What is the key to becoming your ideal self? How do you know what you want out of life<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Mountain Is You<\/em>, Brianna Wiest explains that becoming your ideal self will help you stop self-sabotaging<\/a> behaviors. In her book, she provides two major steps to achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at these two steps so you can learn how to become your ideal self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Identify and Take Steps Toward Your Ideal Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re able to overcome self-sabotage<\/a>, follow your instincts<\/a>, and effectively respond to your emotions, Wiest explains that you\u2019ll have the skills necessary to become your ideal self and achieve your life purpose<\/a>. There are two major steps to learning how to become your ideal self: First, identify your goal\u2014ask yourself what you want to do in life and who you want to be<\/a>. Second, develop principles that will guide your actions in life and help you take the steps necessary to achieve your purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Identify Your Purpose and Your Ideal Self<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wiest explains that you should strive for two goals: achieving your life purpose<\/a> and becoming your ideal self. Your life purpose <\/em>isn\u2019t just a hobby or the job you do. Rather, it\u2019s the point where your talents and passions converge with the needs of society\u2014an activity that inspires and fulfills you but that\u2019s also something that you can make a career out of. Your ideal self<\/em> is the most powerful, successful, happiest, and productive version of yourself that you can imagine. Wiest offers two exercises to help you identify your life purpose and ideal self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To identify your life purpose, Wiest recommends answering the following questions<\/strong>: What are you willing to work for, be challenged by, or even feel pain over? If you weren\u2019t concerned about others\u2019 approval, what would you choose as a career or aspire to do? What skills or activities come naturally to you or do you find yourself regularly engaging in? What would you do on an ideal day without considering work or obligations? What skills, values, or traits do you want to be remembered by?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To identify your ideal self, Wiest recommends engaging in a meditation<\/a> with your future self<\/a>.<\/strong> First, find a quiet place, sit down with a pen and paper, take deep breaths to center yourself, and release any fears or negative emotions. When you feel totally relaxed, visualize the highest version of yourself sitting across from you. Then, take note of how they look, behave, speak, and communicate through their body language<\/a>; what are they wearing, how are they feeling, and what do they do every day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, listen to the advice that this future self wants to give you, even if it\u2019s something you might disagree with at first. This advice should be uplifting, caring, and helpful. Now, imagine the particular aspects of this person\u2019s life that allow them to live their purpose\u2014where they\u2019re living, what job they\u2019re doing, the relationships they have, their daily tasks, their habits, and so on. Finally, imagine them giving you the key to that life\u2014their life, routines, behaviors, and skills are now yours. This final step will put you in an \u201caction\u201d mindset that encourages you to enact the tasks and behaviors necessary to become your ideal self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Develop Life Rules To Achieve Your Purpose and Ideal Self<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve identified your life purpose and the person you\u2019d like to become, Wiest says you must create <\/strong>life rules<\/em><\/strong> that will help you achieve and maintain these goals<\/strong>\u2014Wiest calls these principles<\/em>. <\/strong>These rules should represent personal commitments that you believe in and that will shape your life in the long term. For example, if you have a life rule to cut ties with people who regularly make you feel bad, you\u2019ll live a life surrounded by positive people<\/a> who encourage you to be your best self<\/a>. Life rules will help you make hard decisions<\/a> and face difficult or triggering situations, encourage you to continually pursue your goals<\/a>, and help you overcome barriers<\/strong> that may cause you to stray from your intended path. Living by your rules will ensure that you\u2019re happy and always progressing toward the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create life rules, Wiest recommends making a list of things you value<\/em> and genuinely care about, a list of feelings<\/em> you want to experience regularly, and a list of things that make you uncomfortable or produce anxiety<\/em>. Create rules that will help you reach the things you value, experience the feelings you desire, and manage the things that cause you anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you value travel, want to feel inspired throughout your life, and feel anxiety around financial issues, you can create the following life rule: \u201cI\u2019ll set aside money every month so I\u2019ll be able to travel without having to worry about the financial burden of it. I\u2019ll spend an hour each week researching travel locations to gain inspiration and foster my love for travel.\u201dUltimately, Wiest explains that these rules should pertain to every area of your life that\u2019s important <\/strong>to you<\/em><\/strong>\u2014this can be anything from finances to skill development, relationships, career building, communication, and so on. Most principles won\u2019t result in immediate gratification<\/a>, but over time, they\u2019ll pave the path to achieving your life purpose and ideal self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
