Live life on your terms, not someone else’s

A drawing of a person walking past a sign that reads: Live life on your terms

Design a life that reflects your values, needs, and desires.

Ever find yourself thinking, “This isn’t the life I signed up for?“

You're doing all the "right" things: checking the boxes, showing up, being responsible. But deep down, something feels off. Like you're playing a role in someone else's story, and your own voice is getting quieter by the day.

This guide will help you:

  1. Reflect on where you've been living by default instead of design

  2. Explore what your version of intentional living could look like

  3. Take practical steps to start shifting your life in ways that feel true to you

  4. Find the support to go deeper when you're ready

Let’s begin.

 

Step 1: Reflect

It’s easy to fall into routines that look good on paper but feel empty in practice. Let’s slow down and look at what’s really going on.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • What parts of my life feel like a performance?

  • Where am I making choices based on expectations, not values?

  • What have I been tolerating that no longer feels aligned?

Take a baby step

It’s time to stop drifting and start deciding. You don’t need to overhaul your life today. But one small shift? That’s where momentum begins.

Try one of these:

  • Say no to one thing this week that doesn’t serve you, even if it’s just out loud to yourself.

  • Block off one hour on your calendar labeled “My Time.” Use it however you want.

  • Write down three things you want more of in your life. Then pick one and take a small step toward it.
