Day 7: Give your Life a Narrative

Using day 6's excercise create a narrative of your life.

To express your response to this exercise, you should take a fresh look at your life map and write out in paragraph form exactly what your life would look like with all seven areas combined. You should be as specific as possible – you want to paint an inspiring mental picture with your narrative. Use I have and I am statements.

My friends are a very important part of my life. So to express my level of gratitude for their presence in my life, I decided to host a dinner party tonight in their honor. If you know anything about me, I enjoy hosting events, not cooking. So of course, I went and got Carrabas to cater tonight’s dinner. It helped getting a caterer because my job is so demanding. Working as a consultant to many up-coming businesses can be hard on the mind, body and soul! Thank goodness I’m cut out perfectly for this job. I enjoy helping people turn ideas into profit! Having gotten my M.B.A has definitely helped my credibility in the consultant field, and also helped me raise my rates! Oh the money! It feels so good J Looking back, I now see that if I had never gotten a hold on my finances, making more money would not truly have helped my situation. I would just be spending more money, on more things I didn’t need. Now I save at least half of my leisure fund. Don’t get me wrong, I splurge *holding up my new chanel bag* but, now the difference is, is that I can honestly afford to. I weigh 130 lbs, and am a proud vegan of two years. My skin feels better than ever, I have more energy then ever and I just feel better about myself all around. My daughter is getting smarter and smarter and I love how she comes and tells me everything! I enjoy being there for her. Most of all I am happy with my husband. I remember the time when I honestly wasn’t sure if I could ever be happy being married. I knew I could be content, but the question was, would I be happy? I am very happy.

I don't believe the last part. Im not sure if I'm ready for this excercise. I don't know why I can't visualize myself happy. Wow. thats a huge problem.
