WORKBOOK

INVENTORY

The Level 10 Life Inventory is a great way to assess your current situation across a variety of categories. Rate each category on a scale of 1 to 10, one meaning you’re absolutely not satisfied with the current situation, and ten meaning that things could not be better. The goal of this exercise is to give you an idea of what you should be working on going forward.

YOUR IDEAL LIFE

Write down key points in each category describing what you want your ideal life to look like. Use the extra notes section at the end if you run out of space! This worksheet is designed to give you an idea of the things you want to strive for. Writing down your life vision makes it more real and creates a commitment that compels you to move forward and manifest your goals.

In order to achieve your goals, you can work backward by first describing your ideal life. What do you want your days consist of? What would you do in the mornings, evenings, and nights? Where would you be and who would you be with? What experiences would you have? What your professional life would be like? The goal of this exercise is to give you a vision to work toward - it’s not set in stone, and can change as you go along.

Next, do a brain dump and write for 10-15 minutes on what you want to achieve in life. There are no right answers here, and the more you write, the better, since you want to get all your ideas on paper. No dream is too big! If you start to blank, think of some role models you look up to (they might be your parents, someone in your community, a friend, a celebrity, etc.) and write down what you admire about them that you’d like to manifest in your life as well.

places, new foods, etc.

REFLECTION

Taking responsibility for your own actions, emotions, and current situation is the first step toward breaking out of old patterns and changing your life for the better. This is because all the things that you actually take responsibility for are the things that you can change or improve them going forward. By answering the following questions, you will gain some insight into the things that are holding you back, and what you can do to overcome those obstacles.

Write down your problem(s)

How am I responsible for this problem? Have I made some bad choices? Have I tried EVERYTHING that’s in my power to improve things? (if you have, count the things you’ve actually done)

If you solve this problem, how would your life (or the life of others) improve? Is this problem worth solving?

What can I do to start making things better? What steps can I start making today to start improving the situation?

How would taking responsibility for my RELATIONSHIPS look like? What steps must I take? How would this improve my life?

How would taking responsibility for my FINANCES look like? What steps must I take? How would this improve my life?

How would taking responsibility for my CAREER look like? What steps must I take? How would this improve my life?

How would taking responsibility for my HEALTH look like? What steps must I take? How would this improve my life?

How would taking responsibility for my WELLBEING look like? What steps must I take? How would this improve my life?

Oftentimes, making progress with a problem starts with a simple shift in mindset. According to researcher Carol Dweck, there are two types of mindsets - fixed mindset and growth mindset. The former means that you believe that some quality or trait (intelligence for example) is innate and you have what you were given by nature. The essence of the latter, however, is that you can improve on any quality as long as you put in the effort. Therefore, with a growth mindset, you’re much more likely to take action to achieve your goals. Below are some examples of a growth vs. fixed mindset.

GROWTH MINDSET

FIXED MINDSET

CHALLENGES

CHALLENGES

Challenges are a way for me to get better

I try to avoid challenges so I don’t look stupid

DESIRES

DESIRES

I’ll try new things

I’ll just stick to what I know

SKILLS

SKILLS

I can always improve

I’m either good at it or not. If I’m not, it’s okay

OBSTACLES

OBSTACLES

I’ll change my approach until I succeed

I’m just not good at it and that’s the way it is

SUCCESS OF OTHERS

SUCCESS OF OTHERS

I’m inspired by their success. Maybe I have something to learn from their success.

It’s unfair that they’re succeeding and I am not.

CRITICISM

CRITICISM

I can learn from the feedback I receive

I feel threatened by the criticism I get

In this exercise, try to identify your own mindset in a variety of categories. Then, write down what would be q more productive mode of thinking instead. What mindset will help you take action and actively work on a solution, rather than just accept things the way they are? On the next page you can also identify your own unique "limiting beliefs", and how you can reframe them.

How do I react to challenges? How can I improve?

How do I react to criticism? How I can improve?

How I react when I don’t know what to do next? Is this reaction productive?

Am I taking responsibility for my own actions and current situation? If yes/no, how so? Is this helping me to move forward? Why or why not?

In this section, try to identify other beliefs that are holding you back and how you can reframe them to be more productive. For example, you may have been taught when you were little that, “money does not grow on trees”. While it’s true in a sense, a more productive way of thinking would be that, “I will be rewarded for the value I provide for others - the more I give, the more I will receive.”

Current Belief

Better Alternative

Current Belief

Better Alternative

Current Belief

Better Alternative

Current Belief

Better Alternative

A belief that is holding you back: “ ex. I can’t change myself.”

Where did this belief come from?

How is this belief harmful?

What is a better alternative for this belief?

This exercise is loosely based on a section from Tim Ferriss’s “4 Hour Work Week”, and involves thinking about the worst possible outcomes of an action you know you should take but are too afraid to execute. This allows you to write three categories for each action. First, the worst possible outcomes. Second, how to prevent these outcomes. And third, how you can mitigate the adverse effects when these outcomes truly come to pass. Fear setting should help gain a sense of clarity on your fears, and make it easier to take a leap on things you are afraid to do. The final category to fill out is what would happen long-term if you decided not take the desired action. This helps you push yourself toward taking action and moving forward. What action do you wish to take?

The worst outcomes

How to prevent

How to fix

What will happen long-term (1 year, 5 years, 10 years+) if I don’t take this action?

In this section, you’ll be able to rate your current relationships to a scale of 1 to 10. In each box, you’ll be able to write down information on a current relationship and give it a rating. In addition write down what you’re happy with and what needs improving & why is this relationship important to you How are these relationships supporting you in the life you’re trying to build?

STEPS TO TAKE

This exercise is designed for you to get a snapshot of your life across variety of categories. This way, you have an idea of you’re happy with and what you can improve. Rate each category from 1 to 10, 1 meaning that you’re totally unsatisfied, and 10 meaning that you’re over the moon. Then on the next page, fill out what you’re happy with and why, and what needs some work and how you think you can improve the situation.

AFFIRMATION LIST

In this part, you’ll write down positive affirmations that will have a positive impact on the aspects of your life you’re trying to improve. A few important points: First, write your affirmations in present tense using the “I ” pronoun. Second, use affirmative and positive words (try to avoid can’t, won’t, shouldn't, etc). For example, “I’m full of energy and always take action”, instead of “I don't procrastinate”. Third, it’s important to build a habit of using these affirmations when you’re doing the opposite of what you know you should be doing.

Friends/Family ex. “I’m loving and giving in my relationships”. “I’m in control of the people I let into my life”

Finance ex. “I’m capable of creating my dream financial life through hard work and dedication”

Career ex. “I’m always striving to develop myself professionally”

Health/Fitness ex. “I’m in control of my physical fitness”

Relationship ex. “I have people who love me”
