YOUR PERFECT DAY
What is your perfect day?
My wife would say sleeping in, having me make breakfast for the family, then all of us watching a movie together on the couch.
We are not the same. Ha!
But what does it mean to live your perfect day when it comes to living your “best life?”
Maybe something eccentric & exciting like how Billionaire, Hayes Barnard wakes up, jumps in his boat on Lake Tahoe, performs a breathing exercise, does a cold plunge, and something new & exciting every day as captured in this great vlog-style video from My First Million: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=586uuNYwX1s
Or, maybe something more practical like Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule:
Recently, I read “The Code of The Extraordinary Mind” from Vishen Lakhiani, Founder of Mindvalley.
During a rough time in Vishen’s life, he adopted what he calls the 6-Phase Meditation technique. And in this technique, Phase 5 is dedicated to meditating on your perfect day.
Here you start with a simple question: In order for me to start achieving the items on my Three Most Important Questions list, what should I be doing today?
The Three Most Important Questions Vishen is referring to are:
What experiences do I want to have?
How do I want to grow?
How do I want to contribute?
Going through the exercise of answering the above three questions, then meditating daily on what your perfect day looks like in order to achieve the outcome, creates new scenarios in your mind to help you live your best life.
I’ve personally implemented Vishen’s 6-Phase Meditation into my daily life, and I’ve noticed how powerful focused mediation can be. It’s not passive, it’s work. And, it works.
Vishen’s 6-Phase mediation is free on the Mindvalley App if you’re interested: https://www.mindvalley.com/
Without first envisioning what your best life looks like, you have no idea how to get there.
Start with the above Three Most Important Questions, then spend time meditating each day on your perfect day.
I promise. It will change you.

Personal Growth
“What if you questioned everything you know and threw out all the pieces that hold you back? With The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, you can.
Learn to think like the greatest creative minds of our era—to question, challenge, and create new rules for your ideas of love, education, spirituality, work, happiness, and meaning. The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint for retraining our minds to hack everything—how we work, love, parent, and heal—and learn to succeed on our own terms…”
What I like about The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: Vishen creates his own language to address new ways of thinking to expand our vision of who we can become. Vishen breaks down how to find your purpose, what questions to ask yourself to live your best life, and how meditation can catapult personal success.

Most of us never set a vision for our life. Most people make life up as they go along, with no sense of what their life is about, no sense of personal meaning or their own identity. And that is what limits them.
