Lifebook offered me the possibility to think in a structured way about my life. I had never done that before, never done it so broadly, and above all, it offered me the possibility to choose. It offered me so much inspiration, it shared so much knowledge, it gave me lots to think about but ultimately - for the first time in my life - I chose to be free to choose. I chose to be thrilled about the prospect of choosing, of creating my life. It is one of the most liberating things ever.
I really want to thank you Jon and Missy and the team for putting your heart and soul in creating this programme. It really comes across and at times the introductions to the different sections moved me to tears not just because it pushed a button but sometimes also because I could feel the emotion, the depth of investment, the depth of care from your part.
I also want to thank the tribe. It was so interesting to read what people were sharing, the support from the ambassadors, the reactions, and support for one another. I never thought an online community could be so important, that it could work. It did and it did it also for me. One time - it was the social category - I really hit a low point, I communicated it and the support I got I will never forget. It was real and I will always be grateful for it that people from all over the world, united online by this programme, could mean so much for each other.
So, what now? What has it done to my life so far?
First of all, I learned that I am free to choose my life, that I come first, always and that choosing for myself means choosing for others, that the more value I create, the better my quality of life, the better I feel in my own skin, the happier I am, the more I can contribute to others. I never saw this so clearly and it is now deeply embedded in my soul.
Secondly, it really made me focus on the value I can create and this has been enlightening. It meant I had to value myself and define what it is and how to increase it. I am a multi-faceted person, I have several gifts and I have given myself permission to develop them all, knowing that actually they are all part of the same thing, being a catalyst for the life of other people. I do this through painting, through becoming an RTT therapist (I enrolled after the career section, it became so clear to me that I had to do that) and through offering Silence as a transformative force.
My age has never come into play. It never even crossed my mind in the whole Lifebook process. I feel so energised, so full of life, so beautiful and ready to go.
Lifebook also drew attention to sections in which I do not feel so fulfilled.
My financial category wasn't up to scratch but strangely enough, it has given me the motivation to get to grips with it and it is one of the things I will do first in the weeks to come, getting to grips with it and making a plan.
My social life was weak and is still rather weak and yet I see improvement because I am changing on the inside and immediately things, contacts change on the outside: the way I react to people and the way people react to me, and this is great.
The way I feel about my family has changed. Having grown up in a dysfunctional family, being different from my other siblings, having lived in different countries, I always thought that my friends were my family and that my blood relations were not that important. Until now that is. In the past weeks, I noticed how I am having contact with them more often, how I am doing that very consciously, and how it gives me joy and inner peace.
I am giving the house a 'make-over', I am making it my home -with a very limited budget- but I am making a home that reflects the three keywords for my quality of life: Abundance, Beauty, and Peace.
I am meeting a beautiful, new life partner. I know it. I feel it and I will be blissfully happy for the rest of my life in a stable, sensual, sexy, fun, interesting, and deeply committed bond. Gorgeous friends will enrich our lives and we will be living in a fantastic home from which I can see the forest and hear water.
I am enjoying financial abundance, am respected and an expert in my field, am living a very high quality of life and I am happy, contented, at peace with myself and the world.
While doing the different categories, spontaneously an integration process was happening, things started falling into place, bringing elements of different categories together. The visualisation exercise at the end was the cherry on the cake, however. It is very difficult to describe the energetic process that happened during that exercise. It really felt as if there was a huge realigning process happening, it all came together, all looking, joining to go in the same direction. It was emotionally moving and organic, physical. Doing this exercise was such a reward for the deep and hard work of the past few weeks.
People who have never done this might find it difficult to understand how profound this whole process is, how it shakes you up, and then beautifully, spontaneously reorganises you, realigns you, driving you to thrive, to become the best you can be.
Thank you so much... and see you in the 'Mastery' process.
