Creating Your Ideal Life Through Lifestyle Design

Posted on July 09, 2011 by Kat Lessin, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

Lifestyle Design is about creating your ideal life so that all of the areas of your life are balanced, so that you are living authentically, and becoming location independent. Lifestyle Design is just that – you are the designer and creator of your own life – including work and play.

To escape your 9-to-5 job, Lifestyle Design coaching helps you create an action plan that is customized and unique for your needs. There are many ways to be free of a traditional work week and structure. Many clients like to create side businesses, often producing passive income. While some just want to introduce flex time, freelancing, or telecommuting to their current job. Lifestyle Design coaching helps you identify what solution is best for your needs and supports you in taking action to create the best income producing ideas for you.

Location independence is a core principle in Lifestyle Design. With the way technology and the global economy functions today, there is no reason to be chained to one location at any point in time. In this day and age you can live and work anywhere. As a Lifestyle Design Strategist, I help clients implement systems and automation to support flexibility. When designing your life and/or business, it is important to implement technology and systems to support you being fully location independent.

Coaching can help you shift your perspective in many ways. By breaking society’s rules, releasing the norm as negotiable, it is much easier to create a life that works best for you. It is often easier to do the unreasonable. If you want to live halfway across the world and not have it affect your business or work, you can do that. By looking at the rules as mutable, this often opens you up to possibilities and options you haven’t seen before. What you can decide to create for yourself is truly limitless. You have the freedom and flexibility to do what you want to do. It is important to be authentic and true to yourself in this process. Living the way everyone else does is not what Lifestyle Design is about.

It is important to be selective about that takes your focus and time. I call this self-management. When you are living a life that you love, it is important for you to do more while using up less of your precious time. You need to become selective of how you use your technology and systems, not becoming a slave to e-mail or “smart” devices. This often causes information overload. Learning to release what is not important (like checking e-mail ten times a day, reading news feeds, answering every phone call) allows you to focus on the important. As a coach I help clients identify their own life/work balance to become more efficient and productive. It is hardly ever about time management and more about managing yourself.

You have the freedom to create the life and lifestyle that is best for you. You can be fully liberated with freedom and flexibility, allowing you to be true to yourself. There is no longer a need to be unhappy, overwhelmed, and stressed out while stuck in an unhappy unfulfilled life. Your wildest dreams are possible. Your creativity is limitless if you release yourself from the status quo. Reality is negotiable. As a Lifestyle Design Strategist, I have designed my own business and my own lifestyle to help me be authentic in everything that I do. I truly live Lifestyle Design. By having lived it, I can help you do the same.
