Achievements: As you progress towards your summer goals, take time to celebrate your achievements and milestones along the way. Acknowledge your progress and reward yourself for your efforts.
10. Stay Present: Finally, remember to stay present and fully immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of each moment. Embrace the magic of summer as it unfolds, savoring every sun-drenched memory and cherishing the gift of the present.

“Summer: hot, sunshine, long days. Action and activity. Peak growth. Play, joy, creativity. This is the time to be out in the world, meeting people, producing, creating, making it happen!”

Below I share the process I use with prompts to get you started.

So here we go….

• What time do you wake up? 
• Who is beside you? 
• What does your home look and feel like?
• What do you do when you first get up? 
• What does your wardrobe look like; what is it filled with?
• How will you be spending the weekends?
• How does your body look and feel? What is your energy like? 
• How do you spend your evenings? 
• How do you spend your leisure time? Who are your friends? 
• What events do you attend? 
• Where do you travel to? 
• Where do you eat out? 
• What are your last thoughts before you go to sleep?  

Once you’ve answered all of the questions above, you are going to map out your perfect day. 

• Begin with your first thoughts upon waking.  
• Continue with your dream working day.  
• Include personal and lifestyle elements to balance work and lifestyle.  
• Allude to the wealth you will be creating.  
• You MUST feel it, taste it, KNOW it is on the horizon if you do the work. 

So let’s go. Start mapping out your PERFECT day.
