Mind Alchemy Day 6
Today is another great exercise to help you think about what you ultimately want to do with your life and what direction to take.
Your Perfect Day is an exercise used by a lot of coaches to help clients clarify what they really want to do with their life, and it's an extremely powerful exercise to introduce images into your mind of where you want to be, say in the next 1 year, 5 years, 10 years.
I have asked clients with alcohol issues to do this, typically here is how it goes:
They describe their perfect day for around 10 minutes and go through all the scenes in their head and tell me about it. 99% of the clients with alcohol issues don't evermention having a drink in their perfect day. When I point this out to them at the end of the exercise a lot of them are stunned by the thought that their perfect day would not involve alcohol in any way. It's another way of moving forward: getting the client to admit, visually, that they do not want alcohol in their lives.
The exercise has a similar effect on clients I life coach for. When the exercise is done correctly you may find some things out about yourself you hadn't previously thought about.
Take time to really get into this exercise, it can take 30 "“ 60 minutes so make sure you allow some time to complete it. It's better to do it in one sitting, that way you are working on it on a subconscious level, and not thinking about it too much, your subconscious already knows all the answers to the questions, but if you think about it too much your conscious mind gets in the way.
