Exercises to Visualize Change

We’re diving deep into identifying areas in your life that are due for some improvement. From organization to limiting beliefs, we all have areas that need clarity and change before we can carry out the vision for our lives.

Today, we introduce you to two exercises we use to visualize the life we want. The “will no longer tolerate list” is an exercise where you identify those pesky things in your life that you no longer want to tolerate. Then we dive into the “wouldn’t it be cool” exercise, which helps overcome those pesky barriers and taps into your positive energy for dreaming. We’ll help you remove the things that need to go and envision what you most desire so that you can have everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

So, if you’re ready to create a life you love and strengthen your relationship in the process, tune in. It’s time to turn your dreams into reality by implementing exercises to visualize change.

You can make your next step count by finding balance on your path to pursuing your passions – but your next step isn’t your forever. Your next step in life doesn’t have to be a lifelong commitment. We’ll share our strategies, from considering income streams like courses, events, and coaching, to staying open to new ideas while ensuring each next step aligns with your ultimate goal.

Well, we’ll introduce you to the concept of “your next,” a powerful tool that’s helped us move forward in both our careers and personal lives. We’ll draw from our own experiences to illustrate how embracing the idea of “your next” can lead to remarkable growth and fulfillment.

In the midst of it all, we’ll discuss the importance of ensuring that your next steps don’t become permanent. We’ve all been there – getting comfortable and stuck in one thing for too long. We’ll share strategies like reverse engineering, forecasting, backcasting, and post-mortem analysis to help keep your journey dynamic and exciting!

As we wrap up, we’ll underscore the significance of having systems in place to achieve your goals. We’ll provide real-life examples, from daily routines for weight loss to cultural immersion in Italy, that illustrate how systems can help you achieve anything you set your mind to.

We’re diving into the adventure of moving to Italy, sharing our own experiences and some valuable logistical tips to make your Italian dream a reality. First, we discuss the logistics and visa requirements for moving to Italy. Kim and I have had the pleasure of working with an immigration attorney to build a course to help guide you through the legal aspects of moving to Italy. In this episode, Kim provides a high-level overview of the visa options as well as paths to citizenship. Consulates have strict requirements for visa applications, so you’ll need to come prepared to avoid complications.

Speaking from our own journey, we talk about the cultural differences and expectations you’ll encounter when you move to Italy. We’ll help you avoid constantly questioning why things are done a certain way in Italy and instead, embrace the system and find workable solutions to make your transition smoother. Beyond that, language barriers can be daunting but learning Italian to connect with the local community is so important. We share our recommendations for effective language learning AND building community in Italy.

Today, we’ve got an inspiring and insightful conversation lined up for you, touching on everything from relationships and parenting to designing a fulfilling life.

Rob kicks things off with a thought-provoking idea: Are we too focused on long-term goals at the expense of short-term happiness? Money often drives our decisions but it’s so important to live intentionally, especially as we get older and need to bridge those gaps between our careers and personal lives.

Ever feel like you’re trying to have it all but getting nowhere fast? While we often try to have it all, we can’t. However, we can have those things that are most important to us, if we prioritize. Our goals can shift, but delaying happiness shouldn’t be the norm. Rob also reflects on his retirement goal: automating income to free up time for enjoyable pursuits. We’ll discuss various methods, including investments, that can lead to financial freedom and a happier life.

Together, we explore the importance of designing a life that aligns with your values and vision. Join us as we unpack these life lessons with a dash of humor and a whole lot of heart.
