In Blog, How To by Amanda Nicole SmithLeave a Comment

Have you been wanting to clear out old habits and things weighing you down or holding you back? Are you struggling to reach your goals due to unnecessary distractions? Do you need to change or tweak your habits to better align with your new goals or outlook on life? If you answered yes, you’re ready to recreate, or purify, your lifestyle.

A lifestyle is like a puzzle: first, identify all the pieces, then organize and assemble them one by one until you achieve a cohesive picture—your envisioned life.

What does it mean to purify your lifestyle?

Purifying your lifestyle involves clearing out old, unsatisfying elements and replacing them with fulfilling ones. This includes values, priorities, goals, habits, self-image, and expectations. Often, we get stuck in routines that no longer serve us. If you feel stuck or burdened, it’s time to reevaluate every aspect of your life and build a new routine aligned with your evolving situation.

Start by questioning and reflecting on your daily actions. Ask yourself about your values, priorities, and goals, and whether your actions align with them. For deeper exploration, sign up for a membership, which offers detailed questions and examples to help you clearly identify and achieve your ideal lifestyle.

Let’s delve into some key elements of your lifestyle to explore.

1. Identify Self

If you ask enough questions, you’re bound to find the answers you seek.

I am

Your first step is to identify who you are and what you want.

“I am” statements can be incredibly useful. Start thinking positively about yourself by repeating affirmations such as “I am strong,” “I am kind and loving,” “I am a go-getter,” or “I am peaceful.” Focus on attributes you possess now or aspire to embody in the future.

Values

What do you value most at this moment? Is it free time, money, relationships, beauty, cleanliness, or intelligence? Reflect on what truly matters to you and what makes you feel good about your life and its direction. Sometimes, what we think we value might not be significant in the big picture.

Values can conflict and must be balanced for the best outcome. A common conflict is between time, money, and quality. For instance, saving money might reduce quality, or saving time might increase costs. Finding a balance is crucial.

Priorities

Identify what is most important to you and where you will invest your time, energy, and resources. Knowing your priorities helps you focus on what truly matters.

Interests

What activities do you enjoy? Hobbies can clear your mind and provide fulfillment. Make time for hobbies by adding them to your priority list and calendar. If you find yourself bored or stressed, consider new hobbies that engage you mentally, physically, or spiritually.

Skills

Consider what you are good at and what you want to improve. Align your skills with your values. For example, if you value saving money, learn skills that allow you to do tasks yourself, such as cooking or simple repairs. Building skills can help you live out your values daily.

2. Create Lifestyle

Your next step is to figure out what your ideal life looks like. After drafting everything mentioned above, revisit and refine it to create a cohesive vision.

Visualize all aspects of your life. Reflect on what you expect versus what you have, and how past actions and habits have shaped your current situation.

Creating your ideal life starts with knowing exactly what you want and determining the steps to achieve it. If your values, priorities, and actions don’t align with your vision, adjust them accordingly.

The more detailed your vision, the clearer and more attainable it becomes. Clarity and focus make achieving goals easier. If you need further guidance, consider writing everything down or signing up for a membership for more in-depth questions and insights.

3.Recreate Habits

The next steps involve thoroughly examining your actions by observing and replacing specific habits. Habits can include anything from where and how you shop to how you store your food. Adjusting these habits can help you achieve goals like saving money, improving health, losing weight, and building relationships.

Habits are recurring thoughts, words, or actions that shape your life. It’s crucial to understand your habits so you can either replace them completely or modify them to better align with your goals.

Identify Specific Habits

Create Macro Routines

Creating macro routines involves establishing a structured weekly schedule that ensures all essential tasks and activities are accomplished. This approach helps prevent important activities, such as hobbies, from being overlooked and promotes a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

Why Macro Routines Matter

Macro routines provide clarity and consistency, making it easier to manage time effectively. They help integrate hobbies into your daily life, preventing unproductive habits like excessive TV watching. By structuring your time, you can align your actions with your values and goals, leading to a more satisfying and productive life.

Benefits of Macro Routines

  1. Efficiency: Streamline your weekly tasks, ensuring nothing is forgotten.
  2. Balance: Incorporate hobbies and relaxation into your routine.
  3. Fulfillment: Engage in activities that bring joy and satisfaction.
  4. Alignment: Ensure your daily actions align with your values and goals.
  5. Productivity: Maximize your time, reducing stress and increasing accomplishment.
