plan a perfect day

Creative visualization can be tremendously satisfying and effective. One of the most revolutionary things I have every done was to begin to imagine my life before I lived it. It literally changed my life. This is what you are going to do, and it's *easy!*

Money and time are no object.

Imagine that you have reached all of your goals. Imagine that you are at the peak of your personal and professional life. The alarm clock has begun to ring and you roll over and turn it off.

Where are you?
Who is in the bed with you? anyone?
What are you wearing?
What time is it?
What does the room look like? (interior designer or self decorated? what colors?)
What is the first thing you do? Shower? Go to the kitchen?
It's breakfast time, what do you eat?
Who is there? (kids, nanny, housekeeper, spouse, dog, cat??)
When do you dress?
Imagine it is a weekday, do you work?
When do you dress? What do you wear on a weekday?
Do you exercise in the morning? read the paper? what do you do before you leave for work?
Time for work, where are you? Do you work at home or go to an office?
If you don't work at home, do you drive? walk?
If you have kids, how do they get to school?
Where does your significant other go?

What time do you get home? How did you get there?
What do you eat for dinner? Who prepares it?
